A semi-official communication to the German press expresses the fear that recent numerous fires in munition factories and establishments engaged in war work may be attributed in part to peace advocates, who hare taken this means of -hastening an end to the war. The destruction

considerations of comradeship stand

in the way of detecting and denouno-

"The Happy Medium"

THERE is so much of the time when the touring car is a larger car than yoti need and a two-passenger roadster would be too small, that the Lexington Minute-Man Clubster is the happy medium.. The Clubster seats four adult passengers comfortably yet when only two or three are riding it does not nave that partially occupied appearance which a larger car inevitably has. . . .

The Lexington Clubster is a smart-looking," sociable car. N

oecause. it is a lexington ana equipped witn a ivioore jviuinpie Exhaust System it has the "pep" and responsiveness which only Lexington can have. The Moore Multiple Exhaust System gives 22.8 more usable power with less gasoline, reduces carbon, ahU ignition troubles to a minimum, and saves wear and tear on engine; and car. ' . . Like all Lexington models the Clubster is particularly suitable for women drivers. No other car steers so easily, or gives such a complete feeling of' absolute' control : and;, dependability.' T. . . . The ' Lexington four.patsenjrer, Clubster is the season's roost pleasing car of this type.. From every standpoint, power, beauty, comfort, and economy, it is an ideal car. ' See it and you will admit it.
