Does America Know? (Ruth Wright Kauffman, special correspondent of The Vigilantes send3 the following appeal from Paris:) DOES AMERICA KNOW That there is a WAR going on in Europe? That the wastage on the British front alone is 2,000 men a day ? That a present of 100,000 Airships to the Allies will do no good .unless, the engines are of the sort that can be used at the front? That when America sends men to France, the men must be fed and clothed and given guns? That the maintenance of an army at the front is the maintenance of a city as big as Chicago suddenly dumped in the middle of a desert ? That England has had to build her own

docks in Northern France to receive her transports? That it's like offering a live elephant to a baby to offer to France American troops without maintenance? That "it is easy to reckon how much tonnage is necessary to transport an army from America to the European continent and how much tonnage is required to feed such an army; that France and England are scarcely able to feed and supply their own armies without influencing their military and economic situation still more and that the submarine warfare is accomplishing all, and more than all, that was expected of it?" (Michaelis in the Reichstag.) That every day there are fewer men living in that thin human wall which divides Germany from New York? That there really are such things as shells and bombs and poisonous gas and liquid flame, and that when these things strike you, they hurt? That either: It's up to America to strain every nerve of every individual and finish this war properly, Or: It's up to every workingman in the United States to hand over so much per week out of his wage for the rest of his natural existence into Germany's pocket-book, and pay for this war properly. MUST WAR PUT ITS IRON FINGERS ON THE THROAT OF EACH SMALL TOWN OF THE UNITED STATES BEFORE AMERICA RUBS ITS EYES AND YAWNS AND TRIES TOO LATE TO JUMP OUT OF BED?

CHAPTER XVII Instead of the mullah, growling texts out of a Quran on his lap, the Orakzal Pathan sat and sunned in the cave mouth, emitting worldlier wisdom unadulterated with divinity. As King went toward him to see to whom he spoke he grinned and pointed with his thumb, and King looked down on some sick and wounded men who sat in a crowd together on the ramp, ten feet or so below the cave. They seemed stout soldierly fellows. Men of another type were being kept t a distance by dint of arguments and threats. Away in the distance was Muhammad Anim with his broad back turned to the cave, In altercation with a dozen other mullahs. For tne time he was out of the reckoning. "Some of these are wounded," the Pathan explained. "Some have sores. Then again, some are sick of words, hot and cold by day and njght. All have served In the army. All have medals. All are deserters, some for one reason, some for another and some for no reason at all. Bull-with-a-beard looks the other way. Speak thou to them about the pardon that Is offered!" So King went down among them, taking some of the tools of his supposed trade with him and trying to crowd down the triumph that would well up. The seed he had sown had multiplied by fifty- in a night. He wanted to shout, as men once did before the walls of Jericho. A man bared a ssvord cut. He bent over him, and if the mujlah had turn

ed to look there would have been no ground for suspicion. So in a voice Just loud enough to reach them all, he repeated what he had told the Pathan the day before. "But who art thou?" asked one of them suspiciously. Perhaps there had been a shaJe too much cocksuredness in the hakim's voice, but he-acted faultlessly when he answered. Voice, accent, bannerism, guilty pride, were each perfect. "Political offended. My brother yonder in the cave mouth" The Pathan smirked. He liked the imputation) "suggested I seek pardon, too. He thinks if I persuade many to apply for pardon then the sirkar may forgive me for service rendered." The Pathan's smirk grew to a grin. He liked grandly to have the notion fathered on himself; and his compla

cency of course was suggestive of the hakim's trustworthiness. But the East

he at least will gain nothing by it .We can plunge our knives in him first whatever else happens." "Aye!" That was reasonable and they approved in chorus. Possibility of pardon and reinstatement, though only heard of at second hand, had brought unity into being. . And unity brought eagerness. "Let us start tonight!" urged one man, and nobody hung back. - "Aye! Aye! Aye!" they chorused. And eagerness, as always in the Hills, brought wilder counsel In its wake. "Who dare stab Bull-with-a-beard? He has sought blood and has let blood. Let him drink his own!" "Aye!" "Nay! He 13 too well guarded." "Not he!" "Let us stab him and take his head with us; there well may be a price on it." They took a vote on it and were agreed; but that did not suit King at all,- whatever Muhammad Anim's personal deserts might be. To let him be stabbed would be to leave Yasmini without a check on her of any kind, and then might India defend herself! Yet to leave the mullah and Yasmini both at large would be almost equally dangerous, for they might form an alliance. There must be some other way, and he set out to gain time. "Nay, nay, sahibs!" he urged. "Nay, nay!" "Why not?" "Sahibs, I have wife and children in Lahore. Same are most dear to me and I to them. I find it expedi

ent to make great effort for my pardon. Ye are but fifty. Ye are less than fifty. Na, let us gather a hundred men." "Who shall find a hundred?" some-, body demanded, and there was a chorifs of denial. "We be all in this camp who ate the salt." It was plain, though, that his daring to hold out only gave them the more confidence in him. "But Khinjan," he objected. The

crimes of the Khinjan men were not ; to the point. Time had to be gained.,' To be continued t

. PARIS, Sept. 12. The Italian government is considering a series of measures which it is expected will limit the consumption of foodstuffs and raw materials, according to a Havas Agency dispatch from Rome. The measures, which it is proposed to put into effect in the near future, include the rationing of foods classed as necessities, the monopoly of shoe production by the state, suppression after Sept. 15- of private automobiles except those used by officials and diplomats, and other measures of a like nature.

CURED HIS RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have njthing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 139D, Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured--you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation. Adv.

They all laughed at that and seizing the moment when they were in a pliant mood the Orakzal Pathan proceeded to bring proposals to a head. "Are we agreed?" he asked.

Today prices of all motor cars are at the low-point. Climbing costs of materials and labor are inexorably drawing the time near when new and far higher prices must be set. A number have already announced higher prices or set the exact date when new prices take effect. So the wise buyer will purchase his Saxon "Six" at $935 now. In performance, in beauty, in value, you'll find Saxon "Six" the best "buy," dollar for dollar, in the field of cars ranging in cost from $800 to $1150. It is a big car, an able car, a roomy car for all five passengers. And it is a "Six." Contrasted with a "four" Saxon "Six" belongs to a higher class as far as performance is concerned.

For the mechanical restrictions of the four-cylinder type of motor limit it to a less "peppery" pick-up, less smooth pulling power, less flexibility, and less quietness in operation, than Saxon "Six" affords. In high quality features it will match any car costing $200 or $300 more. Saxon "Six" has a Continental motor of six cylinders, Timken axles, Timken bearings, Stromberg carburetor, Remy ignition, Fedders radiator, Spiral bevel gear, Semiflcating axle, Exide storage battery, Wagner starting and lighting system, and Warner Steering gear, as eleven of its important features. You will find two or more of these features on 14 cars, ranging in price from $3,000 to $10,000. You will find two or more of these features on 22 cars ranging in price from $1350 to $3,000.

Ycu will find two or more of these features on 24 cars ranging In price from $1150 to $2500. That census shows the quality of Saxon "Six." It is a fine car thruout -down to the last detail. But it may be you are more directly interested in performance what your car can do on the road. It has a quick, smooth pick-up. It is a vigorously flexible car. It rides the road closely. You feel safe and secure when the speedometer needle flashes up to the 50-mile-an-hour mark. From the standpoint of quality, performance and value, Saxon "Six" at $935 has proved itself a better investment than any car within $200 or $300 of its price. Saxon "Six" Sedan, $1395; Saxon "Six" Chummy Roadster, $935; Saxon Roadster, $395. F. o. b. Detroit.
