The Boys Are Off

Richmond's first contingent, fpreceded by a

skeleton squaa a iew weexs ago,is on ior me training camp.

The city turned out to wish the boys good luck and success. There were rtears and heartaches in the crowd that watched the boys pull

out of the Pennsylvania station Many a mother is today fighting the grim battle against fear

and suspense.

It is only natural that feathers and mothers

should feel downcast when thfeir sons leave home.

.This holds true not . only wfoen, the boys leave

home for military training, ibut also when they

depart for peaceful pursuits.

And yet the American mother today is not a

whit worse off than thousands of mothers in war-

scarred Europe. Boys have been marching away

from home in the countries across the Atlantic

for three years. Many of the lads of Great Brit

ain and France went into battle with poor equip

ment and insufficient training. America's young : men will not be handicapped by these deficiencies. Our boys will go to France and Belgium trained to fight and to take care of themselves. In the farewell hour it is well for us to remember the truth that this life is not all sunshine and roses. There are dark and gloomy days. The - man and woman of heroic character accepts the vicissitudes of life with, composure and resignation. Every privilege which we enjoy entails and brings with it. a responsibility. It is a high privilege to be an American citizen. Commensurate with this privilege is our high duty to defend the principles on which our government is founded. If the theory of republican government is" a good one, it is worth while fighting for. If our souls do not pulsate with patriotism exalted enough to battle for human rights, we are recreant to our duty and base traitors to a government for which Washington fought and for which Lincoln laid down his life. Every mother in Richmond would be proud to be the mother of Washington or Lincoln. She

scorns the privilege when she bemoans the international crisis that called her son to battle for the very principles that made Washington and Lincoln men of such towering significance in history that Great Britain and France today are proud to worship at their shrines.

Can the plot of the novelist, ingeniously inventing situations, lead up to a climax portraying more brazen effrontery than this effort of a supposedly neutral diplomat at Washington? What new disclosure of Teutonic trickery and deceit will Washington publish next to expose the everlasting shame of the Kaiser's representatives in this country?

The roll of Teutonic shame in this country is

unparalleled? Machinations to induce Mexico to attack us from the rear, overtures to Japan to move against our insular possessions, explosions

and arson to wreck our industrial plants and imperil the lives of our workers, money spent to or

ganize societies assailing our government, and

now studied movement to bribe our national legislators, sanctioned and approved by the Im

perial Government. Can the American people resolve on anything less than a complete overthrow of the Hohenzollern dynasty and the war lords? Will this world be safe for democracy so long as a powerful government stoops to such methods and still has the unmitigated audacity to proclaim its innocence to the world? The Bernstorff incident ought to arouse this country to a realization of the true extent of the autocracy against which it is battling.

. Perfidious Bernstorff What more astounding proof of German treachery, diplomatic perfidy and personal mendacity need be cited to the pro-Germans of

this country to convince them of the errors of their ways than the revelations of Von Bern

storff 's effort, to bribe members of Congress with $50,000 to obtain results wanted by the Imperial German government.

To Our Fellow Citizens of German Descent (From the Milwaukee Germania Herald) Every citizen of German birth has rendered

the oath of allegiance to the country of his adoption. His very pride of ancestry should remind him of the old saying: "To be German is to be faithful." In this case faithful to this country. No man can serve two masters. Every citizen can serve only his own country. And the outbreak of the war with Germany can alter nothing in this respect; as far as the citizen of German descent is concerned. He is in duty bound, by his oath of allegiance, to remain, at his post, unhesitatingly and unflinchingly, even unto death. . How very grave! But every dark cloud, if there is such a cloud, has a silver lining.

Cannot the man of German blood render a service even to the country which is still dear to his heart by the very fulfillment of his duty as an American citizen? America alone can and will be the decisive factor. . - - f Only in Germany a general conviction that -America can and will decide the issue does not seem to prevail. They do not know in Germany the inexhaustible resources of America ; they do not know in Germany the, indomitable will of our country to conquer. They perceive merely that so far we progressed slowly, but they forget the fact that the United States .was utterly unpre

pared. Yet sufficient support can and will be given the entente powers for a preliminary check to hold out till America's armies of millions reach Europe's soil and gam the victory. To bring this to the consciousness of the German people the German-American may lend his aid. . Furthermore, he may impress upon the mind of the German people that they may have an honorable peace as soon as they will themselves take hold of matters in the German empire. - America alone stands firm, unbroken, fresh with inexhaustible resources. It does not fight

to make conquests, it does hot fight to gain reim

bursement of jts war expenditures. This must be made clear to the big heads of the pan-Germans and to the -Prussian junkers. They must learn to relinquish all thoughts and dreams of world dominion. . If the German people will it, the useless shed

ding of blood will cease. Then America will dictate the terms of peace, which the President of

the United States already has proclaimed in the

following words: "Punitive damages, the dismemberment of empires, the establishment of selfish and exclusice economic, leagues, we deem inexpedient and in the end worse than futile, no proper basis for a peace of any kind, least of all for an enduring peace. That must be based upon justice and fairness and thecommon rights of mankind."

"Know ye not," he said, "that Ions ago she gave leave to all who ate the salt to be true to the salt? She gave the Khyber jeEailchis leave to flght against her. Be sure, whatever she does, she will stand between no man and his pardon!" "Bat will she lead a jihad? We will not fight against her!" "Nay," said King, drawing in his

breath. Ismail's chin felt like a knife against his collar bone, and Ismail's iron fingers clutched his arm. It was

time to give his hostage to dame Fortune. " "She will go down into India and use her Influence in the matter of the parodns!" "I believe thou art a very great liar indeed!" said the man who lacked part of his nose. "The Pathan went, and he did not come back. What proof have we?" "Ye have me!" said King. "If I show you no proof, how can I escape you?" They all grunted agreement as to that. King used his elbow to hit Ismail in the ribs. He did not dare speak to him ; but now was the time for Ismail to carry information to her. supposing that to be his job. And after a minute Ismail rolled into a shadow and was gone. King gave him twenty minutes' start, letting his

men rest their legs and exercise their tongues. Now that he was out of the mullah's clutches and he suspected Yasmini would know of it within an hour or two, and before' dawn in any event he began to feel like a

player in a game of chess who foresees his opppnment mate in so many

moves.

If Yasmini were to let the mullah

and his men into the Caves and to join forces with him in there, he would at least have time to hurry back to India with his eighty men and give warning. He might have time to call up the Khyber jezailchis and blockade the Caves before the

hive could swarm, and he chuckled to think of the hope of that. On the other hand, if there was to be a battle royal . between Yasmini and the mullah he would be there to watch it and to comfort India with the news. , "Now we will go on again, in order to be close to Khinjan at break of day," he said, and they all got up and obeyed him as if his word had

been law to them for years. Of all of them he was the only man in -doubt he who seemed most confident of all. They swung along into the darkness under low-hung stars, trailing behind King's horse, with only half a dozen of them a hundred yards or so ahead as an advance guard, and all of them

expecting to see Khinjan loom above

each next valley, for distances and

darkness are deceptive in the Hills, even to trained eyes. Suddenly the

advance guard halted, but did not

shoot. And as King caught up. with

them he saw they were talking with

some one. He had to ride up close

before he recognized the Orakzai Pa

than. "Salaam!" said the fellow with

a grin. "I bring one hundred and

eleven !

As he spoke graveyard shadows

rose out of the darkness all around

and leaned on rifles.

"Be ye men all ex-soldiers of the

raj?" King asked them. "Aye!" they growled in chorus. "What will ye?"

"Pardons!" They all said the word

together.

"Who gave you leave to come?"

King asked.

"None! He told us of the pardons

and we came!" "Aye ! " said the Orakzai ' Pathan, drawing King aside. ; "But she gave me leave to seek them out and tempt them!" "And what does she intend?" King asked him suddenly.

"She? Ask Allah, who put the I

spirit in her! How should I know?"

"We will march again, my Drotners:

King shouted, and they streamer

great hand on the saddle. LAice tne

Just as the dawn was tinting the sur

topped a ridge, and Khinjan lay be

"Men with New Eyes" saw it now for the first time, and it held them speechless, for with Its patchwork towers and high battlements it looked like a very city of the-spirits that their tales around the fire on winter nights

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

Dick squeezed my hand nnder cover' of ihe cloak. "No more lean years for my girl if J. can help it," he murmured earnestly. . "I'm not saying these actors nowadays are not all right; but they don't hold a candle to the older ones. Take Mary Anderson, now. There was an actress worthy of the name! 1 remember when I saw her " Not only Dicky and I, but everybody near us turned in amazement at the sound of the querulous old voice telling of other days. "By George, Madge!" Dicky drew a deep breath. "Look at that! Those ' people are just what I want for that cover I've been muddling over so long. The only trouble is that if I knew them just as they are everybody will gay I evolved them from my imagination that they never existed in the . flesh." I agreed with Dicky as I looked at the owner of the voice, an old man, thin, spare, with clear blue eyes, and a long, carefully trimmed white beard, which waggled as he talked. The two women with him, resembling him so closely that I knew they must be his daughters, were pleasant-faced, intellectual looking women, but bore in every line of their dowdy costumes every stiff awkward movement of the bodies, the hall mark of the middleaged women from the small country town on her first visit to a large city. "Scared to death, both of them, for fear they won't do the correct thing," commented Dicky. "I say. Madge, would you mind changing seats with me for the evening? I've got to get a sketch of them. They are notlthe kind who will pose,, and if I try it from the aisle seat they will catch on, sure as fate. But behind your broad . shoulders," he burlesqued with a grin, "I shaU be safe." "But, Dick," I protested, horrified, "You wouldn't sketch them without their knowledge, would you?" "Just watch me," Dick replied, curt"Ur. "Pon't get alarmed. I'm not go

ing to produce a drawing board and do a studio stunt, but I must get some impression of those faces." "But where is your paper and pencil?" My voice still held a note of protest, which Dicky ignored. "I'm never without a pencil," he replied, producing a disreputable looking stub of one." and the margin of the program will do nicely. Save it and after I'm dead and famous you can trade it for bread. Now, lady fair, if you will just change seats." His eyes were dancing as he rose and stood looking down at me, waiting for me to rise. I read merriment, tenderness and the enthusiasm for hi3 work which will carry Dicky far, I feel. I rose without a word and took the aisle seat, and Dicky arranged my cape around me so that be could sketch unobserved behind it. "Go ahead, talk to me just as if I weren$ doing this," Dicky commanded. "This won't take all my time. Let's look around and see the first-nighters. To be continued

See How These 14 Rivel Gars Fall Behind Saxon "Six"

Here are 14 cars that rival Saxon "Six" in price. Some cost less. Some cost more. They range in price from $895 to $1250. Saxon "Six" costs $935. But see how far they fall behind Saxon "Six" in point of fine-car features. Saxon "Six" has Continental motor, Remy ignition, Wagner 2-unit starting and lighting system, Timken axles, Exide storage battery, Stromberg carburetor, Fedders radiator, Warner steering gear, Timken bearings, Spiral bevel gear, and Semifloating axle. Every one of these 11 important attractions is of top quality. That is proven by the fact that they are all found on the cost"liest cars made in sAmerica.

Each of these 11 features on Saxon "Six" at $935 is also

found on at least 9 cars ranging in cost from $1175 to $10,000. In other words, the fine cars, the cars- of high price that demand quality regardless of cost, use the same 11 features that Saxon "Six" has. But do "these 14 cars in the Saxon "Six" price-class also adopt these features? They do not save in occasional case. Out of these 14 cars, ranging in price from $895 to $1250, 3 have not a single one of these quality features. Three of these 14 cars have only 1 of the 11 fine features. Three have only 2 of these 11 features. Four have only 3 of these 11 features. And only 1 car has 4 of these 11 features. And yet that car costs $250 more than Saxon "Six."

This check proves beyond dispute that cars costing $200 or $300 more than Saxon "Six" cannot match it in quality and value. For out of the 14 cars we listed at $895 to $1250, 13 of them cost from $10 to $315 more than Saxon "Six." Only one costs less. So buy Saxon "Six" at $935 and save the difference. And you'll get a better car and a better value. But by all means buy now. Come in today. - Remember this point, too. The very things that make any motor car desirable, such as quick pick-up, spirited performance, smooth pulling power, vigorous flexibility, quiet operation, and long efficiency, are found in far greater measure in a "Six" than in a "four." Saxon "Six" Sedan, $1395; Saxon "Six" Chummy Roadster, $935; Saxon Roadster, $395. F. o. b. Detroit.
