' SERIES "R" HUPP IS COMFORT GAR, DEALER ASSERTS . .Omer Tones Says New Type Has Met Test of Most Discriminating Buyers. "Orer a year ago the Hupp Motor Car Corporation announce! a new Hupmobile the Series- 'R,'" says Omer Jones, of Jones and Farmers, local Hupp agent. "At that time the company expressed Its conviction that the Series 'R' was the best Hupmobile ever built. "This as said, not alone because tha Sort. , R' outdistanced all Its predecessors in strength and quality of material and quality of workmanship, not because by test the 'R outpointed every other Hupmobile In allaround performance, comfort and economy, but because this newest Hupmobile seemed to anticipate and meet the demands of the most important section of the great molor-buying public that part which demands a relatively light car at the lowest price . w hich insures the best in engineering, material and workmanship "We announce now, that confidence In the Series 'R was not misplaced. Jln the hands of over 10,000 owners In all parts of this country yes, in all ' parts of tho world it has gone beyond the company's highest hopes. "I can also say that it was the fruit of nine years' effort, for in it all that tho Hupmobile company has 1earn?d as manufacturers of good motor cars since the first Hupmobile was built, found its fullest expression I can now say that It is the car that over 100,000 critical users have tested and found a worthy upholder of tho Hupmobile reputation. Hup- " mobile quality is In all Hupmobiles, no matter what the stress of the times, The company seeks the material its standards demand, and pay tho prices it has to pay. "It would seem that a car thoroughly good all around, could not have a dominating feature yet the Series "TV has a dominating feature. It la comfort. "The company called it the Comfort car, and I stake my reputation on tho guess that if it had not been namjul tho comfort car, it would now bo called by owners the comfort car, anyway."

GERMANY TO

f Continued From fo One.l Thero was always the fatal dilemma "Shall we save Germany to pay at the rHk of her b"ing a peril, or shall we permit her to fall into chaos, becoming tln:s powerless but also incapable of paying?" In the absence of any settled policy on the part of the En-

. Trnio nauons uprmany was permuted to pink into revolution. We could not make up our minds to give her the raw mulerial to start her factorlfs, we loukl not doclde to remove the

blockade and lot her population go !

back to work. In this we were ptopp-d by the fact that to permit her to do this would be to enable her to exploit to her own interest her destruction of French industries and Belgian factories The monstrous unfairness of such a course was patent, but it was not less plain that if we did not permit her to go to work she would not only be unable to pay but her population would presently become accustomed to idleness and unwilling to go back to work. This is what has happened. Apprehension of a militaristic Germany during the next ten or fifteen years may bo now dismissed as idle. Germany can't fight and Germany won't fight. The national spirit is at least temporarily broken, confidence in national leadprs, In old policies of pan-Germanism has disappeared. Economically, morally, militarily Germany is

at dead low water and the flood tide!

must be a long time coming. Rut in escaping the peril of a strong

Germany which obsessed our leaders

who made the Armistice, which ob

sensed all minds in Paris at many j

moments, the conquerors of the Kaiser have only fled to a new danger.

We have almost finished computing ; how much Germany owes us and there i

is not a living man in Paris who has the remotest faith that we shall ever be able to collect even an insignificant fragment of our bill. We have permitted our debtor to become toi, tally bankrupt. We have permitted him not merely to lose the larger portion of his capacity to work, but also the desire and the incentive to work. The German has laid down his tools, abandoned his desk, economic paralysis is all over Germany and of murs the liquid capital of Germany Available , to meet obligations Is infinitesimal. Tragedy of Situation.

This arter all is tho real tragedy of th-.i situation which now confronts j the Pirls Conference. With respect of Germany it had no policy. It was) surprised in November as it was surprised in March. Victorious at the I latter date it could not believe its j own senses. The 6ne man who was ' capable of loading, namely President j Wilson, was interested in the organl- j ration of society in the League of Na- ; tions cat primarily in dealing with ' Germany, and in a very real sense all ! that has happened In the case of Ger-

many is exactly what happened in the case of Russia. We could not make up our minds as to Russia. We could not decide who were our friends in Russia. We could not satisfy ourselves what to do and in the end Russia disappeared in chaos. The disease which is attacking Germany may or may not be the same as the Russian disease. Not improbably Bolshevism in part at least Is a sheer Slav phenomenon, but it is no less sure that the German disease is following a course revealing exactly the same symptoms in something like. the same time. I have said all thi9 with reference to the German domestic condition be cause I am anxious that my American readers should understand how, greatly Germany has changed' between the 11th of November and the 11th of March. We have now in fact to speculate as to whether there is any authority capable of signing the name of Germany to the Peace of Versailles. We have to calculate as. to whether the Geiman representatives If not in the case of. the preliminaries of peace which will be signed in Paris at least in the case of the definitive text will not simply declare their inability to sign such a document and invite the Allies to occupy Germany and enfore

their terms if they choose, hoping, as I

I have said before, that while disorder grows in Allies countries as a result of the necessity of new military effort and Allied troops are corrupted by German propaganda their presence will protect German factories and towns from the violence of a revolution.

The pimple truth is that Germany remains today as great a mystery as in 1916 of 101G. It remains as great a peril not in a military sense, but in an economic sense in a moral sense. Russia is in chaos. If to ISO, 000. 000 Russians there are added 70,000,000

Germans ,1f we have a quarter of bil-

lion people in Europe given over to the production of anarchy, will not the peril of contagion be as great as was the old danger of invasion? And if even now we intervene to save what is left of order in Germany and we do save Germany how shall 40,000,000 of Frenchmen in the future defend themselves against 70,000,00 of Germans when Germany has regained her health and absorbed the Austrian Germans? Having said all this I desire now to pass to the simple and practical question of the changes in Germany's political frontiers which are envisaged in the first draft of the preliminary peace terms. Germany is to lose outright Alsace-Lorraine, with an area which together with that of the Saar coal district slightly exceeds 6,000 square milts and an ante-war population of 2.250,000. She is to lose the Danish rpenking portion of Schleswig with! upwards of 2,000 square miles and approximately 250,000 people, although the question of the extent of the area and of the number of peo

ple taken will depend upon the vote i of the inhabitants and some of the southern districts including the city I

of Flensburg may choose to . remain German. She is to lose her province of Posen practically entire, with an area ot" 11,000 square miles and a population of 2,000,000 together with a strip of Upper Silesia which will contain several thousand square miles and 1,000,000 people." In sum Germany will lose thus outright betv.-en 20,000 and 23,000 square miles .approximately 10 per cent, of her old area with something like 5,500,000 of people or about 8 per cent, of her ante war population. This last will possibly, but not surely, ba offset by the gain incident to the union of the German speaking districts of Austria with the German Empire. These include the old divisions of Lower Austria. Upper Austria. Salz

burg. Styria, Carinthia, at least half

of the Tyrol and the Vorarlberg with j B!

a population of about 7,000,000 and an area in excess of 30,000 square miles. So far then Germany stands to gain, slightly after having surrendered Alsaces Lorraine to France, Schleswig to Denmark and Posen and a portion of Silesia to the new Poland. Frontier Changes. But there are two other changes In German frontiers which may-wholly modify this situation. Between the Rhine on the East and .the Belgian, French and Luxembourg boundaries on the W'egt It Is now proposed to create a Rhenish Republic which for a considerable period of time during which the Allied armies .will occupy German territory is a guarantee for the payment of German obligations. This Rhenish Republic will have an area approximately 20,000 square miles and a population of between 4,000.000 and 5,000,000. !f, as is possible, at the end of the period of occupation It chooses independence rather than a return to Germany this population will be lost to the Empire permanently, but in any ase it will be lost for a period of years and German military resources will be correspondingly reduced. Finaliy we face the possibility expressed In the demand of President Wilson in his fourteen points, that Poland should have access to the sea. Thre solutions of this problem are possible. The first would simply give the Poles rights in Dantzig compatable with those which the Serbs now posseaa with respect to the Greek port of Salonika, rights which do not conflict with Greek sovereignty and on the ether hand guarantee the Serbs against interference with the free egress and ingress of their commerce. It is the simplest solution. The second solution suggests the bestowal upon Poland of a considerable strip of territory on the left bank of the Vistula River from the old Russian frontier to the Baltic constituting perhaps a half of the Prussian province of East Prussia, inhabited mainly, but not entirely by Polish speaking peoples. The third solution contemplated the annexation and accession to Poland of all the German territory between the old Russian frontier and the German province of Posen on the south which Is to be joined to Poland and the sea. This would mean the cession of some 24,000 square miles of Germany territory, with a population of 3,750,000, of which at least twothirds would be German. Sea Coast Needed. As between the three solutions only the flrrt and the last are possible it would seem. Either of them would create a situation which might endure although it is clear that Germany might some time in the future close Dantsiz to tho Poles and thus strangle Polish commerce. But to give Poland a narrow strip, the so-called corridor, would simply mean separating two portions of German territory by a narrow and indefensible strip of Polish teritory.

real question with respect to the frontiers of Germany which has not been decided is thi3 last and like all the other difficult problems in Paris, that of the sea coast of Poland has been left to the last, but it cannot be avoided much longer and In all probability, before this article has been printed an announcement will be made In Paris of the new frontiers of Germany on all sides. Summing It all up it will be seen that Germany la to lose by permanent cession and by the surrender of the Rhenish regions, which is at least temporary, .upwards of 45,000 square miles, more than 20 per cent of her old area with a population of at least 10,000,000, more than one-seventh of her ante-war population. But of this population 3,000,000 at least are Poles and 2,000,000 Alsatians and Lorrainers who were unwilling German subjects. To offset this Germany: may gain an area two-thirds as large in old Austria with seyen million of German 6peaking people. The less then to Germany would not be serious were it not for the fact that the regions to be separated include all the more valuable iron deposits and at least one of the 'great coal fields and as a consequence will, result in the permanent weakening of German Industry. Germany will lose approximately all that portion of her iron and coal production which was in excess of her own domestic consumption and this may be a very grave problem for the future when we come to consider how Germany is to pay. Compromise in Demands. Finally if East and West Prusia are joined to Poland as they must be if a logical and permanent solution of the Polish problem is to be achieved then Germany will find herself actually reduced in size despite an Austrian annexation and her last hope of Baltic empire extinguished. Such then is the present proposal in Paris with respect of Germany. It will be seen that in the main the territories which are to be subtracted

belong to the nations which are now to receive them." The Rhenish Republic is a compromise between French and Balglan demands for security and President Wilson's principle of self determination. Only in Poland are considerable German populations possibly but not certainly to be assigned to rulers of another race, but here the question is whether ' 25,000,000 Poles shall be deprived of economic freedom in the interests of preserving the racial independence of 2,500,000 of German or whether the relatively smaller German " population Ehall be sacrificed as a necessary detail in the creation of a real and enduring Poland.

A MORE ENDURING "SIX"

Yet It is $1475

This new Mitchell is not merely a new model. It is a new criterion. It comes to introduce new standards and new. principles. The improvements number more than 100. The advances are radical. Together they embody 50 more Strength, 75 more Endurance, 25 more Economy, 20 added Beauty and Comfort. Such changes denote no ordinary evolution. They mean a revolution in this type and class.

We Face the Facts We have simply faced these facts. Mitchell pioneered the Six. All the world over Mitchell Sixes hold unique

respect. When higher standards seem-. ed essential. Mitchell was the car to introduce them. So in this new car we fulfill that obligation. There is no such thing as overstrength in these days. The utmost endurance is none too much. There - are thousands of motorists who think as we do, and this car is for them.Prices F. 0. B. Racine

Tuesday and Wednesday, April 1 and 2 Afternoon only. On National Road i mile, west of Centerville on the Clarence Brumfield Farm.

Every one of these new standards means an added cost. Some are quite expensive, as you'll see. Yet this new

car still undersells any comparable Six. Under present conditions the profit is very small. The price would be impossible save for wonderful factory efficiency. We build the complete car motor, chassis and body under scientific cost-reducing methods. Go sec tho result at your local Mitchell showroom. It will give vou a new ideal.

INCIDENTAL FACTS Write for our catalog, or go ovm- the enr with your dopier. But note that to a strong car we have added 60 per cent more strength. To a many-year development we have added 75 petcent endurance. Despite added weight, we have reduced operating cost by 23 per cent. To insure finer workmanship and more exacting testF, we have spent $250,000 for new machinery and equipment. To insure perfection in every detail we have 135 trained inspectors. For enduring appearance, we use twice the usual varnish coats. And we use a costly top. For comfort we use a long wheelbase, long cantilever rear springs, a ball-bearing steering gear.
