UNSELFISH MOTIVE SEEN Consul in San Franclscx Says Gen eral Had Mind to Give Pause to Younger Generation Act Judged by Itself. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) "I believe that General Nogl was prompted to take his life, not alone because of his great love for. the late Emperor, as a last tribute of affection, but also to give pause to the younger generation of Japanese who are pushing the nation ahead rapidly in many lines of progress, to bring re flection on what the old order repre sented by General Nogi stood for, and the trend of present advancement." This was the comment made here to day bv Matsuzo Nagai, Japanese Con sul at San Francisco, on the suicide of General Count Nogi. " 'Bashido' Is the death of honor and not of cowardice," said Consul Nagai. "It has been pretty well eliminated frotn the code of honor of the Japanese in The past few generations, an effort havinsr been made to frown it out of existence. But the case of General Nogi cannot be placed In the general category; he was so dinereni. "General Nogi was" of the old order; with him the ancient traditions of our country were very dear and very much alive. We of the younger generation can hardly understand them. "There was in his breast more of humanity and gentleness than of the warrior spirit, wo regaroea nira as one of the great gentlemen of the age, and all his acts bore out that characterization. "So, because of these things, his act cannot be measured by the ordinary standards of our new code. W hen sev eral soldiers committed harl-kiri. fol lowing the Emperor'B death, there was general criticism of their deed. "The vounerer generation regards it as better that its distinguished and valuable men of the. nation should not destroy themselves, that they can serve their country better by living than by death. But. again. I say General Nog) cannot be criticised by the common standard." HASKLVS BOOK TELLS OF POW ERFUL DEFENSE WEAPONS.

It tells more about what is behind Chalmers Cars than pages of specifications. WE are in business not merely to make money, but alBo to make good. We are in business to stay. The Chalmers Motor Company can only continue permanently by building cars which offer the highest possible values at their prices. For 1913 we have directed our energies to the development of Chalmers Cars along the lines of Com fort, Convenience and Appearance. Mechanically, our cars have been right from the beginning. Their records in scores of contests and in the hands of 27,000 buyers prove this. Yet we have refined and Improved them mechanically from year to year. For 1913, however, we have directed our attention principally to making our cars more luxurious, easier to handle, and more beautiful. We believe that we have accom plished what we set out to do. We feel that we do not have to make wordy claims for our cars. We merely submit the Chalmers line for 1913 as the best evidence of what we have done as the best proof of the htgh dollar-for-dollar value of our product. The cars themselves are more elo quent than a volume of claims. . HUGH CHALMERS. Come to oar showrooms and see the cars themselves.
