This preraution was takn ia order to outwit possible Cerinan spies who were t-ver watchful '.n those days of the war. For (,-riiian Liner FUtartletl We Journr'e: to New York City and iheiue to Hoboken via P'erry, and boarded the famous German lin er. Kaiser Wilhelm II. and were at last on our way to France to take out small part In the great war. This was the day we had been looking forward to for so many months,' and we were very happy to be really on our way; Wa were not cut off from all outside information and were not even allowed to call friends on the phone to say good bye. There were no bands or pa rades, no words of cheer or good byes. We were leaving as thieves or the night, knowing full well that many were not to return. AH this because of the insidious, ever watch ful German spy. How we hated them! Toward evening of January 13 our 700-foot ship slipped out f rom . the dock and started on its journey overseas. All hands wer ordar be low decks to attract as little atten tion as possible. . In getting out of the Hudson on North river our ship jammed into i one of the docks on the New York side and slightry damaged the rud- cer. Dut to continrea witnoui re pairs. This lack of care came nearly causing our undoing a few days later. J Gulf Stream Is Relief .When a few miles cut of New York we rnn Into the warm Gulf stream, which melted all the Ice on our decks and made it quite pleas ant, or as nearly plcas-int as pos sible, considering the croT-ded rn dition of the ship. We had "ono soldiers aboard, including 1000 ne groes and were packed in like sar dines in a box. Iron standards were (built in for (bunks and we were packed in four high with aisle, way? not wide enough to pass. To make matters worse we had no lights, and it was as black as ink in the trooj compartment. The guards had or ders to shoot at any light shown on the boat and one could not even light a match for a smoke. All electric pocket lamps and matches were tak en up to make doubly sure." We were now in the snbmar'n area and could not use too much are. Special gnards were placed with orders to watch a certain angle of a few degrees, and in this way every Inch of the water was carefully .og served. The subs were fretting very cunning and had learned to keep their periscopes hid behind the waves in such a way as to be able to se their tarket only when the waves broke. It is easy to see how watch- otor The SuDer-Six 1VI i ...... . .

They have kpt it in that position ever since. ijt t uk not confuse them. i It is not speed; not power, not hill climb ing ability-: -though Hudson holds those stock car records. It is the fact that those records were won through endurance; made possible by a patented motor invented and controlled by Hudson, known as the Super-Six. And those records, after many attempts to match them, still belong to Hudson, be cause tcqual endurance has not been estab lished in any other' car. IS ONLY SUPREME FEATURE EVER CONTROLLED BY ONE MAKER Never bofore has any one car held all the worth while records Never has one car proved supreme in speed, in hill climbing, in flexibility! and in endurance .. NVvrr before has. a major feature been controlled by a s;ngle maker. The Super Six by a ; i:jje iuvention, increased motor power 72 jW cent. No other car has, br can hsvc, until Hudson wills, a motor like the Siier-Six. What maker ca'u approach it in things that count for most? Until Hudson consents to its use by others, men who want such a, great car must choose the Super-Six. IMPROVED THROUGH FOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Since the first Super-Six many advance ments have been made in the Hudson. But the principle by whieh it attained its su premacy remains unchanged. Refinements have been added as the result of experience. The things which Hudson owners had said would make the Super-Six the finest car that is built, are included in the present Hudson. What car has had equal opportunity to do these -things T Before the present model was offered, 60,000 owners of earlier Super vises were influencing its development. SUCH A CAR .IS ALWAYS IN DEMAND Men have long known that to get a Hud son it is necessary to make reservations in advance. On some models and in some sea sons thousands have waited a month or more. No man can drive a Hudson without feeling a growing respect for it. Old models are rctined by owners with an affection equal to that extended toward a faithful ser vant. - Super-Six owners know the real mean ing of motor car satisfaction.

Accident Caii CWfustUtn On-the right of January is w' ran into a very heavy storm which was so violent that our depth dom'i chute, which was located &t the st.-rn of he ship, broke loose and went overboard. The call started as "depth bomb chute overboard." but reached the bridge as "man overboard." The rudder was ordered "hard - a-port" and a life preserver with a light was thrown our to hel pthe supposed un fortunate. The- mistake was soou found, but the damaged ruddei could not be straightened. All the ships lights were not turned on as the captain realized our dangerjud conditfon, but one of our faithful guards followed his orders and be gan shooting at the ship's lights, thinking it was possibly the work of some German aboard intent upon betraying our position ' to the subs. We ran in this helpless condition in a circle for five hours and it seemed a hopeless case. Our oil grap-haired captain gave up and was helped to his cabin, the second In command taking over the ship. The strain on a 700-foot boat when help less in the trough of the sea is tre mendous, and it was quite possible for it to break in two. Xegnx Gamble and Pray The conduct of the men in our compartment was above reproach, each man staying to his bunk and remaining quiet, which was all that could be .expected. But in the ne gro compartment things were doing. Negroes are natural gamblers, but on this occasion they threw away their cards and dice and spent much of their time in prayer. In their panic some piled on top of others till they broke through the canvas bunk four deep and crashed to the deck. It is needless to say that on the following morning they had re collected some of - their dice and were again merrily at the game. They soon forget th,eir good resolu tions. Our, troubles started at 8. in the evening and at 1 c. m. came our worst jolt. We were In the trough of the sea and the ships instruments registered , an angle of 43 degree3 dip, which was more than .oar boat was supposed to stand without go ing over. Our life goats. .6.0 feet in the air. actually dipped water. There we were In the middle of the Atlan tic, with life boats eneough for 1000 of our 5000 men if 60 were crowd ed into a boat, which was possible, and with -absolutely no ercort of any kind. We were alone, and bad we gone down I believe that our fate would have remained a mystery. But !uck was onr wav. and soon after o'clock the . repairs were completed and we were again on our journey. Morale of Whites ' Perfect We steered the southern route, to the coast of Africa, and slipped up the coast to the beautiful harbor of Drest, Frane, where we landed on anuary 23. A couple of days later we were loaded on those crazy little French boxcars which were marked 40 homines, eight chevoux," which means "40 men or eight horses. We were the men. The only case of lack of discipline in my company during the trying i?ht which I have attempted to de scribe was that our our officers. Every one of them deserted his post, which was with his men at such a time, and our commanding officer. never entered our compartment during the entire trip, although the men were much in need of a. word of cheer from their commander. Such action is hard to forgive. Our com plement of non-coms were on the Job, however, and looked after the health and needs of the men. a thing so necessary to discipline and morale. This new Oakland Sensible Six repre sents the most effective combination of high power, light, weight, full comfort and defi nite economy, yet accomplished in a motor car. In it are embodied the ripe experience and the expert manufacturing ability of the eighth largest automobile producer in the world. It is an all-family, all-purpose car sim ple in design, strong in construction, ex ceedingly powerful in action eapable of en during severe and constant daily service with a minimum of wear and upkeep cost; Oakland owners records show for it such economies as from 18 to 25 miles to tbe gallon of gasoline under ordinary driving conditions, and from 8,000 to 12,000 miles from the oversize tires with which it is reg ularly equipped. In all its fundamentals this new Oak land Sensible Six is a continuation of the car upon which Oakland has specialized for two years. Today, not one part or detail of it re mains untried or unproren.

The pagan gods of medi cine were called upon tr heal sick ness, just as the goda of war were appealed to for victory, and the gods of peace for plenty. Medicine be gan to separate from religion as med-' icine became more material and re ligion grew less so. Material medi cine had so developed into a system apart from religion, that when Jesus began his restorative ministry, and healed the sfck by puTely spiritual power, he was termed both by the theologians and the matter physi cians a miracle worker, so unheard of had it become to invoke the heal ing power of God, The only reason mankind has not turned to God. the great physician.

SCIENCE Entitled Christian Science: Its Re storative Ministry, by Jr. John ' L Tntt, C S. D, Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. At the Grand Opera House, Salem. on Thursday evening, the sneaker was introduced by Mrs. Judge Bur nett, who said: The Christian Science movement. through its church services, reading rooms, lectures, practitioners, teach ers, and literature, enable us to understand the truth about God. and man's relation to God. This truth. properly understood, will enable one to heal the sick, and to destroy sin The desire of the .world is for a religion of love. The stu dents who have given time and thought to tbe study of Christian Sciencee, find this religion, and the peace that passeth understanding. We read in Isaiah 26:3: 'Thou wilt keep him In perfect peace, whose mind Is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.' As we practice and live Christian Science we realize that God's law is ever operative and good Is continually flowing from God to man. I am glad of this oppor tunity, to stand before this audience of friends, and introduce- to you one who comes with a message of peace, to each receptive thought. Dr. John M. Tntt, C.

Tbe rniversal Panacea If each individual in this audience were asked to give a reason. for hie presence here, no doubt it would te possible to classify the replies under two great heads religion and medi cine. These may be said to be the paramount human interests, for sec ond only to a future salvation, man kind is concerned in the preserva tion of his gody. Christian Selene r--s amulet mated these interests so that, rightly -viewed, religion and medicine become one; and .sfnee Christian Science, in its saving and healing grace. Is applicable to all manner of discords, physical, men tal and moral, it may be termed tho Because of the seeming Increasing power of false material education, mankind has been unable to grasp the simplicity and adequacy of the spiritual laws of God applied to the discords of the flesh. Jesus knew these laws employed them, and laid upon all Christians the Injunction t6 Imitate his healing works. It may. be argued that Jesus conferred the power to heal upon his contemporary disciples only. Yet he said unequivocally: These signs shall follow them that be lieve." Bat. if the . contention - Im true, how did Paul, who was not Jesus' Immediate disciple, acquire the art of Christian healing? .It must be admitted that .Paul used none but spiritual power in his re storative ministry. The Master, al luding, to his divine Principle. the healing and saving Christ said: "Lvi! I am wtth you aiwa." This Christ was available to Paul and be rose In spiritual consciousness to the realization of it. The power of God to heal 'and to save,, so wondrously present with Jesus, and with the early Christians for 300 years. Is available to all today, and when un derstood and employed. In 'Jesus' way, becomes the .witness of "Christ In you; the hope of glory." Incidentally; every res-air we aaake o yovr better? mrrtea ear S-eieaths' faarsete. 1. , L BATTER!
