1 ne rapidity wun which rresidcnt Mlson Has un
folded his program of world policies since launching the
nation in the maelstrom ot the huropean conflict, the im
mensity of the war plans he has outlined, the magnitude
of the efforts he litis called for as the country's share in
the struggle for the preservation of democracy, has taken
the breath of the politicians and stupefied congress. As
a msiilt, however, we see congress unable to realize that
(lie nation is at war, unwilling to follow the president's
lead, and haggling over trifles and politics as the danger
to nation and allies hourly grows, hvery moment that
congress wastes in needless discussions, delays the war
just that much longer.
One of the reasons advanced in the senate for refusing
to pass some of the measures the president has declared
essential, measures drafted upon the experiences of Euro
pean belligerents and approved by allied representatives,
was that the president had neglected to ask some of the
senators to fit lend (he while lionise reception to (Jeneral
J off re 'f Which indicates plainly the character of some of
our statesmen.
AVhile congress has talked, the president has formulat
ed, with the assistance of manv national boards, complete
programs for financing the war, for imperative increases
in army, navy and shipping, for controlling food supply,
tor increasing munition uiauing and tlie co-ordinatioirand
mobilization of industry. These programs have all been
presented to congress, but final action still awaits the
waste ol words.
An far as executive action can go, the United' States is
co-operating fully in every way with the allies. We arc
represented in the war council of Europe and their war
missions are in daily consultation here. An army is in
preparation for the trenches of France. Preparations are
under way for combatting the submarine menace. The ship
yards of the nation are at work to make good U-boat de
struction and a campaign has been launched for increasing
food production. A mission is being sent, to assist democ
racy upbuild Russia. Only congress dallies with vital is
sues us the golden moments fly.
The war is a national, not a partisan affair. Congress
accuses the president of not taking its members into con
fidence. Why should he, when his plans find the nation's
plans are betrayed by them, Why should he, when the
leading members ol both parties have injected petty poli
tics into matters of international import? How can he
when the leading member of his own party, who head
important committees, have neither breadth'of vision or
patriotism enough to support administration measures.
The United States is to strike, and strike hard, if the
administration plains are carried out. The object sought
is world democracy and permanent peace by the elimina
tion of autocracy. The war is destroviinr old world nolit ics
and new world polities will henceforth control
The entrance of the I'nitcd States into the war marked
a decisive hour in the history of the human race its ob
ject is to prevent a reversion to barbarism by insuring the
progress of civilization. And it was due to the realization
of the fact that civilization itself was in peril, that caused
the president to alter the nation's historic course, and for
iill time its traditional policy of isolation, and become a
controlling factor in the life of the world.
A time of emergency is no time to ipiibble about trifles.
A fire department cannot consult ordinances and the
I'nitcd States, in endeavoring to save civilization, cannot
fritter away the precious minutes in consulting precedents
or airing petty persoiialit ies of politicians. The war must
be brought to a victorious finish, lest militarism and kai
sorisui survive to endanger present day civilization bv
decay as militarism and Caesarisni rotted the civilization
of the Roman empire.

The , Real Greatness of the
Is in Its Perfected Mechanism
Ivlechanical perfection has made the Maxwell endurance champion of the world the
most economical car to run a source of complete satisfaction to 200,000 Maxwell Owners.
Let', comidor the Maxwell firat a, a pieco of machinery,
for that', what a real automobile i, a machine.
Fancy uphoUtery, enamel, a highly polithed instrument
board are excellent thing,,
i-but thay don't make a great motor car.
Tbi, marvelous motor i, daily taking Maxwell, over ten, of
thouiandi of mile, of the hardest sort of going at an average
cot of only $6 to $8 a month.
One of the,e Maxwell engines just like the one your

The Maxwell has grace of form and line travels easily ) J
is roomy and comfortable,
a novice knows that ifa obvious,
like the foundations of
a novice Knows wi . ""'"
But, let us pick tlie car to pieces and aes what you actually ..
j;ot for your money.
The Sturdy, Masterful Chassis
In the first place, there is one and onl one Maxwell
chassis,
nnd that choisis not an experiment,
-j-not the whim of ,ome designer who craves a reputatloq
to ba different or original.
Nobody is permitted to tinker with that one Maxwell model,
no smart ideas are allowed to swerve it from its course
of development, refinement, perfection along the known, proved, .
time-tried principles of automobile construction.
The Maxwell Engine is the Embodiment pf.
Efficiency and Power
The Maxwell engine is the concrete manifestation of effi.
cioncy and power brought up to an almost unbelievable point
of perfection.
It has much of the velvety smoothness characteristic of the
motors in high-priced car,,
plu, power, economy, reliability and simplicity, '
Some Other Mechanical Factors That Make
the Maxwell Great
The Maxwell axles stand up
, nighty sky-scraper,
' they are designed, forged, heat-treated and built Com
plete in our own factories.
The Maxwell transmission noiseless, self-Iubricoiir.z.
(rouble-proof is the height of mechanical sanity and surety.
The marvelous Maxwell clutch running in oil, simpla.
smooth, wear-proof has an efficiency greater than that of any
other car, no matter how high-priced.
Besides each part of the Maxwell chassis is made of only
he finest metal that can be procured, ' '
and then only after the material has been subjected to
the most rigid tests known to science.
Buy the Car That Stands the Test
Don't buy a car on looks, but find out just what is inside H
- if tlie vital parts of the car are mechanically right.
The more you study the Maxwell the more certain you .dll
be, an we are, that the Maxwell is the world's greatest motor
cor value.
Come to our sales rooms and let us prove to you that the
Maxwell is mechanically right.
