55 per cent of the output of the seven big Maxwell
plants is war work! '
Every one of those plants is doing its patriotic
duty 100 per cent.
. We are frank to say we believe that is equally
true of our competitors we have yet to learn of
a single shirker in this industry.
If there is anything more Uncle Sam desires done,
we will tackle that too.
Meantime, and for the very reasons set forth above,
we deplore the loose statements of panic-preaching
publicists throughout the country.
These would close down the third largest industry
in America on the grounds that it is a "non essen
tial" industry.
No other industry is doing so much outside its
regular sphere doing it so willingly, doing it so
rapidly and doing it so honestly as is this very
motor car industry.
For a ship builJer to make a few more ships; or
for an ordnance plant to make more guns is only to
develop their normal business.
But for a motor car factory to make ship3 entire
and in part and guns and shells and fuses
and caterpillar tractors and mine anchors and
airplane motors, wings and other parts that is
doing things.
This industry is doing all that and more.
Detroit, the very center of the motor car industry
an inland city and one where, in normal times,
we had no war industry now is doing more war
work than any other city iixAmerica.
And in our regular line we are also helping more
than any other class of business men to solve the
transportation problems at home and abroad for
we not only transport a very laTge percentage of
our own raw material and finished product on its
own wheels, but every truck yes, and every pas
senger car too helps by thousands of tons per
year in carrying, formerly done by the railroads.
Loose talk is harmful at any time it is particularly
serious just now.
Let other industries do their part do a tithe of
what the motor car industry is doing and they
will be going some.
Meantime your own transportation problem, ac
centuated as it is- by the war activities and the
war prosperity of the country, can best be "solved
by an efficient, economical, reliable Maxwell
Motor Truck.

Tells Story Of German Occu

By Frank J. Taylor
(United Press staff correspondent)
Chateau-Thierry, July 22. (Night)
"Ah, les Americaines! They are fine
boys, biave. When we rebuild our city
it will always1 be a home to Americaina
We will bs iproud to make them wel-
leome. "
Thus soohe aged Leon Toison, a conn
cilnian of Chat eau-Thierry who refused
to oavi; t'"v;? whlf1' the Gi:'iu'l
captured it. Although Toison is
i .,
years old, he took chargo of tho city
artairs and assisted in every way pos
sible the "two hundred" as the surviv
ors of six weeks cf boche domination
are known.
' 1 interviewed Toison this afternoon.
He is a small man, slightly bent but
vigorous innd bTight eyed. We stood
among the battered ruins along the
main street. Not a building left stand
ing was uihaibitaiblj here. We were be
side a barricade erected by the Ger
mans wi.o had used boxes, earth, refuse
of all kinds and ccbble stones, torn
from the street.
"When ths Oeinns were coming
we are advised to flee at once, but 1
couldn't .bring myself ito do it," said
Toison. "I've seen Chateau-Thierry
ruptured by the Germans three time
The first was in 1870. I wa wounded
during the fighting then. Tho next
wes in 1914, the first invasion of this
war. The last was six weeks ago.
"Most of the others evacuated but
the 'two hundred' decided to stay;
Many of the old folks would have been
unable to leave anyway. There were
alwut a dozen children and a few mid
dle aged people, but most were pret
ty old.
'During the bombardment we lived
in caves and cellars without having
enough to eat and without knowing
whero to got any. We were b;'"'',d up
by the hope that Chateau-1 merry again
would bo French.
"Meantime our houses were crumb
ling over us. The Germans ordered us
to stay in our cellars except when vyc
were permitted .to leave. Not having
sufficient food themselves, they order
ed the old men out every day to bring
in vege lablcs trom the fields behind
the German linos. Then the soldiers
would come and take away practically
all 'we brought in.
' ' We had no bread, no fats, no wines
and were strugejing to live on the few
veTeliables the Germans' left us. The
Germans did not abuse us, except by
taking everything they wanted without
paying a fiugle sou and by carrying
off everything they fancied.
"1 was unable to estimate .the nuin
'ber of Germans in Chateau-Thierry,
owing to the restrictions which did
not ipermit us to move about much
Everything' was 'verboten.'
"Many of the older people wero fee
ble and sick. The rest sought to assist
them, but could not do much, through
having no food. Finally we obtained a
little, of the Germans' black bread. It
was as hard as wood.
" It waj a miracle that all of us liv
ed .through the si weeks of German
control, with shells bursting every
where buildings tumbling down and
Genr-ans, officers and nien alike, tak
ing oiir food,
'Finallv, on Saturday evening. th
Germans ordered all the inhabitants In
to the cathedral. Wo crouched there,
fearing a big she'! might end us all-
We even ntiicipo.tcd being ehot, since
the Germans continually are suspicious
of us old folks. We did not lear death,
but trembled for the children.
"Karly Sunday morning our sol
diers arrived. We then got the first
ivews of Ainerieain their fighting,
how they forced the Germans backward
"When the first Americain soldiers
arrived everybody could not help go
ing wild and shaking hands with the
fine boys. We kissed them, too, for
are they not our grand children also!"
Two old women, tottering down the
main street enjoying the first fresh air
they had breathed in six weeks, pauwd
and wept over the scrambled ruins of
buildings and trees. Even the cathe
dral is full of holci and probably can
not be repaired.

After nearly a year's investigation,

It is up to the board to decide whether

First Step Will Be Armed Oc
cupation of Vladivostok
As Operating Base
By Robert J. Bender
(United Press staff correspondent)
Washington, July 23. Allied action
in Siberia impends.
President Wilson has completed an
announcement which will set-' forth to
tho world tho program of aid for Rus
sia, assuring the Russians and all peo
ples that ours is not a policy of ag
giandizement or aggression. Its issu
ance awaits ouly receipt of tho formal
aecep:ance, iby Japan of tho interna
tional proposition. This is expected
hourly.
Tho first step of the allies will be
to occupy Vladivostok with troops.
With this base definitely under al
lied protection the danger of armed
German forces becoming a greater men
ace in Siberia, will be countered.
Tho action is not "intervention." It
is the foundation work for tho eco
nomic assistance which is to follow.
President Wiljon will outline speci
fically tho whole proposed course of
action and its purposes. His declara
tion will be spread broadcast through
all countries of the world to offset any
effot by Germany to spread the, false
rumor that the allies are aggressively
acting against Russia.
A force of trained newspaper men
will be sent into Siberia to establish
contact with Russians and disseminate
the news of America's program of as
sislanco for the .people.
Action now is regaded as timely.
The Czechoslovak forces have "cut
tho ice" in Siberia. The people of that
part of Russia are friendly.

ment cannot be judged as if it were
a major offensive. It is, therefore, per
fectly in accord with every technical
consideration for General Foeh to con
serve his own armies in face of the con
tinual arrival of fresh German reserv
es south of the Aisne. The interruption
of Von Hindenburg 's supply system is
exerting inexorable pressure upon the
Germans'. This work, however, is slow.
The same resut would be accomplished
more rapidly by uninterrupted French
and American attacks. These assaults,
however, would certainly cause very
heavy allied casualties which is con- .
trary to General Foch s present prin
ciples.
Von Hindenburg 's strategic plans for
further offensives have been complete
ly demoralized by tho French and 'Am
ericans during the last six days. Thki
is a Mifficient result for the immed
iate future. It is certain that Von Hin

assaults at this time. General Foch is
by temperament and training an of-
feusive fighter. Defensive warfare is
abhorrent to him. A leader with this
characteristic, but with less far-seeing
wisdom than General Foch. might have
been influenced by the early success
ofthe Marne fighting to become deep
ly involved. General Foch knows how
to wait. That is the best assurance of
final success of the allied cause.
