Austrian confederation promised, eonie,T1 horsci and cattle are fine, fat and too l b Representatives of the submerged groups said today that the old monarchy of the Hapsburgs must and will be de stroyed. As proof of its destined disin flation, they pointed to tire Czecho slovak "declaration of independence" just issued here, wherein they proclaim a Czeco-Slovak democracy and refuse to remain a part of Austria longer, Allied successes, It is held, assure the fruion of this plan. Czeco-Slovak leaders say the begin ning of tho end has come for Austro Hungary. . . Duplicity was seen in Emperor. Charles' announcement that he would form a confederation of Austrian natio nalities, a proposal which is quite at variance with President Wilson '9 prin ciple of complete freedom for subject nationalities, which Austria's last no 0 professed to accept . .The Czecho-Slovak declaration of in dependence was handed to President Wilson only a few hour, after press dis patches reported Emperor Charles' man if Oslo announcing his in ten. (ion to form an Austrian confederation and to grant local autonomy to all subejet na tionalities. The declaraion, signed by Professor T. O. Masaryk, prime minister of the provisional Czecho-Slovak governmenf, points to a probable federation of the smaller European nations after they have won freedom from Austria. "We consider freedom to be tho first prerequisite for federalization and be lieve that the free nations of central and Eastern Europe may easily federate should they find it necessary", the de claration stated. v .

Instead of .he grand rush of buying beginning about the first of December it is thought that by offering a com plete linos of thtir holiday presents so early in the season, that people will bo gin a4 once and moke their selections. As this is- a military year. ihis early showing is of special advantage a3 the ordor has btn issued that no Christ mas presents will be mailed to the sold iers across the water after Nov. 15.

About the same time we received an order for batteries for Truck Service, ; which were required to stand the severe tests and rough usage given the trucks in France. For this purpose the STR battery was furnished, which also had threaded rubber insulation and shipment was made bone-dry. These two types were the first to be put into service by the War Department. 1 Just in the same" way that Willard batteries with Threaded Rubber insu- lation have given exceptional service on pleasure cars, so have these two types' given univrsal satisfaction to the War Department. Since receiving our first government orders there have been many new re quirements for batteries. These orders have included batteries for practically, every phase of our war program. The direct government demands ma.de upon us for immediate shipment have now become so great that our capacity has 'been taxed to furnish the government with sufficient "Still Better WiUard Batteries." Steps to increase our facilities have been taken, but we did not receive advance notice which1 would justify our making these arrangements before actually receiving the orders. Here is one more opportunity to make a sacrifice by giving our best to the . government. We know that we have vour suDDort in this matter and that von will cheerfully do without the "Still Better Willard Battery" when it is absolutely neces sary, and will explain the situation to your customers when they ask you'for this impro.ved type. V; : x . ' ... ', , '., - :'; We are substituting onf.the balance of your. Second Quarter orders and on all of your Third Quarter orders when we find it absolutely necessary to do so. Rest assured we will furnish batteries with threaded rubber insulation wherever it is )ossiMe, but where we do not have threaded rubber insulators we will substitute latteries with wood insulation. We believe you would prefer to accept wood insu- " ated batteries now, rather than carry a reduced stock on account of postponing -shipment on these threaded rubber types. - These batteries will be dumped and shipped in export condition, which will insure to a very great extent against depreciation. Each battery so treated will have an export tag explaining method of preparing for service. ' 4 ;..'
