"Ho territory must change hands except for the purpose of securing for those who Inhabit it a fair chance of life and liberty." says the communi? cation. "No Indemnities must be Insisted on except those that constitute payment for manifest wrongs done. "Me readjustments of power must he made except such as will tend to se? cure the future peace of the world and the future welfare und happiness af Ita people." In unmistakable terms President Wilson declares against Germany's proposals to restore the "status quo" before the war. "It was the status quo ante out of which thlt Iniquitous war Issued forth." he says. "The power of the miperlal German government within empire and its widespread doml and Influence outside'of that plra. The president's communication wae Ivered to the Russian government Ambassador Francis, at Petrograd, full. It rends as follows: 'In view of the approaching visit of American delegation to Russia to twees the doep friendship of the American people for the people of Russia and to discuss the best and most practical means of cooperation between the two peoples In carrying the present struggle for the freedom of all peoples to x successful consum? mation, it seems opportune and ap? propriate that 1 ? hould state again m the light of tht< new partnership the, objects the United States has hud in mind In enterinff trie war. Those ob? jects have beer? very .much becloud? ed during the past few weeks by mta trken and misleading statements and the Issues st stake are too numerous, tt-o tremendous, too significant for the. a hole human race to permit any mis? interpretation or misunderstanding, however slight, to remain uncorrecteJ for a moment. "The war bus begun to go against Germany and In their desperate do sire to escape Inevitable defeat those who are In authority in Germany are using every possible Instrumentality, are making use even of the Influence of group* and parties among their own"*subjects to whom they have raver been Just or fair, or even toler? ant, to promote a propaganda on both sides of the eea which will preserve for them their Influence at home and their power abroad, to the undoing of very men they are using "The position of Amerlcu in this fcr Is so clearly avowed that no can bo excused for mistaking It She seeks no material profit or ag? grandisement of any kind. She is fighting for no advantage or selfish object of her own, but for the lib? eration of peoples everywhere from the ssjgrcnslon of autocrutic force. The ruling clusses In Germany have begun of late to profess a like lib? erality and Justice of purpose hut only to preeerve the power tiey have set up In Germany and tho selfish ud vanr.?gcw which they have wrongly gained for themselves, und tieir pri? vate projects of power all the way from Berlin to fhtgdud and beyond. "Qoveriumeit after government b is by their Influence, without open con? quest of its territory, been linked to? gether In a net of intrigue directed aaalnnt nothing less than the peace ?ri*t liberty of the world. Th ? meshes of that intrigue must he broken, but cannot be broken unless wrongs al? ready done are undone, and adequate measures must be taken to prevent it from ever again being rewoven or repaired. "Of course, the linoprinl German government und those whom it Is using for their own undoing ire seek Ing to obtain pledges that the war will end In tho restoration of the status quo ante. It was the status quo ante out of which this iniquitous war Issued fortS, the power of the Imperial German government within the empire ami its widespread domi? nation and influence, outside of that empire. That stutus must be altcrod In such fashion as to prevent an\ such hideous thing from ever happen? ing again. "We are fighting for tin liberty, th' self-government md the undht.it <l development of all peoples ami ever> fr?*ure of the settlement that eon dudes this war must be conceive l and executed for that purpose.

Practical ques? tions can he settled only by practical means. Phrases will not accomplish J the result. Effective readjustments! will, ahd whatever readjustments are j necessary must be made. "Bill they must follow a principle and that principle is plain. No peo? ple must be forced under sovereignty under which it does not wish to live. No territory must change hands, ex eept for the purpose of securing those who inhabit It a fair chance of life and liberty. No indemnities must be insisted upon, except those that con? stitute payment for manifest wrong done. No readjustments of power to secure the future ponce of the world and the future welfare and happiness of its peoples. "And then tho free peoples of the world must draw together in some common covenant, some genuine and practical cooperation that will in ef? fect combine their force to secure peace and justice In the dealings of nations with one another. The broth? erhood of mankind must no longer be ? fair but empty phrase; It must be given a structure of force and real? ity. The nations must realize their j common life and effect n workable ! partnership to secure that life against the aggressions of autocratic ami ?eil- I pleasing power. "For these things we can afford to pour out blood and treasure. For fiese are the things we have always profossed to desire and unless wc* jKJiir out blood and treasure and now succeed, we may never be able to unite or show conquering force again , in the great cause of human liberty. | The day has come to conquer or sub? mit. If the forces of autocracy can divide us, they will overcome us; if we stand together, victory is certain and the liberty which victory will se? cure. We can afford then to he gen- | erous, but we cannot afford then 01 J now to be weak or omit any single! guarantee of justice and security." DISTURBANCE IN IRELAND.

HARTSVILLE LEADS IN BOND PIHCHASE. Oversubscribes Allotment live Times ?Town's Total $10:1,500. Hartsvllle, Juno 9.?An oversub? scription oC more thail Jive times Hartsville's apportionment of Liberty bondfl was made known tonight when Chairman A. L% If. Wiggins of the Liberty bond committee announced that Hartsville's total subscriptions to date amounted to $103,500. Harts? ville's apportionment! us fixed under the federal reserve hank rules at $1G,000, less than one-sixth the amount already subscribed. A vigorous selling campaign, coupled with a liberal and patriotic response by people of all classes, made possible this large oversubscription. Twenty-eight out of 34 white employes of one firm here subscribed to bonds of from $50 to $200 each and two negro employes bought $50 bonds each. Twenty-four operatives in one of the local factories bought $1,600 worth of bonds, several purchaser} being women and children. In many cases employes are buying $50 bonds by paying $1 a week and the employ ers are financing tho bond without any interest charge. The campaign will he renewed Monday morning and all slackers are to he rounded up. "Not how much, but a bond for everybody" is the slogan of the com? mittee. The goal now set by the committee is $112,000, an amount equal to the apportionment for every day of the week. INSURANCE RESERVES LIABLE. Supreme Court Dcekles That Taxes Must be Paid on Reserve Funds. Washington, June 11.?A very large annual loss in federal income tax revenue from insurance companies and treasury refunds of scve;"al mil? lion! dollars! alrdady collected were prevented by a supreme court de? cision in favor of the government in the test suit of Insurance Company of North America, Philadelphia. The fire insurance company's reserve for unpaid losses and claims are subject ! to taxation the supreme court dccid I ed. Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

A Car Whose Quality Lifts It Above the Level of Its Price Since the early days of the automobile industry people have been accus? tomed to cluss cars by price. Rightly or wrongly, they have mainly clung to the belief that cars of near? ly equal cost closely compared in quality, too. It is as true today as ever. Save In one caBe. Anc? this is the ex? ception that proves the rule. Though priced at lesu than $1,000 Saxon "Six" has forced?aetuully compelled ? people to think of it in the terms of costly oars. Such a situation Is unprecedented. No other car we know of has ever ac? complished this feat. Oil you think of any car in any oth? er price class whoso superiority is as distinct and pronounced as that of Saxon "8lx" among cars costing less than $1,200? The answer of course si In the motor ?the famous Saxon "Six" high speed motor. Its performance today is probably as nearly perfect as has ever been at? tained. In high-gear work, in pulling power, in smoothness, in flexibility, Saxon "Six" gives a performance that seems incredible in a car from the lcss-thau-$ 1,200 class. If you search for specific reasons for this superiority of Saxon "Six" you can lind them most quickly through comparison with other cars of like price. Consider if you will a certain ca 1 of "lcss-tban-six-cylinders" of similar price and good reputation. At a speed of twenty miles per hour this "les.s--than-six" under test de? veloped 1512.78 powei Impulses per minute. Saxon "Six" showed 2993.925 impulses per minute. Or, under the same working conditions the Saxon "Six" motor showed nearly 9S per cent, greater continu? ity?greater smoothness ? greater uniformity of torque. It is quickly apparent that the "lees than-six" motor leaves much to he desired. For the less the number of impulses per minute the less smooth is the power-flow and the greater is the vibration. And vibration Induces friction whlcls is, as of course you know, the fierc? est foe a motor car has to face. Now you will see just how much ad? vantage accrues from the 98 per cent, smoother power-flow of Sax? on "Six." - Seocon "Six" A Big Touring Car for Five People This well-known car of less-than-slx cyl Inders previously mentioned, in repeated trials required 30 seconds to reach a 45 miles per hour speed from a stock still stand. Under the same conditions Saxon "Six" time and again duplicated this feat in 23 seconds. This shows 22 per cent, faster pick-up in favor of Saxon "Six." A hill-climb test illustrates what this smoother power-flow means in de? veloping greater pulling power. This "less-than-six"?shifting gears once?climbed a mile-long hill in 2 minutes flat. Saxon "Six"?without shifting gears ?did it in 1 minute and 2 seconds. These instances are not cited as ex? traordinary performances of Saxon "Six." Nor are you to view them as such. For they are not. Rather are they representative of the type of performance Saxon "Six" gives. And they picture, with fairness we be? lieve, the inherent superiority of Saxon "Six" over any other at less than $1,200. t;axon "Six" is $865; "Six" Sedan. $1. 250; "Four" Roadster, $495; f. o. b.
