BBERLIN, November. 8,—Indignation was once arouséd ‘Iin Imperial Ger- many because an East Prissian junk- er declared ina reichstag session that « lleutenant and ten soldlers would suffice to clean out the relchstag and abolish all parlamentary nonsense. = “ - we have acquired what fs boastfully terined “the world's ire. sepuolic.” But what occurs in republic, which will be only five vears old November 9, but which al- ready is so eaten by the cancer of mendacity that it looks like a mori- bund old man? - A government which had three so- clalist ministers at that time gives its military minister dictatorisl and | sXecutive powers and deposes_the le- gally clected government of Baxony. 'he’ general who was sent to Saxony forbids the Saxon parllament to as- semble, marches hiw. troops before the parliamet - buflding, and “pro- tects” it with emplaced machine guns. A *enant with four. armed men nters each minister's room ana ders him to leave. the bullding. Occutrance at Dresden. This happened at Dresden on, Octo- ber 29. Every fair-minded man must admit that it would have been im- possible under an empire, just as all the other ' countless violations of right, which “the world's freest re- public” permits, would have been impossible. The pretext for these scandalous proceedings was the unimportant fact that a legally chosen communist minister had talked in. the same manner as he talked when he was only a private agitator. = This communist minister's of thought may be inconceivable for Americans. But one regards men and things differently in the land where a Herr Ebert, decades &lorified “international revolutionary soclalism,” now—looking. very neat und prim enthroned as president— drips with national patriotism, fights | with his tongue for ‘“peace and order,” and surpasses Russia’s last three tzars for exceptional laws and draconic edicts. In Saxony, the food shortage and the military dictatorship ~ have aroused the proletarian masses to un- rest and anger. . . > Asylum .for Momarchists. And slongside Saxony is Bavaria, where Dictator von Kahr openly re- sigts the national government, where the constitution is openly abused and where the mutiny of the monarchist | general, Von Lassow, and his divisfon of the reichswehr is pardoned and | sanctioned. Bavaria s not merely ‘an | asylum for all monarchist criminals. Tt is,also a garrison for all illegal troopd formations which, equipped with artillery, mine throwers and airplane squadrons, have been stand- ing along the Thuringian-Saxony frontler for weeks, in active con- mection with the Dolice and |the 2. habits | purchasing company having been SALE OF RAIL STOCK DURING WAR UPHELD United« Cigarette Machine Com- ragy Awarded 1,300 Shares of Canadian Pacific.: Special Dispatch to The Star, LYNCHBURG.

J. G. VINCENT Vice Pres. of Engineering Packard Motor Car Co. “Lubricating the chassis is a job that irequently ought to be done }nst when the vehicle is required and hence it is often neglected. “The owner who commits himseli to a regular lubrication schedule or program has very definite insurance against later mechanical neglect, “Buying lubrication by the mile relieves the owner and driver of worry, saves time and annoyance.” —_— As preventive attention has always been more economical than corrective repair the mechanical and lubricating service described herein is devised to insure at a definitely fixed and moderate cost practically uninterrupted service of your Packard for its first twenty thousand miles. It is our opinion thz! within a few years every high-grade automo.ile sold will carry insurance which will protect its purchaser against the cost and delay of unwarranted re- pairs or replacements. Packards, by design, construction and eco- nomical performance, are, we believe, the first high-grade car manufactured that makes possible the offer of such insurance. With your co-operation we will insure your Packard as described, add years to its life, in- crease its resale value, multiply its hours of comfortable utility, and make it possible for you to definitely know how little it will cost you to maintain a Packard.
