NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1916. Reo the Fifth Must Be a Wonderful Automobile WHEN YOU CONSIDER that Reo the Fifth is today the oldest chassis on the American market,and there- fore in the world—and that this car has outlived scores of cars that tried to compete with it in that most popular ‘‘thousand dollar you will agree that this must be a truly wonderful motor class,” car. sailed any model. parts. BUT that kind to it. | 4 i FOR NOW FIVE YEARS—this is the sixth season—Reo the Fifth has held first place in the esteem of buyers and users against the most terrific competition that ever as- NOT ALONE HAS IT CON- TENDED against other successful makes — always maintaining its lead—but it has withstood that wickedest of all competition—the failure—the car originally priced several hundred dollars higher but which, its makers bankrupt, was finally thrown on the market at a price lower than Reo the Fifth. STRANGE THAT ANYONE would buy such a car—no factory behind it; no one to make good the guar- antee; nowisere to get replacement THEY DO — the hunters”’—and we in the automo- bile business have learned to dread of competition—just because chere is so little substance E. C. DENISON (GARAGEF) 430 Main St. b i BUT REO THE FIFTH has with- stood many such storms and always came out with flying colors. THEN THERE WERE THOSE FLURRIES occasioned by new makers jumping into the arena, or old makers projecting new and sensationalmodels in frantic efforts to stem the tide of Reo the Fifth popularity—and still the great model triumphed. MUST BE A GREAT CAR-—must be—and it is. NOT ONLY IS IT made of the best materials known to science; not only is it the product of the great- est corps of mechanics and the best equipped factory; but it has proved to be the simplest car to operate; the most accessible and the lowest in maintenance cost—and these combined account for its suprem- acy—the invincibility of Reo the Fifth. PRICE OF THE LATEST model— same famous chassis, but refined and improved wherever that could be done—is $875. ONLY PROBLEM that confronts you and us is—how to get one. Demand is tremendous—many times the capacity of the big Reo plants. ONLY WAY is to order now— immediately—and get a definite delivery date as soon as may be— we’ll tell you just about what date you may expect your Reo the Fifth, “bargain D fl\e Flftl\ f] 0, m]é ('l By DOROTHY CLARKE January 22d I met the most charming English girl at a tea this afternoon.

The affair took place at “Castles in the Air” and began at 8 o’clock. It was an “Old-Time Frolic” and brought back memories of festivities of the sort incidental] to other years of Wall street’s prosperity. The en- tertainment consisted of violin selec- tions by Fritz Kreisler and an exhi- bition of wrestling by the *“Masked Marvel.” Skater from the Hippo- drome also appeared and moving pic- tures of the war in France were shown. There were, however, no moving pictures of war babies.

DEATHTO AMERICAN SAY MEXIGAN REBELS Will War to.a Finish Against Garranza 22.—Death to and destruction Washington, Jan. Americans in Mexico l'of their property, as well as war to a finish against Carranza was deter- mined upon, it hecame known here last night. atha formal convention of Mexican revolutionary leaders held in November at a: ranch near Cordoba Present and joining in the agree- ment are shid to have been repre- sentatives of Villa, Zapata, Argumedo, Higinio agiilar, the Cedillo brothers and fhany lesser chieftains. Meager reports of this gathering cameo the state department long ago but they were not made public, and until last night few people in Wash- ington knew that there was a general conspiracy against americans, or even that the various rebel faction in the field in Mexico had effected any kind of an agreement for concerted activities against the de facto govern- ment. Rebel Convention Order, The recent massacre at Santa Ysabel, attributed to bandits led by Villa officers, is believed to have been perpetrated in accordance with the rebel convention order. Officials think the long period elapsed after the Cordoba meeting before the murders because of the time required by the various delegates to make reports to their commanders, and the fact that news of the convention’s decision had to be carried to subordinate military commanders by courier. Cordoba is on the railroad between Vera Cruz and Mexico City, and about 1,000 miles from Santa Ysabel. The Carranza authorities have been fully advised concerning the move- ments of the rebels, and have been depended upon by the Washington government to take every possible pre- caution to prevent the threats against Americans from being carried out. They are believed to have the situation fairly well in hand now, although the chiefs whose delegates met at Cor- doba. still are in the field, operating more or less openly. Soon after Carranza was recognized, the state department withdrew its consular officers from northern Mexi- co and reiterated its warning to Americans to leave. Only by getting citizens of the United States away from territory not fully controlled by the facto government. it was realized could, there be any real assurance of safety. Few Details Known. Few details of the Cordoba conven- tion are known, but according to the reports, it lasted for several days and some of the earlier arrivals awaited probably weeks for all the delegates | to app Apparently, the call for | the meeting sent out as soon as it { became certain the United States was about to recognize Carranza, although [ it was a month after recognition ac- tually had been accorded before tha delegates got together. At that timo large forces of Villa and Zapata forces were operating near Mexico City to as- were operating in the neighborhood of the railroads near mexico City in assemble and do its work with com- parative safety from interruptior. Whether there is any great proba bility of continued concert of action among the factions fighting Carranza, officials here do not profess to know. was indicate that money may be forth- coming to finance a revolution on a considerable scale with the sope of enlisting the support of all the rebels, but officials last night, said there were no reports to show that such a move- ment actually was under way.

The news- paper is quoted as adding that Bel- gium until now has been considered by the German chancellor as an ob- ject of exchange and that sensible Belgians ought to be told not to wait to long or Belgium will be considered as a good prize.

Paris, Jan. 21, 6:30 p, m.—What has been alluded to in certain French newspapers as the “Aviation crisis,” was ended today by a reassuring statement made by Premier Briand in the chamber of deputies.
