Anncuncement .-_by___ TieCohenMotorCompany Owing to false and persistent rumors, the Cohen Metor Company feels itself in dut; bound, in fair- ness to its patrons and in justice tg itseif, to make the following statement of fact The distributor for the Olds Motor Works, in this..section .of the country,.is.the Cutting-Larson Co. of New York. Their contract with the Olds Motor Works requires them to take a certain nuw- ber of Oldsmobiles each month. One of the duties of the Cutting-Larson Company is to clese its terri- tory; that is, to place Oldsmobile dealers in such loca- tions as they think will best promote the interests of the Olds Motor Works and of the Oldsmobile. They, in turn, require these dealers to take a certain number of Oldsmobiles each month. On December 9th, 1918 the Cutting-Larson Co. and the Cohen Motor Company entered an agree- ment whereby the city of New Britain and certain ad- jacent territory was assigned to the Cohen Motor Company, in which to sell Oldsmobiles. By this agreement the Cohen Motor Company agreed to take a certain number of Oldsmobiles each month] up to July 1st, 1919, this number being the propor- tionate amount of cars that territory of this popula- tion should absorb. Due to the fact that the Oids Motor Works has by twenty-one years of honest in- dustry made the Oldsmobile a machine of true and exceptional worth, the demand has far outstripped the production. ' Up to April 21st the Cutting-Larson Company had not only taken the required number of Oldsmo- biles, but had, in fact, exceeded the allotment by 239 cars. On May 1st the sales department of the Olds Motor Works will allot o Oldsmobile distributers an additional number of cars. These the distributors will, in turn, assign to their dealers and agents. There- fore, beginning about May 16th, when shipments may be expected to arrive, the Cohen Motor Company will be in a position to fill all orders for cars. The rumor has further heen circulated to the ef- fect that the Olds Motor Works has stopped the manufacture of its present models, and has called in all that have been sold. This is absolutely false, and without foundation in fact. So much so indeed that since the Olds Motor Works began the manufacture of its present models, two other autombile com- panies have adopted the same features that these rumors deride. The present production of these models is one hundred and fifty a day. Upon due consideration of all the facts and cir- cumstances surrounding this unusual situation, the Cohen Motor Crmpany has come to the conclusion that for once and for all it is essential that thesec rumors be ‘rooted out and blasted at their source. To that end we have instituted such legal proceedings as we’ believe necessary to accomplish this, Thesec statements we urge our patrons and thg public at large to bear in mind, in order that they may clearly understand the events which will closely fol- low this announcement.

Mandates For Colonies. Article 22. 'To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war have ceased to be under the sovereignty of the states which formerly governed them and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world, there should be applied the prineiple that the well-being and de- velopment of such peoples form a sa- cred trust of civilization and that se- curities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this cove- nant. The best method of giving practica- ble effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples hé intrusted to advanced nations who, by of their resou their experience or their position, can hest under sponsibility, and who are willing to accept it, and that this tutelage should be exerclsed by them as mandatories on behalf of the lcague. cove- f the mandate must according to the stage of the development of the people, the geo graphical situation of the territory, its economic ilar circumstances: Certain communities formerly be- longing to the Turkish empire have reached ¢ of development where their can be provisi ject to the cognized sub administra- tive advice ince by a man- datory until h time they are able to stand alone The wishes of these communities must be a princi- pal consideration in selection of the mandatory Other peoples, especially th Central Africa, are at such that the mandatory must be respon ble for the administration of the te conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion subject the mainte- nance of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses snch as the slaye trade, the arms traflic and the the only to ligquor reasons | condition and other sim- 1dent nations | , ® | Colomb ,uumv and the preyention tablishment of fortifications tary and naval bases and Of training of the nations for othe police, purposes and the defe! territory, and will also secure opportunities for the trade and merce of other members of league. There are territories, such as sout west Africa and certain of the Sout] Pacific islands, Which, owing to & wness of their population small size or their remote from the centers of civilization o their geographical contiguity to thi territory of the mandatory and otheM circumstances, can be best adminiss tered under the laws of the mandato as integral portions of its territo; subject to the safeguards above mem toned in the interests of the indigs enous population. In gvery case of mandate, the mandatory shall r¥ndep to the council an annual report i reference to the territory committed to its charge, The degree of authority, control of administration to be exercised by the mandatary shall, if not previousiyl agreed upon by the members of thes league, be explicitly definod in eachl case by the council. A permanent commission shall by constituted to recefve and examin the annual reports of the mandatorios and to advise the council on all mats ters relating to the observance of the mandates.
