DODGE BROTHERS
MOTOR CAR
Its Goodness is alone responsible for the unusual demand
that has existed right from the beginning.
No outside conditions.
Nothing has ever disturbed the demand for this Car
particle The people no conditions inside the industry seem to slow it up a want the Car more intensely at this moment than ever they wanted it before.
The Car has reached the stage when its sales are almost automatically increased. By this we mean that one sale is almost certain to result in one or
two other sales
There is a very pronounced and definite public opinion now in this country concerning the Dodge Bros. Can
People seem to know that Dodge Brothers' idea, from the very first, was that It is the quality revealed in if they built the Car right, nothing else mattered. its performance which makes the price impressive. People are attracted by something more than price; it is the internal and external excellence which characterises the Car.
The high price it demands when sold second-hand increases the respect in
which the Car is held
It would be hard to find a truer test of enduring worth. People are not eager for used Cars unless they know that such Cars have before them a long life of satisfactory service.
And so the Dodge Brothers Car is bought, not upon price, but upon the quality and value that it embodies,

at. 2.11, by ice-breaker, and after passing through a field of ice, which the vessel alternately crushed arough and passed over, with a noise that at times resembled the roar of artillery, Russian Island, where the school is situated, was reached after an hour's trip, vehicles conveyed the party to the school promises about six versts distant from the lauding stage. We drove over a deeply in-cutting bay, over a verst in widab, frozen so hurd that heavily laden motor lorries cross it with impunity. Upon arrival at the school prehtises we were all successively introduced to General Sakaroff, who gave one the impression of boing a man of strong will and deter- mination-the right man in the right pluce-who is in charge of the school, assisted by a staff of British instructors.
The
party then went to the exercise ground, where they witnessed the officers In training go through a series of mili tary exercises and manoeuvres, which were concluded by a march past, headed by a banner prescated recently to the school by General
The judicinus alternation of healthy outdoor English sports and strenuous DIL door work provided by the curriculum has imparted a mobility in the genera) department of the officers under training which was particularly noticeable. Speak ing with several of the junior officers, they stated that they thoroughly enjoyed the English sports.
The party were then served with lunch, after which the barracks, church, and various other buildings connected with the instructional school were inspected, which concluded the day s programe.
WHOLLY BUPPORTED AND MAINTAINED BY BRITAIN
The idea of an ollicers' training school originated with General Kuuf, and was imediately adopted by the Russian mili; tary authorities. The school was opened in December last. It is wholly supported asd maintained by the British Govern- afent, and exemplites in a practical map- der the desire of Great Britain to help Russia in her hour of trial. The school in doing excellent work in training litus- sian officers for the new Russian army which is now growing daily, und wili develop into an important institution. At the present time there are 500 officers under training. It was intended that the first course should be one of eight weeks' duration, but it will be somewhat extendê- 2d. At the end of each course, the officers who are certified as being competent, will be sent to the front as army officers and instructors. Any one of those under- going training, who will be certified as "'indifferent,'' will be expelled from the school, and sent to the front as a private
soldier. J. & C. G. BOLINDER'S CRUDE OIL ENGINES

PRESS, January to Juas,
A feature of the school is to be the training of non-cominissioned officers. Such a class, trained to have control of mou, and at the same time act as the right
of the officers, was practically non- existent in the old Bussian army. Une thousand men are now en route from Omsk for the school, to undergo this special training.
The work of the school is greatly appre ciated by the present. Itussian authorities, and Admiral Kolchak has expressed his warm approval of the school's work. 1t 1s an institution an the extreme rear, where officers and instructors are under- going special training, 111 order strengthen and make more efficient the forces at the front now ecigaged in sucti doudly struggle with the elements of destruction, anarchy and licence.
