DODGE BROTHERS

MOTOR CAR

Its Goodness is alone responsible for the unusual demand that has existed right from the beginning.

Nothing has ever disturbed the demand for this Car. No outside conditions, no conditions inside the industry seem to slow it up a particle. The people 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. Car.

People seem to know that Dodge Brothers' idea, from the very first, was that if they built the Car right, nothing else mattered. It is the quality revealed in 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,

KAISER'S ABDICATION.

1919.

THE FINAL DECISION. STUBBORN RESISTANCE AT SPA.

IFROM LEOPARD BURAY.]

the

A personage in the entourage of William II. bas communicated following particulars of whay, took place a Spa, inunediately before the Kaiser's Aight to Holland. On Nov, 3rd, the Kaiser was still saying, I do not think of abdi. eating. I ask every offer a resist to the end, and as the Highest War Lord I must hold out also. The crassest Bolsho vism will break over Germany if I go, and there must be a strong hand to save her from chaos. Moreover, I am gladly working with the new Government, and Reveral gentlemen with whom I have spoken are very sympathetic in their co- operation. On November 8th, in the fore. noon, long discussiony took place. One of the first to appear in the Imperial villa of Fraincuse After his first audience with the Kaiser waa Hindenburg. be had a lengthy discussion with fifty Staff oficers of the several armies, each of which had been ordered to send five or six representatives to headquarters. Each officer stated in writing bis views, of the loyalty of his troops.

At his second audience, at one o'clock, at the Villa Fraineuse, Hindenburg laid before the Kaiser the verdict of the officers, which was almost unanimous that the troops were to be depended on against the enemy, but would not fight against their comrades. In the meantime, argent telephone messagns had been arriving from Berlin saying that the Kaiser must abdicate, and others asking whether he had alroudy abdicated. More discussion followed, and as a result an answer to Berlin was formulated. The Kaiser ab- dicated as German Emperor, but not as King of Prussia. At two in the after noon, when this reply was communicated to Berlin, the answer came back

is too late; we have already published the news of the abdication.

The Crown Prince arrived about noon at Spa, and returned about three to his army. The Kaiser said to him as he took leave, Tell the troops it is not true that I have abdicated as King. of Prussia.

Later Hindenburg came, with Groener and Hintze, and shortly after, Admiral Scheer, and representations were made to the Kaiser in favour of renouncing aleo the Prussian throne. When he left the audience chamber he said to Count Dolina Schledien, who was waiting in the auto-room. You have no longer a Highest

* I CANNOT DO TE."

In the evening one of the members of his nearest circle came to persuade. Wil belm to go to Holland. The Kaiser re fused During the evening he remarked, "They want me fly. But I will not go." And later he said to his adjutant, "I am so fearfully ashatoed. 1 cannot do it. I cannot go away. If there be but one faithful battalion her, I will remain at Spa." In the Court train, where he dined, came on, Job's comforter after another. One brought news that the Bolsheviks were is Herbesthai; an other that tho returning troops were threatening Spa. The Kaisor

etappen would still not consent to go, but be agreed to preparations being made. He remarked to those about him, "I have always knowa what to do, but now I can not help myself." One of his adjutants was asked by the Kaiser to give his view, and replied, "If I personally had to decide, I would remain, for if the troops will not defend your Majesty, then we can form a bodyguard of officers and we can occupy all the posts."

At ten in the evening, Hintze, repre- senting the Foreign Office, urged the Kaiser's departure once more.

Your Majesty," he said, "in a few hours it may be too lato," and referred to the dis- quieting reports from various towns. At last the Kaiser took the momentous deci sion. At first the castle of Bruebi, neär Cologne, had been thought of as the place

of sojourn, and there was also a question of the Kaiser joining the Crown Prince with his army, but the roads were no longer open to Bruchl, and

reports were brought that those to the Crown Prince's army were no longer safe. The narrator says that the Kaiser had considered the probability that the Entente would never conclude peace with him, and declared finally will go to Holland, to make it easy for my people to obtain peace. If I went to Germany it might be assumed that I wished to form a new party to make a rising in my favour."

He also expressed the view that from the moment he laid down the position of Highest War Lord he was without powera of command. He was purely & private person, and as the troops would not fight against their advancing comrades, he felt that the army had abandoned him, and thus the possible reproach that he had abandoned the army fell to the ground. Moreover,

he felt released from the duty
