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.

ܪ

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.

IN REED HUTS.

The E.E.S.'s white elephant consists of 8,000 Armenian refugees, encamped in reed huts and old Army tents around the од the Port Said quarantine station canal. The French dumped 4,500 of them! into Port Said late on the night of! September 18th. 1915. There are до 4.500 women and girls among them, 3,000 children, and 1,500 men, with 900 more coming out of quarantine at Kantara in a couple of days.

All the women and girls, except the very old among them, have been victims. of bands of Turks, Kurds, and Arabs.. Many have been rescued after long periods of imprisonment in harems Haadreds of the children are orphan Many of them saw their parents and other relatives die, some under the knob bed clubs.and knives of the Turks or the Kurds who were ordered by Enver Pasha's agents to exterminate them. some in the swollen streams which they attempted to fard on their terrible tramp south from Asia Minor through the mas sive Taurus Mountains, some from typhus in the foul "concentration camp" of the Turks, and some from starvation. One boy of twelve, whose father had: kept the coffee-shop at Doors Yol, be tween Adana and Alexandretta, told me how his mother died before his eyes?! Bir, may you never see any one din ot thirst."

A SHATTERED PEOPLE.

They are the scattered fragments of a shattered people, fung to the seven winds by the Turkish armies, and later gather ed together again by British, French, and American agencies and set down here to be healed.

In their exile, all of them now look fat and healthy and contented.

Tire children go to the camp, schools, and the sick, if any, are cared for at the camp hospital. The women and men are kept busy, not only seying and baking for the E.E.., but "resuming the time. honoured trades of their grandfathers- embroidery, rug-making, and the many. factors of combs and wooden; spoons.

in Peking, the whole of the Diplomatic Corps were present or might almost say "Officially" in Tientsin, the Allied Consulshot only attended the initial performance, but also on the succeeding nights took the opportunity to bring their Chinese friends. They did this because they recognised that the American Propagande Committee, in producing this wonderful picture with its hundreds scenes and thousands of characters, had not only set forth tic reasons why America entered the war, and shown, beyond a doub, who caused it and why, but had also placed on record a complet vindication of the Allied cause, making, incidentally, the amen Acaorable for a century of abuse of the Mother Country-and making it handsomely.

What of Hongkong ?

2.800 people came to the Coronet to see "Jack and the Beanstalk"; 2,600 saw The Yankee Way." Up to the present That is less than 1500-have seen "My Four Years in Germany. not as it should be. When the possibility presented itself of securing this epic of the screen-at exactly three times the price of the most expensive film ever previously shown here we felt that, as the only British Cinema in the Colony, it would be a dereliction of duty on. our part not to seize the opportunity. Is it not equally the, duy of the Public to take advantage of the same; also?

One man whom we tackled gave, as his reason for not want ing to see it, his certainty that it was blatant American. This is libel on the picture, for it does equal justice to every ally thai enters that story. The only thing obtrusively American-and we can thank God for it-is the unflagging zeal of the great-hearted Ambassador on behalf of our own and the Allies prisoners and wounded..

Another growl has been at the price-"Fancy paying two dollars to see a picture show!'' This film costs six times as much you. as "The Yankee Way," which means that we pay six times and pay double-surely that does not appear, excessive!

Whether the Public recognises its obligations or not, we fully recognise our responsibility in the matter, and we are putting the picture on for three nights more so that everyone may have the opportunity of seeing it.

In the early days of the war, the recruiting poster "What did you do in the Great War, Daddy 2" brought thousands of volunteers into the British Forces even for the single men the suggestion was sufficient. But what of those other questions that will be on baby lips in the days to come: "Why don't you like the Germans "Why did we enter the Great War, Daddy?" They will also need answering. Can you do so as clearly as you could wish? You can if you have seen
