FIGHT FOR GREAT ARMY
LAUNCHED IN SENATE
Ultimnte Victory Predicted for
Measure Providing for
800,000 Men
WASHINGTON. March 29. With pros
pects of a determined light, but ultimate
Mi-tory ahead, the Chamberlain army bill,
providing SOO.000 men In regular and re
serve, today began Its courso In the Sen
ate. It Is n complete substitute for the
Hay bill, which passed the House, but
which tho Senate will not even consider,
the Military Committee having reported It
Inadequate and Ineffective.
Probabilities nre that tho fight on tho
Chamberlain bill will be chlelly to ndd
Item to It. nr to reform Its provisions on
matters of detail. There Is no organized
pacifist forco In the h'enate.
Chief among the fights due Is one by
Senator Kenyan to abandon many "politi
cal" army posts. Not only nre these forts
useless and extravagant, Kcnyon holds,
but they prevent the troops from being
concentrated nt strategic points for man
euvers In largo bodies Chamberlain will
defend all the posts on tho ground that
they are needed to house the troops to be
raised,
A group of Southern Senators, headed
by Underwood, of Alabama, will attempt
to provide n flovcrnment nitrate plant,
which presumably would be located nt
Mussul Shoals, Ala. Conservationists will
fight this attempt If It Is proposed to lease
the government plant, once built, to private
concerns.

Quality First
Now Comes the Stunning 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers Cabriolet
Last autumn the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers was
unveiled.
Recognition of its amazing merits was instant.
It proved the star performer at all the great
automobile shows.
Now comes the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers Cabriolet,
and supreme engine speed weds closed-car comfort,
elegance, and distinction. The performance of
this new 3400 r. p. m. model is matched by the
charm of the closed-car builder's art.
The enduring might of her 3400 r. p. m. motor
puts speed where it belongs in the clasp of al
mighty acceleration and singular fiiel-economy.
The cataract of power from her speedy engine is
held in sensible restraint yet she'll go 60 miles an
hour any time you say, while delivering 18 miles
of marvelous going for every gallon of gas.
She's the season's favorite with women of taste
for shopping jaunts, matinees, teas, and calls. So
easy to drive that it won't wear out your wife or
daughter to sit at the steering wheel. There s an
uncommon amount of room, not only under the

swing of the elbows.
The heavy French plate glass windows are easy
to adjust.
The top comes down for spring or summer use,
giving you a handsome Six-30 Chalmers Roadster,
and again a Cabriolet when another autumn rolls
around. And so distinction weds utility.
This is a car that most families of taste cannot
afford to be without.
I've stood at the curb watching closed cars of
every make and kind, and there's none that goes
about your business with lighter heart and surer
step than this new 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers Cabriolet.
There's a mighty lure to every line. Folk turn
to look at her as she passes proudly by. Body by
Fisher. Either leather or cloth trim without extra
cost.
It's the car you'll want your wife to have.
