When Lexington engineers had draughted the "Minute Man Six" they found their specifications for stamina, cer tainty of performance, power plus and mechanical excellence fully met In the Continental motor, and on this question they found themselves aligned with pie makers of the best cars uiyl with the foremost engineering talent; So there they stopped the Continental Motor Manufacturing Com-, pany vlitually becoming a part of the Lexington producing or ganization. Hut our own patented Moore Multiple Exhaust System, used only In Lexington cars, gives this great Continental engine 2? 8 per cent, more driving power, while it affects a won derful economy of gasoline. Let us show you the olllelal records and demonstrate these great qualities on the road together with 16 other points of superiority.

The charge that Japan's possible fear of tho United States was tho motive behind the new Russo-Japanese treaty was officially denied today by Counselor G. Kozatov, of tho Department of Foreign Affairs. He said the now treaty contained no cause for alarm in tho United States and did not involve tho "open-door" policy in China, Counselor Kozatov spoke in the absence of Foreign Minister Snzonoff, who is at the Emperor's headquarters. He himself first broached the question of a Russo-Japanese treaty when in Japan last January, and i3 thus qualified to speak of its underlying motives. His attention was called to an article in a Pctrograd dally newspaper containing tho intimation that tho Japanese-American situation was a motive inspiring the treaty. "That is utterly absurd," ho said. "Tho Russo-Japanese treaty was aimed at Germany. America wn3 not thought of. "Before the war Germany constantly talked of China. Sho had a well formed policy to increase her sphere of influence there. She repeatedly at tempted to induce Russia to join against Japan to block Jnpancsc interests. "Therefore, tho treaty really had a twofold purpose. First, Russia for the next decade must concentrate her attention on Europe, having no timo to look eastward, so she felt the need of an ally in the Far East to protect her interests there. Secondly, Russia has no intention of allowing Germany to do to China what she did to Turkey. That is all there is to it. America enn dismiss a3 baseless talk of the treaty being leveled at her. "This treaty is really tho last of three all similar. The first, in 1008, stipulated an agreement between Russia and Japan on Manchurian policies. Tho second, in 1910, acting together with the third, in 191G, merely goes n step farther. "China's open-door policy is in no way involved. There need bo no Un easiness in the United States."

"Vou'd never guess somo of tho clever devices employed by neutral merchantmen to get rubber Into Gcrmnny," said a sun burnt sailor who spend") his days and nights, too "policing" tho wntera of the war zone. "Hut hard experience has taught our patrol service not to ncccpt things as being Just what they seem no matter how gullcles) they may appear" As ho spoko ho handed mo a pretty lit tle spring onion, freih nnd Juicy looking. "Drop that on tho ground nnd sco what happens," he said, smiling. I did so. Won der of wonders, tho onion bounced back with remarkable agility Into my hand ! "Ilubber," said tho sailor laconically. 'Clever trick. Isn't It? Wo caught a whole enrgo of 'onions' steaming blithely for Gcr mnny la a neutral port. HIeRt If you cart ever make suro ynu'o t-vcrhatiled tho ships properly unless you open the mouths of tho crew nnd look down tholr throats with a telescope !" I looked nt the nppaienlly Innocent llttlo onion and marveled at Its clever composi tion. It seemed a sucrulent morsel natu rally destined for the family soup dish. Hut It was lubber, suro enough. "They'd tons of theso Micks on board," said tho sailor, "with a few real onions on top to makeotir eyes wnter a bit. Tho crew stood by as Innocent ns Inmbs while wo searched." "Would you ever suspect rich, julcy-look-Ing honeycombs, with honey fairly drop ping from them, ns being anything clso than well, Just honeycombs?" ho continued. "So. neither would I. Hut I've got a clever pal who's ecn sharper at tho patrol gamo than I am. Wo were searching a neutral boat that tns carrying a part cargo of honey, ho nnd I. lllowed If he didn't pull out ono of tho llttlo squnro boxes from a caso labeled 'puro honey' nnd Jerk tho comb from the box Tho honey was pouring out and ho licked at It with his tongue a long tongued chap he Is, so bo got a good doso. 'finrhllme,' be says, choking nnd spitting, 'this nln't 'oncy, It's 'ell" With that ho dropped the honeycomb on tho deck nnd It bounced back high In tho air, llko tho rub ber goods that It was. 'A smart trick.' says he, "but It nln't worked right this time.' "Uelloo me, every one of those honey combs was mndo of rubber and filled with smeary, honey-colored liquid to mnko It look llko tho genuine article.
