Apparently there isn't any limit to cither tjhe quantity or tho variety of questions that the various sections of the general staff nt .general headquarters are called upon to answer. There arc naturally the questions of policy and expediency, of supply nnd operations and kindred military matters brought here for settlement. But that Is not all by any means.

G. II. Q. gets both the nppcals that arc made from the men "over here" und those sent by the families and friends of the soldiers In the United States. That there are frequent delays is largely duo to the fact that when a soldier makes application for a dis charge it goes "through military chan nels," meaning thnt after the appli cation has been writteu, out it goes, In the case of an enlisted man, first to his company commander for consideration. Irom there it goes to regimental head quarters, to tho brigade, division, corps nnd army and then with various in dorsements arrives here. Onco hero It gets prompt attention.

Cider, Instead of champagne, is being used in christening ships of the Ameri can morchnntf murine. This beenmc known today when rumors were verified that the 21,000-tou vessel Wenatchcc was sponsored with apple-juice when it was launched last Saturday at the NcvV York shipyard. The vessel was chris tened by Sirs. II. II. Jones, of Brattle, Wash , daughter-in-law ot United Slates Senator W. L. Jones, who is chairman of the Senate commerce com mittee. When the vessel was launched it was generally supposed the ordinary custom of using wine had been followed, But those on the launching stand who were uot In on the secret detected the odor of ildcr, nnd the rumor started. Offi cials of the shipyards finally admitted that np wine hnd been used. Senator Jones, who came here for the launching, spent several hours inspect ing the shipyard. Before returning to. Washington he said that he was In favor of an American merchant marine grenter in size tlinn that of any other nation. "Atnciicn Is the greatest nation in the world," lie said, "because wo have the greatest homogeneous body of people in one territory on the face of the earth, and I feel that the people of Iowa, Illi nois or Missouri should hnve at least as great or a greater interest in American merchant marine than Out people from tho Rcnboard state's.

When will he come home? there is plenty for those in the personnel divi sion, particularly in the enlisted per sonnel section of G-2, to do. And they're doing it. answering every one of those letters, though it usually takes both a night and a day force to keep up with the work. Work Is Getting Ilealer With a Vt of the men going home it might seem that the work might be lightening, but instead it's getting heavier. Bclativcs at homo nrc be coming more anxious daily and their inquiring correspondence increases with their anxiety. General headquarters lajs down cer tain grounds on which officers ami -men may get discharges- from the bervice. It is admitted that it can't alwas be done, though many more arc "going through" now that there is less chance "Wonder what I've done now; rifle was clean at inspection," he grumbles as he starts for compauy headquarters. Standing nt attention before his cap tain, he salutes and waits to hear his fate- "You start home today; pack up and get ready," is what he hears if he's lucky. And he smiles nnd salutes, and makes a dash to get his few belongings icndy for the glad trip. But if his discharge application is re fused well, he salutes just the same. And his trip tack to the "hotel" is not ns fast or joyous. But he's soon smil ing and grumbling again. For it is the inherent right of tho American doughboy to do both. And he consoles himself with the thought tliut majbe his division will be the next to go home. For underneath all the American doughboy is an optimist. s. ?(? ,A r r i r EX MOTOR CARS Whenever Talk Turns to Motors. The New LAght Weight C& J Car That Also Has the Qualities of Performance, Comfort, Endur ance and Elegance of Large Costly Automobiles You Will Hear About the Essex From the start we purposely avoided mak ing claims for the Essex. Our restraint was that of absolute confidence, We knew it was certain to become popular, and that public 'favor would carry its fame further and with more effect than anything that could be written about' it. Therefore, we decided to let those who tried the Essex advertise it. Today a rapidly multiplying army of friends ' is giving it the most powerful advertising known disinterested, but enthusiastic, praise from living lips. From some of them you probably already have heard about the Essex ; enough to make you curioud and eager to examine and ride in it. It is interesting to hear the Essex discuss ed from the view-points of widely diverging t types iof people. ' What the User of Small Cars Has to Say ftV For instance, the man who has always owned a small car. He is the most enthusi astic of Essex admirers. It gives him a' new sensation of power and stability. He likes its complete, comfortable atmosphere. He does not hesitate to drive it over cobbled streets or rough roads. Squeaks and rattles are not artnoyingly present in the Essex. He is proud of the easy way it passes more costly and more powerful cars in traffic because of its acceleration. The big, roomy scats, the fine finish, the handsome appointments all appeal to his pride and 'ownership. Owners of Large Cars Admire Essex Economy You will hear other men compare the fine performance of the Essex'-with that of large, high-priced automobiles. Certain features of Essex performance remind them of such-and-such fine car. Other points recall the gratify ing behavior of other costly machines, And all are delighted with the low operating and upkeep costs. "" It is because the Essex appeals to this uni versal love of comfort, beauty, power and pride of ownership, and brings them wfthin reasonable economy, that it has won -more friends, perhaps, than any other car ever did within the same length pf time. -You will find much to admire and desire in the Essex, too.
