ntldod that Von Itetlimnnn wanted dip
loinntie preliminaries In order to keep
the I'nltcil Htfttes out of the war, nlid
thnt tho opinion prevailed In tho For
eign Office thnt If the United States
rnme In South America was bound to
follow.
During the course of the conversa
tions, Von Holtzondorff Raid: "What
shall we do If the. chancellor refuses?"
Von Hindcnburg That's wlint Is
bothering me, too.
Von HoltzcndorfC Then you must
become chancellor.
tint Von Hindcnburg repeatedly re
fined, saying he could not talk in the
Itelchstag. Filially, the lleld marshal
said! Y
ell. then wc will st kk to
gether. It must be. We reckon with
war with Ihe Vnited Sfates, and have
made nil preparations. Things cnunot
get worse. The war must be shortened
by every possible mentis."
Another document gives nu nccnuut
the conversation among Von Hlndcn
burg, l.iidcndorft nnd Chancellor von
Iiethmnnii-Hollweg nt Pless on .Tnnunry
S). at which Von Hethmnnn said:
"I'-boot war Is the last card. It is a
very grnve decision. If the military
authorities regard it as lndispeuublc I
am not in n position to deny It."
Von Hlndenburg replied: "We nre
armed against all eventualities, against
the rnlted States, Denmark. Holland
and Switzerland. Cruiser warfare is
unprofitable enonph. Wo need the most
nithless and energetic action, and there
fore unrestricted U-boat wor from
February 1. The war must end quickly.
We could hold ou. but our allies could
nnt "
,;,,,,,.. IPn further oxplainetl
how unrestricted U-bont warfare would
benefit the army, which, lie ndded.
"Mustt bu spared unother Soinino

The superior construction that nssures more riding

The ten distinct and unique hotly designs.

WAR SURPLUS EQUIPMENT
Buys engine for $600 less
than cost of repair parts
Paper mill gets much needed machinery from
Du Pont Surplus at great saving
Some time ago a large Eastern paper mill was forced to
shut'down when its main power engine was wrecked.
The makers of the engine could not promise repair parts
sooner than thirty days.
Then the paper people appealed to us. We offered a com
plete engine to take the place of their wrecked one for $600
less than repair parts would have cost. At this rate it paid
them to order two 350 H. P. Allis-Chalmers engines recom
mended by our engineers.
Within four days the engines were at the plant and in ten
days installed and in operation. The saving in actual cash is
negligible compared to the saving of weeks of production time
and perhaps a great deal of future business.
This instance is not the unusual. Our sales records con
tain many more. But we can serve you not only in emergen
cies. You can find among our stocks materials and equipment
for your eycry day factory uses.
No matter what industry you arc in, no matter what
equipment or material you need, call on us.
But act quickly if you want to be sure to get your share.
Our supply is fast diminishing. Phone, wire or write today,
