The "Reds" Are On
The Run
The gallant struggle of the Poles to save their capital from capture has at last been
crowned with success, and the Bolshevist reverse bids fair to become a rout, according to an
arresting article in this week's number of THE LITERARY DIGEST, dated August 28th,
on this spectacular turning of the tide of war. The Minneapolis Journal is quoted as saying
that "the Bolshevik menace to western civilization, if any, is now political," while an Eastern
paper is sure that "Bolshevism has shot its bolt." The Newark Evening News asserts that
the "lowering of Bolshevism's prestige will naturally be followed by reaction within Russia,"
and the New York World declares that "it was not merely a battle that Poland won in front
of Warsaw, but the right to assume a position of equality at the peace table." lt

Mercer enclosed cars
for all around use
ALL the world knows Mercer's reputation on the
k open road
Only Mercer owners realize its exceptional
merits for city use.
Mercer enclosed cars have the combination of
charming lines and comfort which is only possible
when the body designer has a low chassis and an
ample wheel base to build on.
Their low centre of gravity is also a powerful
element of safety; likewise the unusual range of
driver's vision permitted by their windshield and
forward window design, and the superb brake
action which assures against traffic collisions in
the. tight places.
Their windows lower out of sight whenever
fresh air is in .demand.
V
They ace rarely economical among cars of first
quality.
Hare's Motors, engineers design their products
for every condition of use. All around excellence
is their only standard.,
