ABBOTT-DETROIT
NEW MODEL IS HERE
Announcement For 1915 Includes a
Reduction of S3OO in the Price
and Added Refinements
The new 1915 Abbott-Detroit model
was unloaded this morning and de
livered to the local Abbott-Detroit
factory branch at lOfi South Second
street. Of special importance to the
prospective buyer Is a reduction of
J3OO in price, although retaining the
powerful continental motor, Warner
transmission. Teinken bearings, Spicer
universial joints, and all those fea
tures that went toward giving their
line that well-known slogan "The
Bulldog Line." This price reduction
applies to all the four-cylinder mod
els, made possible owing to greater
efficiency at factory and reduced ex
pense of production, without effecting
the duality.

OPEN EVENINGS
Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 29, 1914.
Mr. Prospective Buyer,
Dear Sir:—
If you have any doubts of the HUDSON supremacy the new model
Six-40 at $1,550, f. o. 1). Detroit—please note the following facts:
On last year's model the factory was 3,000 cars oversold.
This year, to cope with demands, they trebled the factory output.
Every HUDSON dealer, up to this writing, has outsold his allotment.
Forty-five per cent, of all cars shipped this season have been sent out by
express. Whole trainloads to some sec ions have gone out bv express. Noth
ing like this has ever happened before in the history of automobiles.
For September, the factory is compelled to increase its planned output
one-third.
This at time when there are plent of cars, when many makers are stor
ing cars and many are running short shifts.
And the reason is this fThis new HUDSON Six-40 dominates its field.
There is nothing in its class to compare with it. The only cars which even
approach it are sold at very much higher prices.
This enormous field—once occupied by Fours—is open to Sixes now.
Almost no buyer paying over $1,200 wants anything else to-day. And no one
can doubt that the new HUDSON Six-40 out-classes all rivals there.
We can now offer prompt deliver/ on some styles of bodies. Won't
3'ou come and talk with us about the particular style you want?
Very sincerely yours,
I. W. DILL,
SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 29, 1914.
top are added features. Current re
ports from all over tlie country pre
dict a wonderful year for this com
pany.
After mechanical excellence, the
one thing which appeals most strong
ly to motor car buyers is the attrac
tiveness and luxury with which the
car Is furnished. The Abbott-Detroit
Is among: the finest types of body de
signs on the market.
Abbott cars owe much of their at
tractiveness to their lustrous finish.
Twenty-five separate operations are
necessary to achieve the excellence
demanded in Abbott painting. One of
the great claimg of Abbott superiority
is the absolute silence of all its work
ing parts. This is an assurance of
mechanical excellence striven for by
all makers of automobiles.
Motor Cars Will Be Featured

New Cadillac Features
Subject For Speculation
What Is the Cadillac going to do tills
I year, is a question frequently heard
in motor car circles and the various
answers to the question are as Interest
ing as they are numerous. Great
secrecy has shrouded the engineering
and mechanical production of the new
1915 Cadillac, and even the men higer
up in motoi' car manufacturing failed
to get an inkling of the design or style
of the new Cadillac. It is remarkable
when one considers the making of a
new model in a large manufacturing
establishment filled with thousands of
I mechanics and hundreds of office
clerks, as well as the expert draughts
| men and engineers; and yet no hint of
i the new features has penetrated to the
! outer world until here recently. Now
i there are various rumors afloat, and
I some of them indicate that there will
be an unusual surprise in store for
the public tills year when the an
, nouncement is made. One of the most
! surprising features is the. fact that
I this car has been tested for a year
I incognito. Bven among the hills of the
Cumberland Valley this car has been
I tried out but not even Cadillac dealers
were aware of the fact. But that is
a story all in Itself. September 2S Is
tbe date set for the official announce
ment. Until then it is largely specu
lative as to what the Cadillac Com
pany have In store. But the reputa
tion of the company Is such that what
ever they announce will not be an ex
periment but sufficiently tested and
approved by competent engineers to
pass the Cadillac standard of efficiency.
Hudson Cars Proving
Themselves Popular
Three eafloads of Hudson Light Sixes
delivered since the announcement was
made is the report of I. W. 11111. This
company was among the first to come
out with their new models and pro
ceeded at once to make hay while the
sun was shining. In other words de
liver the goods as early In the touring
season as possible. At a price S2OO
less than last year and thirty-one re
finements the Light 6-40 promises to
exceed last year's popularity. The
Hudson Company claims the distinction
Of being the leading bnililer of light
Sixes. Quantity production has made
possible the present reduction in price.
Basically the 1915 Hudson Is about
the same as last year. But there havo
hern added some developments .some
refinements, some new discoveries.
To Improve last year's Light Six
would have seemed to most engineers
an impossibility.
But Hudson engineers are never
satisfied. Experts in all departments
worked out, with Infinite patience and
skill, the suggestions of Howard E.
Coffin and his associates.
So last year's standard—high though
it was is now set still higher. The
car Is even more beautiful, more pow
erful, more economical. It shows many
fresh conveniences, numerous new
ideas, frequent additions to comfort and
luxury.
Hudson Six Models for 19X5 are pro
vided as follows:
On the Slx-40 chassis there Is avail
able Phaeton, with seating capacity for
four or six; Coupe, with seating capac
ity of four; Limousine, Boadster. and
Convertible Roadster. On the Six-54
chassis are built the Phaeton and Lim
ousine bodies.
The Six-40 Convertible Roadster is
substantially the same as the 1914
model, with certain modifications and
refinements. The car was extremely
popular In 1914 and undoubtedly will
be in equal or greater demand for the
coming season.
The Slx-40 Roadßter has a wider
seat, ample for three passengers.
The Slx-40 Limousine nnd Slx-40
Coupe promise to be very popular
models. They are finished In the high
est quality, inside and out, and for
those who seek a Limousine of medium
size or a Coupe of finest type these
attractive models will be perfectly sat
isfactory.
The Slx-54 Limousine Is amring the
finest at any price ,on the market. Be
cause of its size, balance, ease of hand
ling. convenience and luxuriousness
this superb car is certain to be a
leader.
The finish of the closed car models
Is of the highest type. Imported cloths
and trimmings with hand-huffed leath
er are specified for all interior finish
Accessories, lighting, and other de
tails will bear closest comparison with
the finest cars.
Germans Will Use Heavy
Siege Guns at Antwerp
London, Aug. 29, 6.24 a. m.—A di
spatch to the Dally News from Rotter
dam snys that out of 60,000 Inhabi
tants of Malines, only 200 are now left
In the town. Refugees state that
many were killed by the bombardment
and the rest fled.
The Germans are bringing up heavy
geige guns of a new pattern for use
against Antwerp. These guns have
also been used at Mallnes.
The Germans have ordered all able
bodied Belgians in Liege and Tongres
and in the vacinity to proceed at once
to Germany to assist in harvesting.
The news of this order is likely to
swell greatly the number of Belgian
refugees in Southern Holland.

section of the town. A warehouse
now is being built for George Meyers,
the tire king, by Contractor Pomrain
ing and this latest addition to manu
facturers' row causea the reflective
real estate operator to pause and
wonder.
Curiously enough, the first manu
facturing venture in this part of town
did not last long. The building that
was used by the Harrlsburg Planing
Mill Is now occupied by the Harris
burg Cigar Box Factory and the State
Highway Department laboratory. The
Harrisburg Raking Company followed
and the next concern to get down In
the manufacturers' belt was the D.
Bacon Company. Roth these concerns
are in a highly prosperous condition.
The Shaffer Wagon Works, the Cen
tral Cigar Factory and the Hershey
Creamery are other concerns that are
doing business into the thousands.
Automobile Sales Center
Besides being a wholesale and man
ufacturing district the locality Is prov
ing a magnet for automobile concerns.
The Crlspen-Cadlllac Company moved
there a few years ago and the Ford
Sales Company is now erecting a large
three-story brick warehouse and sales
room. Ferry's garage also Is at this
point.
It is Impossible to estimate what
amount of business is done annually
In this street that five years ago was
bare and vacant, but It is safe to say
that it runs into the hundred thou
sands. The Harrisburg Produce Com
pany, which undertook to carry on an
extensive milk and produce business,
Is the second of the only two that
have not proved paying concerns. This
building is now for sale or rent and
at present Is unoccupied. The ground
on which the busy industries now
stand was originally owned by several
landholders, including WHhelmina
Thompson, the Simon Cameron estate,
D. D. Boas, James McCormick estate
and others.
Clever Ruse Causes
Severe Cavalry Loss
London, Aug. 29, 3.12 a. m.—A pri
vate letter received here from a Bri
tish officer at the front tells how a
British cavalry regiment suffered sev
ere losses through a ruse of the enemv.
The regiment, it seems sighted a Ger
man battery not far off, firing in a re
verse direction and the British officer
decided that the battery was unaware
of their presence whereupon he order
ed a cavalry charge down Into the
valley which lay between them and the
battery.
Unfortunately tha bottom of the
.valley had been very closly studded
with concealed barbed wlfu into which
a great portion of the regiment rushed
before the front rank could give warn
ing. Immediately the German battery
turned its guns around, inflicting
heavy loss.
J. J, MILL SEES GOOD TIMES

Hi FORESEES
DECISIVE BATTLE
[Continued From First Page]
the Germans have been obliged to
withdraw a portion of their forces
in the west to meet the Busslan ad
vance in the east.
The advance movement of the Mus
covites In the eastern theater of war
was uninterrupted. In Eastern Prus
sia they have completely invested
Koenigsberg, while in Gallcia they
would appear to be drawing the net
tighter around Weinberg.
On Lookout for Trawler
The source of the floating mines
which have sunk so many small craft
in the North Sea during the past few
days seem to be indicated in a request
to shipping to keep a lookout for "a
trawler painted black, with white
numbers on her funnel," and when it
is seen to notify the authorities im
mediately.
Fired by the news that the native
Indian army is coming to participate
in this war, the Rasutos of South
Africa have petitioned that, in the
event of an attempted invasion of
South African territory, they he al

Correspondent Tells of
Fighting at Cambrai
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 29, 2.40 A. M.—The
correspondent of the Telegraph at Ar
ras, capital of the Department of Pas-
De-Calais, sends an account of the.
fighting in the vicinity of Cambrai, un
der Thursday's date. He says:
Cambrai was occupied yesterday
by the Germans despite the efforts of
the English. Thp defense of the fron
tier from Lille to Valenciennes was
until 112 hours ago entrusted to the
British, who did all in their power to
halt the advance of the enemy, but
conditions were unfavorable.
The force opposed was one of the
most highly trained and best equipped
In the world, consisting of a cavalry
division, supported by a battalion of
infantry with artillery and machine
guns. So rapid and audacious are its
movements that In four days cavalry
has appeared at almost every point
along the road from Lille to Cambrai.
Fight Was Desperate
'They were without artillery or
machine guns, but they had orders
to hold Cambrai at all costs. Heaven
knows they tried. They {ought for
three hours desperately and were
then compelled to fall back on Arras.
"I met them retreating slowly be
fore a body of cavalry with machine
g"uns, which decimated their ranks.
"The retirement was conducted skil
fully and coolly and with tjie assist
ance of Relgian troops who came up
In the nick of time.
"There Is now a sufficient force to
oppose any further attack on Arras
and Rethune, twenty miles to the
northwest, hut It Is not unlikely that
for strategic purposes some further
portions of this northwest territory
must be abandoned." i

Austrians Fail in an
Attempt to Seize Left
Flank of the Russians
London, Aug. 29, 4.05 a. m.—A St.
Petersburg dispatch to the Times
sent Saturday morning, says the Aus
trians made a bold bid for the of
fensive yesterday by trying to seize
the left flank of the Russian position
In Poland with the obvious intention
of releivlng the pressure on the Ger
man forces in Northeastern Prussia.
Two .or three army corps advanced
ns far as Klelce, where they en
countered a strong Russian force. A
pitched battle was fought and resulted
of the overthrow of the invaders who
sustained heavy losses. It was here
that the eleventh Hungarian reserves
met their fate.
Operations in Eastern Gallcla, ac
cording to the dispatch, are developing
fast and the Russian net is drawing
around Lemberg. The German Allen
stein army is in full retreat towards
Elbing and Marionburg.
"The reported capture of Koenigs
berg Is completely surrounded.
"The minister of finance has in
formed prominent temperance ad
vocates that the sale of spirits would
be forgotten throughout the war."
Tasks in East and West
Are Vastly Different
London, Aug. 29, 5.12 a. m.—The

in his comment on the war to-day
says:
"There is a great difference between
the tasks of the allies in the western
