EISNER CLAIMS

'LONDON Dec. 7. ( Ilritiih wire-
ish wireless service ) Kurt Eisner
the Bavarian permier declared in i
perch Thursday that he intends in I
f'w d)i to commenre publication of
document! of the German fureinn of-
fire in order to prove that Kmperor
William was responsible for the war
according to a ditpajch received here
yetterday from Copenhagen "Com-
ments on certain dncqtnentt prove that
1he leaner earned (he war" Eiiner
declared.
Dealing with Eiiner'a ipeech the

of the emperor and declare! that there
ii no doulit the document! are more
compromiitrig for the emperor than
for thoie who wrote them. .
With reference to the siatemrnt by
tmperor William to lr. tienrge Weg-
ener to the effect that in the three
weeki nf hu itay in Norway during
the critical dayi of July JVI4 he was
only informed ' event i thrmixh the
Norwegian newspapers the Morgen
bladet give! partirulari of the "till
nary day's work of the emperor at.
that time.
"The Bergen journalist whose ipe-
tial duty it was to report the kaiier'i
doing declared that the kaiier during
this last atay in Norway wai buiiett
at work on board his yacht than dur-
ing any other previous year" the
newspaper says. "His visit attune
wert remarkably less freiiuent and
more brief. The telegraphic corre-
spondence of the kauer in th'ine July
days was very heavy and he patted
Hveral hours daily in wirelctt com-
munication. When the iniierul yacht
lay in one of the fjordt where the
height of the mountains prevented
wireless telegraphy a firttrlats torpedo
boat appeared daily to deliver and re
ceie telegrams and mail.
"Therefore it it little probable that
the kaiser was only informed of the
march of events in Europe by the Nor-
wegian nrwtpaperi the more so at
tha majority of telcgraim received by
bim are known to have been in cipher."

What Happened When Lillian Smil-
ingly Faced Dicky.
AS Dicky turned on hit heel and
went upttaira again I drew a
long Dream oi relict.
Evidently he had decided to post
pone telephoning Edith I'airfax until
after he had seen Lilluti. And 1 was
sure that everything would be all
right once she arrived. He might get
angry at Lillian but I was confident
that she would be able to manage
him. She always had I .reflected
with an unworthy ting- of bitterness
for I had never been able to repress
a feeling of envy that Lillian should
sometimes be able to do for Dicky
what I could not.
Lillian was distinctly jubilant
when after calling her the second
time I told her of Dicky's discovery
and his acquiescence in my proposal
that she come out to Marvin as soon
as possible.
"Good work." she commented ap
nrovingly. I II be out on the next
train."
"Why don't you bring Marion with
you and spend the night at least?
I urged.
Side considered a moment.
"I'll do just that I the said heart
ily. Thank you for your thoughtful
nest Madne Marion will be wil l with
joy Mie s simply crazy to see the ba
by. Goodby.
A Sulky Dicky.
I purposely kept out of Dicky's
way until the time ol Lillian t ar-
rivtl. And with an explanatory word
to Mother Graham who indeed
needed little explanation for with
Lillian't permission I hid already
confided to her the story of Lillian s
efforts to bring order out of Dicky's
ttntncial chaos I made the simple
preparations necessary for entertain-
ing Lillian and her little girl I
hoped that we would be able to keep
them longer than the "over night" of
my invitation.
"Good afternoon I" This was
Dicky's formal greeting when alter
he had taken Marion to the nursery
and left her there in Mother Gra-
hamj care an enraptured devotee at
"Richard Second's" shrine I had led
Lillian to the room where I)iky sat
reading. Hit voire and demeanor
were distinctly sulky and I saw Lil-
lian's fine eyes light with humorous
appreciation of his attitude. He had
risen to his feet at our entrance hut
he didn't ofler to shake hands where-
as hit usual greeting of Lillian wit
either a kits or a comradely pit on
tne shoulder
"Well what do you know about
thit?" Lillian addretted the surround-
ing atmosphere. "The Dicky bird in
a regular matinee hero role 'Good
afternoon.'" She imitated his t ne
and manner accurately. "Rut you're
not dretted the part dear boy. You
ought to be in conventional afternoon
garb with a ttirk yes you really
need a stick child.
Left to Lflllaa.
inure shoutm right I need a
stick!" Dicky returned grimly al
tli hi lib I had seen knew that Lillian
mutt have also caught the twitchin
of hit lint at her badinage. "And
know who ought to get it too. Matt
it all I.il" hit voice rose in childish
anger "I'm not a child in leading
strings that you and Madge should
take it tiKin yourselves to '
Uli tin that stuff I" Lillian ad
vised .carelessly. "You're old enough
to know better. And sit down. I'm
going to even if you haven't atked
me. We'll be a lot more comfortable
and then I'm at your disposal for cat
echism croas-examinitinn and chat-
titement if you to decide."
She dropped into a chair managing
to signal me with her ryes as she did
so. I obediently edged towaid the
door
"I'll just run down the hall and see
to Marion" I said trying to make
my vine casual.
"I knew you'ij be making a get-
away" Dicky said unpleasantly. "Hut
it makes no difference to me. I'll at-
tend to your rase later. It's Lil I'm
going to boil in oil this trip"
"Light the fire I'm ready" Lillian
retorted and as I closed the door and
went slowly down the hall I hrard
Dicky s voire high-pitched reproach
fill break into an impassioned tirade.
in which there repeatedly orcurred
the namet of Edith Kita and E
Stern.
I found mytrlf shaking with anxie
ty and I stopped outtide the nursery
door to pull myself together. So
muih drjiended upon this interview
with Lillian. If she could pertuaile
Dicky to give up all idea of the play
he would be able to go back to the
ramp with no anxiety dragging at
liim. Lor I meant to tay no word of
my going to work until he thould
have had time to find himself again
If it hadn't been for Marion I don't
know how I thoiild have endured the
half hour of waiting. Hut the child's
delight in the hahy was so enthutias
tic. her demands to be allowed to hold
him and carry him and wheel him
were to numerous that mv hands and
brain were kept buty until I heard
Dicky s door close sharply and the
sound of footsteps in the hall.

permitted to pay out more than 21
marks at one time or more th?n 600

ack to Pre - War Prices
But Only for a While We Fear
The Mitchell Company today announcei a daring ahort-
time policy.
Tomorrow we go back to Pre-War Prices. Back to $1275
for the 40-horsepower Six back to $1525 for the 48-horee-power.
Back to former prices on the latest styles of bodies
open and enclosed.
That means a redaction of $190 on one model and $210
on the other an average redaction on open modtlt of
$200 per car.
It means that these Sixes always unmatchable values
are today the sensations of Motordom. The average under-
price compared with other like-size Sixes is enormous.
It meant in today's market a price to tow that then great
Sixtt have no competition in the Light-Six class.
Prices May Go Up
The prices we announce now are experimental. They are
based on pre-war costs.
They are possible now because most of the materials we
are using were bought at P re-War Prices. We stocked up
heavily two years ago on steels.'
Some parts like tires are costing much more but for a few
weeks we are going to stand that loss.
We want to see prices get back. Our war work has left
us a bigger factory a greater organisation. We want to keep
it going full speed. We want places for our soldiers who
come back.
So we answer the price mvestionnow in everyone's mind
by cutting off all of the war-time advances. That for a
short time until we see what comes.
But the steels we bought at Pre-War Prices will soon be
exhausted. So with leather so with other things. What these
materials will cost after January 1st Is yet to be determined.
If they come down down to Pre-War Prices we can
continue the prices we announce today. If they stay high
our prices must go up.
Judge that for yourself. Our opinion is that Mitchell
prices cannot remain this low. And that when they go up
it will be a long long time before again you see the values
that we offer now.
Why Mitchell Advanced
During war-time Mitchell prices advanced much less than
others. .The average on touring models was $200.
The reason lay in vastly reduced production. We turned
our factory on to war work until in late months we were
running almost exclusively on trucks.
Selling costs ours and dealers' could not be reduced
with output Nor could overhead cost So we had to get
higher prices.
Then we wanted to keep down demand. National Interests
required it As it was thousands who wanted Mitchells in
those war days could not get them.
Today's Transcendent Value
These Mitchell Sixes at thete Pre-War Prices while they
last are by far the greatett values in the Light-Six field
today. No rival comet near them. Compared with some
the values are amazing.
In pre-war days no Sixes of the Mitchell size and power
and class sold at Mitchell prices. ''"
Now thoee values are increased. Daring this war period we
have added many improvements. Our engineers had ktisare.
They have worked oat scores of betterments.
In that time also we have added many able men. And our
whole organization has grown more efficient in meeting
Government exactions.
We were never eautpped as today to budd great cars.
So these Pre-War Prices now are buying bettsr thmn pre-
war cars.
A 16 -Year Attainment
The Mitchell Sixes of today 'mark a 16-year attainment
All we have learned all we have evolved in those 16 years
are in them.
They are built in a mammoth model plant in a plant
which is famed for its efficiency and methods. In a plant
where we build complete dars chassis and bodies in the
most scientific way.
At tomorrow's prices while those prices last they offer
sensational values. Our belief is that the prices cannot last.
It will be long we think before anyone can match them'-in
this factory or anywhere.
Come see the cars and talk the matter over.
