British Trying to Buy

'LONDON, Oct. 11.-The British gov?
ernment has offered to purchase the
Ireland, Newfoundland and Halifax
line of the Direct. United States fable
Company at a price said to be about
?750,000. The cable was laid forty
years ago, and is American owned and
has been operated by the Western
Cable Company since 1912,
With the except!m of the former
German cable, all Atlantic Unes are
now under American control, and the
government feels the need of more than
one wire.
The suggestion has been made in the
press that'wli?le the government needs
cables, the construction of a new and
better line would be wiser than to buy
the one under cons iderat ion.

Provisional Rule Established
WARSAW, Oct. 11 (By The Ass.,.
ciated Press.?-General Zellgouski,
whose forces occupied Vilna, th?>
Lithuanian capital, Saturday, hag es- i
t#iblished a provisional government in !
Vilna, according to reports from
Grodno to-day.
The Polish authorities assert it. was
ascertained after the Reda were driven
eastward that more than one thousand i
Poles i Id men, women and children -
lad been killed by the Bolsheviki in the
Vilna region during the occupation.
Army officials say that the action of ?
Zellgouski's units was in defiance of ;
the orders of General Sikorski, who
commands the Polish army on the:
northern front. General Sikorski
telegraphed headquarters here that
several ?lays ago he endeavored to j
pacify the dissatisfied group.
The group which revolted belonged
to the division which distinguished!
itself ?t Radzymin in defense of War?
saw when the Reds' August drive
leached the capital's gates. They j
were from the ?Grodno and I.ida
districts, and mutinied because of
dissatisfaction over the terms of.
th" Lithuanian-Polish armistice. This
agreement left the fate of Vilna in
suspense, and caused such hitter feel?
ing throughout the divisi in that it
was resolved at all costs to prevent
the Kovno government from annex?
ing the city.
Occupation of Vilna resulte,1 from
the rejection by General Zellgouski of
proposals by the French Goven
create Vilna a free city. The forces
occupying the city were Polish
Lithuanians, and not. while Russians
and Lithuanians as reported Satur?

Great Excitement in Vilna

unable to communicate with Genera!
Zellgouski since the latter entered
Vilna. He added that there was greal
excitement in the Vilna district.

Denikine from Odessa, sent in his res?

for an answer over the wire, but fol?

daughter of Admiral Reinhardt Von
Scheer, who was wounded when her
mother and a maid were assassinated
in the Admiral's villa Saturday after?
noon, still is critical, but some hope
is held out for recover;.-.
One of the murders, an artist named
Buechner, who committed sucide in a
coal bin, is said to have bee:', a victim
of shell-shock in the war and very ex?
citable. Buechner concealed himself in
the cellar, where h'e attacked and killed
the maid servant. Frau von Sehe? r,
disturbed by the maid's prolonge?! ab?
sence, went to seek her and also was
kille'd. Fraulein von Scheer then began
a search for he mother and wat
upon and wounded.
The person wh was seen leaving tl
house after the shooting has not b? ?
identified. It is thought probable,
however, that it was Admiral von
Scheer, win ? as hurrying out to obi

The Hudson Super-Six Cabriolet
CO many of our customers have asked to
v~' be informed as soon as certain Hudson
enclosed types of their preference could be
assured of early delivery that we take the
first opportunity to announce such models
as will be available during the ensuing
month.
This list, of course, does not include Hud
sons that are promised for delivery this month
under firm order.
It does, however, include cars which have
been spoken for only tentatively, but which
are not reserved by definite order.
Therefore, we will have for delivery this
month in excess of our definite orders, the
following enclosed Hudson Models:
The Hudson Super-Six
Coupe
The Hudson Super-Six
Touring Limousine
2 HUDSON SUPER-SIX
2 HUDSON SUPER-SIX
1 HUDSON SUPER-SIX
2 HUDSON SUPER-SIX
All of these models except the Limou?
sine, which is exclusively a chauffeur
driven type, are great favorites with
owner-drivers.
And even people who are not par?
ticularly observant often remark the
great number of Hudson owners who
do their own driving. Men and women
who maintain chauffeurs are no excep?
tion. In fact, it is their evident prefer?
ence to take the wheel which most
frequently gives rise to the comment.
We doubt that any of Hudsons' more
than 100,000 owners would need to be
told the reason.
All Have Felt
This Appeal
For there is a delight in the com
mandership of a Super-Six wheel that

few are willing to relinquish. To know
it, means to yield to its spell. So
smooth the response to throttle and
wheel there seems no mechanical inter?
vention between the driver's desire and
its accurate execution by the Super-Six.
And so seldom is there any need for
adjustment, or repair that even a remoto
concern of such difficulty never intrudes.
Today, as for five years since its in?
troduction, the Super-Six outsells all
other fine cars. What other car is so
highly regarded by such a great fol?
lowing of owners? This good opinioa
is not assumed from the friendly atti?
tude of the few. It is made valid by the
only test we know?the desire of men
to possess Hudson qualities as shown
by the fact that the Super-Six has
always led fine car sales.
