Los Angeles Times: Denunciat1ons

education and enlightenment are more
general than they are at this Wrltlhs.

ARMORED AUTOMOBILES.
Woodland Democrat: The armoreo
train is only the crude precursor OF the
Independent armored automobile. Tne
time is probably not far distant wnen
armed and armored AUTOMOBILES,
equipped with abundant power
protected by nickel-steel plates
like those of a warShip, and
carrying batteries of the most de-
structive character, will sally at pleas

made by the trust of 1915 per cent. in
order to meet the competition from this

able to so crush out opposition as to
