5000 Armed Autos to Cost
SIS, 100000 to Be Made
in U. S. for Allies, Report

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, Sept.
26.-Charles M. Schwab has secured
$5,000,000 contract from Russia and
France to furnish 5000 armored and
gun mounted motor trucks for use in
the war, according to a rumor here.
A factor in the rumor has been the
presence here for a few days of nearly
two-score of representatives from the
leading automobile manufacturers in
this country.
Nearly two dozen big motor trucks
of all shapes, sizes and makes have
been brought here, and yesterday
there was a general demonstration on
the high-grade roads of Sayre Park
at Lehigh University. A better place
could not be found to test the powers
of the trucks motors, for Sayre Park
is located on Old South Mountain and
at it's top is nearly 900 feet above sea
level
At the Bethlehem Steel Works high
officials would not give out anything
of the alleged contract because of
orders of the state department that
industrial concerns receiving orders
from European countries engaged in
war should avoid publicity as far as
possible. 1t is understood that the In
ternational Motor Truck Company
will receive an order for nearly 200 OF
the motor trucks, to be supplied from
their plants in Allentown, Pa, and

who were bound for Buenos Aires by
way of Manchester. Mr.. Roosevelt
said that his mission in Buenos Aires
was to open a branch of the National
City Bank. His sister, Mrs Richard
Derby, was also a passenger aboard
the Olympic. Mrs. Derby accom-
panied her husband, physician, on
his way to Paris, where he will do
war hospital work. He said that she
would probably help as a nurse. Six
other surgeons who reported to the
call of DR.. Joseph A. Blake, the
American surgeon in charge of the
American hospital corps attending
wounded soldiers In Paris hospitals,
also were on the Olympic.
The sailing of the French steam
ship Virginie, originally set for to-
day, was postponed until Monday.
No transatlantic liners were due

instances to which you refer and,

the rates of interest charged, If there

DEFENDS CONDUCT
OF JAP SOLDIERS
Toxic Declares Report of Out
RACES in Shantung Ma
Iicious Canard.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-The Jap
anese embassy today issued the fol-
lowing statement based on official re-
ports from Toxic:
Recent cablegrams from China can
only be credited with grain of salt.
There are sinister efforts now being
used in China, as elsewhere, to give
color to domestic newspaper REPORTS
and kilograms going abroad. Ground
less reports designed to cast a slur
on the reputation Of the Japanese SOL
diers are thus more or less dissemin-
ated.
1.-THE alleged ruthless conduct of
Japanese troops in Shantung, said to
be contained in a letter coming from
Laichau, is nothing more or less than
a malicious canard.
"a dispatch addressed to the Shang-
hal Mercury by foreigner living in
Pingtu says in part:
1.-The rigid discipline Of the Japan
ese army and the decorum of the
rank and file are simply laudable.
After the landing of Japanese troops,
the citizens are at ease and markets
are calm. As to Chinese women, the
Japanese are taking scrupulous care
not to annoy them in any wise. The
Japanese soldiers are received every
where with hearty welcome
I'm fine, the Japanese soldiers are
living up to their reputation as estab-
lished at the time of the Russian
Japanese war and the Boxer troubles
The strictest maintenance of military
discipline and the utter abstention
from unnecessary molestations are
their code of behavior"
