New Detroit Product Has
Been Eagerly Sought Be-
cause of High Standing
of the Makers.

The general curiosity as to the dis
position Of the local agency for Dodge
cars when they appear on the market
has been satisfied by the announcement
that the new make viii be handled here
by the Colt-Stratton Company, Eastern
distributors Of the Cole car There
have been many rumors as to the selec-
ton Of an agent and various names
have been mentioned since it was an
rouuced that Dodge Brothers would
place q car on the market.
The rivalry on the part Of dealers 10
represent the Dodge car has been IN
tense not only in New York but
throughout the country. As high as
thirty-one applications in single in
stance have been received from as many
dealers in one large city. Il is. there
fore. distinct compliment 20 the Colt
Stratton Company that II has been sue
ceSsful In getting the agency.
Dodge Brothers are widely known in
the automobile industry as the largest
manufacturers OF automobile parts in
the world They have supplied the
motors for more than 100000 of the
100000 Ford cars now in use in this
country. Because Of their manufacture
ing facilities, their high financial stand
ing and their wide experience in the
manufacture of parts i is generally eX-
DectCd that the car they Will market
this fall Will set a new standard in
automobile values.
The car has ,een called the "car Of
mystery because Of the fact that no
word has been given out as TO price,
dimensions or equipment. In spite Of
this fact the reputation Of Dodge
Brothers is such that the best dealers

Declare They Impose Too
Great Strain on Power
Plants of Standard
Type of Vehicles.

Inquiries addressed to members Of
the National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce regarding the desirability
and economy of using trailers with
standard motor trucks have been an
swered in detail by the following com
panies: Avery, Baker, Federal, General
Motors, Kissel. Locomobile, Packard,
Pierce Arrow, Speedwell, Velie, Waver-
ley and White.
The preponderancs Of opinion is de-
cidedly against the practice, except un-
der very favorable conditions, such as
level, smooth, hard roads, slow speed
and proper handling. Given such condi-
tions the standard truck may be used
successfully for hauling trailers, but
under no circumstances should trailer
be used without the consent Of the
manufacturer, ~ the guarantee does
not contemplate such use.
Under any other conditions the prac-
tice is Of very doubtful economy,
therefore truck manufacturers do not
they examine the field Of operation and
know that their trucks can handle the
work with trailers under the conditions.
The standard truck is designed for a
definite load and speed and AS a rule is
not rugged enough for this service,
which is most likely 20 be done outside
OF cities. where roads are poor and
grades steep.
For use as a tractor, the truck should
have q powerful engine, strong con-
struction throughout, especially liberal
bearing surfaces and a clutch that will
engage and start the load without a
Jerk. The horsepower developed and
the gear ratio should be proportionate
to the weight Of the vehicle and trailer
with loads.
Successful employment Of trailers,
except under unusually favorable con-
ditions, calls for the special construc-
tion of tractor trucks and Of trailers
designed for use with them. Such a
tractor should have at least five or six
possible speed changes, if gasolene
economy is 20 be maintained. An cleo
trio tractor requires increased battery
capacity.
Wagons and drays built for use with
motor trucks with some success, but
they are liable to shake to pieces soon
unless the speed is reduced so much
that there is little, if any, economy. As
they are built for a speed of abou. four
miles an hour and road shocks are in
creased as the square of the speed, they
cannot long resist the jolts and rack
ing over rough roads at eight TO ten
miles an hour. Moreover, the bearings
cannot be fabricated properly at these
higher speeds, and they quickly wear
out.
To obtain durability and efficiency
trailers must be built with the same
type of bearings and sturdy construc-
ton as the tractors, although the
trailer does not need to be built so
heavy as the truck.
The demand is for combination Of
truck and trailer that will haul from
ten to twelve tons. A good fourwheel
trailer, to carry five tons, weighs about
/ half as much as a tive-ton truck; that

is. two tons or more. The trailer should
be as light as possible, however, con
sistent with the load 70 be carried, the
maximum speed 70 be attained and
rough road conditions. Although the
weight and capacity Of the trailer
should be dependent upon the relation
Of the engine power 10 the weight,
speed and capacity Of the truck, the
trailer should not have a load capacity
exceeding that Of the truck itself
In Massachusetts,, New York and
Maryland the permissible maximum
weight Of vehicles and load is $4,000
pounds; in New Jersey IL is $4,000
pounds. and in Pennsylvania $4,000
pounds. Consequently, a combination
Of truck and two-wheel trailer weighing
only 10000 pounds empty could not
carry total load Of more than nine
tons in the first three states named,
nor more than eight tons in New Jer-
sey and seven in Pennsylvania. A four
wheel trailer. however, probably would
be considered a separate vehicle.

the line. because" as William /. Colt
says, cit is inconceivable that con-
Germ of the character of Dodge Brothers
should manufacture q car that would
not play q very large part in establish
ing automobile values for the future
The Colt-Stratton Company has made
for itself an enyiable record during the
last five years as Eastern distributors
for the Cole. and 10 hardly comes as
surprise TO the general automobile pub
lie that Dodge Brothers should have
selected this firm after having investi-
gated with great care and particular
attention the various dealers i'm auto

CARS FOR ROAD MAKERS
California Commissioners Will
Use Three Cadillacs.

Further public recognition Of the
Cadillac comes from California. where
the highway COMM sioncrs have jus.
purchas cd three of these GAYS for use
in inspection Of highway surveys. Al
most at the same time the state COM
missioners made their choice the COM
missioners of Riverside County
bought a Cadillac for similar work over
their new highways
In California the Cadillac's reputa-
ton for hard service is being enhanced
almost daily by the new applications
for membership in the 5O,O00-mile club.
One of the most notable instances is
that If q laundry company in Pasadena
which owns a Cadillac with d record
OF 10000 miles and still in service.
Even this is exceeded by cars in the
nanus Of two private owners in Pasa-
dena. One Of these has gone $4,000
miles and the other $4,000 miles; they
are both on the 20 every day.

GRIM REALITIES OF THE BATTLEFIELD

LONDON, October 12.-People OF this
generation have never before seen real
war. and they have hard time realiz-
ing VIVA, II means. True. they have
read histories OF the wars OF years
ago. but II Is hard for The average
reader to grasp the difference between
history and fiction, as far AS realizing
the actual conditions In concerned
Consequently. the people now living
are obtaining their first realization of
the grim realities of the war, from tales
told by the wounded now arriving In
England, and the letters sent back by
the men at the front.
Through the letters Of soldiers at the
front to their friends, and from the
lips OF those who have returned home
wounded. many glimpses or the battle,
field are being obtained. Unhapplly,
there are too many independent but
corroborative statements OF Shameless
brutnlitiea by the enemies. not only
against men In arms, but against the
wounded and women and children
Private Lewis Downs, OF the ROYAL
Munster Fusiliers, who WAS one OF the
British soldiers present at tho battle
OF Mons in the nine days fight, states
that the endurance and courage OF every
member of the British forces enghg cd
were astounding 10 the enemy. Every
officer and man entered into the light
with the greatest OF enthusiasm. the
various regiments singing their par
ticular popular songs
Danger" said Private Downs, "is
not thought OF. II was unknown at
Mons. The loud reports and sudden
flashes. like IN approaching Storm
simply spurred every man OH to greater
effort, and when shot we felt no pain,
only numbness. Whenever we got
into close quarters the Germans howlcd
and ran like dogs before our bayo-
nets. They are driven into battle like
sheep by brutal officers. and their dis
graceful conduct is mos. revolving"
He assured an interviewer from per-
sonal experience that women and chill
drcn were placed before the German
battalions and that he knew of several
instances where the young women were
outraged by drunken German officers
and then stripped and paraded In the
streets. II they offered much Resistance
their breasts and ears were cut OFF by
the sword and when men (unarmedl
demonstrated at such hellish torture,
they were shot like rate.
The general impression in the
lighting area" he said, els that the
Austrians and Germans are aware Of
ultimate defeat, and intend TO do their
worst till then. Everywhere the Brit
ish soldiers go they are heartily re-
ceivcd. Every man is in high spirits,
and the earnest wish of the wounded
is for quick recovery to return at the
