The distinct value OF this service

its value in directing the motorist
how to go, after he himself has laid
out his tour. The service bureau
now tells him where to go and lays
out his contemplated trip complete,
giving him every essential detail that
he may desire. The new addition as
suredly makes the Blue Books a more
valua BILE asset to every motor tour
list than ever before.

tunity to place their products before
an open court where materials will be
Judged on their merits entirely. and

GERMANYS WONDERFUL
MILITARY MACHINE
By Horny Hyde IN chicago Tribune.

BY Henry Hyde in Chicago Tribune.
What In going on behind the fog
which shut down over Europe when
the German emperor declared war on
Russia? ~
what has happened since the gov
eminent seized the telegraph and cable
lines and cut the continent from the
rest Of the world?
What IL concealed by the thick veil
Of secrecy and silence? u. .y.
1t is possible to get some idea Of
what has taken place In Germany ~
least, where war has been made the
most highly organized business In the
world ...
Picture. in the first place, a little
country, only three-quarters as large
as the single state OF Texas. Pack into
II all the Inhabitants OF the United
States were damned into Texas, the
crowding would be only little more
dense.
Out from the war office in Berlin to
army depots all over the country goes
the order calling the men of the first
army reserve to the colors. That means
that 100000 young men, from % TO u
years old, must instantly stop their
work, lay down their tools, quit their
families and report at a given hour
and at given place for active duty
under arms.
$4,000 Ready in Peace.
Already, on q peace footing, there
are $4,000 men in the barracks. The
men OF the first reserve, all Of whom
have had at least two years OF military
training. viii bring the number up to
nearly 1,250,000 trained soldiers,
On the same day cards of a different
color have been sent out all over the
empire calling to the army depots the
500 900 additional men of the landwehr,
or second line army. They range In
age from q to 80 years and are also
men who have q thorough military
training.
Here are already 100000 trained
soldiers ready for action, and OF the
total number not more than one or two
in 1000 are unable TO read or write.
In case Of great emergency, such as
the present. orders also will be issued
for the mobilizIng of the landsturm,
or home guard. consisting Of all former
soldiers between the ages Of 80 and As.
Business Gives Way.
Business-except the great business
Of war-will have already largely
stopped. The government has seized
not only the telegraph and cable lines.
but II has taken possession also OF all
the railroad lines. Ordinary freight
and passenger service Is entirely dis
continued. The usual train schedule Is
simply thrown away. In its stead q
schedule OF war trains, carefully pre-
pared and ready in the war office, is
put into effect.
After an army Is modified 1t must
concenetrate as quickly as. possible at
the points from which 1t can most
speedily strike a crushing blow at the
enemy. How quickly that may be de-
ponds entirely on how rapidly troop
and supply trains can be run over the

factory in st. Louis with electricity
than 1t does If the factory had moved
to the city by the dam. A few cents
more per kilowat hour made little DIFF
ference to Missourians in the business
Of manufacturing, ."t" a#
Burlington, 40 miles above Keokuk,
contracted for several thousand
horse" so did Fort Madison. In all,
something like $4,000 horse power OF
the first DEVELOPMENT OF 10000 horse
power has been sold. 81
The st. Louis company that bought
up the vast amount of energy on a 80
year contract, received first power at
ter Stone & Webster corporation had
built its transmission line at a cost OF
81 500, 900, g. little short OF year ago.
OF the full output OF power, KeokulS
used something like 1000 horse power.
The city has its factory locations, its
boosters and inducements the same as
many others of its size in the country.
Not One Went There.
Keol<uk points to conditions with but
one comment, that not a single factory
large or small, has been attracted to
the city since the great bulk OF con-
crete was thrown across the Mis-
sissippi. lL1
New town planning and industrial
sections were completed at q cost OF
thousands. The situation strikes one
something like this: Adolphus Busch,
the famous st. Louis brewer made his
money in st. Louis, but when 1t came
to a matter of living there he protested.
pointed to the place as one unfit for
residence and built himself mansion
at a California watering place. So
have his posterity. H..
The simile is this: Keokuk serves up
more power than any other city I'm the
world unless it's Niagara, but when 1t
comes to a matter OF getting factories
to live" here. they prefer the way OF
lance to enjoy the fruits Of modernism
and transmitted power.
Yet Keokuk is not the only town in
the universe that is holding the sack
and there's q deal OF satisfaction IN
that.
