I'm four years Kansas alone lost TO-

these, almost thrcefourths are owned

day. instead of the forty or hf,y they
were forced TO keep a few years ago
Automobiles. motor trucks and gaso-

rope undoubtedly will upset the calcu-
lations of many in the motor industry
who have counted on a big export bust
ness for the season of 1915. The
American car was just beginning TO
secure a foothold in Europe, and
Yankee manufacturers were finding
that they could give competition to
their rivals across the water Even if
the war is short lived. the effects still
would be disastrous. and it will take
several years for American manufac-
turers to get back TO where they were

But there is no great loss without
some small gain. and IL Europe is
closed as a market TO US still there
remains South America. the Antipodes
Japan and other countries where
Americans now will have a clear field
with the competition of the European
manufacturers removed. This oppor-
tunity undoubtedly will be taken ad-
vantage or and the motor products Of
the United States ought to be firmly
entrenched in these far-off lands be-
tore European peace is declared
The war also will have its effects on
