HOLLAND KEEPS
ARMY READY FOR
INVASION COUNTRY
(By Associated Press.)

THE HAGUE, Feb. 6.AMartial
scenes without the horrors of war are
still as frequent in Holland as in any
of the ,bellgerent countries, notwith-
standing that the Netherlands are abb
solutely neutral. The Dutch army,
was, in fact, the first to mobolize and
since the beginning of European hos
tilities the streets of its cities and its
country roads have swarmed with
armed men proceeding to or from
their barracks and their manoeuvring
grounds. The cafes, the restaurants,
the theatres, the clubs and other pub
rlic gathering places are crowded every
day with men in uniforms. ~.
I The cost of all these preparations
for the defense of the country against
a possible attempt to commit breach
of its determined neutrality is horne
almost with equanimity by the people,
as was evidenced by the over-sub-
aseription of the recent Government
! Dan, Diminution of trade has follow
d in, the wake Of the war outside
Dutch, boundaries. This has been due
principally to the embargo placed on
he expectation of various articles and
o the difficulty of obtaining coal,
much of which was imported from
Germany, the figures showing that
only 264, 919 freight cars crossed the
Dutch German frontier last year as
compared with 337,26S in 1918. Coal
imports we're reduced from 1876
car loads in 1918 to 9S27S car loads

AMER|CUS G|RL|ES TROUNCE
ALBANY TEAM IN CLOSE CAME

The Girls High school basketball
team handed the Albany girls team a
10 to 9 lose last night in their game
here. The Americas team out-classed
the visitors all the way and despite
the close score, played rings around
their opponents.
The first half of the game was close
and ended a to 3 tie In the second
Americas got started and managed 10
get away with the victory. Both teams
showed considerable class in their
passing and advancing the ball. The
close score was partially due to the
fact that both teams employed the
same tactics in their efforts to win the
game.
The entire Americas squad acquitted
themselves like old heads at the game.
The forwards, Elizabeth Davis and Eu-
genia Parker, were fast and steady
players and their goal shooting was a
feature. Anna Murray at center out
classed her heavier opponent and got
the ball on the jump-off most of the
time. At guards, Lois McMath and
Mary Glover behaved like seasoned
players. The forwards that played
against them found that they had a
ough job cut out for them, when it
came to getting away from the Nc
Math-Glover combination.
The Albany team played a good, con-
sistent game, but was not in the class
of the Americus team. The game was
clean and devoid of unnecessary foul
ing, although both teams played a
fast, snappy game.
The largest gallery of fans that has
ever attended a game in Americas was
out to help the locals win. Their en-
thusiasm was unbounded and the Y. NJ

Haynes Factory Obliged
to Put Up Tents For Cars

During the three weeks following
the announcement OF the new 1915
Haynes Light Six cars at the new
prices, 2642 orders for immediate de-
livery have been placed at the fac
tory" states c. E. Holm, of Roberts &
Six.
"Over 900 of the 1915 chassis have
been crowded out of the assembly de-
partment on account of the increased
production and are parked in large
tent on a five-acre tract adjoining the
factory. Every department has been
running overtime for the past eight
months. New departments have been
AIDED to take care of the increasing
demand for cars. Steering gears,
mufflers, clutches and crowned Tenders
are now being made in the Haynes fac
tory.
Every available inch of factory
space is crowded to the limit. Much
machinery is in operation in the open
under temporary roofs. A new loading
platform has been erected to facili-
tate shipments. Adjoining ground has
been purchased and additions are un-
der way. A new administration build
ing is being erected.
The unprecedented demand has
brought about such an expansion of
business that the Haynes Automobile
Company is now the largest manufac-
turer of automobiles in the State of
Indiana, which State is second only to
Michigan in it's production of cars.
Five thousand Haynes cars were built
for the 1915 season and entirely sold
by April /. A minimum of ten thou
sand Haynes cars will be built during
the 1916 season. The Light Six mod
els, having the same six cylinder
motor used during the 1915 season,
will be produced exclusively"

To Search Death Valley
For New Ore Deposits

In an effort to verify the report of
the findings of an immense body of
ore in the heart of Death Valley,
California. o. X. Parker. a we'll
known engineer of Los Angeles, with
party of assistants, has just left
that city. to tour through Death VAL
ley by motor car.
According to the statements of sew
eral prospectors, recently returned
from Death Valley, large quantities
of molybdenite, an ore very little
known in metallurgy, have been dis
covered in that section Molvbdenite,
by new process of refininN can be
incorporated in steel to make the lat
ter infinitely stronger and lighter than
any metal heretofore discovered by
metallurgists. With the present trend
toward lightness in the construction
of motor cars. the new ore would be
of inestimable value to the automo-
bile industry, and the Los Angeles en-
gineers will investigate the region
thoroughly before returning.
H. L. Arnold, of Los Angeles, has
sold a Dodge Brothers touring car
for the trip into the Valley, and II is
expected that the car will be subject
ed to a terrific test in the desert re-
gions Entering Death Valley the
motorists will encounter every ex-
treme of weather and road conditions,
ranging from the climb of six noun
tain ranges averaging over mile
high, to the bottom of the Valley,
which is 800 feet below sea level.
