The most important operations now

.entering about three points,
vichi, Molodechno and Dvinsk.
The struggle brought on by he new
German movements against Dvinsk has
oeen under way for several days. The
Germans are making a determined at
tack in the Dvina river region and have
pushed their lines to within a days
harch Of Dvinsk.
The city itself is not yet within the

have been taken there.

The enormous demands made on the

automobiles being produced each year

have given considerable thought aud
attention and many ways have been
worked out to utilize the last bit OF
space in the freight cars.

Is typical. From this big plant at De-
troit completed, motor cars are ship
ped five to the freight car This is
accomplished by virtually arranging

OLDS CO.'S FOREIGN
BUSINESS INCREASES

The Olds Motor Works of Lansing,
Mich. is one of the automobile conf
panies which has taken advantage OF
the shortage of cars in foreign coun-
tries, owing to the war, to expand
its foreign business and become firmly
established with its line on foreign
soil.
The automobile has proven TO be the
best means of transporting troops, and
practically the entire output OF Euro
mean factories has been taken over by
the contending armies. Consequently.
he foreign automobile dealer has been
forced to look for a new source OF
supplv and has turned to the Ameri-
,an manufacturer.
Ths Olds Company made its first
active bid for foreign business early
in July with the establishment of a
foreign department. AT that time
Oldsmobile dealers were established
only on the islands of Cuba, Porto
Rico and Hawai-.

Prisoners ON ROADS
State Gets Good Results
Out Of System Now Beyond

"The use of convicts on the public |

of hysterical wrangle into period of
actually successful accomplishment
and almost universal acceptation," !
stated p. stagg Within, whose new
course in practical penal problems at
Columbia University was recently an
nounced.
DR.. Within holds that the under
lying motive in convict road building
must be to secure the great efficiency
for the state out Of its possessions.
Both the convicts and the roads are
property of the state. and the working
of convicts upon the roads should
eliminate many elements of waste in
the administration of road and prison
departments.
The efficiency of the convict on
the road gang" he continued, differs
greatly in different gangs. There is
nc doubt in my mind that the appii-
cation of the efficiency records in use

even more perceptibly to raise the ef-
ficincy of convict labor.
Incentive must be created before
good work can be produced. Coop
any of us up in a stuffy, unsanitary
Jail for several months, arraign us
for trial amid the excitement of what
we misname as Justice. and then take
a few months of breaking our spirit
in prison surroundings and there is
little likelihood that the thing we call
ginger viii be very apparent. There
is definite need Of building-up If the
convict is to return to society and
make good.
"The great need" Dr. Within con.
cluded is for the foreman of a con.
vict road gang to throw his shoulder
to the task and inspire his gang with
the desire to be like him. The prob
lem lies in securing such men as fore
men OF the road gangs"

Carson's Appointment Surprise.
Sir Edward Carsons position in the
Cabinet has long been a peculiar one.
When the composition of the new coali-
tion Cabinet was announced last May,
of all the appointments none created
more surprise than that of Sir Edward
as Attorney General, TO succeed SIR
John A. Simon. Just year before, Sir
Edward, as the leader OF the Ulster
Unionists, bitterly opposed to Home
Rule in Ireland, had been Premier
Asquith's strongest political opponent.
His appointment 20 the coalition CAD
met was. therefore, everywhere hailed
as triumph IOr lnc oHiOHlstn ""N
bitter pill for the Prime Minister.
Perhaps no other man in Englisn
politics has been more in the limelight
during the last two years than sir
Edward. Long the champion OF Ulster
he became the idol of his people when
he led the fight against Home Rule IN
1919, and went so far as to raise an
army of II 900 volunteers in Belfast to
make war il listers wishes were dis
regarded. For many weeks in the spring
of 1914 IL seemed only a matter OF
DAYS before the Irish province would
revolt under the leadership of Sir Ed
ward. but compromises and concessions
DELAYED the outbreak until the Euro,
pean war began and with IL suspended
or swept away all internal strife.
The most notable cases with when
Sir Edward has had 20 deal since ms
incumbency of the Attorney General
shin have been the Board of Trades
inquiry into the sinking OF the Lust
tania, and the proceeding before the
nrize court for the condemnation OF
American meat cargoes which had been
seized by the British government on
the ground that they were destined ior
Germany.
