May Put Son on Throne.
The occupation of Warsaw now is
centering attention on a series of inn
portant events that are being ar
ranged. First will be the selection of
a German governor. Reports indicate
the appointee will be a German prince.
possibly a son of the German emperor
or an Austrian archduke, possibly
Archduke Karl, who will be vested
with authority akin to that which Ma
poleon gave to his brothers and to
his marshals as kings of occupied ter
ritory. Berlin reports a council to be
held Sunday to formulate a proclama-
ton declaring Poland to be a semi
autonomous state. under joint Polish
and Austro-H Hungarian rule. This con-
forms with a recent decision Of a Pol
ish congress held at PiotrkoW, Rus
sian Poland, which proposed a joint
Polish army and the fullest Polish au-
tonomy consistent with the strategic
interests Of Austro-Hungary.
The German offer of autonomy is
regarded as a bid for the support of
he population of Poland as against a
similar declaration OF Emperor Mich
ola promising eventual Polish auton-
omy under Russian suzerainty. The
outcome Of these events IL Warsaw
probably will determine the political
status Of Poland during the war.
Future Course Unknown.
What the Germans will do next in a
military way after attempting to COM
plete their enveloping movement Is a
matter of much speculation. II the
theoretically pushed there is the pos
sibility Of the present victories being
undone, while IL an offensive in the east
is continued, the Germans face the
rigors and dangers of a winter cam
paign in Russia.
Conservative students here think 1T
will result In a compromise. in which
the Germans will withdraw part OF
their eastern army. leaving enough men
to maintain and secure the defensive
positions when they have dug them
selves in.

throughout the cities and suburban

The smaller firms formerly held to
the idea that the motor truck was
only practical for the larger concerns,
but they have now broadened their
views, lost that business timidity, and
are purchasing trucks as a matter of
economy and expansion of trade.
The responsibility of the manufac-

which are based the claims for econ

vital considerations by the purchas-

Many owners of International motor
trucks report their experience in pene-
'trating extreme conditions of roads,
such as deep mud, heavy snow drifts
such as are considered almost i'm
