MIR. Ford Still Has Them Guessing

Now that Henry Ford has increased his peace
offer from one TO ten million dollars, presume
few more evening newspapers will attack his noble
character and purpose They will endeavor TO ind
some hidden motive concealed beneath his tin
bonnet, but have my doubts about these editorial
writers being able to shake Mr. Ford's belief in his
stand for peace to discourage him.
Every wise business man in the world knows
that nothing works we'll a combination of
philanthropy and advertising The editorial writ
ers who have been attacking Mr.. Ford probably
forget that less than quarter OF century ago
this little man was hidden away in bicycle shop
in Detroit, unknown his own block save by
the boys who annoyed him in the evenings, when
he experimental in the open with his horseless
carriage.
From this humble start. he worked his way by
gradual stages to the largest producer of auto
mobiles in the world The story of his success
is almost unbelievable. He has held himself away
from the in his own line of business,
and has worked out his own problems quietly,
without ostentation or display and always with
wonderful result Now that he has attained

automobile speedway races is not real gold

,Ightlv padded Those who have followed me
plans Of the one dozen more speedways nave
doubtless noticed that the purses range from
5000 TO $4,000. But it appears that these hg-
ures are something like the enormous salaries that
theatrical managers pay TO their stars II IS more
or less stage money.
II this is So it is unfair TO the speedways when
are really going to offer genuine purses There is
not much doubt for example, about the $5OOOO
nurse which is advertised IN connection with the

track with a management possibly not so respon-
sible. should get equal benefit from advertising

These races are all sanctioned by the Contest
Board Of the American Automobile Association, and
Rule No 80 OF the Contest Board is designed TO
protect entrants in the matter Of prize money.
Generally the Contest Board requires the race pro-
noters 20 either put up certified check for the
prize money or furnish an acceptable guarantee

II is doubtful II there will be any way Of avoid

which should carry weight since it comes from
man of such wide experience.
lie says: when you driving a car never
allow anything to divert your attention for one
moment from the control of the machine and at
tention to the road ahead"
Mr. Batcheder was driving bride and bride
groom from the wedding ceremony to the station
when some one in his distracted his attention
from the road for about ten seconds, but just long
enough to permit the machine to show the bride
how easy it is for an automobile to climb a tree
when the driver is not looking.
The result of the demonstration the part Of
the machine was a hospital experience for every
member of the party and the upsetting of what
started out to be very enjoyable honeymoon.
During the coming year Mr.. Batchelder expects
to make about $50 good road speeches. in each one

advice, and if Tribune readers will take advantage
of it with this brief notice, they will not be COM

II the roads so bad that nobody could
travel in any direction, possibly the American
motor owner would wake up to the necessity Of
organizing and carrying an effective campaign
for the maintenance of the highways.
1t is not that every state has not improved many
miles of roads during the past decade, but in very
few Of the states have the people arranged an
adequate system of maintenance. The average mo-
torst has probably been laborng under the deluson
that the license fee which he pays for operating
his car upon the highway is all that is required to
pay for his share Of road upkeep. As matter OF
fact the license fee is merely drop in the bucket
and only a small portion Of il ever goes TO the pur-
pose to which he supposes IL is applied.
There are many things which the motorists
could do to sraighten out the situation, but 1t IS
safe to say that nothing will be done until pow
erful organization Is effected.

To Frisco by Fast Route.

Otto Nordbo, of Chicago, writes that he Will
shortly drive King from New York TO San
Francisco without eating. He has already tasted
thirty days, and the King company has naturally
assured him that it is no harder to drive King
car across the country than it is to sit at home in
his Morris chair and refuse food.
Mr.. Nordbo has, far know, selected a
very good for the experiment, and if he wishes
TO add interest to the demonstration We suggest
that he endeavor to make the trip without stopping
either for oil or gas. There a number of tire
manufacturers who are willing to assure him that
they can provide him with tires and tubes which
will need no attention along the road
In his determination to do without food Mr..
Nordbo is to be congratulated. We have received
reports Of the nature Of the food along transcon-
tnertal routes and are convinced that if these are
true Mr.. Nordbos stomach will be in very much
better shape when he arrives at the big exposition
than it would have been had he followed the con-
ventional habit of stopping at some of the hotels
between New York and Frisco.

The Motorist Is to Blame.

Every motorist you meet is highly ncensed about
the deplorabe condition Of the roads in all parts
of the country and even their harshest condemna-
ton does not fully express their Indignation at

But the question is, What are they going to do
about it? There two million motorists in the
United States, and they unquestionably have some
political influence. but they in the popular
state of unpreparedness like the rest Of the coun

They have no organization and no weapons to
fight with other than their tongues, which are
powerless in the present situation. 1t may seem

the continent in a specially built motor land yacht,
announces that he has passed Cleveland success
fully and expects TO reach the Pacific Coast on
schedule time He has not only been able to follow
the main roads, but has also made several detours
to visit scenic points of interest He urges his
friend to keep the news quiet, as he does not de-
sire any more publicity. He has been held up all
along the line by persons interested in his ad-
venture, and says he does not think there is
farmer between the Atlantic and Pacific along his
route who does not know that he is coming, and
he is besieged for autographs photographs and full

men who 90 in now will be in line for
early promotion.
In the present war in Europe, the
value of the motorcycle in actual SER
vice has astonished even the regular
army commanders Of the Old World,
and the War Department at Washington
is watching with interest this initial
movement in New York.
Our regular army officers have for
long time recognized the necessity for
trained motorcyclists, but Congress
has never provided the funds with
which to create this new branch of the
army. It would entail a greater ex-
pense on the government than could
be stood at this time. Every man must
be equipped with a thoroughly up-to-
date machine and this machine must
be supplied with various types OF side
car attachments, machine gun carriers,
tires, tubes and, Of course. provision
must be made for supplying them with
oil and gasolene.
The only way that a motorcycle
branch of the militia or regular army
could be established would be through
volunteer riders who own machines
suitable for actual field duty.
In the United States we have, &C
cording to the estimate of W. A. Dono-
hue, editor of Motorcycle illustrated"
about 400 900 motorcyclsts. New York
State is supposed to have about 5000
riders, and the twenty-odd factories
producing all kinds of motorcycles and
side cars have an annual production Of
10000 machines This has been in
creased far beyond the normal output

on National Guard Field Day at Van Cort-

that no attempt will be made at this
time TO muster them into the state
militia, but unquestionably this step
will be taken following the exercises
at Van Cortlandt Park on the 25tl.
after which time the motorcyclists Will
see how they can become part OF
the national guard and the military
authorities will have had opportunity
TO study the best plan for a perma-
nent. separate organization, which can
be maintained as unit OF the state
militia.
Il may not be possible to fully uni
form the men who volunteer for the
field day exercises, but Colonel Rea-
gan suggested that they equip them
selves with khaki trousers, puttees snc
either khaki coats or flannel shirts
such as arc worn by the militiamen.
Before the next meeting takes place
Lieutenant Perry and Captain Spencer
will have worked out complete details
Of the organization and settled upJn
suitable insignias TO be worn, probably
upon the arms.
Every man present on Wednesday
night signed an application blank Civ
ing his name, address, age. type of
machine he rides and previous expert
ence in military duty.
All motorcyclists, whether attached
10 clubs or not are invited by Cap
tain Spencer to attend the formal or
ganization meeting next Wednesday
night.

Makeup Of the Detachment.

At conference held between Col
onel Reagan, Lieutenant Perry and a
committee Of motorcyclists, following
the meeting last Wednesday night, it
was decided that the detachment shall
be composed Of squads of four men,
with a corporal in command of each
squad. Four squads will form q divi-
sion, commanded by a sergeant, NAH
ing thirteen men TO q division. Four
divisions will compose a company,
commanded by a lieutenant or a cap
tain. The detachment will probably be
commanded by either Captain Spencer
or Lieutenant Perry.
II is proposed to form at least one
company of side cars and these will be
assigned for hospital duty.
There will be one or two companies
Of scouts. and the rest of the detach-
ment will be composed of companies
Of motorcycle riders, which can be as
signed as companies to different COM
mands in the regular guard or sub
divided and utilized where they best
fit in for messenger, patrol or scout
duty.
There is ample room for this new
detachment in tho militia, and much
important work for it to do It is
Captain Spencer's desire to get together
six or eight companies for the field day
demonstration, and to follow this up
with a permanent organization which
will be large enough to supply the en-
tire state guard with motorcycles and
side cars.
II is a fine opportunity for the men
who realize the Importance Of the new
movement and who desire to eventually
get into the state guard to take hold
and work their way up in a new mill
tary unit, which is going to be one of
the most important branches of the
militia service not only in New York
but in every other state. The next few
years will see it grow into enormous
proportions.
Many officers will be needed, and the
