Mr.. Roper mentioned the American
Surety Company Of New York, which is

Preparing in Peace Times.

I'm a nutshell" said Mr.. Daniels, the
course proposed is to do in time of
peace, quietly, efficiently and thorough
ly, the very things which all of us
know must be done to achieve true
preparedness and thus prevent tremen-
dous losses in lives and money possible
if they are postponed until an outbreak
of hostilities.
in short, it is proposed, through the
utilization of the membership Of these
societies. to oil up the great wheels of
industry and keep them turning in the
interest of the government, prepared
at any and all times to speed up In
time of need.
while preparedness Of plants to fur
nish supplies for war is the most i'm
portant step. 1t is the one heretofore
least thought of. as shown by the con-
dition of certain countries at the be-
ginning of the present European war"

Mr.. Post Willing to Cooperate.

George a. Post, president of the Rail-

ed the President that his organization
is willing to cooperate in this work in
every way possible. Other associations
of business and professional men will
be asked to help. The administration
wants at its command complete in
ventory of all the agencies needed by
the nation should it go to war.
The organizations asked by the Pres
ident to appoint representatives to aid
in collection of mobilization data in
clude those that nominated members
for the naval consulting board, which
has appointed a committee to help in,
carrying out the Presidents plan.

larry fitted to perform this class Of
work in an Intelligent and disinterested
manner"

completed, machinery will be set going
which is expected to place in the hands
Of the government complete informa.
ton regarding business and industrial
resources which would have to be
called to the assistance of the army
and navy in time of war.
When the President addresses the
Railroad Business Association banquet
in New York january 81 he is expect
ed to refer to the ACCESSIBILITY of having
the railroads and concerns which man
ufacture railroad supplies cooperate IN
the general mobilization plans. the
Army War College already has in its
possession much data necessary for the
proper movement of troops over rail-
roads in time of war, but the admin
istration desires the active assistance
of railroad executives and manufacture
ers in completing this fund of informa-
ton and keeping it lid to date.

ing that you possessed the stamina of it's single
driver, the journey was one which you your
self might take if you were so inclined.
But, because of the terrific speed almost
continually sustained, it involved, of course,
hardships to man and car of an unprecedented
character
What it proves Of Cadillac stability and
endurance is aptly illustrated by comparison
between the Cadillac cross-continent record
and the railroad schedule between the two
cities.
distance covered by the one Cadillac was 1871
miles.
In the regular railroad schedule between
Los Angeles and New York, in spite of smooth
tracks, solid road-bed and clear right-of-way,
a relay of twenty-five locomotives is called
into action.
Consider, now, the almost miraculous en-
durance of the car, handicapped a hundred
times over in the matter of road-bed, yet it
travelled its distance without so much attention
to its motor as the cleaning of spark plug.
Its rate of travel ranged from only miles
per hour, plowing through hub-deep mud, to
6S miles per hour on smooth stretches.
The railroad schedule is 90 hours-and the
Cadillac cut 81 hours and % minutes off the
previous motor car record made by the same
driver in another make Of car.
The Cadillac left Los Angeles at 2Of
A. M. Monday, May 8th, and arrived in New
York City at 2:53 P NJ Monday, May 18th,
with intervals for food and sleep.

SUGAR FAMINE IN
FRANCE RELIEVED

Paris, June 24.-Two hundred tons
of American granulated sugar dis
tributed daily to retail grocers in
Paris has relieved tension that was
becoming acute, particularly because
of the Importance OF sugar in the
Frenchmans morning coffee.
When the government recently in
tervened and fixed a maximum retail
selling price of one franc 20 centimes
la kilogram for sugar equivalent to
IL cents pound), stocks became In
visible and the retail grocers began
refusing to deliver sugar. that they had
bought at franc so in the expecta-
tion of further rise. The housewives
and cooks parried the maneuver by
tea, coffee, and other things they had
bought In case the grocer had been
bluffing, he produced the sugar rather
than to lose q customer.
Now there is plenty of granulated
sugar to which Paris is unaccustomed,
preferring the cut Jumps. but which
is gaining in favor.
simultaneously with the distribu-
tion of granulated sugar the authori-
ties are moving against the whole
sale dealers. A police ordinance re-
quires the declaration at police head
quarters of all quantities of sugar
held by any person or association OF
persons in excess of 500 pounds; 1t al
SO warns all dealers that over bidding
the official price. spreading Of false
reports about stocks and attempted
combinations, pools, or corners, shall
be vigorously punished by fines of 300
francs minimum and 10000 maximum.

purposes of compensation to be ap-
piled to all members Of a train and
