Lost in the Marina,
Arrives at Norfolk

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 2.-Reported lost
on the British steamer Marina which
was sunk by a German submarine off
the coast of ireland on the afternoon of
October 2S, George Rodgers, of Ocean
View, who shipped as horseman, arriv-
ed in Norfolk yesterday.
Rodgers shipped as a horseman on the
Marina when she left Newport News for
Europe late in September. He arrived
In Baltimore last Thursday. Rodgers
said that the Marina had a gun mounted
on the after deck at the time she was
torpedoed by the German U-boat, and
that the fire was not returned because
the young British gunner on duty be-
came panicky when the torpedo struck
and left his post. Rodgers says two
torpedoes struck the Marina and that
the crew of the submarine stood on their
craft and laughed at them.

In Syria Wiping Out
Soldiers 1000 a Day
(By Associated Press.O

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-SoIdiers of the
Turkish army in Syria are dying from
typhus feverWat the rate of 1000 day,
according to a dispatch from that coun-
try given out Saturday by the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief. In addition to famine. epidemics
of both typhus fever and cholera are
sweeping over Syria. the dispatch says.
THE type Of cholera is mild. but the
typhus fever is a sudden. fatal kind
which spreads so rapidly that many
houses swiftly are depopulated by it,
the message said. Its havoc among
the tribes is indescribable. 1t is not
confined to any one region, but extends
from Aleppo ION the northern border
of the Arabian desert), to the Ariah
river on the Egyptian border. The doc
tors have not attempted to combat it
as there are no drugs or remedies in
the country"
The committee announced that it has
increased it's orders for drugs and
chemical supplies to be sent on the
naval collier Caesar, leaving here for
Beirut this month, but adds that there
is imperative need of the speedy send
ing of more adequate material with
which to fight the epidemics.

MONTANA WHOLESALERS OF
STUDEBAKER ORDER
1000 CARS.
Have Sold 800 Cars Since January
l; Expect Big Business During
Coming Year; Shoemaker and Ste
venson Moving Spirits.

Here is y Montana wholesale au-
tomobile house which has disposed of
500 Studebaker cars the first of the
year, and has it's order in for 1000
additional automobiles. 1t is new
concern, too, and while it's achieve
ment sings of the energy and effort
back of it, it also is an indication of
the extraordinary business conditions
which make such an achievement pos
sible.
The firm that has made this rec
ord is the Automobile Warehouse and
Service company, with headquarters in
Billings, and wholesale depot in Great
Falls, retail branches in Billings, Mis-
soula, Lewistown and Havre, and with
more than SIS dealers in other towns
assisting in the distribution of cars.
Stevenson and Shoemaker.
The moving spirits of this big
scheme Of distribution are L. C. Ste
venson, general manager, who makes
his headquarters at Billings, and
James A. Shoemaker, treasurer, who
looks after the Northern Montana
branch at Great Falls. Mr.. Stevenson
has long been connected with the Stu
dcbaker company. Until recently he
was assistant manager of the Mime
apolis agency of the Studebaker, in
which position he handled the whole
sale distribution of number of west
ern states, including Montana. He
knows every end of the automobile
selling game.
Mr.. Shoemaker is an old time Mon
tanan. He has been active in the
business and political life of the state
for many years. He served Lewis and
Clark county as sheriff, has been a
member of the legislature, and I'M
til he went into the automobile bust
ness had charge of the Glacier Nation
al park business of the Great North
erm. Few men in the state enjoy as
wide an acquaintance as he.
Prepare for Big Business.
"We look for an unprecedented de-
velopment in the automobile business
in Montana for the coming year,
said Mr.. Shoemaker eve are pre-
pairing for it and our initial order with
the Studebaker company is for 1000
cars. over 400 of which have been sold
in advance.''
The Studcbaker car has been add
vanced in price, from $50 to $500, on
account of the sharp advance in the
price of materials. The highest figure
applies to the "1S" series, which will
be placed ON the Market about Deem

Lethbridge.-Fifty thousand acres

Of Sir Roderick Cameron. who was

small tracts.

Another important thing to be
watched is the battery, which should
be fully charged to get the best re-
suits. Go over the wiring system and
see to it that all connections are in
good condition. Test the battery with
hydrometer once each week to keep
the plates covered. AS most cars
nowadays are equipped with starters,
it is Of the utmost Importance to see
that the starting mechanism is in
good shape. The electric starter
should not be too severely taxed in
cold weather. The motor should al
ways be primed through the pet cocks
provided for the purpose. This may
be done by having a small can of gas
oline handy and squirting little in
on the top of each cylinder. The
starting motor never should be run
more than 30 seconds at time. When
primed, the starter should turn the
motor over within 10 or IL seconds
at the most.

make this show the greatest exhibi-
ton of this kind ever occurring in the
middle west. There are more than 40
different makes of automobiles being
sold in Montana and every manufac-
turer is expected to be represented at
the show. Substantial assurances
have been received from many of the
men behind the bio companies that
make the automobiles that the Mon
tana association can expect cordial
support from the manufacturers.
1t was this talk of the support of
the manufacturers which brought out
a statement regarding the magnitude
Of the automobile trade in the state.
According to one speaker at the or
ganization meeting, $4,000 automobile
licenses have been issued during the
past year, or are now in effect. A
year ago the automobile licenses TO-
tailed $4,000. The figures of this year
show an increase of 1000 licenses,
making $4,000 in all. The increase
indicates the number Of licenses issued
for new cars purchased this year. The
selling price of these cars will aver
age $3.50 each, which gives total well
over 100000.
