PRIVATE OWNERS
OFFER NAXWELLS
Willing to Transport Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force
in Mexico.

Owners of 14o Maxwell motor cars,
living in and around Ell Paso. Tex,
have banded together and have offered
their services and their cars to Cen
eral Pershing OF the United states
army, for use as he sees fit in any
movement of troops.
The motorists have all signed an
agreement to place their cars at the
disposal of the army Many of them
have expert knowledge of the roads
through northern Mexico. The cars
are all in shape for instant service.
While the roads of northern Mexico
are far from ideal, the country be-
tween Ell Paso and the populous dis
tricts of Chihuahua is such that motor
cars can travel almost anywhere, with
the occasional help Of a small crew OF
workmen who can smooth out the
toughest parts.
Motor Cars and Cavalry.
The securing of the mountains for
Villa is logically the function of cav
airy. This would leave the patrol Of
the roads and the movement on the
various Mexican towns along the line
TO infantry or the motoring contingent.
The Maxwell fleet is great enough to
provide swift transportation for 500
men and their marching equipment
a force probably large enough to do
anything except engage in a pitched
battle with a large, hostile army.
That the United States would fight
its next war in motor cars was pre-
dicted some time ago by Walter E.
Flanders, president of the Maxwell
company. 1t was this suggestion which
galvanized the Texas Maxwell owners
into concerted action under the lead
ership of the Buquor Motor company,
i'll Paso Maxwell distributors.

NET the facts on the operating cost
II before you buy any automobile.
Find out the truth before-not
after. And don't be satisfied with hear
say or salesman's claims. The price of
gasoline is high; so is oil and there is sure
to be an increase in the cost of all tires.
So, what you want is the car that will
give you most miles per gallon of gasoline,
per gallon of oil and per set of tires.

Hapsburgs trailed in the mud of pri- vate affairs, he has been singled out by fate for many disasters. Early in his reign France wrested from him the Italian provinces which he claimed. The Australian domination of Italy was ended, united into a single pow erful state. Italy is now striving to gain further territory at his expense. Ingloriously defeated by Prussia. he lost that supremacy in Central Europe which was the ancient heritage of the Eapsburgs, .and reduced to the posi- Tern kite. This alliance with his for mer enemy served for time to hold the grumbling empire together. but in the end it has involved the Aus- trian Kaiser in a war which Is more than likely to bring about the down. fall of his empire. Upon Francis Joseph's shoulders was placed the responsibi for the crisis of 1903, following the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. but later develop ments indicate that in this case the aged Emperor was but tool. To his determination to punish Serbia many writers have attributed the present war, but 1t is moro than likely that history will tell a different story. In forcing the issue which involved Eur ope in wholesale slaughter, there seems to be sufficient reason to be- lieve that Francis Joseph did not lead but. was pushed.

THE IMAM OF HYDERABAD.

The Nizam of Hyderabad. Premier Prince of the Indian Empire and one of the richest of the worlds potentates was born just half a century ago to- day. Last November it was reported that his attempts to stir up a holy war in India had resulted in his de- position, but this was later denied as without foundation. The Nixam. who is Mohammedan. although most of his subjects are Hindus. ts- sued a proclamation at the beginning sf the war calling upon his people to remain loyal to the British Grown. He followed this by contributing $2.- 100000 from his own strong box to defray the expenses of the First Hy- derabad Imperial Lancers and the Twelfth Deccan Horse, which were transported for service in Europe. Hyderabad is one of the richest states in India, with an area of S2.000 square miles and @ population of about 12.- o0o.o0o. The Nizam claims to be descended in the male line from Abou Bekr, the father of Ayesha, one of the wives of Mohammed, and who suc- ceeded the prophet as the head or Islam and the first of the long line Of caliphs. 1t is said that the Nizam has an annual income of ten million dollars, while his jewels. including the great Nizam diamond of 46o car ats. have been valued at fifty mill lions. While the deposition Of the Nizam. alleged to have taken place last autumn, has met with official de- piaI. it is known that Hyderabad has long been the center of disanection against British rule. and the head quarters of native agitators in the pay of the IGermans.

 But many of the country people have always run horse and car riage on a very inexpensive basis. They buy old horses and cheap or second hand carriages for trifiing sums The horses are fed in pastures without any payment in cash. Car riages are allowed to go unpainted and -unwashed.
 It costs but little to operate these outfits. Their owners are not proud they have no social pretensions, they are philosophicaliy content to jog along at five or six miles an hour. A freshly painted carriage would make their working clothes look dingy. They get lots of pleasure out of these homely and inexpensive rigs, ana their daily work Is facilitated py them.
 In this way a market is created TOT cheap and second hand vehicles, that tends to keep carriage makers busy. While fine turnouts are not very com mon nowadays. a good many people still love horsefesh, and demand handsome and substantial carriages. Tradespeople still make big use of horses and wagons for delivery ana trucking purposes. The average gro. cery boy is hardly fit to be trusted with the complicated mechanism or an automobile.
