FEDERAL MOTOR
TRUCK COMP ANY
PLANS BIG YEAR

While the manufacturing facilities
of the Federal Motor Truck Company
have been doubled during the past
year, plans are already under way to
construct another large assembling
plant that production may be further
increased during 1917. according to M.
u. Pulcher, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the motor truck COM
pany.
1--WE were of the opinion that our
new addition would be sufficient for
some time" said Mr.. Pulcher today
while discussing his plans for the new
construction work But SO great has
been the demand for Federal trucks
from our dealers, that it has become
imperative that we make way for a
much increased production at Aonce.
For THIS reason we are preparing
plans for another large building, and
ground will be broken and the struc-
ture completed by early in the spring.
while the production of the Fed
eral now ranks among the largest OF
the motor truck companies OF THE
United States, our new manufactur-
ing facilities will bring the Federal
to the very forefront. This is indeed
gratifying to the Federal company be-
cause it shows that our trucks are
appreciated by Federal owners, and
this statement has been proven by
the fact that 62 per cent of all sales
OF Federal trucks are made to manu-
facturers, jobbers, farmers. and bust
nessmen who already own Federal
trucks. In other words, almost two
thirds of the Federal orders are re-
peat orders"
Mr.. Pulcher, says that the Federal
company has been handicapped to
some extent during the last few weeks
by shortage of freight cars and It
has been necessary in many Instances
to drive the Federals overland TO
dealers who were particularly anxious
that they should receive prompt de-
livery.

ARMY OFFICERS
BELIEVE MOTOR
TRUCK VALUABLE

Though cartocnists sn1 humorists
are nov having more or less fun with
the war In Mexico United States
army officers take IL seriously be-
cause il has revealed many lessons OF
value. one of them being the adapt
ability OF motor trucks TO conveyance
OF troops. Interest in this method Of
transportation has been intensified
lately by the splendid performance of
fleet Of Packard trucks under COM
mand of Capt. o. L. BrunZell over
the longest trip ever made by truck
train in the regular army.
The journey began at FL Psso and
ended at Fort Sill, Okla, 1895 miles
distant The actual running time was
1872 hours, IL minutes, elapsed time
rs 10 days. Washouts and floods con-
verified miles of roads into quagmires
causing many delays and long de-
tours. The trucks even had to carry
heavy bridge material to brace UP tot
tering structures.
The first stage extended from FL
Paso to Fort Sam Houston, CTS miles,
II was made in 129lz hours actual
running time and ~ days elapsed
time. Near Fort Hancock a stretch
of road three-fourths of mile long
was from two to five feet deep un-
der mud and water and it had to be
corduroyed all the way. An average
.of 56.5 miles per day was made de-
spite. the many difficulties encounter
ed.
On the second stage from Fort Sam
Houston to Fort Sill, the trucks ran
into a cold, binding blizzard, making
travel not only uncomfortable but
hazardous. The distance of sos miles
was negotiated in only So hours and
40 minutes actual running time.
Elapsed time was six days, seven and
one-half hours. The average daily
travel was "a miles.
Every Packard finished the long,
hard journey in remarkably good con-
dition. Only few repairs were ne
cessary on the way and fine record
for gasoline economy, five miles to
the gallon, was made, though there
were many miles OF road far from the
conditions on which good results
could be obtained

cars arrive. and they are coming at
the rate of ten carloads day.

MAKES
RECORD in run
ACROSS country

Had not sleepy ferryman insist
ed on his regular sheep. plus forty
winks and beauty nap, p G. Scull
and G. W. Tuthill would have driven
across the continent from Newark,
" j.. to Los Angeles in five days and
sixteen hours of actual running time
in a 1917 Maxwell.
The two men started from their
home in Newark on a transcontinen-
tai run for the purpose of testing and
advertising brand of Texas oil and
gasoline. They carried in the tonneau
Of their car $50 pounds Of this oil and
gasoline in order to make the entire
run on the materials they were adj
yertising.
The time consumed on the whole
journey, including stops for meals, an
occasional sleep and an eight-hour de
lay at the Missouri river, where fer.
ryman refused to come across until
his regular hour, was ten days and
sixteen hours.
During the entire journey it was
rot found necessary to remove or
clean spark plug in the Maxwell and

was delivered to Los Angeles.
The run is all the more remark
able, because of the bad roads en-
countered in the middle west "Espe-
cially in Illinois did we find poor
roads," said Mr.. Scull. These roads.
are almost hub deep in gumbo mud
FOR miles and miles and are disgrace
to an otherwise beautiful state. The
New Mexico roads were not muddy,
but are badly in need of the applica-
ton of the talents of first-class
chain gang. They are very rocky and
Tough, hard to drive over and bad on
tires"
Both of the bronzed travellers are
enthusiastic about California roads
md state that only in Pennsylvania
did they find roads the equal of Cali
fornia's. THE chief difference be.
tween your roads and those of Penn
sylvania," said Tuthill, lis that your,
roads are free to the tourist, while
the Pennsylvania roads are largely
toll roads and a substantial fee is col
lected from those who wish to drive
over them" os
A trip is being planned in the Max
we'll to Tahoe and Yosemite and other
points of interest in California before
the return transcontinental journey is
begun.

GERMANY PLANS TO
MOULD ART GENIUS
FROM FANCIED AIM

Berlin, March 24-Mindful of the
experiences following the Franco
Prussian war in 187o-1S71, the Royal
Academy of Arts and the Royal Acad-
envy of Agriculture have jointly is
sued a warning to Germany at large,
cautioning against extravangant me-
m orials for the fallen, and urging that
the greatest conservatism be used in
fittingly honorfng the dead.
The war of 1870, says the appeal,
was followed by a veritable flood of
statues and monuments to William
L, and by countless Germanias, hard
ly any of which have withstood the
test Of art or time. The members
of the two academies profess to see
the danger of a repetition of this same
lack of taste in connection with the
present war. The danger is impend-
ing, the acadernicians believe, that
every German city, big and little will
try to Guido every other city in i'm
morta1izing its fallen sons, whereas it
is highly desirable that efforts in
this direction be combined rather than
working in competition. The acad-
envy members suggest rather one ma
tionaI memorial which in solemn form
shall express gratitude to God and
patriotic inspiration. Toward such
end, they declare, the art of the
sculptor in it's highest form would be
called into requisition to honor suit
ably in stone and metal all those
men who by word and deed have help
ed to make Germany unbeatable.

German Officers In
Command of Bulgars"
Soldiers At Varna

Berlin, March 24@The Berliner
TagebIatt prints a letter from its cor
respondent at Varna, the chief naval
port of Bulgaria on the Black sea, in
which he says the Bulgarian troops
stationed there are commanded by a
German general and lieutenant colo
mel; and a German naval officer is also
attached to the small Bulgarian navy
that has its home station at Varna-
Here in Varna,'' he writes, ct have
seen what the Bulgarian is able to &C
complish by harmoniously co-operat-t
ing with the intelligent will of the Ger
man officer. Starting from nothing
the Bulgarian navy has created here
a well defended naval port during the
few months since the war began. A
new power that merits respect is here
being created, and the same splendid
spirit for offensive action inspires both
Germans and Bulgarians''
The immediate task of the little
Bulgarian navy, the correspondent
says, is to operate by means of sub
marines against the Russian Black Sea
fleet, by lowering about the Russian
ports.

But when, after 16 months of war,

conclusion that journalists modified

the front, and recalled them. Thus
