featuring the mighty tanks or forts upon
wheels, which roll over the country
crushing down everything in their way.
Long before we entered the war De-
troit was making automobiles and mo-
tor trucks for the French and the Eng
lish. One of its firms supplied 5000 cars
to the armies in France and another ex-
ported sl,500.O00 worth of war ambu-
lances. One of the makers of high
priced cars has already shipped 5000
trucks to Europe, and another, which
makes a $500 automobile, has sent 5000 of
his vehicles across the ocean. An es-
tabllshment making a well known cheap
machine recently completed one order

Of a little more than 1900 men. we had
to hire as many as 5000 new hands

the profit sharing was introduced with
a force of men of a little more than

only 1900. BY a careful study of cost
efficiency, we find that it costs US just
about $40 to hire a man and fit him for
his Job. In 1913 we discharged over 5000
men. and in 1915 the number discharged

RAIN BOOSTS

Recent heavy rains over the north
ern part of the county have helped
the crops to a great extent and thorH
are good prospects for 2 heavy v:cld
in spite Of the long G~out', DOVE,
pours occurred Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday, in some Of the badly
affected areas, and inrneGiate results
could be seen. Before the rain. how
ever, it is reported heavy hailstorms
occurred, which stripped the corn.
slashing it into ribbons. This was
only in certain places and did not af-
feet any wide area, as some fields
would be devastated, while the ad-
joining one would remain Untouched.
The first corn, it is stated, shows
the bad effect of the drouth. but the
second crop, Just beginning TO mature
IS some 81 the best ever raised. Even
with some loss, it is expected that
there will be a good yield unless the
second crop is injured.

Day of America in the

CLEANING UP.

Illicit liquor traffic must stop. said Judge
Moreno Jones, and to prove he was not
uttering empty words, he imposed a fine,
the other day, double the usual penalty
given-a stand in which he has the sup
port of the law and order element OF the
community, in majority already and daily
waxing in strength.
Illicit liquor traffic is .3ot confined TO
blind tigers. A fertile source is the service
clubs. LICENSED to dispense liquor to mem
sbers who keep their own supply there and
charge only for the service some OF these
establishments are stretching their privi-
leges to mean unlimited sale, like that al
lowed public barroom. This liquor sell
ing without license is a violation OF the
law as fragrant as blind tigerism, and
should be punished to the limit.
However hard it is to bring conviction
home, it is not impossible as witness the
increasing number of arrests and sentences
for this offence.
8 Other authorities too are displaying
lseSyest zeal in running down liquor law VIC
lators, especially Recorder Semmes and
Sheriff Van Pelt. Mr.. SemmeS believes in
going the limit in his sentences, and the
sheriff is uncommonly active throughout
the county in general and the city in par
ticular Possibly for the first time on rec
ord, it is impossible to secure liquor in the
houses of the restricted district.
3 OF Our authorities, the ardor must not
grow GOBLET the people cooperate with
them to the fullest extent, it is the people S
duty, no less than the officers, to report
infractions and see that they are punished.

SAYS NORWAY DOES
NOT RE-EXP0RT FOODS

Editor of The Journal:
In regard to your editorial TODAY
about Norway supplying Germany, l
beg you to give space to the following
facts.
When the war started Norway i'm
mediately put an embargo on al! kinds
of foodstuffs except fish, and has
faithfully enforced this. Of fish, Ger
many gets IS per cent of the entire
catch, this with the consent of Eng
land, which gets the remainder.
Before the war Norway got at
least Is per cent of all her foodstuffs
from Russia and Germany. With
these markets closed it was only nat
ural to turn to America for her sup
plies. This accounts for the great
increase in exports from the United
States to Norway. This amounts to
$66,207, 744 in 1916, compared to 49,,
391 ,458 in 1918. The greater part
of this increase is no doubt due TO
the constantly growing import of
machinery of which Norway is buying
great quantities for her constantly
expanding industry. The total in
crease in imports of foodstuffs
amounts to only two per cent of pre-
war imports.
The above mentioned sums do not
give an exact idea of imports from
this country as it does not take in
consideration the greatly increased
prices.
In September, last year, the British
war trade statistical department saws
in regard to the increased export from
the United States to Norway, that
this is to cover their own need and
that nothing is re-exported to Ger
many.
Respectfully,
WERNER TRANBERG.

New York, June 3O.-The steam
sailing vessel Neptune is ready today
to leave St Johns, Newfoundland, to
make the third attempt to bring back
to civilization the members of the
Croker land expedition, marooned in
the Arctic. Captain Robert A
Bartlett, who accompanied Rear Adj
miral Peary to the Arctic, regarded
as one of the most skilful of navigat-
ors of the frozen regions of the north
is in command of the Neptune.
The departure of this, the third re-
lief vessel to be sent to the rescue of
the Croker land expedition, marks
one of the most costly enterprises of
exploration. Two other vessels, the
George B. Cluett" and the "Den~
mark" made Intellectual a tempts to
bring back the explorers who four
years ago went in quest of the mys
FERROUS Croker land, which RearAd-
miral Robert E. Peary believed he had
seen in 1906. The expedition was sent
out under the joint auspice5 Of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, the American Geographical So
ciety and the University of Illinois,
under the leadership of Donald B.
Macmillan. What appeared to eyes of
the discoverer of the north pole, was
declared by Mr.. Mcmillan to be mere
ly mirage and the party has looked
for Croker Land in vain.
The Macmillan party, meanwhile,
has been conducting explorations on
its own account and has discovered six
new islands, explored new lands, found
extensive deposits of coal and ctHer
minerals and has gathered together a
vast store of scientific knowledge.
These scientists are proceeding with
their professional work as calmly as
though they were not exposed to dam
gers of starvation,
DR.. Harrison J. Hunt, the surgeon
of the expedition, who a few days ago
came back to this country, after a
thrilling journey of fourteen miles
over the ice of Melville Bay, report
ed that unless help were sent his
companions would be in dire eXtrem-
ity by August /. The scant supplies
were even then being rationed out to
them. After midsummer they will
be obliged to subsist as best they ran
upon the country and after the man
ner of Eskimos. Walrus meat AMI
caribou may possibly be obtained, but

BONE DRY LAW.

The bone dry law, or Reed amendment,
as it is known, goes into effect today.
TWenty-three states are affected, and
fourteen that were partially dry are now
made absolutely So many mail order Whis
key houses, which have reached huge pro-
portions, are wiped out.
According to the Reed Amendment, not
only is the importation of alcoholic bever-
ages into dry state absolutely prohibited,
except for industrial, medicinal, or sacra-
mental purposes. but no liquor ADVERTISE
ments' can be circulated in such territory,
either by circulars, or by newspapers and
magazines. Publications that have an inter
state circulation, therefore, will either
have to run two editions, or what is more
probable, they will drop the objectionable
publicity entirely, and so the traffic will
receive another fearful blow.
In the meantime the sword of absolute
prohibition hangs over the industry; and
the proposed law would give the president
the power to commander all present
stocks, for Redistribution, to supply war
needs and conserve food products that
must otherwise be devoted to that pur-
pose.
Lawyers in the postofhce department
and the attorney generals office have been
studying the law carefully for possible loop
holes, but have come to the conclusion that
the bill is burglar proof.
