|GOOD ROADS ARE VITAL
IN WARFARE Of TODAY
Mobility of Huge Guns in Europe
Possible Because of
Highways.

Zone Of the most important lessons
learned from the present war in Europe
Is the effectiveness of heavy mobile artil
lery," says Capt. Arthur P. S. Hyde,
United States Army. in speaking Of big
guns and good roads,
THE world was astounded and at first
very incredulous over the reports of the
German 42-centimeter gun, a gun one
half inch greater in caliber than the great
16-inch gun at Panama, which Is the
largest coast defense weapon we have
yet built. These 42-centimeter guns
were transported with apparent ease from
place to place and used with tremendous
effect against the land forts on the
French frontier. Other guns Of great
caliber that are being used on the field
in Europe include the 11-inch howitzer,
which resembles very much in both its
appearance and method of mounting our
own 12-ipch seacoast mortar, and, like the
latter, is> used for high-angle fire. The
use of these very heavy weapons is made
possible by the splendid highway sys-
TENS of continental Europe.

Real Preparedness Work.

zone of the most important phases of
real military preparedness that can pos
sibly be undertaken is that which is
going on under the impetus of the good
roads movement now become SO general
all over the country. A good road, well
built, well surfaced and well drained,
may be of immense value from a military
point of view. In the location of roads.
particularly along the shore, special at
tention to military requirements in the
laying out and planning of a highway
may prove of inestimable value at some
time in the future when that highway
becomes a military road. In the last
analysis a highway system is not an ad-
junct to military operations, but is vital
to them"

Extension Of Highways.

The coming touring season will find
most of the automobile highways ra-
dating from the District in travelable
condition Not only will these roads
be pleasant to travel over, but their
number will be increased and all will
be marked with the indestructible yell
low and black direction signs of the A.
A A. so that those tourists to whom
the roads are strange will have no
difficulty in finding their way from
place to place.
Long hills and steep grades are no
impediment. A choice landscape within
forty or fifty miles need no longer
waste it's beauty on a solitude. An
afternoon is time enough to bring it
into the running, and weeks end
serves for a journey into the heart of
the hills seen dimly in the distance.
The man who said he was hungry for
the horizon lived before the era of
motor cars. In these days it takes
little time to get there, or where it
seemed to be- If the rim Of the earth
and sky proves elusive, now vistas sat
isfy the eye, and they are surely good
enough for the most fastidious ex-
plOrer Of horizons.

Il Might Have Had
AHudson Super-Six'

Last spring many thousands of car
buyers delayed their choice too long.
They found Our output two or three
months oversold.
Don't wait as they did It means
long regret to say, Il might have had a
Hudson Super-Six."

No Car Like 1t

The Super-Six motor is patented.
No other car offers anything like it.
The difference is enormous. This
one invention added 80 per cent to
motor efficiency. 1t almost doubled en-
durance.
The Super-Six holds all the worth
while records. In speed, in hill-clinb-
ing, in long distance performance, moth
ing has ever matched it.
But it excels above all in endurance.
1t broke the 24-hour record by 81 per
cent. 1t twice broke the ocean-to-
ocean record in one continuous 1000
mile round trip.

Made Big Guns Mobile.

'In the Dardanelles campaign it was
discovered that the Turks, doubtless un-
der the instruction and guidance of Ger
man coast artillery and engineer officers,
were introducing new system Of emplac-
ing coast defense guns. The British
would attack a certain battery and ap-
parently silence it. The next day those
same guns would open fire upon them
from an entirely different place. In other
words, coast defense guns. instead of
being permanently emplaced as has been
the rule in the past. were being trans
ported from place to place and fired from
concealment from the most unexpected
locations.
~ am not prepared to say that the day
of the fixed coast defense guns Of our
present system is past, but it is the IN
doubted sentiment among coast artillery
officers in our service that we must at
least supplement our permanent ones with
some suitable type Of heavy mobile artil-
lery. Whether these guI,s should be
mounted on fat cars to be transported
on a railroad or by motor trucks on the
highways is an open question. The latter
method would undoubtedly afford a
greater degree of mobility, but in the
present condition of our highway sys-
TENS it is almost impossible of attain

MOTORS WILL HEED
FIRST SPRING CALL
Prepared to Hit the Trail at
Once When Favorable
Weather Arrives.
TRAFFIC RULES DEBATED
BY HOWARD S. FISK.

According to the calculations of the
star gazers. spring was ushered into
our midst March 81. But judging from
the appearance Of the bare trees, the
cold soggy earth and the raw, pene-
trating wind observed on that date. the
learned gentlemen are all wrong. How
ever, there are some hopeful signs that
springtime and its train Of refreshing
green Is not far distant These signs
come from the ubiquitous motor tour
ist, who is now making considerable Of
a fuss with his road maps as he pre-
pares to hit the trail to the distant
horizon at the first call of a fair road
and a clear sky.
Everywhere the language Of motor
dom is spoken are indications that the
best touring season Of the year is
coming prospective owners are
thronging the automobile salesrooms,
dealers are selling cars as rapidly as
they can get them from their respec-
tive factories, repairmen are working
night and day giving motors their an
nual overha uling. and communities are
putting their roads in order hoping to
entice tourists into their midst.
Evening star., 1917-03-25

Again and again it has performed
feats which would break other motors
to pieces Yet not a part or bearing
was affected.
That's its supreme advantage. The
Hudson Super-Six will outlive, prob
ably, any man who drives it.
NeW Economies
This year we add new gasoline
saver in the form of radiator shutters
that control in part the heat of the
motor. We add motormeter. We
put primer at the drivers hand. We
use patent pneumatic carburetor
which adjusts itself to every engine
speed.
We are using bodies which, in
beauty and luxury, excel anything
you've seen. We use plated uphol-
stery made of rare-grade leather. We
have finish which is wonderfully en-
during.
But the Super-Six motor means
more than all. 1t means performance
such as no other car can match. It
means endurance such as other cars
can't hope for. 1t means pride in your
car
Last year, because of this motor,
Hudson outsold any car in the world
with price above S1,1OO.
You want it for capacity, for serv-
ice. Find this out, for your own sake,
before we get oversold.

Sleepy Hamlets Awakened.

Pleased with the fact that they have
been discovered, sleepy old hamlets
and neighborhoods have become inter-
ested in good common highways to a
degree unknown before. No longer is
the annual operation of working the
roads a bit of companionable sham.
Highway building has taken a decided
ly serious turn. The point that roads
cost money and demand much labor
and persevering effort has been ac-
cepted. 1t will take a vigilant intel
ligence, too, to keep them up, a truth
that will duly be impressed before
neglect takes the form of decay. When
the telephone and traction lines pene-
trated out tiof-the-way spots the situa-
ton frightened for the quiet places in
community, and now the honk, honk
of the automobile is one of the COM
monplace features of their existence,
broadened and enlivened by the march
of invention.
Maryland has done much to improve
its roads for automobile touring.
To the District of Columbia A. A. A..
Club is due much of the credit for stir
ring up the good roads movement in
the Old Dominion. 1t Is also due to the
efforts of the local organizations two
years of untiring effort that a Wash
gton-Richmond highway is to be a
reality within the next five or six
weeks. The touring department of the
club is now engaged in preparing sign
marks for the new route to Fredericks-
burg, from the National Capitol

Why 1t Endures

The thing we fight is friction. That
wastes the power, and it causes wear.
1t is friction that destroys machinery.
In the Super-Six motor friction is
almost ended. After thousands of miles
under top-speed strain, this motor has
shown no evidence of wear.

On. Saturday night about Il.so
o'clock. a car sped through Main
street at a rapid rate. Observing the
car and securing the number. Officer
Cocklin looked it up in the directory,
found the name of the owners, and
reported the same. shortly after a
member of the above firm came to
town and told the officer that the car
had been stolen from the garage at
o'clock on saturday evening and his
prompt report of the speeding car was
the first clue the firm had, even
though they were making every effort
for some trace.
Officer Cocklin told him that a car
was stranded in the locality of Shep-
herdstown, and that he had better
look 1t up. This Mr.. Gohl did and
found the car to be the one for which
he was searching. Further inquiry
brought out the fact that the car was
stolen for a joyride and abandoned
because of the lack of gasoline. Later
the joyriders were arrested.

they will proceed with the paving
and If 1t is necessary to tear some of
1t up to fix another street grade the
railroad company will be responsible.
Camp Hill and New Cumberland
are seeking State aid for their paving
programs. Camp Hill several years
ago passed a measure allowing coun-
Gil to raise the indebtedness of the
borough $4,000 to be used in paying
the borough's share of paving Mar
ket street. Council depended largely
on State aid and it was learned lated
that no money was available from
this source. Council recently again
made application for State aid and
expects to get started on the inn
provement early next spring. This
street is on the main highway to the
west and up to this summer was al
ways in bad condition. Council re-
built and oiled the street so that it is
in good condition at present.
New Cumberland council, through
its solicitor, has made application for
State aid for paving Bridge street,
the main thoroughfare of the town.
The street, although macadamized,
this spring. is in bad condition and
council wants a permanent improve
ment.

Three West Shore boroughs are
planning to pave their main thor
oughfares. Lemoyne. Camp Hill and
New Cumberland are considering i'm
provement of this kind.
The Lemoyne project is further on
probably than the other two. In this
borough, council is awaiting a reply
from the board of directors of tho
Valley Railways Company to find out
whether the company will pay for
the paving of their track space. Two
thirds of the property owners in
Rossmoyne street have signed a petit
ton signifying their willingness to
pay their portion of the cost.
The thoroughfare to be paved is
on the main highway to York and Is
used by many tourists in getting on
the Lincoln Way to Gettysburg.
Council has spent hundreds of dol
lars in keeping UP this street every
year and is anxious to get a perman-
ent roadway. Since the street has
been oiled through the efforts of the
Lemoyne Welfare League it has been
in fair condition.
The Lemoyne council has asked
the Cumberland Valley railroad Of

bridge at the lower end of Rossmoyne
street, to take the place of the pres
ent one, which is inadequate. Up to
