WIVES MUST NOT
 FOLLOW SOLDIER
 HUSBANDS OVERSEAS

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 20.-If the wife of an army officer follows her husband to France the husband will be relieved of his command and the whole family sent home.
 This radical decision was arrived at by the secretary of war Saturday, largely as result of the decidedly un- pleasant experience of Canada with women who accompanied her expe- ditionary forces early in the war, as related by Canadian army officers.
 The Canadians advised that the United States inaugurate now the policy which Canada was forced to adopt months after the war began.
 General John J. Pershing, in com mand of American troops in France, has added his testimony that the wives of officers who have already fol- lowed their husbands to France have had demoralizing effect. Hence the hard and fast rule that no officer with a woman relative accompanying him, wife. mother or other, is to be per- mitted to continue in foreign com mand, has been adopted.
 In order that there may be no charge of discrimination, the rule has

PACKARD TRUCK SHOWS UP VEL
 N ROUGH TESTS

From the mountainous county of MisseGia, Mont, comes q record of truck durability that shades endur- ance feats of most metropolitan trucks.
 The town of Roman, M0pt is twen- tyfour miles from the railroad. For the past nine years, a three-ton Pack ard truck has been hauling from the railroad the greater part of the mer- chandise sold in the stores of Roman. Though it's allotted span of life, 100,
 00o miles, was passed long ago, this
 veteran carrier is performing today
 with entire reliability.
 During a large part of it's many years of service, the truck has made { two round trips each day, loaded both
 ways, a total daily run of 96 miles. One driver has operated it for the past five years, and he has never had
 any trouble in getting the truck to pull through the worst of roads. 1 Remarkable accounts of durability are brought to our attention right along" says Warren McArthur of Me- l Aruthur Brothers, "out these are gen. I! orally from city owners. X record like ! this, where the truck has traveled country roads continually and where
 facilities for proper mechanical at i tention are limited, gives additional i emDha sis to the durability that is i built into the truck"

NJ CHANGES
 IN CHALMERS
 SALES PLANS

To offset all rumors to the effect that there has been disturbance in the present Chalmers sales organiza- ton. due to the leasing of the Chalmers plant by the Maxwell Motor company T. J. Toner, vice president in charge of the sales and advertising, in com munication to Greer Robbins com pany, Chalmers distributors for south ern California and Arizona, authorized the following for publication:
 ITO all Chalmers distributors and dealers:
 The impression appears to have gained circulation that, as the result of the leasing of the Chalmers factory by the Maxwell Motor company, it was likely that there would be made a com bination of the distributors of the Max well with those handling the Chalmers, or wise versa
 There is absolutely no such inten- tion.
 No alteration of existing arrange ments with successful and satisfactory distributors and dealers is contem- plated.
 As a matter of fact it is the desire and intention to strengthen the Chal- mers selling organization, to the end that there shall be no interruption of the enthusiastic and earnest effort to sell the Chalmers which existed prior 10 the leasing of the Chalmers plant by the Maxwell company.
 A strong advertising policy to facil cilitate Chalmers sales is to be inaugu rated
 Every possible assistance and CO., operation is to be extended to Chalmers distributors and dealers.
 Chalmers cars are to be manufac- tured and their sale pushed with energy.
 The present Chalmers models will be continued not only for the balance of this season, but for 1918, and no new models will be brought out.
 We intend to market 10000 Chal- mers cars during the next twelve months.
 Do not pay any attention to gossip or rumors to the contrary.
 'The Chalmers district men have been to the factory and have returned to their respective territories with in structions to continue their work as before Those distributors and dealers who have visited the Chalmers factory since the lease took effect have been advised in accordance with the foregoing.
 Tt is hoped that this repetition of several announcements already made in the press of the United States VII set al rest ali these disquieting rumOrs.
 Pursue your fall selling campaigns with energy, confidence and assur- ance.

 Vice President, "In charge of sales and advertising.

of them have succeeded in getting to France before their identity was learned, and once there, they maneu- vered unceasingly to secure assign ments near their husbands.
 War department officials declare they have been subjected to surpris- ing pressure from women who want to go to France. Not all of them have relatives on the other side. Thous- ands of stenographers have applied for positions with the eXpedtionary forces. Rich women, who seek the wartime thrill, have filed other thousands Of re- quests for passports. Many women have sought positions as ambulance drivers and few as aviators. From the beginning the department has discouraged all of these women and from how on the rule against them will be made absolute.

been applied to the highest officers as we'll as to the rawest recruits. The United States navy has for many years enforced a rule that not even a lear admiral commanding a fleet can have his wife with him aboard ship at sea. even in time of peace.
 Among the Canadian army officers in conference with officials in Wash ington is Major Boehm of Toronto, who was assigned to the special duty in 1915 of returning to Canada the wives and children of Canadian army officers.
 At the beginning of the war Canada placed no restriction on women fol- lowing. their husbands or sons CT sweethearts to Europe. A large per eentage of the first men to answer the call to arms in the Dominion were Eng fish born and many had been married before they left England. The wives and mothers seized the occasion as Q splendid opportunity to visit the folks back home They thought the men would be released from service in a few months and that the whole family could return together.
 No less than 30,000 women and child ren accompanied the Canadian forces to France in these first months Then came the battle of Ypres, in which 15,000 Canadians were killed. It was the first use by the Germans of chlorine gas and whole regiments of the Canadians succumbed or died lin- Sering deaths from tuberculosis.
 Many of the women who had gone to ! England and France, found themselves without their husbands or sons, and the little money they had brought with them was swept away in ihe wave of high prices which came with the war. The stories which Major Boehm has told American officials this week are heart-rending. Many babies were born to the women on the other side Other women fell sick. They were collected in the large cities of England and spe- clal trains were chartered to\ carry them to the ports of authorization. With the great demand for trans portation facilities to haul troops and war goods, adequate facilities for the
 women and children could not De pro- vided. They were damned into cars and then jammed aboard ship Severa i died on the homeward journey.
 Since the United States has entered
 the war there has been comparatively
 little opportunity for women to reacl Europe. Many wives and mothers i have, however, succeeded in obtaining l passports by enlisting as Red Gross
 nurses. The Red Cross has been ac- | cepting the services of women wh, | will pay their own expenses 10 France

 In addition, the order says, each brigade or regiment should have a ser geants' club, kept up partly by enlisted men and partly by dues from members.

Hudsons would have, too, but for the fact that Hud- son prepared for the present market by her purchases of materials last year, when the market was consider ably lower. Now these are nearly exhausted, and Hudsons built from now on will be of materials bought on higher market. So Hudsons must cost more.

The Medical Department First.

The Secretary of War in his annual
report states that to the medical de-
partment must be given the honor OF
having lost from its ranks the first to
give up their lives in the great cause
Lieut.. Col. Patterson. who is in COM
n1and of a base hospital somewhere
abroad, in a personal letter says: THE
first soldiers of the United States Army
to be killed in the present war were
three of my men. who died on the night
of September as the result of an
attack from the enemy The first off,
Ger was First Lieut.. w. G. Fitzsim-
mons, NJ. Q. r. c.. and my adjutant
who died September 4. During the
month of September a medical officer
named Howe, also NJ. o. r. c.. was
killed on the British front. and a Capt
Fisher, another medical reserve officer
was killed during the month of Oc-
tober.
Five men of the enlisted personnel of
my command were wounded as the re-
suit of enemy attacks during the month
of September, and thus the first casual
ties of both classes fell on the Medical
Corps.
