HUDSON SUPER-SIX TO COMPETE
With WORLDS SPEEDIEST CARS

HILL Chandler and milford are all
at the factory now, constructing and
testing the new speed chariOts pre-
paratory 10 the seasons campaign.
Mulford. who besides being star
pilot. is a wonderful engineer. is al
ready proving the value OF his addi-

big contests this daring driver has
seen with the vision that vivid mo-

where tie supreme moment found out
weakness that theory would never
have detected, and he is keeping con-
stantly in touch with the engineering
department of the Hudson company
and many of his suggestions have
proved of value.
This year will be the first that the
Hudson has entered the racing game
on large scale, and there is no ques-
ton but that the new Super-Six
steeds will be the big attraction at
the first event in which they are en-
tered in view of the marvellous per
formances of the Super-Six in the
hands of owners this season and the
predictions that are being made for
their ability to break speedway
records.

This being the case. it might APP

At the present time, as might
be expected, the military party is in
power, and all the military authori-
ties have been very much impressed
by the important part played by the

result it is almost certain that
schemes will be put in hand at once
for the improvement and widening
Of al Japanese roads with the OBJ

Such a transformation will of ne

WAR IS OPENING
EYES OF AMERICA
TO EXPORT TRADE
By J. A. ROSE
Manager Of Export Sales, the Nash
MotorG ComnanN

DENVER, Colo.-I am convinced
that after the war is over the subject
of foreign markets is going to be
studied much more closely by the au-
tomobile manufacturers in general.
The war itself has done a great deal
to open American eyes to the posi-.
bilities of foreign trade For one thing
il has familiarized the average man
with the world map and shown him
how dependent the various countries
are upon one another
Foreign connections so far made by
this company have been desirable in
every respect. 1t has been my ex-
perience that a firm 5000 miles away
that has the initiative required to
make a connection wit an American
manufacturer is pretty high cali
bered business institution.
Another thing that makes foreign
business most desirable is the fact
that when II is winter in this country
1t is summer in the temperate zone
south of the equator and the selling
season is at its height. Thus, If ex-
port trade is sufficiently cultivated
factory production schedules can run
at the same speed the year around,
making for economical manufacture
and efficiency throughout the whole

DETROIT. NiCh.. Feb. 1.-THE
Hudson Super-SiX racing team is the
subject CT the day in local automO-
bile racing circles. Not content with
laurels captured at hili-chmbs, with
breaking road records for stock mod
els, and with records piled up in Off
Cial tests on Chicago, New York and
other speedways. the Hudson Motor
Car Company. this city, is going after
the speed crown in competition with
all American and foreign-huilt. ma
chimes this season. putting out a
team Of at least five Super-SiXes.
Arthur Hill, late OF the Peugeot
team, has been selected to guide the
careers on the speedways.
Hill announced today that Ralph
Milford would hold the star racing
wheel for the Hudson Motor Car
Company's team for this year. The
nomination of other well-known
drivers will be made shortly and Hill
states that when the Super-SiXeS go
to the starting line for the first time
their destiny will be in the hands
of the brightest stars in the racing
armament.
II has not been announced yet at
which event these new gasoline pro-
PEELED thoroughbreds will make their
initial appearance. but Americas an
nual speedway classic at indianapolis
will probably witness their first bow.
California racing fans will I'M
doubtedly have an opportunity early
in the season to look over these speed
demons, for present plans include
their appearance in events which will
be held in that state. George Bentel

ence on the future design Of automo-
biles from now on, as the development
of this type of engine stands alone

struction achievement of the season"

The Plea for Woman Suffrage.

A great force of public sentiment cen
tiers in Washington at this time in the
assembly here of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association in an
nuai convention. This organization, rep
resenting several million American
women, holds its meeting at a most ep-
perfume time to present to Congress a
plea for action favoring federal
amendment of the Constitution permit
ting the enfranchisement of women
throughout the United States This or
ganization has adopted most wise, ju-
dieious and patriotic attitude toward the
government in the present crisis, co.
operating with all of the war activities
of the country, and thereby gaining
strength in the prosecution of its own
cause. Other advocates of the same
change in the federal Constitution for
the extension of the suffrage to women,
pursuing obstructive and annoying tao
ties, have injured rather than forwarded
the cause. But woman suffrage is right
in itself, is growing in favor despite the
blundering and unpatriotie maneuyers
of very small fraction of its adye-
Gates and will win, Notwithstanding the
prejudice which has unquestionably been
created in many minds by militant en-
deavors to embarrass the government.
No right cause was ever permanently
defeated by the errors of zealots Of mis-
taken purpose. The National Assoeia-
tion has just scored definite triumph
in the adoption in New York of the state
amendment fully enfranchising women
in that commonwealth. which is viewed
by them as presage of early success in
the national field.

A tragic chapter in the history of the

no executive clemency had been shown,
that the matter had taken its usual
course save for the lack Of publicity, and
that to prevent pressure of protest and
petition which would have been greatly
embarrassing at this time. with the coun-
try at war, the sentences had been exc

The tariff commission has been busy
busy as possible, with the war stiil in
progress and investigations necessarily
limited by that fact The value of what
has been done will depend on the length
of hostilities and conditions at the close.
II, as some fear, there are several years
more of fighting, with increased destruc-
tion Of life and property, before the
world, appalling as conditions now are.
and as far.reaching as business dislo-
cations are, the close of the struggle may
present problems in government, in

Picking the Fighters.

Precautions to send abroad none but
physically fit officers are to be taken by
the War Department, a wise move to
prevent breakdowns under the severe
conditions that prevail on the battle
front. Every man who crosses the ocean
for duty in the war should be capable
of withstanding the hardships that must
be endured by those called to duty. An
army is just as efficient as the men who
lead it, and there will be need later of
the most capable leadership when the
brunt of the campaign falls upon our
forces. For those who cannot surely
hold up under the strain of camp and
trench life abroad there will be impor
tant duty here at home, in the handling,
organizing and training of new con-
tingents. The process just provided, in
the appointment of efficiency boards,
will select those who can best discharge
their responsibilities in the foreign
field and those who must, in eonsidera-
tion of their physical limitations, stay
here TO do the less spectacular but
vitally important work of making ready
the forces for their more fortunate
brothers in arms to lead to victory.

War Activities.

. The curiosity now being manifested
: by Congress in our war activities is jus
titled on two grounds: QD Hestilities
are of unprecedented, of staggering
size; and (2) the money involved is far
and away greater in amount than we
have ever considered before.
Moreover, our activities may have just
begun. Whose guess about the dura-
tion of the war is worth raps Who
has sufficient information to enter with
safety so wide domain of uncertainty
The guess of the average soldier is of
no more value than that of the average
civilian. The world is upside down and
all vision distorted.
If our start has not been altogether
wise and businesslike, let the fact be
established now If changes in any of
cur procedure should be made, now is
the time to make them. If we are on
the wrong road in any matter, let us
take a straight course for the right road,
and go forward on that. Progress on
the wrong road might spell an appalling
disaster.
The inquiry now inaugurated, and
which may be broadened, cannot have
the purpose, and need not have the eff
feet, of hampering the President as the
eommanderin chief of the Army and
Navy, or of impugning the integrity of
tny subordinate official of any grade
iharged with war work All, it is safe
b say, are exerting themselves con-
kientiously in the country's behalf.
But the course, in the main, is new.
Everybody, in way, is pathfinder.
!. Mistakes inhere in the very nature of
engagements so vast. The part Of wis
dom and safety, therefore, is in caution
and consultation.
Z The interest of Congress in all this
! business is indisputable. That body
alone possesses the war making power.
II has declared the present war, and
must provide the sinews for its prose
eution. Its responsibility to the people,
, therefore. is direct and comprehensive.
It could not shirk if it would.
No partisansbip is apparent. None
need be feared. Both parties are COM
mitted to the war. Neither could draw
back now. Neither shows any desire
TO do so. The President has been sup
ported by the republicans as loyalty as
By his own people. In both House and
Senate spirit thoroughly nonpartisan
has been exhibited. And that this will
continue in all matters respecting the
war is guaranteed by both prudence and
patriotism.

ing the uniform of the United States,
held peculiar responsibility. They did
not yield suddenly and unprecedented
ly to passion. They organized raid
and descended upon the town, armed
and determined to wreak vengeance for
that which they considered an INJURY
inflicted upon their fellows. They took
the law into their own hands, and they
have suffered the severest penalty ever
dealt out to American soldiers, pen

Investigated and the suddenness with

The people may be well assured that
these men have been given the fullest
measure of justice, that their eases have
been tried without prejudice. The fact
that some of the accused were acquitted
and others were sentenced to life terms
of Imprisonment is proof that the cases
were carefully sifted.
Discipline must be maintained in the
American Army. The country is at war
and every man in uniform must be obe-
dent to command, and in the last de-
gree observant of the law and of all
regulations for the government of sol
