bOLIWA1S TRUE AND LOYAL FRIEND TOUN|TEDSTATES First to Join This Country in Severing Relations With
 Germany RAILROADS MAKE
 NATION WEALTHY Financiers Here Have Been Glad to Help Bolivia Develop Her Great Mineral and Other
 Resources
By HOLLAND

New York, May 13.-(Special) )-Earnest H. Wands, who returned recently from visit to all of the South American countries, was able this morning to speak with some enthusiasm of the relation of Bolivia to the European war and to the United States as an ally. When Philan- der c. Knox was Secretary of State he sent MT. Wands upon two or three con- fidential missions for the state depart ment to South American countries, and upon one occasion to Central America. These visits procured for Mr Wands many friendships among the leaders in South America, who were able to give to him important information much of which is now contained in the archives of the state department at Washington.
 MT. Wands is of the opinion that it will b.; well for the people of the United States to bear in mind that Bolivia was the first of the South American nations to come into alliance with the United States after we had severed diplomatic relations with Germany. At the begin ming of the war Bolivia was greatly em- barrassed by reason of the inability to export vast amount of copper ore. Much of the income Bolivia received was from an export duty upon copper ore.
 Nevertheless this embarrassment may turn to the advantage of the United States for already copper smelting plants have been established in the vicinity of New York, for the present experiment tally, in the hope that the test will show that we can prepare for the market much of Bolivla's copper. If we can make permanent that industry, we shall be able after the war to free ourselves, to some extent, at least, from the domina- tion which England has heretofore main- ta.ned over the copper markets of the world.
 Mir Wands reports that there was much qualification in Bolivia that the nation was successful in placing long time loan with the United States since the outbreak of the European war. It was the only country in South America that was thus successful for the Argentine loans, though very large. were of short duration. This Bolivian loan was fi- nanced by New York. Philadelphia, Pitts burg and Boston capital The under writing of it was accomplished by Chan dler Co.,, who have now associated with themselves the Equitable Trust com pany of New York as well as a Chicago banking house. Although the loan was for only s3500,0O0 yet the ease with which it was financed and the utilization of the funds are of especial interest to the United States. Substantially all of the money is to be used in payment for the construction of railroad from La Paz into the Yukas valley. When this road is complete it will serve greatly to in- crease commerce between Bolivia and the United States One of the richest re- gions in Bolivia; in fact, probably one ot the richest in natural resources in all South America, will be opened up to commercial advantage when transpor- tation is made possible by means of this railroad It represents really an invest

DOBLE-DETRO|T CARS. THE SENSATION OF. THE AUTO INDUSTRY.
Government Interested in Application of Steam to Trucks, Tractors and
 Motor Boats

The Doble-Detroit Steam Motors com pany is the rame of the new corpora ton that will manufacture Doble-Detroit steam cars. The organization is being perfected under Michigan laws, and the capitalization is placed at $10,00O,000.
 The names of the men at the head of the company have not yet been disclosed, but it is understood that they will be men of very considerable prominence in the motor car industry, and that every department of the organization will be manned by thoroughly experienced execu- tives. The development of the Dopre steam car has been one of the sensations of the motor car industry
 The first car was displayed at the New York show in January. The interest created at that time was so tremendous that it resulted in an avalanche of in- quiries from all over the country. The better class of dealers everywhere showed a peculiarly keen interest in the new car, and there was immediately such 8 demand for territory that the sales organization covering the entire country was organized in an incredibly short time.
 This sales organization is now practi-

LARGE CROWDS AT
 EAST LAKE PARK

Despite the chilly weather the second Sunday at East Lake park was visited by large crowd who were entertained by Professor McGill with two daring bal loon ascensions, and Professor Davidson's orchestra which rendered two concerts. The sea Hons also had very good crowd of visitors and are proving to be one of the greatest and amusing attractions at the park.
 Motion pictures were also shown to help entertain the large crowds and these, too, are proving to be a success. and the manager promises the public the very best pictures that can be obtained.
 Manager George J. Breinig has an- ncunced, towing to the chilly weather, that East Lake park and Tokio will be open only two nights a week, Tues day and Friday. until the weather mod crates, which he says he hopes will be real soon.

and sell Doble steam power plants to other manufacturers.
 Plans for actual production are moving along very rapidly now and 1t Is con ndently expected that cars will be ready for delivery by fall. The new models that arc being produced now by Mir. Doble and his associates are showing even greater possibilities and an even higher degree of operating efficiency than was shown by the models displayed in January.
 Development work is being speeded up especially on account of the deep in terest that this and other governments Is showing in the application of steam to trucks, tractors and motorboats for war purposes. The Double Track Steam Motors company is the only company that will have the right to use the name Doble either in it's corporate title or in the name of its product, although it is understood other concerns may be li- censed under the Doblc patents to use the Doble power plant

callv complete. It includes, without ex- certion. men who have proved themselves to be marked successes in motor ear selling. Some of the biggest men in the industry have given up other strong and lucrative connections in order to tie up with the Doble organization These rong distributors, advantageousIv placed in various parts of the country have organized their territories and have now under them something over HOO dealers and subdealers ready to move the cars as rapidly as they can be manu- factured
 Actual signed contracts have already been received for more than SIP GOO ODO worth of cars net value and additional orders are coming in steadily Proba blv no such record has ever before been made by any motor car proposition.
 Plans for manufacturing are already well under way. Contrac ts for parts and ma terials have been entered into; options have been secured on thoroughly equipped plants that are now in operation and that can begin turning out finished cars m a very short period of time, and all the other details of the successful and az gressive Senter into the motor car field have been attended to.
 The financing plans of the new com .pany are extremely conservative and con template the protection of the capital- zs ton to a remarkable degree, The par value of the stock is $10. It is being sub scribed for, however, at S11, and investors are guaranteed that full par value of the stock will go into the treasury in actual cash the additional $1 per share being sufficient to pay all organizing ex- penses of every kind
 The car to be produced first will be a thoroughly high-class and somewhat lux urious seven passenger model that will sell for $2500 Later on other models at a less price will unquestionably be added to the line A little later the new com pany will also devote it's attention to the adaptation of steam to motor trucks tractors, motorboats, airplanes, interur- ban cars, etc. In fact good deal of engineering work has already been done along these lines and some rather start ling developments may be looked for within a short time The new company will also have the right to manufacture
