Wipe Out German
Concerns in u. S.,
Urges DR.. e. Pratt
Tells Financiers Teutons'
Foreign Trade Must Be
Destroyed

Representatives of great corpora
tions and banks, of practically every
South American republic and Of the
United States government listened last
night to demand that Germany's for
eign trade be smashed and that Ger
man concerns, ain name or in fact" in
this country be wiped out.
at is our privilege to put German
trade out Of business wherever we find
it," said DR.. Edward Ewing Pratt, speak
ing at conference Of foreign trade
interests at the Advertising Club, Of
New York, AZ East 25th street. at is
our governments duty to see to 1t that
no German concern, either in name or
in fact, is permitted to exist in this
country, and to cooperate with our
allies in annhilating German trade as
far as possible elsewhere"
DR.. Pratt recently resigned as chief
Of the Bureau Of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce to become vice
president of the Pacific Commercial
Company. In his audience, besides
South American consulates, were rep
resentatives Of the Standard oil Com
pany, the Western Electric Company,
the Chase National Bank, the General
Electric Company, the American-Rus-
sian Chamber of Commerce. the Bank
ers' Trust Company and the Nation
al Paper and Type Company. It was
the first of series Of twelve con-
ferences to study current problems Of
foreign trade and the world trade out
look after the war.
Germany Plans Trade Conquest
DR.. Pratt emphasized the necessity
Of providing a practical programme for
combating German efforts to seize the
commercial leadership of the world as
soon as peace is declared. In the
course of his address DR.. Pratt said:
"The maintenance and extension Of
our foreign trade are an effective
belligerent move against Germany. Our
government should recognize il as
such. Germany to-day believes that
through her foreign trade after the
war she can regain a market for her
products, pay for the raw materials
that she must have and liquidate her
war Indebtedness. She is even now
planning national control of exports
and imports to more effectively accom-
plish her purposes.
Germany Will continue in this be
lief and will continue to scheme and
plan for after-the-war trade as long
as we permit her foreign trade organi-
cation 10 remain intact
$50 far we have permitted il to re-
main intact-or almost so-in the
United States.
ain my opinion, we can materially
shorten this war if we can make the
Germans realize that we have finally
and irrevocably, without prejudice and
without exception, decided to annihi-
late their world trade. Germany must
be made to realize that if she continues
this war the end Of it will see the end
of her dream of world commercial su-
premacy. We must leave not a single
stone or brick in the structure or foun-
dation Of her foreign trade edifce.'

VALUABLEH Hints
ON ambulance
CONSTRUCTION
Expert Bases Suggestions on
Conditions as Found on
the West Front

Suggestions Of. interest with refer
ence TO the design of ambulanCes cap
able OF performing heavy duty in war
are given by Thomas q Thomas, De
troit consulting automOtiye engineers.
Basing his recommendations on a
study Of the question while on the
western front. Mr. Thomas says:
'Ambulances are for the most part
on long frame, specially built tour
ing car chassis. The bodies are eight
feet long and must not oyerhang the
rear aXles more than one third Of
their length To accomplish this, q
wheelJasG OF about ~ inches is ne
cessary The bodies carry two driv-
ers. an attendant and four stretcher
patients or eight sitting patients.
With sitting patients One.third OF the
weight OF the patients and the three
men is distributed between the two
axles; the other two-thirdo Of the
weight Of the patients is balanced d.
rectly over the rear axle. This is
equivalent to more than the weight
of eight men and their equipment, or
a load of over 1900 pounds directly
over the rear axle, exclusive of the
body weight.
Ambulance rear aXles. springs and
tires had had to be made more liberal
TO stand this load. They are mostly
fitted with dual pneumatic rear tires
on account of this. incidentally, the
dual rear tires improve the traction,
and ambulances so equipped surprise
the average driver in their ability on
bad roads.
"All ambulances are designed with
center aisle and a set for the at
tendant on account Of the number of
serious cases which require these IA
cilities. The average ambulance is
very uncomfortable, for sitting cases.
The best arrangement is to leave the
seat in position for the lower stretch
ers, and to hinge the back upwards for
the upper stretchers in the opposite
manner TO the ordinary upper sleep
ing car berth. This arrangement pro-
yides a comfortable seat for sitting
patients and also a pad under each
stretcher to take the weight of
stretcher patients when the amhu-
lance strikes bump. The side rails

Vehicle is Without Frame and
Presents Other Novelties
in Construction

Alter three years Of experimental
work Henry Ford & Son are about to
manufacture their tractor for the mar
ket. The following description is by
j. Edward SChipper, who prepared il
for the Automobile and Automotive
Industries:
From an engineering standpoint
the Ford tractor possesses character
istiCs which distinguish it from all
others. The first striking feature is
that it has no frame. An examination
of the tractor shows that i'll a great
many Instances parts which ordinarily
perform but one function have been
made to do the work of two or three
parts. For instance, the Crankcase.
gear box and rear axle housing serve
not only their regular purposes, but
torn the frame OF the machine.
The engine is a fCur-Cylinder by
> inch L-head block type, having a
displacement of 251.3 cubic inches.
According to tests which have been
made on the dynamOmeter at the
plant of Henry Ford & Son, it is ca
pable of delivering p horse power at
1000 revolution per minutes. This is
with kerosene and has a compression
of 60 pounds absolute. The working
:orgue of the engine is 1900 inch
pounds.
The engine block is cast from
semisteel in other words. from iron
refined by the addition of about Is
per cent of steel scrap. The crank
case is also of semi-steel, as are the
pistons, which latter are 4 rs inches

head is transmitted through the pin
bearings, which are in the bosses Of
the piston, to a ! 3-S inch piston pin
OF chrome vanadium steel. The bear
ing length on this pin is "a inches,
the pins bearing directly on the cast
iron of the pistons
Three Crankshaft bearings are
used and are provided with inter-
changable caps This is one Of the
feaures of the machine tending to-
ward simplicity and making for low
manufacturing cost. 1t is also fac
tor in the maintenance of the tractor.
All of the crankshaft bearings are two
inches in diameter and 81 inches
long.
"A steel pinion is carried on the end
of the crankshaft and meshes with a

cast iron gear on the Camshaft. These
gears have helical teeth. The cam
shaft is carried in three bearings,
each | 1915 inches in diarIeter, the
lengths OF front, center and rear bear
ings, being "a, 2la and l., respec-
lively. The cams are forged integral
with the camshaft and operate direct
" on mushroom tappets. No adjust
ment is provided between push rod
and the valve stem, the pOppet valves
being operated directly. These valves
have a clear diameter Of 1l2 inches
and a lift of 5-16 inch. The valve
timing is as follows: Intake opens
10 degrees after top center and closes
40 degrees after bottom center; eX-
haust opens As degrees ahead OF bot
tom center and closes on top center.
