HIGH TRIBUTE PAID
TO MR.. H. M. LELAND
Competitor Says worth While

Two men, both OF them prominent
in the motor car industry, both OF
them intimately familiar with nearly
every make Of car on the road. wero
riding from Detroit to an Ohio city
In Cadillac roadster which one OF
them had Just purchased.
w men they reached the top of hill
a lovely stretch OF farm country
spread out before them The dull
brown fields were pumpkined with
color and away in the distance a grove
blended into the autumn haze. They
passed an old farmer in "A crawlin-
wagon. He was whstling. And up
on hillside some farmer women with
gaudy shawls were gathering hickory
nuts In baskets between intermittent
showers Of nuts occasioned by "A lad

branches and yelled. "Git out of the
way down there, all Of you. Just look
I'm going up higher yet"
Autumn sunshine and tingling life

The two manufacturers, both Of
them poets I'm spirit. sat in perfect
content, held by the spell Of the scene
and the charm OF the car which was
carrying them so quietly so easily and
so swiftly.
When at length one OF them spoke.

destined to live as long as the Cadillac

enthusiastically. at is worth while to
have lived and made "a car like the

That night the elder of the two men
sat In the warm library of his home.
The expression of his friend came to
his mind, accompanied by the image
of Henry NJ. Leland's strong and kind
ly face

remark. Emerson said that every

ity and inventive genius are surpassed

RECORDS FOR ALL-RAH
 COAL CARRYING BROKEN
 BY NEW HAVEN COMPANY

All previous records on the New Haven railroad were broken during May and June in the number of cars of all-rail coal handled by the com pany.
 In May the New Haven handled IT, 16S cars of hard and soft coal alI- rail. This is the largest number of all- rail coal cars handled in any one month in the New Haven's history. In June 15,974 cars were handled. and with the exception of the May record this number is larger than any pre- vious report on record. The average number of all-raiI coal cars handled each month in 1917 is also a high rec ord. The number is 13,213 cars com pairing with 12,377 in 1916. This is nearly 1000 cars per month more than last year.
 There has been some reduction in the number of cars of -tidewater coal handled, due somewhat to the short age in shipping facilities, and the in creased cost of shipping by water This reduction, however, has been more than made up by the increase in all-rail shipments.
 The total number of cars of both a1l-rail and tidewater coal handIed by the New Haven in May was 21.850' and in June 20, TOT. This compares with 15,546 in May and 17,466 cars in June, 1916.

 'oThe man who uses an automobile every day probably spends very lit tie time ref1ecting on these things. Yet I am sure he will appreciate the full usefulness-and the basic neces- sity-of the motor car in modern life the moment he asks himself this ques- ton: What would I do without my car 2"

Americans In France
 Rejected As Recruits

Paris, July 24-Large numbers of American field ambulance men are ar- irving in Paris. Sixty per cent. of them are of the draft age Several ambulance men have applied to American Army Headquarters for positions in the supply corps, but have been told they must enlist and take their chances on being assigned to the service.
 Many of these. men when they ar- rive in France realize their duty to their country demands a greater sac rifice than enlistment in the ambu- lance, and they hope the War De- partment will accept their enlistments in France.
 Some are trying to enter the French aviation service. They would prefer to enter the American avia- tion service, but are told they must return to America to join.1 Since most of the men are paying their own expenses they face a situation in which they must enter the ambulance srevice or go destitute.
 "I have been trying to join the American army" said one of these men today. "but it looks as if I must join the French. Seven of us arriv- ed with the Norton HarJeS unit and we have been in Paris 10 days. We re- fused to go out with the ambulance service because we all are of the draft age and we wish to avoid criticism. Besides we now realize what we did not realize while in the United States that we are needed here in the army.
 '"We applied first to the aviation ser vice, and then to the transport ser vice. but the American headquarters said their orders did not permit them to accept our en1istments.
 Many of us came over not to dodge military service, for we had joined the Ambulance Corps before war was declared, but because we wanted to be the first to the firing line. We are not afraid to fight, but we want to serve under the United States flag.
 We realize that the ambulance service is not the place for us, but the only opening left is with the French army. Even there we may be refused because we are of the draft age in an allied country.
 we are men without coun- try"
 The life of the ambulance driver is not altogether safe. Several have | been killed or wounded in the Ameri- | can service already this month
