recruits are from the higher educa-

schools, with few peasants, factory

women were accepted, but none who
had children.
Most of them ere between 18 and

wear their hair short or have their
heads entirely shaved. The girls

COULD CRUSH U-BOATS.
II that could be done, it is argued,
the U-boat bases Gould be stamped
out and the only offensive instrument
of the Germans be eliminated entirely
or made ineffective.
1t would require combined army
and navy operations, for it would be
necessary to force landing behind
the German line and force the whole
right flank back from the sea as a re-
suit.
The price of such a victory against
the U-boats and German shore bat
teries probably would be appalling.
and there is nothing to indicate that
the effort is being seriously consid-
cred.
Reports from France, official and
unofficial, so far as known, give no
cheering picture of what must be
done. There appears no doubt that
the allied line can stand against any
force Germany can bring against it.
Even the Russian disaster does not
affect that situation. But to gather
the necessary strength for a success
tul offensive will take time and ample
ocean transportation facilities if the
United States is to furnish the need
ed surplus of men, airplanes, NUM-
tons and food.
Need New Rail Lines.
The transport problems before the
United States both on land and sea
are constantly increasing in scope. 1t
seems certain now that whole railroad
systems will have to be set up in
France to give the American line the
flow of war materials and men that it
must have to press home an attack.
There is an old military rule that
fortified position cannot be taken by
direct attack, but must be turned or
isolated. Some observers here say
the allied offensive has consisted only
of direct attacks against fortifcations
stronger than any fort of former days,
in effect a fortified belt from the sea
to the Swiss border that is perhaps
more than one hundred miles wide.
1t is the belief of some military

STUDEbAKER SHOWS
 CONF F|DENCE ABOUT
 MOTOR JAR FUTURE

If the great world conflict, in which America is playing a leading role, should continue another year two years or longer-what will happen to the automobile industry" is a question that has been asked of everyone con nected with the business since our entry into the war. Dire things have been predicted for the motor car man ufacturer-conscript of plants by the government. curtailed production because of a shortage of materials. falling off of sales due to war econo- my lack of shipping facilities, etc. and. Of course, all these things do loom large in the future. but as for Americas fourth largest industry be- coming pessimistic-read what just one big manufacturers is doing.
 As to the stability of Stakeholder and our confidence ill the future of the automobile industry let me empha- size our position by saying that Stude- baker is spending millions of dollars for the construction of new plants at South Bend, and for the erection of modern, up-to-date branch buildings in various important sections of the country" says R. T. Hodgkins general sales manager of the Studebaker cor poration
 For still further proof of our pros perity and faith in the future I might add that to date, Stakeholder has loaned the government two million dollars. Studebaker purchased a mil lion dollars worth of the first r. $. liberty bonds and when the second loan was floated We promptly took an other million dollars worth Not only that Studebaker, through it's big Can adlan factories. at Walkerville On tarlo, purchased a million dollars worth of the Dominion of Canada wa, bond issue. Our patriotism Is sub stantial and real-our faith in the fu ture is backed by our money.
 The new buildings at South Bend will cost approximate tely B. 900. 0GO when finished. Work on them is progressine e rapidly and l expect they will all be in full operation before winter sets in This new construction work includes a modern machine shop of 129 500 solIare feet; d four story dry kiln of 122.976 square feet-the largest and finest structure of its kind in the world. 2 forge shop of 13S.SS0 square feet and q huge power house with total of 9s05 square feet. All of these buildingA are or reinforced concrete construction throughout
 Additions to our great plants in DetrOlt begun q year ago have now been completed and machinery already installed for their capacity operation
 To facilitate the handling of our great volume of sales throughout the country we have found it necessary to build our own branch buildings at Portland, Ore, Atlanta Ga. Philadel- phia, Pa, and Des Moines, Ia. These modern establishments costing many thousands of dollars. will. when com
