Automobiles

In 1916 there were $4,000 auto
mobiles and 251,OOO motor cycles
registered in this country according
to the U. S. office OF Public Roads.
The revenue they yielded in the form
of licenses and registration fees was
$25, 1865, 900. The revenue had in
creased AZ per cent over that for 1915
and the number of cars and motor
cycles had increased 40 per cent
About 80 per cent of the revenue was
spent on road improvements OF some
kind. The use OF the cars is shown
by the population per car in the diff
ferent states. The great agricultural
state of Iowa stands first, with a car
for every II persons, and then follow
California with twelve persons 10 each
car, Nebraska and South Dakota
with 13, Kansas with Is, Montana and
North Dakota with IS, Michigan with
10 and Indiana and Ohio with 20.
These are all agricultural states, and
it is certain, not only from these sta
tistics but also from common knowl-
edge, that the automible has become
a valuable part of the farmers equip
ment II is not the great manufact-
urins states, like New York, with a
car to every SO inhabitants, Or Penn
sylvania with car to every 81, that
show the highest popular use OF the
motor vehicle. The fact is, the farm
Ell, like the rancher in Arizona, where
there is a car for every Fl persons,
finds the automobile invaluable in re-
moveing the isolation Of country life,
and he is now willing TO concede that
good roads, which will enable him to
use his car at any time in the year,
are a necessity. Instead OF complain
ing that good roads are only desired
by the automobilist he wishes them
built SO that he can get the most ben
Eft from his ownership of an auto
mobile.

GERMAN AGENTS
 MUST LEAVE J. 5.
FORMER ATTACHES OF EMBAS- SY AND CCNSULATES ARE
 NOT DESIRED.
TIGHTEN THE SPY NETS
State Department Notifies Many Ger man Officials That Their Presence in America Is Undesirable and Re-
 quest Them to Leave U. S.

Washinston.-All Germans, former ly connected either with the embassy or any one of the many consulates in America, have been requested to leave the United States.
 Notification that their presence in America is undesirable has been sent to them by the State Department. They were not told that they were suspected of being spies, but the in- ference of their loyalty to the kaiser might make it difficult for them to remain in this country without at tempting to send information of mil itary character to their government, was made clear.
 Among the first to go will be Hen- rich Schaafhausen, formerly attach ed 10 the German embassy, but left behind by Count von Bcrnstorf, and since attached to the department of German interests of the Swiss lega- tion. In addition to SchaafhauseE, there is a long train of clerks and servants-at least they have served in such capacities in this country although the government has no means of knowing definitely what the exact status of most of them is with the German government There is ground for belief that some of them are persons of more importance to the German intelligence system.
 Dr. George Barthleme. the author of the much discussed dispatch to the Cologne Gazette at the time dip lomatic relations were severed, still is in Washington, but is required to report to certain government officials in person twice a week. Although the bulk of the German and Austrian embassy staffs departed with their ambassadors, two of Germany's allies stflT have their representative here.
 There are many indications that the government is taking steps 10 tighten the spy net and make even more difficult the going of military in formation to Germany.
 When the government agreed to al low the transfer of many former German employees to the Swiss lega- ton and consulates there :. was no state of war between the United States and Germany. But the declar- ation of war and the knowledge that Germany maintains an efficient spy system here have changed the gov ernment's attitude.

MEXICO 10 BREAK
 WITH KAISER BILL
ANTi-GERMAN SENTIMENT GROW, ING IN SOUTHERN REPUBLIC
 WAR IN THIRTY DAYS.

Fl Paso. TexaS.-Since the pro-ally
 campaign in Mexico was first started | by Fl Universal in Mexico the sen l timent favoring the allies has reach 1 ed Northern Mexico and during the l past 30 days a well-defined move
 ment favoring an open break wnh 1 Germany and the alignment of Mexi-
 co on tne side of the entente allies i has developed This has been in | spite of the pro-German sentiments i published daily in Chihuahua City i and in other papers believed to be i subsidized by the Germans in the
 north.
 A reflection of this sentiment was seen recently in the statement by l Gen. Francisco Gonzales, acting com <! mander-in-chie of the northeastern military zone. with headquarters in l Chihuahua. He was oyereharged by | the German firm of Ketelsen & Dege- 1 tau for some padlocks. The mana i ger was arrested and placed in the 1 penitentiary. The German consul
 made demand for his release "in the name of the imperial German gov ernment and the kaiser" according to Mexican official, who was present l at the time.
 Tell the German consul he, the ] imperial German government and the
 kaiser may all go to he'll" Gen. Con i gales answered
 Prominent MeXicans. men in close touch with the capital, predict Mexi- co will declare war on Germany with in 30 days. According to these men, all German money in Mexico City | Torreon. Chihuahua City and othn2 l banks will be seized as soon as war
 is declared, the German boats in Tam l pico and other ports will be seized, thereby giving Mexico q much-needed merchant fleet, and all Germans will either be interned CT deported at l once. their properties being confs-
 cated The Tampco oil fields will be
 made safer for the eil supply of the ! allied fleets by declaring a zone in which traffic would be restricted. an
 the mines. smelters and mills re- opened at once to produce munitions
 for the allies.
 We can do nothing in q military
 way in Europe" said one of them. But we can make Mexico safe for | the allied nations and for their prop critics. We can show our sympathy
 with the same cause for which we have been fighting for the past six years by aiding the allies in every
 way even though We are unable to assist materially in the war"
 The aati-German sentiment is not
 unopposed in the portb, as the Ger man residents Of Chihuahua City. Tor rec and other places have been spend
 ing money lavjshly entertaining off cals. army officers and influential
 citizens But with the usual German method they seem to have overplayed their hand and brought about a reac- tion by causing the naturally suspi-
 cious MeXicans to suspect they had an ulterior motive in their friend ship.

Il. s. TRANSPORTS
 BATTLE U-BOATS
FLOTILLh OF SUBMARINES TRIED
 TO SLAUGHTER ARMY DIVISION SINK ONE SUBMARINE.

Washing ton.--One and possibly more submarines were sunk in at tacking the transports which carried American forces to France, the com mittee on public information announc- ed. The last of the transports car rying the Pershing troops have ar rived in France. Not an American life was lost in crossing the Atlantic. Not an American ship was lost.
 Secretary Daniels made this state ment:
 "It IS with the joy of a great relief that l announce to the people of the United States the safe arrival Tn France of every fighting man and every fighting ship.
 Now that the last vessel has reach ed port, it is safe to disclose the dan gers that were encountered and to tell the complete story of peril and courage.
 "The transports bearing our troops were twice attacked by German sub marinsr on the way across. On both occasions the U-boats were beaten off with every appearance of loss. One was certainly sunk and there is req soon to believe that the accurate fire of our gunners sent others to the bottom
 For purposes of convenience the expedition was divided into contin- gents, each contingent including troop ships and a naval escort designed to keep off such German raifers as might be met.
 An ocean rendezvous had also been arranged with the American destroy CTS now operating in European wa ters. in order that the passage of the danger zone might be attended by every possible protection.
 ''The first attack took place at 10:3o on the night of June 72 What gives it peculiar and disturbing significance is that our ships were set upon at point well this side of the rendez- vous and in that part of the Atlantic presumably free from submarines.
 'The attack was made in force, al though the night made impossible any exact count of the U-boats gathered for what they deemed a slaughter.
 "The high seas convoy. ('rcling with their searchlights, answered with heavy gunfire, and it's accuracy stands proved by the fact that the tor pedo discharge became increasingly scattered and inaccurate. It is not known how many torpedoes were launched, but five were counted as they sped by bow and stern.
 "A second attack was launched few days later against anoLner con tingent. The point of assault was beyond tlle rendezvous and our de stroyers were sailing as screen be- tween the transports and all harm. The results of the battle were in favor of American gunnery.
