American motorists should take
sweet satisfaction, now that their
country Is involved in war. in the
fact that the largest automobile tire
factories in the world are located
within the confines OF the United
states, according to Count Richard
Hamilton. representing A v. Holm,
Of Stockholm, who looks after the
Peerless business in Sweden.

Two new. important factors in the
AFFAIRS Of the Luttrell Company ar
rived here within the last week In A.
H. Allen, who is now general man.

Packard Twin Six.
Allen comes to Washington with
tremendous record for achievement
He has been a Packard man for years.
He was special representative Of the
Packard factory and general sales
manager of the Packard Motor Car
Company of Boston.
While in Boston Allen established
sales records which have neither heen
equaIed nor approached. The hrst or
these was a record of eighty-eight
sales Of Packards in one week. The
second and by far the most Astounding
accomplishment was a record maze
on November OF last year, just De-
fore the price Of the Packard in
creased $3.50. At midnight on that day
Allen sent out loo night kilograms
TO prospective users. and as result
sold III Packards in a. single day. In

Arm he sold 1900 cars.
Opened Many Agencies.
He began his automobile career
with the General Motors Company as
special representative, and during the
period of this connection took the en-
tire line to Cuba and South America,
where he opened agencies for olds-
mobile, Buick, Cadillac, and Oakland.
Previous to this time he spent sew
enteen years as contracting engineer
ir the steel business and has built 30
many steel bridges and similar strue-
lures that he can never live in a level
country unless it is surrounded by wa

He comes to Washington at the very
auspIcious hour Of the new Packard's
arrival from the factory, and in view
Of the fact that he will direct its des-

talized the name Of Sam, announces
that due to conditions beyond his
control, he will no longer dispense
the vivifying libation at his estab-
lishment at Eleventh and the Ave

shall have dawned.
Sam-long a minister potential to

Motorists leaving the new quar-
tiers will leave more often with the

They will leave with a buoyancy
that will be pleasantly novel.

AN AMERICAN-GERMAN VIEW

Below is a letter from a Wisconsin
boy to his home paper, and it is so
good in every way, that we want our
Register friends to read it.:
Dear Editor: Nearly every one will
admit, | believe, that in our relations
with each other we will some time
recall the most important event that
has occurred during our life time.
The sailor would perhaps mention
some naval battle in which he has
taken part. The civil war veteran
would speak of the Battle of Gettys-
burg, battle of Shiloh, or another en-
gagement equally important.
The college man recalls various
athletic contests in which has taken
part.
To the American of German descent
the fact that he has served his time
under the kaiser military system. Is
without a doubt considered the most
notable occurrence in his career and
naturally has a tendency to solidify
and bring together as n compact
mass. the German people.
Looking back to the year 1914 and
I'D to the time of Americas entrance
into this war, we find that a certain
amount of feeling has arisen between
those favoring the Central powers and
the class looking for the Allies to win
1t was not considered disloyal fol
German people in America to look tc
the German kaiser to win the Euro

pean war providing he did so accord
ing to the rules Of the "a game.
Neither was it considered an act of
disloyalty for anyone favoring Eng.
land, France and the rest Of the Allied
nations. These conditions faced the
American people for a period Of two
years, long enough for the breech be
tween the various n|ationalities in this
Great Melting Pot to widen and al
most result in a definite stand.
After numerous fragrant violations
Of international law and after com
hitting dastardly atrocities by Ger
many hardly conceivable to the human
mind, our president declares war on
Germany. Now we have those who
have looked for the great military ma
chimes Of Germany to win this war
and the other side that hoped for Al
lied nations to win. AS | said a mo
mcnt ago these conditions had con
tinued for a period of two years each
side trying to lay the blame on the
other. As a result of Americas en-
trance into this war those favoring
the Central powers have to about face
and fight side by side with former al

to step in to untangle things why
fight is the word.
The German people taken as a class
are looked upon as an honest, peace
loving, industrious American citizens.
They are slow to anger and perhaps
a little slow in taking a definite stand.

The trouble is this war has not be
come a reality to many. Also the fact
that German-American newspapers
were, until squelchcd, striking at the
very roots Of this government. Add
ed to this we have the senior senator
from a state with a large percentage
of German citizens taking a treason
able stand against the government
while the sons of these very Germans
are about to cross the waters for Eu-
rope.
AS | am writing this, | hear the fell
low across the table mention the fact
that he is from Waterloo. the lad on
my right is from GAINESVILLE. Both are
sons of German parents.
As | listen to roll all | think that
a fair percentage are of German par
entage.
The point | wish to make is that
duration of war before we entered it,
the fact that it has not, but will as
surely as the sun rises and sets, be-
come a reality; also the work Of Ger
tain Germans paid propaganda and
the stand of LaFollette has made it
doubly hard for the German people.
