More Than 100000 Cars
In the United States Today

WASHINGTON-In 1916 there were
1,067,332 more motor cars registered
in the United States than in 1915.
This was an increase of 43 per cent
The gross total of registered cars, in
Guiding commercial cars, was 3,513,-
996; the number of motorcycles reg
istered was 250,820. The several states
collected in registration and license
fees including those of chauffeurs and
operators, total gross revenue of
$25,865, 369.75. Of this amount 92
per cent, or $23,91O,811, was applied
directly to construction, improvement,
or maintenance of the public roads in
43 states, according to figures COM
piled by the office of public roads of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, in circular 70, Automobile Reg
istrations, Licenses and Revenues in

The figures for 1916 correspond
very closely with the annual percent
age increase of motor car registration
of the last three years. This yearly
increase has averaged 40 per cent IN
the number of cars and so per cent in
revenues.
When viewed over a period of
years, the increase in motor car reg

remarkable. In 1906 the total state

WHY PROGRESS IS
SLOW in THE WEST
MILITARY EXPERT TELLS OF BAT.
TIE STRATEGY OF THE BRIT
ISL IN FRANCE
BY F. W. GETTY

LONDON-"Why is it after British
forces have broken the German lines,
as at Bullecourt, Messines and Vimy
Ridge, they don't push on through"
One of England's foremost strateg-
lists was asked this question today
Here is his anwer.
1.-THE whole process of this year is
matter of lines Of communication.
The reason the British offensive seems
to nibble a bit of the Hindenburg line
in the north and then strike few days
later far to the south, is the vital ne
cessity of establishing communicating
lines and of consolidating positions.
when the British move forward a
terrific artillery preparation which has
left little of the enemy trenches but
powder and corpses, they don't find
many Germans there-not live ones at
least. The Germans know day or so
in advance when a big push is coming.
They can't help 1t. They fall back to
their reserve lines in the rear, and
consolidate their guns and men, ready
for counter attack.
"The way to stop this counter at
tack and hold the advantage we have
won is to rush up our heavy guns and
be ready to cut them to pieces when
they try to come back
81 have seen As miles of railway laid
in three days. Our engineers at the
front work night and day and this is
largely why when we once get hold OF
a piece of the Hindenburg line, we hold
on to it. Bulldog tenacity, the papers
call it, but it's military knowledge and
foresight just as much.
'Furthermre, when the Germans feel
sure that certain spot at which the
British have been hammering is about
to be attacked, they rush their reserves
and guns over to back up that particul-
ar sector. Then is the time for us to
strike somewhere else while they are
using all their energy to stop US at an
other point"

To protect the rights of citizens, the
American people have several times
opposed tryannical governments--the
English government in 1776 and 1872,
the French government for short
period in 1898, the Mexican govern
ment in 1S4S, the Spanish government
in 1898. The final effects in each case
has been to advance the cause of lib
erty and democracy throughout the
world, even in the countries against
which We fought. Our weapons have
not willingly been turned against any
peoples, but only against the rulers
who misgoverned and misled them. In
| fighting for our own rights, the Amer
lean Army has fought also, in Presi-
dent Wilson's phrase, for the rights
of mankind"
For like high purpose, the Ameri.
can people have entered into the pres.
ent war against the German govern
ment-a government which in our be-
lief misrepresents and misleads the
German people. Only by so doing car
We make America and the world "saft
for democracy" But one ending car

guarantee the continuance of all those
principles and rights which the Amer.
lean Army has in the past so nobly
fought to establish.

slant, of the fact that all your train.
ing, your efforts, and your sacrifices
have this one great object in view, the

LESSON 1
YOUR POST OF HONOR

You are called to serve as a soldier
in the National Army, because that is
one of your obligations as a citizen OF
the United States. The citizens of
republic must always be ready in the
hour of need to leave their own homes
and take up arms in defense of their
rights and principles. Otherwise the
Republic could not long continue to
exist. The men who now enter mill
tary service deserves the gratitude and
respect of their fellow citizens.
You are doubtless making a heavy
sacrifice in order to perform this duty
to your country. Hundreds of thou
sands of other young men and their
families are face to face with similar
sacrifices. All our citizens will soon
err or later be called upon. each to bear
his or her share of the burden. Men
and women, rich and poor, all alike
must do whatever is necessary and
must give up whatever is necessary.
For no personal interests or feelings
can be permitted to stand in the way
at time when the safety and honor
of the country are at stake,
AS citizen soldier you are chosen
for a post Of special distinction.
America is justly proud of the soldiers
of the past who have won for us the
rights today denied and put in serious
danger by the high-handed attacks of
the German Government. America
will be no less proud of you, as you
fight to uphold those rights,
Your personal responsibility is
great. AS warfare is today conducted,
the individual soldier counts for more
than ever before. Your own skill and
bravery, no matter how humble your

of the German airplane raid last ey-

deadly bombs unfortunately The
raid, which claimed the lives of sew
enty-siX persons and caused injuries
to 175 others, proved more deadly
than any raid which the Zeppeins
have made on England since the -
ginning of the war.
