TRUCKS TO SOLVE
FEEDING PROBLEM
Packard Man Says That Au-
tomobile Will Have Much
to Do With Distribution
Of Foodstuffs Here.

Government experts surely will go
over every hauling problem relating
or indirectly to the big issue
now facing NOT only thn country. but
the world, and only the most econom-
zeal solution will be adopted, is the
opinion Of {. x. Norton. general sales
manager of the Packard Motor Car
company.
The Ontcomc OF the present strng-
gle depends in a large measure on the
available supply of food" says Mr..
Norton. Two important factors en-
ter into this problems: first, produce

The avalanche OF orders already
and about to be placed with n,anufac-
turers for the equipment of our army
means a terrific strain on our present
system of distribution. The motor

HUP ADVERTISING MAN
IS SOME Pen ARTIST

A high tribute Just was paid to
Hupmobie literature by n German
prisoner of war in one of the con-
centration camps in Natal, South At
rica. A. koppel, an interncd prisoner,
has written Advertising Manager
Frederick Dickinson, requesting that
all Hupmobile literature be sent him,
that he may be able more enioyably
to pass the time away. Mr.. Dickin-
son figures that if this idea spreads,
HupmObile literature will take it's
place along with the classic works of
Stevenson, o. Henry, jules Verne, etc.
Previous to the war, Mr. koppel was

BRITAIN CANNOT
 DEPORT REFUGEES
 TO NATIVE LANDS

London, Feb. 9-The British courts have decided that the government has no right to deport to Russia or France. citizens of those countries who have refuged here. An order of deporta- tion may be issued against any alien, but the order must not specify the country to which the deported alien must so.
 The decision completely nullifies the widely proposed deportatin of all allied aliens for military service in their own countries
 The test case discussed by the courts was that of the Duke de Cha teau Thierry. French subject of military age. resident in England prior to the war, against whom the British government made an order of deportation to France at the request of the French government. No of- fense or misconduct was alleged against the Duke, but the Home Sec- retary claimed the right to deport him under certain war legislation which authorized him to deport aliens while the war continues. whenever such deportation is incidental to the safety of the realm"
 The Duke contended that he was & royalist, and therefore a political re- fuge, and stated in his affidavit that he had been threatened, over the telephone, with the fate of being plac-

BULGARIAN PREMIER
 SEES WARS END NEAR

Berlin, Feb. 9-Premier Ladosla- voff of Bulgaria, in an interview with the Sofia correspondent of the Koel- hische Zeitung, is quoted as saying that coming events would only emphasize the success of the Central powers and would probably decide the whole war within reasonably short time. The correspondent adds that he learns that the Bulgarian government proposes to act toward the United States ''in accordance with it's obligations as an ally of the Central powers" He says that the people of Sofia regard the American course with equanimity.
 The Berlin press empnaslzes the assertion that Field Marshal won Hindenburg and his staff reckoned before hand with Americas decision and reached the conclusion that ruth less submarine warfare would bring advantages greater than the disad- tages oe American hostility. The papers generally express the opinion that the prospects of an early peace are now better than ever.

e"Pape's Diapepsin" ends all stomach distress in five
 minutes.

You don't want slow remedy when your stomach is bad--or an uncertain one-or a harmful one-your stomach Is too valuable; you mustn't injure it with drastic drugs.
 Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's speed in giving relief; it's harmless ness; its certain unfailing action ip regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. It's millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over.
 Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home-keep it handy-get a large fifty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nau- sea; eructations of acid and undigest- ed food-remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. It's promptness, certainty and ease in oven coming the worst stomach dis orders is a revelation to those who try it.-Adv.

LINERS BRAVE DANGERS
 OF SUBMARINES

New York, Feb. 9-A number ot persons who had engaged passage TOT Europe on ships of the American line showed their readiness to brave the dangers of the submarine zone by cancelling their reservations to- day and booking on ships flying the flags of belligerent nations. Some or them, however, took passage on the French liner Espagne, which sails on Sunday for Bordeaux and a few en- gagged cabins on the White Star liner Lapland, which will sail for Liverpool on Tuesday or Wednesday.
 There are now only about 40 first cabin passengers left on the St. Louis of the American line, but 1t is pre- dicted that more will be booked as soon the line decides to send her out. The 60 second class and 20 third class passengers are standing by the St. Louis because most of them have ht- tie money and in a majority of cases their hotel bills are paid by the steamship company.
 A wireless message from a passen- ger on the Holland-American liner Ryndam as given out here contained information that the liner, which sail- ed from New York for Rotterdam Jan. 29, and turned back within a few hours of Falmouth, was warned by a German submarine to turn about just before entering the war zone. In this case it is believed that the captain of the Ryndam acted on his own ini- tiative for the safety of his ship and passengers.
 The American liner Kroonland is due here late today but on account of bad weather she may not arrive before tomorrow. The Kroonland left Liverpool on Jan. 31.
 Only American vessel to clear here for a European port since last Sat- urday is the Orleans, owned by the Oriental Navigation Go. She got her papers yesterday for Bordeaux.

 The French government disclaimed any political animus against him, or any intention to treat him as sug- gested, but claimed him as of mili- tary age and subject to military ser vice.
 The courts, without entering into these disputed questions of fact took the broad ground that while the Home Secretary has discretion to make deportation order, he has no power to select the country to which the deported alien must go. The order was accordingly quashed and the Duke restored to liberty.

THE MADE-OvER INDIAN

Not such great while ago people who lived on the far side of the Mis- souri River read the works of Coop CT as humor. He gave the Indian an air of dignity, a high standing Tor honor, even an aspect of industry Trans Missouri settlers knew Indians They came in contact with them Cooper's concept seemed so different from reality that, with no effort al all, the reader could make himself believe he was reading satire.
 Now of all the changes which time has wrought in the plains and noun tain country none is more marvellous than the alteration of opinion on the subject of Indians The aborigines have actually come into a new world as regards the white mems attitude toward them. It is no longer consid- cred a worthy simile to speak of the town loafer as being "as lazy as an Injun". It is no longer the right and proper thing, to be encouraged by the best citizens, to skin Indians at Dar- ter. to reduce them to nakedness by trickery. Today it is a crime to kill an Indian. There are men who have not yet reached the stage of grandpar- entage who remember when the slaughter of Indians was virtue.
 This great transformation has been brought about by the Indians them selves. They have bettered their liv- ing conditions. They have acquired education. Thirty per cent or all the Indians in the country talk the Eng fish language. Gwen more of them wear the white mems clohtes. As property owners, they are to be en- vied. As workers in the field, rail- road laborers, storekeepers, office holders, lawyers, and capitalists they hold their own.
 Some old stagers will never be able to read the Leatherstocking tales without laughing. But their children take Cooper in all seriousness. His Indian is real to them.-Toledo Blade.
