Is million men are available for
military service in the United
States, according to an estimate
of the executive committee of
the committee on national de-
Tense appointed by Mavor Nit
chell of New York. There are
now physically fit for service in

men between the ages of l8 and
45 years.
If the unorganized manhood
strength of the United States is
imposing, the industrial capacity
of the nation is even more i'm
pres5ive. With less than one
tenth of the worlds population,
we make nearly one-third of all
the things produced.
In iron and steel, for instance,
we turn out more than Great
Britain and Germany, the TWO
next largest producers, do togeth-
er.
Some observers have estimated
the present industrial capacity
of the United States at as much
as all the rest of the world put
together. While this is perhaps
an overestimate, large scale pro-
duction has been carried to such
a fine point here that no nation
can approach us in the total pro-
duced per worker.
The average American pro-
duces more per hour of labor
than the citizens of any other
nation. We rely on mechanical
power three times more per man
than Germany, and five times
more than France.

WHAT UNITED STATES

While people Of the United
States are still clinging to the
hope that the trouble with Ger
many can be settled in an ami
cable manner and that It will
not he necessary to resort to
force Of arms in order to main
tain our rights. nevertheless the
situation is hanging by a very
slender thread which is bound to
snap very soon. The United
States is raj preparing for
war. Preparations for quickly
modelling all Of our resources.
industrial and military, on plans
previously made. are going for
ward. They provide for quick
action and team work on the
part of railways. manufacturers
and merchants If war comes.
The United States is equipped
in private industry as never be-
fore for furnishing to the army
and navy almost everything that
might be needed in time of war.
Figures giving the exports Of
the United States during the last
year, as issued by the depart
ment of commerce, give a COM
prehensive idea Of the vast re-
sources of the United States.
The great significance of these
figures is that they represent an
output in excess of our own re-
quirements.
Whereas in 1914 we sold boots
and shoes worth 10 million dol
lars, in 1916 we sent, mainly to
Europe, AZ million dollars worth.
1t is even more interesting to
know that in 1916 we sold abroad
footwear for % million pairs of
feet.
But we are prepared for turn
ing out of huge quantities of
rifles and hand grenades as well.
The merger of the Remington
Arms company and the United
Metallic Cartridge Co. at Bridge
port, Conn, makes it possible
for one concern alone to put out
more small arms than formerly
all the American plants com
bined could make.

Paige Obliged to
Turn Down Many
Trainload Orders

That the record Of the Paige De-
troit Motor Car company made in
March, when the number OF cars
shipped and the volume of business
transacted exceeded by IS per cent
that Of any other month in its history,
was not merely an exceptional incl
dent, but part of general progress
sive trend that will mark the entire
season, is proved by the conditions
that continue TO prevail.
in spite of the declaration of war
and other distracting and hampering
factors, there has been no let UP, but
a constantly increasing demand from
all parts Of the country" says Harry
M. Jewett, president Of the company.
we had greatly increased all our
facilities for production and had met
the greatest demand we had ever had
by granting our dealers extra large
schedules. These preparations have
proved entirely inadequate and we
have been forced, much as we re-
GREETED it, to turn down insistent re-
quests for very large additional ship
f1ents.
"For example, w. H. Horton, our
distributor at Fargo, N. D., made a
special trip to Detroit to urge. US to
send him trainload OF $50 cars for
immediate delivery--thesc to be in.
addition to his regular allotment.

that we would send him special

Entrance Of U. S. Into the
War Spells Prosperity

Now that our country has been
thoroughly embroiled in the titanic
war, there exists in the minds Of some
men feeling of uncertainty as to its
effect upon business conditions here
on this side OF the Atlantic. Contrary
to rather general impression that
prevails in this country, big bust
ness is apparently not at all worried
over the international complications.
The following statement from A. R.
Erskine, president Of the Studebaker
corporation. certainly sounds an op-
timistic note concerning future pros
pects.:
"A state Of war always stimulates
an active demand for the products of
the mines. fields and factories" SAYS
Mr. Erskine, "and the United States
has felt this demand from foreign
countries for the last three years to
an extensive degree. The entry Of the
United States into the war simply
increases the demand and consequent
ly large increases in prices have en-
sued recently for all agricultural prod
ucts, live stock and food supplies gen.
orally.
This is no time for any man to
feel pessimistic. The great resources
of the United States, its energy and
power are being employed in the war
and large expenditures must ensue.
which in themselves mean prosperity
for our people, in spite of the high
prices and increased taxes that will
prevail while the war continues"

Must Put Back Into Auto
Batteries What Comes Out

The owner Of a modern motor car
Is often heard to ask, How can
keep my battery charged Ny lamps
burn dim and the starter Is weak" !,
In a great many cases this COM
plant is due to the fact that the own
er does not drive his car sufficiently
without the lights burning or the
starter being operated to generate
enough current so that the battery
will supply the demand OF the lights
and the starter when necessary.
This is especially true among the
class OF car owners who drive short
distances daily, using their starting
motor considerably and not putting
back into the battery the same amount
Of current they take out. Then they
drive their cars at night with the
lights burning and oftentimes let their
cars stand at the curb with the motor
dead and the lights still burning and
using current from the battery.
Every car owner must remember
that 1t is necessary to drive at fifteen
or twenty miles an hour to generate
enough current to effect the battery
to any extent A well cared for bat
terry is just about as dependable a
thing as there is on a motor car, but
one which if not given the proper at
tention will soon cause a lot of trouble
and expense to the owner.

Guy L. Smith.
More than $4,000 people Of Mexico

Munoz, held first place in the big La
Condcsa speed event, although on the
fifth lap 1t burst the left rear tire and
thereafter held the mastery running
on the naked detachable rim. The
Super-six kept first place until within
half lap Of the finish, when the un-
evenly distributed strain on the naked
rear wheel caused Munoz to, steer
faulty and the Super-six csreened
and rolled over. The damage could
not be repaired in time to allow
Munoz to win, but when the Super
six came to the finish it was given

Pierce-Arrow Trucks Have
Solved Coal Haul Problems

Until two fve-ton Pierce-Arrows
were installed in its service the Bow
enville Coal company Of Fall River,
Mass, had a serious problem in its
delivery Of coal. Horses could not
make time on the steep hills that
abound in this vicinity, and were
stalled in every burst Of bad weather.
By applying two hve-ton Pierce
Arrows the Bonneville company not
only makes better time, but also eff
fects a money saving in operating
costs.
Coal is hauled to the various mills
of the city from the company's pier
On the river. The beginning of the
haul is a stiff grade, and there are
many hills throughout the city. But
the power of the Trucks carry them
over all grades.
Each truck averages $500 tons de-
liycred per month and the mileage
ranges from 1913 in January to 1886 in
October.
Customers have expressed their
pleasure with the improved service.
