The policeman came out of an alley
in the business district dragging after
nun negro caught in trivial Of
fense. The negro was tattered spec

been of his shirt had been almost
demolished in his struggle TO wrest
himself from the policemans grasp.
Ills trousers were ragged ana sagged
hopolessly. If he had had a hat he
had lost 1t in his flight.
AS the policeman dragged his cap

Frequent demonstrations by the po-

man becomes his dog never deserts

The dog continued TO cireie about

RAILROADS SHOW EFFICIENCY
Increased Tonnage Hauled and Re
duccd Shortage of Cars.

United States railways performed n
record breaking feat in May when they
hauled the largest monthly traffic in
history. Total traffic, measured by
eIoss revenues of over 1858. .OOO,-
600. exceeding that of last october.
speak Of unprecedented movement Of
last year, by nearly s7.SO0,00O. The
figures apply 20 the countrys entire
operated mileage of approximately
100000 miles, and are based on Off
tial figures of the Interstate Com
inerce Commission apply ing to a par
tal mileage. This is the first time
since monthly returns have been pub
lished in the United States that May
mas exceeded October. usually the peak
of traffic.
That our railways Thus were able to
handle a tonnage larger than that of
last autumn, when it was widely be-
lleNed the limits of their capacity had
been reached, is one of the most con-
spicuous evidences yet afforded Of
heir present unparalleled efficiency.

SECRETARY OF WAR
LAUDS ELGIN EFFORT.
Newton d. Baker Considers
Motor Corporations Road
Work Most Worthy.

Newton ID. Baker, secretary OF war,
Car corporation, has expressed his in
terest in the results of the road in
vestieations being conducted by Roy
s. Marsh and Edward M Lawrence,
who are in charge of the Elgin six"
national all trails scout car now en-
gagged in a 12,000-mile trip over the
Lincoln highway, the National Old
Trails road and the Dixie highway.
In his letter, Secretary Baker states
that "a general discussion of the
character OF the roads in various
sections of the country, upon the
completion of the journey. would be
very useful and would be appreciated
by the department"
Every precaution is being taken to
guard the car and the valuable notes
on road information which are being
collected along the way, and which
later will be sent TO Secretary Baker.
Photographs are also being taken
along the way, and IL is planned to
file these also with the war depart
ment. one of the objects of Charles
S. Rieman, vice president and gem
eral manager of the Elgin Motor Car
corporation of Chicago, in extending
the scout cars trip from sixty TO rs
days duration, instead Of attempting
to make il "A speed event. was to give
plenty of time for gathering informa-
tion of value to the war department
authorities.
Starting from Chicago August 4,
the Elgin scout car has already
reached Cheyenne, Wyo., and is con-
tinuing westward along the Lincoln
highway to San Francisco. Mr.. Marsh
reports coming across many campers
tented at the roadside, either unable
to secure hotel accommodations or
camping out thru choice. Touring
traffic is exceptionally heavy at this
time, he states, due chiefly to the
improved well-marked roads. Re-
garding the marking of the Lincoln
highway, Mr.. Marsh sends the in
formation that this is so perfect II is
unnecessary to carry a road map.
Crops are bumper, and farmers are
in highway improvements"

OVERLAND DEMAND
STARTLES MOTORD0M
Sales for July Exceed Those
Of Any Other Month in
Company's History.

On but few occasions in the his
tory of the industry have automobile
selling records attracted the atten-
ton that has been accorded those Of
WHY'S Overland, Inc, during the last
two months. When, in the early days
of July, the company announced that
its June retail sales had exceeded
those of any other month in the his
tory OF the organization a murmur Of
astonishment and surprise was heard
from coast to coast.
Such a record had heretofore been
unheard of in times OF more or less
unsettled business conditions. The
company, however, followed this up
with another record breaking report
for the first week of July, which more
than confirmed the June announce
ment. by this time 1t became obvi-
Gus to motor car men the country over
that the big Toledo institution was
setting a pace never before heard Of
under similar circumstances.
on the first Thursday in August
the most striking announcement of
all was made when a compilation Of
the figures covering July retail sales
revealed the amazing total of s13,-
611,775, an increase of s2,500,000
over the splendid achievement of
June. on top of this, the factory Of
ficials insist that there is no evi-.
-dence of a letup even now and that
their distributors. proud of the rec
ords which they have just made, are
going after the business with redou-
bled energy.
How do You do it?" is the ques-
ton most commonly heard among
visitors at the Overland plant just at
this time.
John n. WHY'S, as head of the big
organization, answers the question as
follows:
ut should not be so much a ques-
tion as to how we make the sales as
question concerning how we con-
ceived a line of cars which would
prove so popular with the public. OF
course, we would not take any credit
away from the statesmen who have
made those enviable records. In fact,
we are confident that we have one of
the stronGes-Selling organizations in
the industry Nevertheless the most
expert statesmen in the world could
not do what our men have done this
year unless they had product to
offer which was possessed of unusual
merit"

GERMANS STUNNED
 BY U. S. SOLDIERS
Prisoners Hardly Believe Their
 Eyes on Seeing Troops

A French Port, June 27 (delayed) -only few hours after tho arrival or the American expeditionary force at this port the men were established Ill thelr camp. By noon tirlc order hau been brought out of chaos The trlps after mess being given to put tlhe thelr camp in order, a task which they accomplished with the aid of a 1eW score Of amazed and seemiacIy paralyzed German prisoners, most of whom refused to believe that a small American army had arrived to fight their countrymen.
 The first American troops to reach port arrived during the night and be- cause of the late hour and unexpected selection of this town as the scene of the historic debarkation they were seen by few. In the gray of the early dawn the remaining vessels could be seen nearly mile down the harbor preceded by battleship and sur rounded on every side by destrcyers AS the wind suddenly shifte the Amer 1can colors floating on the top masts, whipped in the breeze, became vis- ible and a great cry of welcome surged from the waiting crowds. As the ves- sells neared the quay bugles sounded and the soldiers and sailors, who had been leaning along the rails in such numbers that the ships careened slightly, turned sharply toward the stern and saluted the flag. The crowd stood silent for a moment as thcu:h in awe. Hats were removed as the strains of America" pealed out. The people joined in a tremendous chorus of reception as the morning salute to the colors was concluded.
 Although the arrival of the ships came almost as a complete surprise to the inhabitants of the town, the neces- sary delay in unloading gave every one opportunity to hoist flags from the house tops and by the time the troops were in the streets the town was ablaze with colors.
 By companies the soldiers started for the camp where they are to re- main for the present in training and in preparation for orders transferring them nearer to the front.
 The people cheered each company as it passed, even each van truck and then, in their enthusiasm, forgetful of the heat, turned toward the camp. They were eager not to miss the slightest detail of the encampments of the Americans they had heard so much about and wanted to see.
