rendered impossible the shipment of
cars and trucks to New York City, Mr..
Johnston laid out an entirely new
"driveaway" route between Cleveland
and New York to which he gave the
name of the Liberty Highway. This
has already become the principal ar
terry of motor traffic between the two
cities. His recent vigorous article.
"Wake Up, America" in which he
showed how the neglect of some of
our principal highways has seriously
delayed the war progress, attracted
wide attention.
He is member OF the committee
on commercial law and the committee
on city conditions of the Merchants
Association, director Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, mem
ber Of the Society Of Automotive En-
gineers and a member of the Bankers
Lotos, Engineers. New York Athletic
and Columbia University clubs.
Mr.. Johnston will at once transfer
his headquarters to Washington. He
