SOUTH is NOW EAGER
FOR HOMEMADE CARS
Unusual Demand In Many Localities
This Scn>on-nIG stimulus To In
dustrInI Development.

Automobile sales in tho South have
increased tremendously within the last
year. In many localities tho demand
has been 50 great that Northern man
ufacturcrS have been unable to supply
the demand. Improved road condi-
tons. high prices for the cotton crop
and the general prosperity OF tho South
have all contributed 10 this greatly in
creased demand for automobiles. This
condition is adding 10 it's industrial
activities in leading local makers to
establish plants for the manufacture
Of motor vehicles
The Southern MANUFACTURES OF moto.
cars has practically just begun. but the
Years II VIII bc, one OF the big indus
tries.
y large South Carolina corporation
lately abandoned it's manufacture OF
buSGies and carriages and for the past
two or three years has been turning
out thouSa nds OF automobiles. The de-
mand IS 80 great that tho cars are
practically sold before the varnish is
dry. Another automobile corporation
has started in Georgia. with a capacity
OF 1000 cars a year, and having orders
for 10000 cars. There arc two other
successful automobile corporations. ono
in Virginia and one in Kentucky. and
others arc bcinC organized.
The United States motor census made
last July. showed that there were So
is5 cars and trucks in the South. as

This number is considerably larger
now. for a recent census in Georgia
gave that state over 10000 motor We
hicles.
Twenty years ago not a Southern
state had sculblancc OF a state high
way department. not n dollar Of state
appropriation went TO aid counties and
townships in construction and maintc-
nance Of their highways. To-day there
is not Southern State without a high
way department.
Maryland has "a superb system OF
state roads: Virginia has for ten wears
been building roads with the aid Of
state funds. until now the length OF tho
state aid roads exceeds 5000 miles:
Kentucky began its State aid policy in
1912 and has completed some $500
miles: Alabama has completed upward
OF 500 miles Of State aid roads: Cicor-
eia has been giving state aid TO road
work Tor years. and Louisiana for
seven years has been granting State aid
with the result that over 500 miles OF
roads have been constructed.
In ten years. as a result; OF the adj
vent OF the automobile. the Southern
states have constructed more than So
GOO miles OF surface roads, of which
5000 are composed OF hard material
gravel. macadam. brick, concrete. or
other hard pavement. The other 80
600 miles consist OF sand-clay surtac-
ing. which, considering the climatic
and traffic conditions OF the south
serve nearly every purpose that a more
costly hard road would provide.

The best answer to German
peace propaganda is sinking more
U-boats, sending more men to
France, speeding up our work
along every line, and heavy
subscription to the Fourth Liberty
Loan. Peace must mean the tri-
umph Of right and justice, the de-
feat of Germanism, not a truce
with it, not compromise with it.
Our soldiers in France are
gloriously doing their part tow
ard victory; the Liberty Loan
subscription must show them that
the people at home are doing
theirs.

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART

Some observers think that the
most characteristic thing about
the American soldiers in France,
something which astounds the en-
emy and excites the admiration
of our allies, is the capacity Of the
American soldiers to do individual
thinking and fighting. The Ger
man fights successfully only in
mass formation, in organized bod
les, while every American soldier
has an initiative and independence
Of action which gives him remark
able efficiency in open fighting.
They are not senseless cogs, but
each is an individual working unit
in a great fighting machine.
Every American at home should
feel an individual responsibility

NO CoVENANTED PEACE
WITH GERMANY

America, unless we repudiate
civilization and abandon human
ity and put a premium on savag-
cry and brutality, can make no
covenanted peace, no peace by
agreement or negotiation with
Germany. 1t would be a coven-
ant with hell, a partnership with
infamy.
Nor would such peace secure
peace, except so long as it suited
Germany. We can judge the fut-
ure only by the past, and to Ger
many sacred treaties are scraps of
paper only. Germany's whole
history is a record Of national
treachery, national bad faith, ma
tional dishonor, national murder,
and national infamy.
Article Sc of The Hague Con-
vention, to which Germany SOL
emily subscribed, is: Family
honor and rights, the lives of per-
sons and private property, as we'll
as religious convictions and prac.
tice, must be respected. Private
property can not be confscated." "
The world knows how Germany
has observed this article. There
are millions of individual witness
es to her fragrant breaches Of it.
Every acre of foreign soil Ger
many has occupied bears mute,
but unimpeachable evidence of it.
There is plenty Of German evi-
dence of it, too.
'"The goods Of different sorts
seized in the enemies territories
are in such large quantities that
the difficulty Of knowing where
to put them increases day by
day. At the request of the Prus
sian minister of war, all chambers
Of commerce have been asked tc
give all possible information with
) regard to storehouses, sheds, etc.
which could be used temporarily
, to warehouse the spoil" (Fron
the Frankfurter Zeitung, Janu
: ary, 1918.)
The German papers have beer
crowded with advertisements o:
: sale Of property taken from
: France and Belgium. Members 0:
the Reichstag have boasted of
] others have censured, the amoun
; Of booty brought to German!
