Automobile Army One Of Many
Modified For Action in France

Sept. 5.-(Correspondence Of the AS
ISOLATED Press)-There are all kinds
OF armies these war days. and today
we saw an army of automobiles drawn
up in brigades and regiments. every
conceivable kind of motor vehicle for
carrying on the many war activities.
These were ammunition cars, tank
cars for carrying gasoline, steel
trucks by the hundred, ambulance
cars for the wounded, signal service
cars with complete wireless outfit and
all the equipment for field signalling,
recognizance cars on which Is men
make a recognizance into enemy
country battalion after battalion of
touring cars for hea dquarters and
other branches Of the service and mo-
torcycles for the despatch bearers. 1t
was like half dozen big automobile
expositions rolled into one, and all
devoted to the one business of carry
ing on the war.
The commandant led the way
through Wilson avenue of the huge
plant and then turned into Roosevelt
avenue. On one side stretched away
a half mile square Of motor vehicles
in such vast array as to be fairly
bewildering but all lined up in regu-
lar formation like soldiers ready to
move forward to the front. On the
other side stretched away acre after
acre of buildings for the innumerable
branches of this work, and between
them in the open spaces armies of
soldiers in over-alls setting up all
kinds of motor cars. Everywhere
were stacked the masses of knock
down" parts just arrived from the
United States; mountains Of wheels
and sides. motors. batteries, radiators
and block after block of huge crates
containing the big classics of the
many types Of war cars.
AS the commandant passed along
he summed up the magnitude of the
work. Sixty-two complete trucks and
cars have been turned out in one day
This is the record at the start, with
monthly output Of 1900 cars and
500 motorcycles, and much greater
production when the organization gets
under way. In theory, these are all
standard parts which need only to
be fitted together, an easy task ap-
parently as most of the preliminary
construction is done in the factories
in America. But in fact, so say those
who do the work, these parts do not
fit; they have to be shaped and fitted
after arrival. Then there are many
factories sending many kinds Of parts.
Some factories send complete equip
ment, such as bolts and the heavy

EATON, o., Sept. 5.-Jesse L. Has
ton, president Of the county fair board

wooden stills for trucks. But other
factories do not send the bolts or stills.
Allied Machinery.
I There is no time to wait for these
missing parts, for war is going on
and cars are being modified like men.
What is not here must be made. And
from this has grown a huge industry
Of government war production. with
big workshops and machinery for max
ing bolts and stills and all the various
parts, and for testing and making over
dynamos and generators, and even
for constructing the trim bodies and
frames and thus turning out practic-
ally an entire car.
A long line of ovens was passed in
which we saw some of the delicate
parts of the mechanism being baked
and dried to cure them from the damp
ness of the sea journey. The sea air
plays many tricks on these parts. We
saw the field windings of generators
covered with sea rust and green
mould All of these have to be baked
and made over. Fiber is considered
in America as one of the best non
conductors for automobile construc-
ton. But on the sea journey this
fiber swells and becomes almost use
less. Radiators also suffer much on
board ship
In the workshops long lines of "al-
lied machinery" indicated how the
war was bringing the nations together
in industrial production. Each lathe
and mechanical tool bore this allied
mark, with the flags Of the allied ma
lions entwined, and the marks of
Paris. Turin, Petrograd and the cen
tiers of great world production. But
below the casting showed the allied
machinery came from Waynes boro,
Pa, Cincinnati and the other centers
of American production.
Over section four of the big shops
waved large American flag.
That represents something more
than patriotism" said the command
ant.
THE section that makes the big
gest output has the honor of carrying
the flag for a week, and if there Is
slack time there is a day off as a
bonus
when the big German offensive be-
gan there was tremendous demand
for trucks to get our material forward.
We called the men together and gave
them a little talk on the part they
were to play in the crisis. Every man
was keen to do his part. The flag
was made the prize for turning out
the most work. Before that day clos
ed we had turned out 60 complete
trucks. These are the things which
are helping to win the war, and they

deceived the American Government
with truly Prussian arrogance" as
we'll as British and French Prize
Courts. as to the real ownership OF the
property, according to Francis H. Gar
van. Investigator for the Custodian,
who made public last night summary
Of Wagner's activities.
The ships were in fact bought with
German gold. and the company was
organized eight months after the out
break Of hostilities with funds which
Ambassador. caused to be transmitted
here for Wagner's benefit. Wagner
under the examination of Mr.. Garvan,
protested the ships were American
owned until the last, but finally con-
fessed before the weight Of evidence
that the backing of this venture to
keep German commerce on the high
seas came from German shipping in
terests.
Watched by Navy.
Suspicion toward the American
transatlantic company was enter
tanned by this Government from the
time that Wagner sought to have his
eleven ships, then flying neutral flags,
transformed to American registry.
While he succeeded by complying with
all the technicalities of the law, it is
known that the American Trans-At-
lantic company was closely watched.
At the time the ships Of the company
were Communicated by the Shipping
board as were other ships flying the
American flag, the Navy Department,
II is known, refused to deliver to the
commanders Of the ships confidential
instructions and other naval secrets
because they were not American cit
liens.
The American Trans Atlantic COM
pany declined to remove the comman-
ders and the Navy Department, it is
said, was obliged to place naval Of
ficer aboard each ship from whom tie
alien skipper received his sailing d.
rections.
Wagner's ships were reported at va
rious times to have been supplying
German raiders with provisions and
to have conveyed German gold from
the United States for use in South
America, but these charges Wagner
Indignantly denied, always protesting
his Americanism.
In citing these reports, Mr. Garvan
recalled that Wagner had published
half-page advertisement to anyone
who could produce evidence that his
ships had been supplying German
raiders, and at another time offered
$4,000 to anyone who could prove the
American Transatlantic company was
German owned
Three of Wagners ships were seized
by the British and one by the French
during 1915, and in the Prize Courts
testimony indicated German backing
for thine American Transatlantic
company was aired.
