Auto Train.
An auto train, consisting of six 10
ton auto trucks carrying on them,
fully assembled, six 5-ton trucks,
passed through here today. The autos
each had a sign on them showing
their destination. They were heavy
trucks Of the Garfield type and had
been making the trip from Lima, Ohio,
to Boston, Mass, by this means of
transportation. The trip thus far had
been successful and none Of the We
hiclos had suffered any collisions. The
Garfield company has evidently solved
the problem now faced by many Of
the automobile factories of the West
of getting their product to the East
ern market The trucks were fully
equipped with lights and all access
series, and all that will have to be
done in Boston is TO back them out
and turn the engine over and the
truck is ready for use,

The Great Illusion About Germany.
IF. v. Keys, in The North Ameri-
can Review.")

! (F. " Keys, in 1.-THE North Ameri-
can Review.")
No one who has been intimately
familiar with the inside Of German in
stitutions, with the ways of thinking
in typical German circles, whether
liberal or conservative so-called, with
the whole political atmosphere
breathed by radical or reactionary
within the borders of the German
Empire, can hesitate to say that there
never has been in Germany any such
thing as public opinion.
In Germany, there were always just
two bodies of opinion on any and
every matter: there was the govern
ment, and here was the opposition
No one really got outside Of these two
categories.
The truth of this presentation of
the case, on the German side, the
events of the war have proved almost
past belief. We have seen that the
group of men which in every country
is assumed to be vowed to a strict
observance of aScertained fact, the
scientists, i'll Germany distinguished
themselves by issuing to the world a
document denying nagrant facts on
that the famous Els LIST NIGHT Wahr
throws into the shade all the preroga-
tives claimed by the bulls issued over
the signature of papal infallibility.
Mean while, the intellectual leaders OF
all schools, not excluding those thai
had coouetted with the political
left and had sedu1ously followed the
lead of sesthe etc and literary innova,-
tors in Paris and London, closed UP
their ranks with the government, and
left nothing unsaid that would fan the
belief of the masses that this was e
holy war in defense of German Gull
.ture itself. And the opposition? 1t
did precisely the same. !
Why is it so impossible for the
German mind to apprehend and IN
derstand that which we mean by
public opinion ~ For the reason that
the German nation has always been,
psych gically, on a war footing.
Her mentality has been, in a quite
literal sense, the mentality Of an army.
And an army is the one place where
there can be no public opinion.

OVER THERE.
How the american Army's Advance
Guard, the Engineers. Get
Things Going.

Dieter Of Capt James Brea kley Of
Ann Arbor in Detroit Free Press)
I'VE are learning much on pre-
paredness. While the United States
might have sent 100000 or 1000, 900
fighting men as rapidly as possible
into the firing lines, the probabilities
are that they would have been. ex-
terminated about as fast as they came.
There is apparent a very sensible
plan and order Practically the first
men over here we're engineers, and
there was an immense amount of work
for them to do. French railroads,
telephone and telegraph lines were
overcrowded.
One of the American generals in
the line of communication at a French
post desired to talk by telephone to
l1ea dquarters at Paris.
Lines busy; try tomorrow" he
was told and replied: Every we'll:
I'll have a line of my own day after
tom orrow," and he did.
That is just a little Of the way
they are doing things over here.
Railroads have to be built and
equipped and the ties and spikes the
rails. the cars and locomotives with
them have to be brought from home
Sufficient engineers for such work
make an army in itself
"Hospita1 men are needed for them
and for the hospital men there are
needed buildings and equipment, and
they take time and preparation. And
so we cooperate With the engineers
in particular and when the engineers
and the hospitals are ready the in
fantry and artillery should be about
ready, too. and with the help Of our
aviators we will be prepared It is
like training a football team or a
doctor, or a lawyer. or soprano. or
anything else that is worth while. 7
am sure that the end is going to JUS
ttfy the time expended.

Dear Friend:
II thought I would write few
lines and let you know that all the
Planville boys are in good health and
hoping you are the same. We ar
rived safely in Franco and were not
disturbed by any Of the Kaiser's u
boats on our voyage.
'"The weather over here is very
changeablc because when it is not
showing it is raining. We have not
seen any of the good American days
like we had at homo here yet The
snow storms are very severe. During
the last snow storm there was about
two feet of snow. I don't know how
long we VIII be stationed here but I
hope we will soon be fighting. The
railroads over here are much different
than those over home. The people
are lucky if they set train twice a
day. The coaches arc very small and
rock quite n little. The engines are
little and if the French people ever
saw our large engines they would be
surprised. We have not got much
heat in our barracks because the
stoves are so small and the barracks
so big.
81 thank the Plainvflle people for
the smokes which were sent over
because the tobacco over here is SO
strong that we can't use it,

that he had not been returned win

In conversation with Mr. Light the
Banner reporter received the infor-
nation that absolutely no can
vas was made and only one
speech was delivered He
says that il is not a case OF sour
grapes with him for he really did not
desire to go to the Legislature this
year, but his friends insisted Oh him
making the race.
His farming interests are taking all
his time and he is more than making
good round sum of tomatoes and
other crops during the past few days,
and has not touched his staple crops.
He has more than one hundred and
fifty acres in corn Oh his own land
he has fair sized herd of cattle
and hogs, five new colts are on his
ranges and he says that he would not
sell either of them for the price OF an
ordinary good horse, for they are
blooded stock and will be worth more
than their keep by great many dol
lars; he owns and has under cultiva-
ton one of the largest individually
owned farms in the county, owes not
dollar-started out without owing
a dollar He is one of the men who
has made the land pay for itself in
a few years, and he is willing to re
main on the farm TO his last day.

a result of one battle. Their chief
purpose looking to the ultimate de-
cisive object of the whole campaign
was of another kind But after the
first couple of days of a success,
which must have been beyond their
expectations, they may well have
hoped and they must still hope, to
come near enough to the capital to
bring Paris under the fire Of their
heavy guns As they have not sue
ceeded in this they are likely to turn
their attention elsewhere without by
any means giving up the thought OF
renewing the threat to Paris at a
later phase of those alternating move
ments
We must not think too exclusively
Of Paris or OF Amiens or OF the chan
mel ports any more than OF Rheims
of Verdun Attenuation operations
on any of these sectors may be equal
ly serviceable TO the Anal purpose OF
the German plan. Chess has ofte$
been compared with war, but il never
offered q more exact and vital anal
0gy than now. The campaign is the
supreme play of all the German for
