THE PROBABLE EFFECT or
THE RUSSIAN SURRENDER

The little region called Ukranla
signed peace terms with Germany
last Saturday and then came an
nouncement that Russia had done
the same Monday. The Ukranian
peace OF course was OF no Import
ance. but the yielding OF Russia calls
for more serious consideration. As
a fighting force Russia has been OF
no advantage to the allies for sew
erai months. The main advantage OF
her surrender now Is that II gives
Germany a Chance to put his soldiers
on other lighting fronts and opens
way for Germany to get Russlas
wheat. II IL up tn the United States,
France and Great Britain to now
concentrate all their power to over
throw German sutocracy and put an
end to mllltarlsm. As said by Judge
Taft, we could get kind OF peace
now. but any peace that would leave
kalserlsm any ground to stand on
would be only a truce and give Ger
many time t. rehabllliate and come
again.

PREP EPAREDNESS IS
 F|RESTONE: MOTTO

To boost the War Savings Stamps. 5000 school children recently paraded the streets of Canton, Ohio. The con- mittee in charge, appreciating the lift which could be given the governments thrift scheme through the moving pie ture, telephone the morning of the parade to a moving picture news week. ly in Cleveland, suggesting the possi- bility of taking film of the paraee
 The director found no way, even the automobile, to get his camera man to Canton in time for the parade. Then he thought of the film work of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company at Akron, Ohio, midway between the two cities, and telephoned the tire company to see if it could help him out.
 You bet was the terse reply, and in ten minutes the company's film di- rector and a camera man were on the way to Canton. The story was cov- cred" the Firestone expert arranging many incidents to help carry over the message of Save for the Sammies"
 One feature which proved especially striking resHted from the woe begone expression of some little cripples and some tots who couldn't parade Im- mediately, a truck was furnished by the local Firestone tire agents, deco rated with flags and bunting, and the kiddies led the parade, happy athav- ing a. chance to help win the war

100000 MOTOR
 TRUCKS DOING
 SERVICE IN ]. 5.

That the extensive use of the high ways of the country is to be the great est factor in affording relief from the stagnation of industry caused by the tremendous burdens our already over loaded railroads must bear, is becom- ing more and more evident. The in- adequacy of our present railroad equip ment to cover the transportation. needs of the country. is everywhere admitted, even by the railroads themselves.
 But fortunately for us, in these days when freight must be moved regard less of conditions, there is practical relief available in the use of motor ducks. At present upwards of 100000 motor trucks are in actual service in the United States, and an ever increas- ing proportion of these is now in use in inter- city hauling. in which field motor trucks are destined to play wonderful part.
 Originally designed as a means Of obtaining deliveries of goods on freight delivery basis, thousands of trucks are now operating on a sched- ule showing quicker deliveries than could be obtained by eXpress-even for long distances.
 A conspicuous example of the im- portance of motor truck transporta- ton as a means of keeping up quick deliveries where speedy railroad trans portation proved impossible, is the latest accomplishment of one of the big Packard trucks of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company's Akron Boston line in delivering to a large shoe manufacturing company at Bos- ton a shipment of four tons of Neolin soles, in 62 hours, setting up a new motor truck record between these two cities, which are more than 1500 miles apart
 The truck delivered it's load at Bos- ton, picked up a load of cotton fabric at the company's mill in Connecticut, and finished the round trip to Akron in six days and two hours. The jour ney would have been accomplished in six days flat, but for delay of two hours on the return trip, waiting for train of 160 army trucks to cross the Delaware river bridge at Trenton, a few trucks at a time.
 Several tests made recently by rail road express, between these two points, proved that express shipments were requiring six days in transit. So that the Goodyear trucks are making the round trip in the same time that the l express companies consume in deliver ing a shipment one way. i This, however is but one example i of the usefulness of this service, for many eastern firms have secured quick delivery of badly needed pro- | ducts, and many tire dealers have se- cured shipments of badly needed tires.

BUY REPUBLIC TRUCKS. NOWi PRICES ID CO UP.

Owing to a shortage in material and an increase in the price of labor all Republic trucks, except the five-ton will be advanced in price May 15. ac- cordiEg to Manager C. E. Stromberg of the Southern Motor company, that has the agency for this territory.
 All persons" said Mir Stromberg yesterday, who contemplate the pur- chase of motor trucks should do so at once. l earnestly advise them to do so. I will be able to fill all orders at the present price if received before May l.
 More trucks should be used than are being used, especially by the ranchers. These are days when econ omy should be practiced. The rancher cannot do this very well while using horses. Ranchers are paying a pre- mium on hauling by not using trucks. Edison says a horse, figured in actual thermal units, costs more in his life time than he is worth in working en- ergy produced. Edison shows where the horse in efficiency is hopelessly lacking in the face of the modern mo- tor truck with it's high efficiency.
