WAR USES GAIN
GREATPOPULAR|TY
FOR MOTOR TRUCK

Few appreciate the results which
will accrue to the motor truck in
dustry from the driving of thousands
upon thousands Of trucks through
the country during the days OF
freight congestion. The demonstra-
tions thus made OF the reliability OF
the trucks and of their usefulness in
all weather. will have an effect upon
the public mind which no amount of
advertising and OF publicity could
have given. William Fulton Mel
huish. president of the Fulton Motor
Truck Company, OF Farmingdale,
Long Island, feels that the truck
business is going to be the gamer
through the exigencies OF the times
which have compelled the delivery Of
army trucks to the seaboard in ever
increasing numbers, and which have
compelled manufacturers and deal
ers to take delivery by road, instead
OF freight. to same time. Mr.. Mel
huish looks upon the effects OF the
movement for delivery to all sections
by road as the most important de-
velopment OF the times, and feels
that. as the result, the truck business
viii make enormous strides in the
business world.
Many Things In Favor.
There are many things which are
today favoring the truck business

ing demonstrated as they would
never have been demonstrated had
not conditions forced these long trips

ail-around reliability OF trucks for
business, and a new era Is opening
before US. The trucks travelling
through the country are going to
show the futility of much OF the
present road building methods, and
this will bring about Government
building OF roads to stand the strain
OF heavy truck work. That will in
augurate systems OF highways and
bring about general truck delivery
after the war has closed as q means
to economy. The long road trips OF
the trucks will develop any little
faults. which will be remedIed, and
As q result we shall come out of the
present times OF stress with perfect !
machines.
Changes In Manufacture.
Truck manufacturing methods will !
undergo many changes for urgent |
needs OF the times and the demand |
for motor trucks will bring about /
methods OF manufacturing on a large |
scale. Demands will enlarge the |
truck plants. for the war must be
served and after the war is over the I
makers will be able to supply the /
demand that is certain. The war will /
bring about a shortage OF horses, and I

AMERICAN SHIPS
ARE IMPERILLED
BYAL|EN CREWS

Testimony given by Rear Admiral
Leigh Palmer, chief OF navigation, in
executive session before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs, was
made public in connection with a
speech which Congressman Fred c.
Hicks delivered in the House. The
statements OF Admiral Palmer were
printed in the Congressional Record
under leave to print"
Mr.. Hicks said he had received the
permission OF Secretary Daniels to use
the testimony. which shows that mer-
chantmen are badly manned with sail
ors who cannot understand the Eng
lish language, and by men who refuse
to take orders while the vessels are
going through the war zone. This
lack OF discipline places such ships
in greater danger from submarine at
tacks.
The Washington times., 1918-02-09
Quotes Statement.

In ths course OF his speech, lIr
Hicks, who Is fighting to give the
navy control OF the manning Of all
ships, quoted a statement made by
Andrew Furuseth, president of the
International Ssamen's Union of
America. The latter said!
According to a census which we
have taken, there are about 5000 Ger
mans sailing under the American flag
in different capacities. IL may be said
that they arc among the highest skill
cd men, whether they sail In the fore
castle or in the galley. OF these men,
about 3,T21 are in the organizations
of seamen."
Commenting upon this statement,
Mr.. Hicks said:
Every officer and every member Of
a crew navigating a ship in the war
zone under the American flag should
be an American citizen, and all OF
them should wear the uniform rf his

The hen with an ample, pi!able alb

that her faculty governing fecundity

THE lack of such anatomical struc-

won't lay more than a few eggs a

Proper food and care are Of course
essential But food and care without
the congenital egg-laying propensity

are the first consideration,
Some chickens that are poor egg
producers are, however, excellent meat
birds. They should be developed for
that purpose.
This is conveyed to the wise pon'-
tryman by the size and structure OF the
pelvic bones=-small, straight ones be-

the meat type.

POULTRY RAISING
MUST Be PUSHED
Chance for Community Work
in Getting Surplus to
Backyard Pens.

Poultry production must be pushed
vigorously. "One hundred hens on ev-
cry farm" is the popular ana timely
slogan and fits III aptiy with the re-
strictions Of the food administration
on the marketing of hens. This regu
lation caught some poultry raisers with
a surplus of breeding hens, although
there is no surplus in the country at
large, for the shortage Of feeds and
the high price of poultry has tempted
breeders and the owners of small fiocks
to sell their hens.
Even those inconvenienced by the
restriction on the sale of hens can
easily see the point of the regulation.
II the hens are Killed off the 100 hen
movement has little chance, nor will
there be hens enough to supply the
backyard flock for the man with his
bit of land who is trying to make his
| own stronghold hunger proof. The
| present situation offers an opportunity
! to live wire poultrymen to start piece
of community work that win connect
the surplus of breeding hens to the
l00-hen movement and the backyard
flock. Community organization and
the gospel of feed yourself" will dis
pose of surplus hens and convert pos
sible roasters into food producers for
the winter CT l918-19.
Agents OF the United States depart
ment of agriculture report that between
January J.. 1918, and February II, 40
carloads each Of about 1900 hens and
pullets, were shipped from the state
Of Texas alone.
This means that 100000 birds that
were laying or about ready to lay were
prevented from turning into eggs the
food they had consumed without return
during the winter. Had these birds
been kept until April 80, as urged by
, the department of agriculture and as
required by the food administration
for those remaining on the farms on
February II, it would have meant at

The statement, which is the first

Americans Fight
Huns With Knives
Raid Foe Silently, Killing Two
and Capturing Four of
Enemy.

With the American Forces on
French Front, May 9.-The official
French report of the patrol action in
which American troops in the Lor-
raine sector of the battle front car
ried out brilliant little operation on
May 5, in the vicinity Of the hamlet Of
Anservillers, shows the wonderfully
enterprising spirit Of the American
troops.
!. This report says. the Americans,
whose activity never relaxes, and
whose audacity is remarkable, wanted
to see what the Germans opposite
them were doing. At 3 o'clock in the
morning of May 5, without artillery
preparation, three American patrols
left the village of Anservillers, which
is in the entente allied lines.
Two of the patrols took a position
on the right and left flank, while the
third, composed Of eight men under
command Of Lieut., Cassidy, executed
clever turning movement and enter
ed Anservillers hamlet from the rear
and fell upon the German advanced
post.
The patrol fired only one shot, and
then attacked the Germans with
trench knives. A fierce battle en-
sued, the Germans using the butts of
their rifles against the American
knives. The fight ended with the
death Of two Germans and the wound
ing of their corporal who, with three
other men, were brought back to the
American lines. There were no cas-
ualties among the Americans.
