The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-03-26

The first warm days brought a
horde of dealers clamoring for cars
to the factory of the Haynes Auto
mobile Co., Komomo. Ind. Transpor-
tation conditions have been such all
winter that only limited shipments
could be made. Hence the advance
of the dealers when roads became
pasSable.
Snow still covered the highways
when the vanguard appeared. The
first traps were hazardous in many
cases, for the roads were slippery and
in some instances formidably deep
mud was encountered.
Among the first to undertake the
overland deliveries were H. E. Throne
Haynes distributor at Toledo, O., and
D. L. Watson, manager of the De-
troit Haynes Automobile Co. They
were followed in quick succession by
representatives of the Midwest
Haynes Automobile Co., Kansas City,
Mo-; Model Auto Co., Clinton, Ia;
phia; Haynes Motor Car Co., Chicago;
Cleveland Motor Car Sales Co., Cleve-
land, O., and many others.
One distributor wired Haynes the
day after he reached his city with a
big consignment, saying he was out Of
cars again ia beseeching a freight
shipment.
The demand for cars this spring is
exceeding even the expectations of the
manufacturers. The inevitable short
age is at hand. Practically every fac
tory has been forced to curtail pro-
duction to a marked degree in favor
of war work.

FOSS COMPLAINS
OF TREATMENT

London, March 25-At a meeting
or the Association of Danish manu-
facturers, says a dispatch from Co.
penhagen, Sir Alexander Foss review
ed Danish commercial relations and
complained of the treatment of neu-
trails by belligerents.
Great Britain and the United States
have made a commercial agreement in
order to defend the rights of small
neutral states" said he, but up until
now the effort makes the condition of
European neutrals worse. The de-
termination is that the neutraIs. and
especially the Scandinuavians, shall
be kept out of the war, but if we are
successful the result will not be due

To possess a Haynes Sedan is to
enjoy riding in luxury without ex-
travagance.
More than this smart, new enclosed
coach offers, we deem inappropriate
for these days when peace-time frills
and fancies should be conspicuously
absent Yet to wish greater riding
comfort, or more stately beauty in a
motor car, is futile.
The Haynes aIl-season Sedan in
corporates essential luxury and COM
manding appearance - without ex-
travagance.
Ultra-fashionable French pleated

flexible improced springs insure the
utmost in riding ease.

MAXWELL'S NEW RECORD

Finishing its ocean-to-Ocean
haul of 3,41S.9 miles from San
Francisco in seventeen and one
half days elapsed time, the Max
well Military Express reached
New York City at Hoo O'Clock
Saturday morning, August Sd.
It's arrival in Manhattan COM
pleted the first transcontinental
freight run ever undertaken by
a Detroit-made motor truck from
a Pacific to an Atlantic port.
Carrying a ton of military sup
plies from Australia to the war
front in France, via the Lincoln
Highway, the Maxwell left the
Golden Gate, July 17th, and cut
it's set schedule of 81 days for
the entire trip practically in half.
1t also beat fast freight train
time for the same distance by
two and one-half days.
No less than ten daily runs of
more than 200 miles were made
by Ray Mcnamara, Detroit pilot,
who drove the entire trip with
out relief. The biggest days
run was from San Francisco to
Reno, New, 275 miles, the first
day out.
Average speed of 200 miles
daily was maintained with fuel
consumption averaging IL miles
to the gallon. Mcnamara drove
over the Sierras, the Rocky
mountains, the Great Salt Lake
desert and the Alleghanies with
out mishap and only one tire
puncture on the way.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan begins September
18th and closes OctobeE 10Th.
While the amount has not yet
been announced, it is generally
conceded it will be for a larger
amount than any of the preced-
ing loans. The American peo-
pie, therefore, are called upon to
raise a larger sum of money in a
shorter length of time than ever
before. There is need, there
fore, for prompt action-prompt
and efficient work and prompt
and liberal subscriptions.
We have a great inspiration
for a great effort. The news
from the battle front inspires
every American heart, not only
with pride and patriotism, but
with a great incentive to do his
or her part. There is no shlrk-
ing, no shifting of the individual
burden, no selfishness by Ameri-
can soldiers in France; there
should be none here. We are
both supporting the same coun-
try and the same cause our
Army in one way, ourselves in
another. Theirs is the harder
part, but at least we can do our
part as promptly and Loyalty and
efficiently as they do theirs.

believe in the United States

derived from the consent of the
governed; a democracy in a re-

Union, one and inseparable, es-
tablished upon those principles
of freedom, equality, justice and
humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives and
fortunes.
|, therefore, believe it is my
duty to my country to love it; to
support its Constitution; to obey
it's laws; to respect its flag, and
10 defend it against all enemies.

RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION

Director General McAdoO has
issued a circular to all employees
of the railway lines operated by
the government in which he en-
joins Upon them in emphatic
terms the policy of courtesy and
efficiency. He announces that
the policy of the Railroad Ad-
ministration is exactly the re-
verse of the policy known as
''the public be damned policy.
He states that the fact that
the United States is running the
railroads, is not an excuse or
justification for the shortcoming
of either the employees or the
Railroad Administration. The
people have accepted cheerfully
and patriotically the burden of
increased railroad fares that war
conditions have imposed upon
them, part of which is due to the
increased expenditures caused by
the raise in the wages of the
railroad employees" says the
Director General, land the least
that the railroad employees can
do in return, is to serve the pub
lie faithfully, courteously and
efficiently"
Railroads are just as much
public servants under the gov
ernment administration as under
private control. The change of
management was made for the
purpose of making the railroads
more efficient servants of the
people, more especially in the
great work of winning the war.
The relation of the railroads and
the railroad employees to the
public, therefore, is unchanged
except that patriotism to their
country, as well as loyalty to
their employer, should actuate
the railroad employee.
