EFFECT OF BREAK
Austria's Fall Means Much to Allies,
Says LonSon News.


Says Lon5on News.
London, Nov. 1 CBy British Admir-
atty Wireless 1.-The effect Of the Aus
TRAN break up on the war will be i'm
mense, said the London Daily News
today. 1t is obvious that the allies
would consent to no armistice which
did not provide, as in the case OF Bull
garia, for unhindered passage OF their
troops and the prosecution on Austrian
soil of war against Germany.
Even if Austria were disposed to re-
fuse that demand. she would be pow
erless to resist it. Her constituent
peoples are in revolt against her and
the Czecho-Slovaks and the Jugo-
Slavs have been recognized by the en-
tente as allied belligerents.
That is enough in itself to secure
to the allies an entrance to and pass
age thru what has hitherto been en-
! envy territory. The Importance of that
is not it's effect upon Austria, but its
effect on Germany.
1t means that her back door is
! forced Bohemia. now passing rapid
| Iy into the hands of the Czecho-Slo-
walks, adjoins Prussia, Saxony and Ba-
v.ria and the eastern frontiers of none
of these states is organized for defense
Without moving a man from the
west the allies could draw upon their
southern and eastern fronts a force
more than sufficient to drive away
! into Saxony or Bavaria-and that
| without taking into account the sup
/ port the new independent Slav races
might render.
Against that fatal enlightenment Ger
many Cannot struggle.

SWISS REDUCE TROOPS
Cut Number Down to Those Necef
sary Mt the Borders.

Berne, Nov. lit IS officially an
nounced by the Swiss government that
the number of troops with the colors
is being reduced to a strict minimum.
The majority of those retained, about
eight battalions. are posted along the
frontiers to prevent smuggling and es-
pionage, in conformity with economic
agreements binding Switzerland not to
export raw materials which have been
imported into this country.
This Gordon of troops must be main
tanned even in the event of an armi-
stice and perhaps for some time after
the conclusion of peace to prevent
Swiss stocks of foodstuffs from being
sent abroad.

FORD IS HEARD
Defends Alien Draughtsman in
His Plant.
Man Was Commented On in
Aircraft Report.

Detroit. Mich, Nov. Henry Ford
TO-DAY issued a statement defending
Carl Embie, head of the draughting
department in the Ford Motor COM
pany plant who was the subject of
comment in the aircraft investigation
report made by Charles Evans
hughes.
Mr.. Ford said:
THE Ford Motor company has
.anufactured 1.242, liberty motors
ring the past month. That was
bout 800 more than were manufac-
ured by the next highest factory.
o not know what better answer could
re made to all the criticisms. we
.arted later than others and nave
assed all, the productions standing
to the most rigid inspection in ev-
ry particular.
To Make Men.
"Our policy is to make men. not to
ireak them. In times of panic great
njury and injustice are often done to
innocent persons and we try to keep
our heads.
I'VE wouldn't allow injustice to be
lone to an old, trusted and valued
cmploye, even tho he was born in Ger
many. The results speak for them
selves. Mr.. Embie, referred to as the
special example in the Hughes report
has been with us a little over twelve
years and he is a most able and ex-
perfect satisfaction. Not one word OF
fault could be found by Mr.. Hughes
or anyone else with regard to Mr.. En-
bie's actual work. We in the plant
know that he gave valuable assistance
and many suggestions with regard to
the developments of the Liberty mo-
tor cylinder. which are being furnished
to all of the manufacturers, with a
saving of s345,000 a month to the
government over former prices.
"Fsrom the very beginning of the
war we have taken the greatest pre-
caution against sabotage or other
hostile work of aliens and at the same
time have endeavored to follow the
instructions of the United States gov
eminent as stated to US by the United
States marshal.sWe have had no inter
ference with our work that could ir
any way be traced to enemy aliens
We organized an investigating depart
ment with the utmost care to examine
into the record of every alien enemy
and his work, and we have been com
mended most highly by government
officials for that work. The United
States marshal can speak for himself
as to our organization and work witt
regard to that"

Americans Ask Why.

Naturally. Americans will ask why
the British government selected. in
preference to the trained men aVailab BILE,
for the place left vacant by the retire
ment of Sir Cecil Spring Rice jurist
who had no diplomatic experience. They
are rightly curious, and with knowl-
edge of ali the facts they Will be still
more inclined to wonder. For the truth
is that Earl Reading is being sent to
this country with great reluctance, in
view of the vitally important work he
has been doing at home. The one con-
sideration that inpeIs his associates to
spare him at this moment is their feel
ing that, important though his work
may be in England. there isaa task of
far greater proportions, fraught with
innumerahie delicate consequences, in
Washington. 1t will be Earl Read
ing's mission to tie closer the bonds
which have been knit between the
United States and the British demoe-
racy. and he has been chosen for the
mission because. after canvassing the
field Lloyd George and the other Brit
ish leaders could not find another man
SO well fitted for the peculiar nature Of
the task.
That in itself is indication of the i'm
portance the British ministry attaches

come. but suddenly this hope appears to

to the extent that motor cycle police
men keep tab on speeding AUTOMOBILE
lists. Like boulevard cops" they lie in

to the chauffeur who is not recognized
by them as a regular Army courier.
The regulations in the cities where
the Americans are billeted are strict
and the speed there is controlled.
There has been considerable complaint
of reckless driving on the roads. The
limit Of thirty-hve miles an hour is
considered high enough for all practi-
cal purposes.
