MILITARY AIDED
BY AUTOMOBILES
Real Significance of Motorcar in
Transportation Problems
of Present Day.
SOLDIERS MUST Be CARRIED
Food and Other Necessities Must Be
Transported to Them Without De-
REPRESENTATION Of Gasoline
Is Important.

FL. 81. Franklin. president of large
automobile concern, in recent adj
dress before a large number of auto
mobile dealers and owners, pointed out
the real significance of the motor car
in the transportation problems Of to-
day.
america is at war now In the full
est sense" stated Mr.. Franklin, "and
under such conditions come natural
transportation difficulties incident to
efficient military operations. Not only
must millions Of troops be transported
from place to place, but food and other
necessities must also be carried to
them without delay.
War Needs Are Primary.
military needs, absolutely and prop
erly, must have preference, and with
the railroads taxed to their limits man.
ufacturers must find some other means
of forming a regular and satisfactory
contact between themselves and their
public.
"This problem is already finding an
swer in the use of automobiles and
motor trucks. Not only are regularly
scheduled automobile express lines be-
ing opened up between different cities
throughout the East, but manufacture
ers are finding 1t advisable to furnish
their statesmen with automobiles in or
der that they may not be dependent
upon unsatisfactory train service.
"The results In all cases where motor
vehicles are being tried seem highly
satisfactory, and 1t is quite likely that
even after the war Is over and condi-
lions have again become normal, that
greater appreciation will be had Of the
desirability of automobile transporta-
ton.
Driveway Satisfactory.
"For example, the war has brought
about with our firm the necessity for
insisting that dealers in adjacent ter
ritory, or even territory within several
hundred miles, come to the factory and
drive what cars they order home them
selves instead of having them shipped.
This has proved very satisfactory, and,
as even under normal conditions, sew
eral days could be saved, it is quite
likely to be continued right along.
"Another important outcome of the
war is the greater consideration auto
mobile owners are giving to the gaso-
line their cars consume for each mile
they are run. In the past little thought
has been given to this question, but
now, with our double need for gaso-
lise, the issue must be faced.
i'War requirements alone are over
100000 gallons Of gasoline per day,
ana, as the total daily production in
the United States is but 6,849,000 gal
Ions, the greatest conservation is neces-
sary in order that shortage may not
Occur"

To prevent children from playing

Text of Address.


The text of the presidents speech
follows:
Gentlemen of the Diplomatic Corps
and My Fellow Citizens: / am happy
to draw apart with you to this quiet
place Of old counsel in order 10 speak
little Of the meaning of this day of
our nations independence. The place
seems very still and remote. II Is as
serene and untouched by the hurry OF
the world as it was in those great days
long ago when General Washington
was here and held leisurely conference
with the men who were to be assocl-
ated with him In the creation of n ma
ton. From the gentle slopes they
looked out upon the world and saw It
whole, saw ii with the light of the fu.
ture upon it. saw II with modern eyes
that turned away from past which
men of liberated spirits could no longer
endure, it is for that reason that we
cannot feel, even here In the immedl-
ate presence OF this sacred tomb. that
this Is place of death. II was n
place of achievement. A great promise
that was meant for all mankind was
here given plan and reality. The as
sociations by which we are here sur
rounded are the inspiring associations
of that noble death which is only a
glorious consummation. From this
green hillside we also ought to be able
to see with comprehending eyes the
world that lies about us and should
conceive anew the purposes that must
set men free.

U. S. Can Never Sc Crushed.

"These great objects can be put i!uo
n single sentence. What we seek Is
the reign Of law, based upon the GO l.
sent of the governed and sustained tv
the organized opinion of mankind.
These great ends cannot Ia
achieved by debating and seeking 10
reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their prof
ects for balances OF power and Of ma
uonal opportunity. They can be
reached only by the determination of
what the thinking people OF the world
desire with their longing hope for
Justice and for social freedom and OBJ
pOrtunity.
VI can fancy that the air Of this
place carries the accents OF such prin-
ciples with n prouder Kindness. Here
where started forces which the great
nation against which they were pri-
inarily directed at first regarded as n
revolt against its authority but which
has long since seen to have been n
step In the liberation of its own peo-
pie as well as of the people of the
United States-and | stand here now
to speak, speak proudly and with con-
fdent hope--of the spread Of this re-
volt this liberation to the great state
OF the world itself. The blinded rul-
ers of Prussia have aroused forces they
knew little of--forces which. once
aroused, can never be crushed to earth
again-for they have at their heart an
inspiration and a purpose which are
deathless and Of the very stun OF tri-
umph."
