Foresees Fewer Cars
and HIGHER Prices

Despite coal shortage, war and other
depressing influences, George II. Stove,
president of the Mitchell Motor Car
Company OF New York, sees better
times coming in the local automobile
trade. lie says: There is no question
IN my mind that there is not only 60
ing to be shortage of good autonlo
b'les by spring. but very material
advance in the price of motor cars.
Most motor car manufacturers have
agreed to arrange their passenger car
production .chedulc so as not to hin
der government work. This fact, taken
INTO consideration with the shortage OF
help, which becomes more acute as time
goes on. indicates that passenger car
production must and viii be curtalleo'
For any one who does not believe 10
the law OF supply and demand. this VIII
be a most concrete example of Us
truth.
although it is true that prices have
advanced during the last year. it IS
very evident they will go higher in the
next six months. Any one who is con.
templating the purchase Of motor CT
should buy now. while the present COM
paratlvely low prices prevail"

oss-Hudson Bridqe
Would Solve Coal
Shortage
By c. II. Larson

The continued acuteness of the local
fuel situation establishes the absolute
necessity for n great traffic bridge
across the Hudson, in the Dyckman
Street district to link New York and
New Jersey | have advocated the
building of such structure for years,
because the ferry system is not ade-
quate for automobiles.
If VIC had the bridge a fleet Of thou
sands Of five and eight ton trucks could
run direct to consumer or to the biz
coal dealers. or course, this pro-
cedure would increase the ton cost BY
several dollars, but in the present
emergency coal is more valuable than
money. 1t has been computed that the
wages and the value Of product lost
through the recent c-day industrial
shutdown would make the coal ordi-
narly consumed in that period worth
$3.50 u ton.
The few additional dollars for motor
truck transportation expense, therefore,
would be relatively unmportant. The
term a. o. b. tidcwater" could be usee.
in precisely the same way that We now
speak of a. o. b. Detroit"
Every day we read of $4,000 to 10000
tons of coal being held up at tidewater
awaiting shipment. while New York is
getting only 10000 or $4,000 tons. If
We At"u - NAiuSc o'tt tlc IluUaOu SUM
lar TO the ones across the East Rive
we could load the trucks and avoid all
the delay and lost motion in filling
barges, which have to battle with the
ice, then be unloaded, only to have the
coal thrown into trucks in the end,
anyway.
The distressing developments in the
fuel famine serve to point out what p
wonderful boon Hudson River bridge
would be-not only in the light of con-
ditions now, but of conditions TO come.
Who can say. what further purposes
the structure might answer?
Automobile traffic is growing heavier
in amazing proportions each year, and
ferries, little able as they are now to
meet the situation to the automobile
lists satisfaction, will be wholly with
out facilities to cope with the problem
within few wears

This combination of measuring in

OF HIGHWAY WORK
 IS FAVORED

President Wilson favors the earliest possible resumption and extension of highway construction under the Fed ] eral Aid Road Act and has written Secretary of Agriculture Houston to that effect. The Secretary of War also has written the Secretary of Agricul- ture in favor of highway work. The Presidents letter follows:
 q heartily agree with you that it would be in the public interest to re- sume in full measure the highway construction operations under the Fed eral Road Act, and to do so as speed fly as possible. I understand the ne cessity which existed for their con- traction during the stress through which we have been passing, but that obstacle is now removed. I believe that it would be highly desirable to have an additional appropriation made available to the Department of AgTi- culture, to be used in conjunction, if possible, with any surplus State and community funds, in order that these operations may be extended. It is important not only to develop good highways throughout the country as quickly as possible, but it is also at this time especially advisable to re- sume and extend all such essential public works, with a, view to furnish ing employment for 1aborers who may
 be seeking new tasks during the pe- irod of readjustment. Knowing, that the Department of Agriculture and l the State highway authorities in each State have been carefully working out road systems and developing plans 1 and specifications, I have no doubt that Hll activities in this field can be
 vigC "5usly conducted through these i two sets of existing agencies, acting in full accord"
 i The following letter has been re- cetved from Secretary of War Baker:
 T am in full agreement with your
 view that there should not only be a prompt resumption of road construc-
 tton under the Federal Aid Road Act. and under such further authority as
 may exist for separate State action.
 but also that additional funds should
 be made available to your department
 for the extension of such work. The War Department, as you know, de- 1 tailed one of it's officers to serve with
 your Bureau of Public Roads in its | consideration of highways which might have a value for military pur- i poses, and shall be glad to have the 4 closest possible cooperation continue as the work enlarges.

LEAGUE ! OF
 NATIONS WILL.
 NOT STOP WAR

Cambridge, Eng, Monday, Dec. g. The establishment of league of na- tions will not result in the develop ment of a world in which no wars will occur, armaments will be un- necessary and reason supplant vio- lence, in the opinion of Sir Eric Ged- des, First Lord of the Admiralty, ex- pressed in an address here tonight Under the most favorable conditions, he declared. it was to be expected that a police force would be requir- ed. On the sea, he added, the Brit ish navy had performed that func- ton faithfully and impartially, pre- venting the free nations from being crushed by Germany, He regarded it as inconceivable that the supremacy of the British navy would ever be surrendered.
 The First Lord expressed the be- lief that Germany should be made to refund the full cost of the war and pay for all the damage she had done by sea and land, to the uttermost forthing.

DELEGATIONS TO CONFERENCE
 REACH PARIS
Number of Officials of All Nationalities Will Be
 Nearly 5000.

Paris, Sunday, Dec. S-Every train arriving at Paris these days brings in large numbers of officials attached to the various delegations to the peace conference. All the larger allied na- tions are continuously sending parts of their working personnel and by the time the delegates gather the number of officials of all nationalities will number between 5000 and 5000. Beach one will have some special work to do. Many of them already are busy.
 The French delegates will have all their assistants near at hand, for the large staffs of the admiralty and for eign ministers will be constantly avail able. The United States office force a large number of experts and assis- tants in Paris and, in addition, staffs in the London governmental offices will be available for work which is not particularly urgent. Moreover, there undoubtedly will be in Paris re- presentatives of Great Britain's do- mirions and colonies, with their re- spective staffs.- Great Britain also will have in Paris experts of various sorts including men who have made a life study of such subjects as the navy, colonies the Far East and the Near East.
 The United States, because of it's re- moteness will be obliged to have prob ably the largest and most complete staff, and for this reason the Ameri- can authorities have been compelled to take over larger accommodations thar any other delegation. Italy also will have a considerable working force
 here, but the delegates, as in the case of Great Britain, will be able to de- pend on much of their work being done in their own country.
