MOTOR TRUCK IS
Big AID OF War.
Widest Possible Use for Trans
portation Is Urged by De-
tense Council.
RAILWAYS TAXED TO UTMOST
Substantial Highways Must Be Con-
structed Between Principal Manu-
featuring and Shipping Gen.
ters-Source Of Funds

Inrougn the highways transport
committee the council of national de-
Tense has approved 1.-THE widest posi-
Bile use Of the motortruck as trans
portation agency" and Furthermore
requests the state councils Of defense
and other state authorities to take all
necessary steps to facilitate such
means Of transportation, removing any
regulations that tend to restrict and
discourage such USE"
IF the war is to continue for any
length of time, motortruck transporta-
ton must be fargely@extended and In
creased, as 1t has been demonstrated
that In the matter of transportation
there are limitations beyond which the
railroads cannot co." comments DR.. 81.
M. Rowe. president of the American
Automobile association.
Must Have Substantial Highways.
This cannot avail unless there are
built between the principal manufac-
turing and shipping centers substan-
tial highways which permit the en-
ployment Of motortrucks. The time
in which this work ought to be done
Is right now. If the construction Is
not within the financial capacity Of
the states through which these high
ways pass, then it should be done by
national funds.
"In my opinion, the Chamberlain
Dent bill should be passed by con-
gress, as it would give needed author
ity and money to the secretary Of war,
who could then designate certain roads
to which federal attention could be
given.
State Should Furnish Funds.
''In some of the state legislatures
misdirected efforts are being made to
establish prohibitive taxes on trucks.
Whatever sums are sufficient to
strengthen our highways as to carry
ing the heaviest military loads safely
and without serious destruction to the
roads should be appropriated at once
out of state funds and federal cooper
alton sought of congress. 1t is just as
much, in my judgment, the business Of
the government to build good roads
as It is to build good muskets or good
cannon. or to furnish proper equip
ment to its army. OF course, federal
funds should be placed on roads of
national Importance, and highways
possessing special military value
come under this head at the present
time.
"This country can no more do with
out properly ana adequately built high
ways than it can do without properly
and adequately built tonnage for ocean
travel. The country should impress
upon congress the Importance of this
matter. Of course, the expenditure of
money on the highways would be for
the benefit of those who use motors.
That is right. because it is by the use
Of motors that we are going to be
able to transport thousands and thou
sands more of tons of commodities,
materials, and products of all kinds
that are absolutely necessary to main
tain this country at the point of high
est efficiency in its determination to
win victory and substantial democracy,
not only for its own people, but for all
the people of the earth"

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as il dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for IL lis pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and q few ounces will last the whole
family for months.

and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an

GERMAN PLANS IN THE EAST.

German plans in the east are rap
idly becoming clarified, and the Ger
man purpose is more evident at each
step.
The treaty with Rumania is about
ready for signature. It will satisfy
Germany's ally, Bulgaria, by return
ing to the Bulgars the province of
Dobrudja, taken from them by
Rumania in 1913. Rumania may be
permitted to take, in return, part or
all Of Bessarabia. This would bring
the boundaries Of Rumania virtually
to the great Russian seaport Of
Odessa With a government in
Rumania controlled from Berlin,
Germany would thus have access to
the greatest grain shipping port of
all Russia. The treaty specifically
provides for the passage Of German
troops through Rumanias so the
actual capture Of Odessa would be an
easy matter If 1t were necessary. This
one treaty would take care Of Bull
garia and give Germany all desired
trade facilities.
BY the treaty with Russia, Turkey
is thrown the sop Of the Caucasian
provinces. which might, in case of
necessity. be continued as relieving
Germany Of any duty in winning
back Palestine and Mssopotamia lost
to the British.
Then from the Black sea to the

and subject to Teutonic exploitation,
politically and economically.
Affairs are thus very comfortably
adjusted in the east. and Germany
can now well afford to make peace
on the present basis. She can AFFORD
to abandon her dream Of AHlahc
for the Middle European
empire. at least as far as the
Is an accomplished fact.
From now on. her aim doubtless
will be to detach from the Allied
cause the weaker countries in the
west and try to exhaust the stronger
nations until they consent to a peace
on the status quo basis.

trophies. and now turns to the west

succeed Senator Paul Husting says
that he stands for IAN immediate,
general and permanent peace"
Where have we heard that phrase
before?
All yes. A gentleman named Trot-
Eixy used that as his platform. He
got a sorry thing that might be call
ed a peace, but it wasn't immediate,
it isn't general, and we doubt very
much IL il will be permanent. He
got 1t in return for FIVE or six states
the size Of North Dakota, and few
other humtliating terms, all Of which
haven't been made public yet.
Probably Mr.. Berger could get an
immediate peace for America on
some such terms. only It wouldn't be
permanent. II the United States
would play the role Of Judas, per-
NIT Germany to retain Belgium, Al
SAGE, Italy, Siberia and Rumania and
perhaps pay some small indemnity Of
a few billions, she probably could
get an immediate peace. It would
be permanent until Germany had d.
gested the conquered territory and
prepared q new army. Then she
might ask for New York or Mil
Waukee.
There are about 100000 good Am
orleans in France now lighting for

to get it. Mr.. Berger should get

Mitchell Palmer, the alien property
custodian, are successful.
Mr.. Palmer is seeking authority
from Congress to sell to private in
taresfs, preferably American, the
vast holdings Of German citizens in
4ne United States. German interests
b America will run into hundreds Of
millions Of dollars. They include
eteamship lines, banks. insurance
companies, great mercantile houses,
and almost all lines Of manufacture
and trade. These big interests have
hever disassociated themselves with
German politics. Their aims have
always been twofold-to show q
profit and to spread the doctrine Of
German prestige. German foreign
rade policy is a very complicated
and far reaching affair, and each
restitution is cog in the one big
aachhne.
Dir. PaImer's plan Is to sell these
holdings to American investors, and
probably invest the proceeds in Am
rrjcan Liberty Bonds. After the war,
Ehesa bonds can either be turned over
