WAR DEVELOPING OUR ROADS
One of Most Important Benefits will
Be Distribution of Farm Products
by Motors.

"One of the most important benefits
OF the war to America is going to be
the development of transportation of
farm products to markets by means of
motor trucks" remarked r. G. Watts
Of st. Louis, highway engineer, while
In Washington the other day. eff any
one had told us five years ago that mo-
tor vehicles would be utilized for NOV
ing products and machinery as they
have been used in the last twelve
months, he would have been thought
crazy, yet Charles Schwab, the new
head of the fleet corporation, is Civ
ing a practical demonstration of how
TO do things by transferring a large
part of his office equipment to Phila-
delphia by. motor trucks. The high
ways of the country have been taken
over by the people for hauling goods
which could not be hauled during the
period of congestion by the railroads.
In the whole history of transportation
the highway has been the patient
drudge, but suddenly the motor truck
has come to the front and supplied for
the roads what the steam engines sup
ply for the railways, and this has
brought about many new conditions,
which will develop into many other
new and marvellous results.
ITO my mind, the most important
will be the distribution of farm prod
uets by means of motor vehicles. We
know that the farmers have always re-
lied upon the railroads for the move
ment Of their products long distances.

Fur Used Less.

In the new suits for fall the absence
of fur trimmings is notable. This Is
partly ON account of the very high
prices of furs now and partly because
women are at present wearing all
sorts Of long stoles, capes and coates
of fur over their suits and dresses. 1t
is thought this fad will carry into the
coming fall and winter, and now In
these days Of thought for conservation
of materials, all these little items are
considered by the manufacturers.

Loading Eggs Into Motor Trucks.

For the short haul, of course, they uti1-
lied the wagon and in later years the
automobile. But for hauling any great
quantity of products they relied en-
tirely on the railroads. The employ
ment of the motor truck has demon
strated its practically, and hereafter.
when things become normal we shall
see thousands of great motor vehicles
hauling farm products to market. 1t
is going to result, moreover, in a won

Roads must be built to suit the en-.

some communities can afford, while
other sections may require gravel or

ALLIES MAY. BE PREPARING
FOR GREAT OFFENSIVE
IN BALKANS

London, July 16.-Developments of
recent weeks indicate to military crit
les that the allies may be preparing
for an offensive in the Balkans.
Since the Italo-Serbian offensive of
October and November, 1916, which
resulted in the capture of Monastir by
the Serbians, there has been little or
no fighting on the Macedonian front.
But of late the official statements
of the allies, particularly the French,
have been mentioning increased artil-
|liery and infantry activity along the
River Vardar and around Lake Dorian
which lies on the Graeco-S Serbian Dor
der.
The French have pushed the Bulgar-
ians out of advanced trench positions
and rectifed the whole line between
the Adriatic and the Aegean seas.
This renewed activity is believed to
presage a new offensive against the
Turks and Bulgarians. The success of
the Italian counter offensive on the
Pave and the emminent collapse of
Austria's military power make this an
opportune time to strike.
The Macedonian line is now held by
a unified army composed of Italians,
Greeks, Serbians, French, British and
a few Montenegrins.
The Italians hold the western end of
Albania, the Serbians and Greeks the
center around Monastir, and the
French and British the eastern flank
north of Salonika.
Opposing them is an army compos.
ed mostly of Bulgarians, altho it also
includes some Turks, Austrians anc
Germans.
i. The allies are believed to hold the
preponderance of numbers, and it il
unlikely that a drive would require
very heavy reinforcement of the al
allied lines. An advance into Serb:
and Bulgaria would probably fore,
Germany to send relnlorcements t.
the Bulgarians, and it would caus
!. great rejoicing in Serbia, Albania
Montenegro and Greece.
/ General Foch has his. eye on tn
Macedonian situation, and it is only
, question of time when he will launc|
a blow for the deliverance of Serbia

his own taste in distinctive body lines,

also demands ability.
II have reason to believe that the
best proof of the ability of any motor
car may best be ascertained by inter
viewing an owner. Demonstrations
over country roads, up hills and thru

they do give striking evidence of q
