BOMBS CAUSE SURRENDER
German Force Scared by Explosions,
Divert Course and Meet British

LONDON, May 1s.--Surrender of
German force Of three thousand
men in East Africa was due to the
chance dropping OF bombs by "A
British airman, according to re-
port from Capetown, which says:
AN officer of the flying corps
was out on reconnaissance in the
region Of the Rovuma river. but
found nothing to bomb. Being forced
to discharge his cargo OF bombs to
tighten his machine for the home
ward trip, he chose quiet spot and
dropped them all, causing. Of course.
considerable noise.
The German general. Tafel, was
at the time marching to Join his
chief. Won Lettow, but news Of the
explosions was reported TO him, and
he, thinking a large force Of the
enemy must be somewhere in the
district diverted his line Of march
and before long bumped into a
British force,
Ultimately his whole force, three
athousand strong, surrendered"

that IL will greatly increase. IL is not
so likely that there will be "A serious
fuel shortage the coming winter in
asmuch as the American people had
a very serious lesson taught to them.
For Better Distribution.
'If people lay in supplies Of coal
early through the summer the
change will simply be a different dis
tribution, and better distribution.
But, considering the increased
amount OF tonnage the railroad will
be required to handle, and the still
inadequate terminals at various
large ports on the Atlantic seaboard,
there is likely TO be another traftlc
tangle. and one that may be more
disastrous than that of last winter.
The proper application OF motor
trucks to this big problem certainiS
will relieve it as no other ranspor-
tation could. 1 believe American
business men will come to feel that
it is their patriotic duty to relieve
the railroads of as much work as
possible, and will increase the ettl-
cheney OF their own business con
cerned by having adequate fleets OF
motor trucks to handle their haul
ing problem to all points wlthln
radius, say, of one hundred miles
from their plant, and TO use al OF
their trucks all of the time, to Keep
the channels of commerce un-
clogged.
ut is the relieving of the railroads
of this short haul work that really
counts. The railroads are capable
of carrying goods on long distance
calls IL they are relieved OF snort
haul work. Short haul freight on
the railroads at various centers ana
generally holds back and tends 10
tie up the transportation system.
Il am sure that neither the gov
ernment or the business men or the
country will fail to see the real re-
lief offered by the motor truck. Ana
| firmly believe that the next year
and a half will see splendidly or
ganized fleets OF motor trucks hand,
ling practically all of the short haul
freight between the congested cen
ters of population. This will simply
be applying the lesson taught ny
the motor truck under war condi-
tons to the equally serious transpor-
tation problem we will find at home
as long as the war lasts and even
longer"

TRAFFIC DIFFICULTIES
ARISE IN AMERICA
". C. RowIey, OF Federal Motor
Truck Company, Points Out
Real Obstacles.

Preparations in America for the
traffic difficulties that are bound

the Federal Motor Truck company.

freight agent for the Michigan Cen
.tral railroad. and is thorough stu
dent and authority on railroad trat-
fic conditions.
Mr.. Rowley points out that when
American ships that are now being
built began operation the strain upon
the railroads will be far greater than
It Is now and that some definite
means of relief must be devised. This
means. obviously, is the motor truck.
The performance of American motor
trucks are the agency to settle this
problem.
Agricultural production such as
never has been dreamed Of in this
country is demanded for the year
1919. The ships which are 10 be
built and will be launched during
the coming summer will carry great
er cargoes of American products
abroad to our own soldiers in France
and to the people Of England and
France particularly, than ever be-
fore. This means that the railroads
will have to carry greater volumes
OF goods to the Atlantic seaboaTd
and that thep will be overwhelmed
with work. The motor truck mus:
come to the rescue and the American
public must make preparations to
meet the great transportation &C.
nand The trucks have proven con
rlusively that they can relieve the
railroads of much OF the short hau,
traffic and that many kinds OF
freight can be transported on long
hauls with great success and d.
reasonable cost.

SUNDAY, APRIL 81, TO BE LIB.
ERTY LOAN SUNDAY.

A signed letter from Secretary of
the Treasury William G.. McAdoo now
being sent to $4,000 clergymen
throughout the country has requested
April 81 to be officially and nationally
observed as Liberty Loan Sunday.
There are about Al 100000 men,
bers in continental United States, and
these are looked after spiritually by
more than 10000 ministers. More
and more it is becoming apparent to
these churches that their very exist
ence as free bodies moving within a
free State, is one of the things at
stake in this war.
The time has come for every Amer
lean church, whose freedom to wor-
ship according to the dictates of con-
science was bought with precious
blood in the Revolutionary War, to
line up with the American Govern
ment that has assured and protected
that liberty these 140 years or more.
Secretary McAdoo is making his ap-
peal as a God-fearing American to
the pastors to bring their influence
nationally speaking, to bear upon
their fiocks in the great drive now
under way for the successful f1ota-
SAOA VI AAOSity oOh0S.
The Secretary has chosen a
strategic time for a national Liberty
Loan Sunday, which will be two
weeks before the end of the National
Liberty Loan campaign. 1t is just
about that time in a campaign like
the present one, when Jealous people
are likely to be overconfdent and let
up on their efforts to put the Third
Liberty Loan over. The clergy are to
be an important factor in urging their
folk onward and upward in the good
fight. They can devote entire sermon
periods to the issue involved. They
can get behind Liberty Committees in
their parishes, to see that they have
rounded up the slackers and laggards,
showing them their Christian duty in
the matter
That Secretary McAdoo's letter
will have its desired effect is a fore
gone conclusion.
