MAI. FORTESCUE TELLS
OF ARMY CANTONMENTS


The sixteen cantonments that house
Americas national army today are
modern cities, built in the wilderness
by American ability. They are COM
pIete with water supply, sewage dis
posal, and lighting and heating sys-
TENS. An idea OF the tremendous task
OF their construction was given yes
terday by Major Granville Fortescue
in a lecture before the National Geo
graphic Society.
Major Fortescue stated that each Of
the sixteen cantonments houses a
population of 5000 men taken from
every walk OF life, selected from the
flower OF Americas young manhood
to prepare to do their part in max
ing the world safe for democracy"
: He declared that the great Cause
to which these men are pledged has
destroyed every trace OF partison or
sectional feeling.

VARIED DESIGNS
ARE DISPLAYEDAT
AUTOMOBILE SALON

q. That Americans regard their auto
mobiles as essential utilities and do
not intend to handicap national eff
ciency by decreasing motor travel and
transportation is clearly indicated BY
the success attending the fourteenth
annual automobile salon which opened
New Year night in the grand ball
room of the Astor. New York. And
his success is not measured by the
magnificent display OF high-Erade
motor car chassis and custom coach
work, nor by the brilliant attendance,
but by the sales being made.
The cars exhibited range in price
from $1,000 to $4,000, a fact which
serves TO emphasize the significance
Of this buying. II 10 also Influenced
by the fact that the output of auto
mobiles IS to be curtailed during the
coming twelve months at least. the
limit of curtailment being that set by
railroad shipping conditions rather
than by shortage of materials or mu-
milton work. and therefore carly pur-
chase is desirable TO insure reasonable
delivery.
Largely Standardized.
Due to the fact that chassis con-
straction is largely standardized, in
Isrest at the automobile salon is
largely conferred in the custom coach
work. of which there are some sew
enty fine examples, each mounted on
z cha ssis and no two alike. In not a
few instances the body costs more
Ahan the chassis on account of the rare
upholstery materials used and the
ivory. silver. and gold fittings. Incl

lished at the salon, and it is here

An interesting feature Of the salon

nous aero motors from abroad, where
they have achieved marked distinc-
ton. One is actually a crippled war
