Iowa city. Sept. 1s.--oualifying for
entry thru the pearly gates.-ln ac-
cordance with the soldierp i0sA.-Cor-
poral James Harrison. OF the Forty
eighth Highlanders. an Iowa City boy.
who enlisted In Canada. has killed
more than eight Huns. He writes to
his parents here, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles

there) that II IL declared that you
must kill eight boches to get to heav-
en-" He AIDA that with his machine
gun, which worked like a clock" he
has ported many moro than that cligi-
bility number.
Corporal Harrison, who. like his three
brothers and his parents, was born IN
England, was never naturalixed. but he
volunteered as soon A. he could enter
the army. shortly after leaving the
high school. He writes Of his --latest
charge:
IT was great piece o6 work by tho
allies and big surprise to Fritz. We
were In his lines before he knew We
were coming and we captured some Of
his officers in their pajamas. Some Of
his men were big huskies. but some
were mere boys. They can't stand tho
bayonet at ALL
Fritz puts up good scrap until you
get right up to him and then he pulls
the 'Kamerad' stuff.
The morning we attacked, In quite a
heavy fog, we came to q valley where
the Hun made a stand. 1t was choked
up with machine guns. He held W
pretty well for time. Suddenly. out
Of the fog. came the shrill notes of the
pipes playing The Cock of the North
Then. with a yell, that wild bunch
OF H!shlanders charged down the val
ley and i've minutes later the only
Huns left there were dead ones.
1T was great but it's tough TO see
your pals killed near you and you un-
able to help them,-but it's all part Of
the game and they all died facing the
Huns. I don't think there has ever
been a Canadian killed retiring. They
have been out since 1914 and never lost
a trench"

wrhs opposing conceptions Of ~
dividual belligerent states would nle-
wise have 10 form tho subject Of such
a discussion, to- mutual enlightenment,
as well a. the general principles that
shall serve as the basis for peace and
the future relations of tho states to one
another, and regarding which. In the
first place, an accord can be sought
with prospect Of success.
"As soon as an agreement were
reached on the fundamental principles,
an attempt would have to be made In
ly to apply them to individual peace
questions and thereby bring about their
solution.
1--WE venture to hope that there will
be no objection on the part of any
belligerents TO such an exchange of
views. The war activities would ex-
perience no interruption. The discus
sions, too, would only go so far as was
considered by the participants TO offer
a prospect of success. No disadvan-
tages would arise therefrom for the
states represented. Far from harming,
such an exchange of views could only
be useful TO the cause of peace.
Would Release "Human Kindness"
What did not succeed the first time
can be repeated. and perhaps it has al
ready at least contributed to the clari-
fication of views. Mountains of mis-.
understandings might be removed and
many new things perceived. Streams
of pent-up human kindness would be
released, in the warmth Of which every
thing essential would remain, and, on
the other hand. much that is antago-
nistic. to which excessive Importance is
still attributed, would disappear.
According to our conviction all the
belligerents Jointly owe to humanity to
examine whether now. after so many
years of costly but undecided strug-
gle, the entire course of which points
to an understanding, it is possible TO
make an end to the terrible grapple.
"The royal and imperial government
would like, therefore, to propose to the
governments of all the belligerent states
to send delegates to a confidential and
unbinding discussion on the basic prin-
ciples for the conclusion of peace, in a
place in a neutral country and at near
date that would yet have to be agreed
upon-delegates who were charged to
make known to one another the concep-
ton of their governments regarding
those principles and to receive anal
ogous communication, as well as to re-
quest and give frank and candid ex-
PLANTATION on all those points which need
to be precisely defined.
1.-The royal imperial government has
the honor to request the government
Of -. thru the kind mediation OF
your excellency, to, bring this COM
munication to the knowledge of the
government of -"

 ON 4 b|C NEW TOUR

For the fifth time in his career as 8 professional auto driver. E. c. (Can- non BalD Baker Of Indianapolis. is making q test tour which will touch every state capital in the United States.
 The trip began July i MT. Baker drives a Revere automobile equipped with United States royal cord tires. Previous to this trip, MT Baker had made four similar tours of the United States in Cadillac and Stutz cars, Those trips were made in four months, but at the rate he is now traveing. he expects to finish the present tour in two and a half months.

CAD|lLACS IN ARMY
 SERVICE AST0N|SH
 WITH PERFORMANCE

Letters of praise for the perform ance of the Cadillac cars in service with our army in France continue to come from officers who have oppor tunity to observe the cars. Captain Melville Levy. ordnance detachment ammunition train. second division, writes 10 the Cadillac company:
 "I should like to tell you, in some small way, what the Cadillac is doing to help crush Prussian miitarism. Truly. it is wonderful how these master mechanical creations go along hourly, weekly and monthly, grinding out miles-over shell-torn roads, over fields. mostly in the hands of inexperi- enced drivers.
 They never seem to go into the shops for overhauling and very seldom for adjustments. Officers who use the cars have the very highest praise for them. I have talked with generals who use them, and tehy are most en- thusiastic. The drivers are delighted with the privilege of caring for them.
 ''I saw 55 phaeton up at ---- the other day. It had finished it's perform ance for awhile. The boches were fir ing on the woods where the 55 was camped. The Cadillac, having been ac- customed to the right of way for about ten years could not yield this place to boche shrapnel.
 AS result, it had to be lowed away. The top was literally punctured, the hood filled with holes, and one piece of shell passed through the exhaust manifold. piercing d hole about half inch round, and doing a job any shop mechanic would have been proud to call his own. The steering wheel was shot away, the rear wheels shot off and the body filled with holes.
 livery officer and soldier in France is Cadillac booster, and Americans will certainly hear about Cadillac per formance over here when the war is over.''
 Second Lieutenant w. F. O'Brien mechanical repair shop, unit 302 writes:
 Tt is highly gratifying to observe practically all the American automotive vehicles in the service and, in addition great many of the foreign cars with the A. E. F. and with our allies. must say that, after seeing both the Ameri- can and foreign cars put through the hardships of the service here, it is wonderful the way the Cadillac shows up in comparison with the others. II is the most eagerly sought make of all The admiration is not only with the American army. The praise of oul allies is just as spontaneous.

COOD ROADS NEEDED
 ID HANDLE TRAFFIC.

During the past two years this country has been awakened 10 the tremendous importance adequate trans portation facilities play in our present industrial and economic systems But this is not enough" says Vim. Fergu sen of the Ferguson Keeler company, local Oldsmobile dealers. Every man in the United States should realize that our transportation requirements are on the increase and will continue to increase for several years to come.
 Step We'll Taken
 The governments action in taking over the railroads for the duration of the war at least, is a step in the right direction. It unifies the entire rail- way system in a manner that makes t possible to secure the greatest pos sible results with prcent equipment.
 This. however. but partially solves the problem It has been proven over and again that the railroads alone cannot hope to meet the national need. The answer is, without question. more good roads.
 The immediate success of the new lY formed rural express lines and re- turn load bureaus is ample proof that people generally are waiting only for some one to take the initiative. As a matter of fact, no one has any idea of how much traffic, (both passenger and freight. would be diverted to the pub lie highways if good roads were pro- Vided. Nor has anyone yet been able to appreciate how stupendously valu able the actual savings in time. money and energy would be.
 ,ck If Good Roade
 ."The crux of the whole situation is lack of sufficient good roads. But that can be remedied; it costs relatively little more to build permanent roads than it does to keep the average roao in fit condition. and l am sure that once the American people digest the facts a wonderful national highway system will follow.
 50 far as immediate necessity is concerned, it is high time that steps were taken to provide for keeping the roads clear next winter. A repetition of last winters experiences certainly should not be risked

YOUNGSTERS LEARN
 OF CORDS MERITS

When Fern Penny and Betty Nathan suddenly made up their minds that they wanted swing, such as they used when children, they were unable to find a rope strong enough to hold them, said C. H. Howard, manager of the local B. F. Goodrich Rubber company depot.
 Accordingly. Betty suggested that they take the cord from an old worn out Silvertown tire. Throwing this cord over the friendly branch of big tree. they soon had the desired swing.
 The girls had only enough cord to go over the branch once and they felt little dubious as to whether the single strand would be sufficiently strong to hold them. Betty tried the swing first, and then Fern got into it too, and the cord held them without q quiver. They were pleasantly sur prised to find that the single strand of cord was sufficient to Hold their united weight
 Miss Nathan. speaking of the occur ence, said, I can see now why we get such splendid service from our Silver town tires. With cord as stout as this for foundation, it is no wonder that the tires are so strong and last so long,"

THE HEAUTOMOb|LE
 AND WORLD WAR

Napoleon said An army travels on it's stomach" What he meant by that is clear 10 everyone. Napoleon might have added that an army lasts with it's ammunition" said MT Pettingall of the Overland Arizona company, recent ly.
 But Germany had evidently either disregarded this great strategist's ex- perience as not of the "Kultur" type, and therefore worthless. or she had overlooked an important bet in tho battle of the Marne.
 "Non Gluck, the German general, could easily see the Eiffel Tower; he could almost smell Parisan cooking ho had only to take a step and the beautiful capitol of France was his.
 But toward supper time his men got hungry. and had to live on hopes for hreakfaft. Morning dawned and noon came. but no food. No food. and no ammunition. The slow moving sup plies had not arrived. The German Service of Supplies had shown up a hlunder.
 Absence of motors did it.
 Tt was then that the French had to concentrate a mobile army. Railroads were out of the question: so for the first time an army was moved on trucks, busses, and in fact, on any thing in the shape of high-speed motor Ychiclss.
 And the motors did it.
 The French concentrated the neces- gary troops and made possible the first victory of the Marne--the battle which saved the world.
 since that time the automobile is proving more and more each day ifs usefulness in the great war
 The automobile will go down ir history as one of tho supporting stones in the arch of democracy. the key stone of which is Liberty"

LETTER FROM DAYTON
Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 20, 1918.

Dayton, Ohio, Sept. ~, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Hetherington: - Just
when fellow gets agreeably situated
at one post, along comes an order
from headquarters to move-but that
is to be expected in army life, SO
here / am now stationed at the Will
bur Wright Flying Field, near Day
ton.
1 received orders, and left Park
Field, Memphis, Tenn, the 18th OF
this month and am up here to take
a shot gunnery course, which is the
finishing touches they give us pur-
suit pilots on this side of the pond.
This is just one step nearer over
seas orders and that sounds mighty
good to every one of us-approxi-
mately 500 fellows here taking this
course, so the sooner we get through
the better.
The course consists of studying all
the different machine guns which we
will have to use on the front and
the better man knows his gun and
is able to shoot straight, the mere re-
suits he will have in aerial combat.
We are spending six hours day
learning to shoot straight and fast
and, with the training we are getting,
believe me, old Boche Pilot better
head for home when he sees one of
