Materials, NotMarkets
Problem of Auto
Industry

The problem of the automobile in.
dustry in reverting to peace business
will be materials and not markets, ac-
cording to Alvan Macauley, president
and general manager Of the Packard
Motor Car Company. The supply of
labor skilled in automobile making will
increase gradually and become avail
able, Mr.. Macauley thinks, about as
fast as materials are received, and ulti
Mately there will be employment in the
automobile business for every man for
merly in it.
The Packard company began moving
on to peace basis two days before the
armistice was signed, when the manu-
featuring department was authorized to
resume the making of motor cars.
Thus, the company, which two years be
tore the declaration of war began work
on the aviation engine from which the
Liberty motor developed, became one
of the pioneers in the resumption of
the industrial programme of peace
times.
"The automobile demand before war
num-" says Mr.. Macauley "The bust
ness declined, not for lack of demand,
but on account of war conditions, which
made even transportation by auto
mobile of secondary Importance. In
brief, the industry, with all it's facili-
ties and special talents, was called to
the colors.
"Now that the stress and strain Incl
dent to equipplng for war against the
most powerful military nation the
world has ever seen is past, the auto
mobile demand will certainly reasscrt
itself.
"Markets undoubtedly will be there.
The problem will be to obtain the
proper mater ais from the makers of
steel and other products of which auto
mobiles are made. They are now work
ing on war materials. The govern
ment's announced policy is to taper
down the demand for these Materials
1t follows from this that they can only
taper up-if that's a correct expression
in supplying materials for the manu-
facture of automobiles.
GAS to labor skilled in automobile lie
making, that will become gradually but
steadily more available, and at an in
creasing rate as war contracts are com
pleted or diminished. Probably the
labor will become available about as
fast as we can receive materials.
"Generally speaking, | predict that
the automobile industry will reassert
and reestablish its former splendid
proportions as rapidly as is wise in ex~
isting circumstances There will ulti-
mately be employment in the auto
mobile business for every man for
mcrly in it,"

Congress To Be Asked to Pass
Comprehensive Highway Bills
Adoption Of Federal Road Plan Will Be Urged-Efort
Will Be Made to Provide Each State With
wo Main Highways

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. - Several
comprehensive highways measures will
be introduced in the present Congress
soon after it reassembles next week
for its concluding session.
Present indica .ons are that the bills
Will agree in fundamentals and all will
call for the creation of Federal road
plan, III which each state relatively
Will be provided with two main high
ways, one running transversely and the
other longitudinally across the state
and connecting with similar arteries
OF communication in adjoining states
or countries. Both Canada and Mexico
are deSlrous of making trunk highway
connections with the United States, in
the belief that an interchange of road
travellers will do much to further
friendly international relations.
An understanding has been reached
between the American Association of
State Highway Officials and the Amer
lean Automobile Asso -lt.tion to support
the same measure, 1t viii be remem-
bcred that these organizations led the
successful campaign for the passage Of
the Federal road aid act. whereby $75,-
100000 is now being expended in con-
nection with $4,000 900 contributed by
the. several states on highways which
form parts of state road systems. The
next effort will concern interstate or
Federal highways, and S100,000,O0O an
nually for five years is one sum that
has been suggested. In addition, there
would also be appropriated an amount
yearly for the continuation of the
present road act.
1t is not unlikely that President
Wilson in his address to Congress on
its opening may make reference to
highways transportation in his recon
struction programme.

P a ackard Company
Has Built 5000
Liberty Motors
By BECK

The 5,000th Liberty motor built by
the Packard Company was shipped on
November 2i week after its final
assembly in the Packard shops. and a
week ahead of the first anniversary of
the completion of the first Liberty en-
gine ever made from standard tools.
1t was on Thanksgiving Day, 1917
that the first Liberty motor to come
from an organized production line came
from the production line of the Pack
ard. Wrapped in an American flag. it
was shipped the same day to the Amer
lcah aircraft forces
Between thanksgiving and the fol-
LOWING March the process of the new
war engines development was that of
the accommodation of tool to design
and design to tool always necessary in
the preparation for quantity production
OF quality motor. The work of
pioneering this development was either
given by the government to the Pack
ard or assumed by the Packard for the
government. Consequently, as late as
february 25, Packard had produced the
only Liberty engines in operation, and
to date Packard has built more Lib
eAty motors IMAM any other manufact-
urer has made.
The great results of that develop
ment period are measurable by the
tact that the improvements effected
raised the horsepower of the Liberty
motor from 367. at which the govern
ment had accepted it for production.
to more than $50. Another result was
that large scale production rapidly fol-
lowed final Standardization of tools
and design, so that by the end of the
war, eight months later, Uncle Sam
had more than $4,000 Liberty engines.

Other otates Expected to Resume Road improvements

DET ROIT, Nov. 3O-With the ink
scarcely dry upon the armistice which
closed the greatest of all world wars.
tangible evidence is already coming to
hight of one of the important forces of
good resulting from our participation in
the great struggle. Definite plans are
now being made for the building of
through, connecting, permanent high
ways destined to he of value to the en-
tire nation. The war brought home a
national appreciation of our imperative
need for permanent, through, connect
ing highways. Transportation condi-
tlons existing in 1917 and 1918 focus at
tention upon this need.
With an eye to the future the Lin
coin Highway Association anticipated
Developments in this connection, and is
prepared for greater measure Of
active, constructive endeavor in 1919
than ever before. Despite its evident
Importance road building was being
more and more restricted as time
passed, but with the cessation Of hos
tilities more liberal policy on the
part of the many agencies governing
such constructive endeavors is conf
IDENTIFY to be expected, more, it is an
tlclpated that every such agency will
lend its full support TO the Immediate
resumption of such work
The State of Illinois provided for the
complete hard -surfacing OF the LIN
coin Highway from Geneva to the Mis-
sisslppi River, but wartime conditions
prevented the undertaking OF this
work in 1918. The demand for this
improvement has grown. A. the No
vember election the voters of the State
Of illinois approved sixty million dol
lar bond issue, By an Overwhelming
majority, for the construction of a
state wide system of permanent roaes.
The bonds were not to be sold nor the
work started until after the war. The
end of the war came within a week o.
the approval Of the bond issue. 1t is
but fair to assume that the work of
finishing the construction of the Lin
coin Highway in the state will be un-
dertaken at the first available oppor-
tunity in tho spring
The action ia Illinois set q precedent.

London, Sept 5.
An entirely new aspect of the Rus
sian situation is created by the attack
OH the British embassy in Petrograd
and the murder Of Captain Francis
Cromie. the naval attache, which is
-denounced here as the blacklist of
many infamous deeds committed by
the Bolsheviki. The British Govern
ment has lost no time in forwarding
to ] eign Minister Tchitcherin a
stern note demanding immediate rep.
aration and the punishment Of all con-
cerned in what it characterizes as IAN
abomnable outrage"
In the event of failure to give COM
plete satisfaction, the British Foreign
Office solemnly warns the Soviet gov
ernment that it will hold its members
Individually responsible and do what
1t can to insure that they shallSbe
treated as outlaws by the world.
The attack took place Saturday last
by Bolsheviki troops, VINO, there is rea-
son to believe, were acting under Or
ders of the Bolshevik government.
Naturally this wanton outrage upon
International law was resisted by the
members of the British legation who
We're there. Captain Cromie seems to
have led the defending forces. He is
said to. have kille6 three Of the BoI-
shevik soldiers with his own hands,
but the few persons present were soon
overcome by overwhelming numbers.
Besides committing nameless out
RACES on the captains body, the Bol.
sheviki forbade an English clergyman
to pay the last offices of respect to
the remains of his gallant fellow
countryman
1t is feared that similar attack
will be made upon the French en-
bassy, and urgent measures are being
taken to prepare for it's defense. Q
The building occupied by the French
military mission also has been at
tackled. but, the papers stored there
had been removed to a place Of safety.
Some members of the mission have
been put under arrest, and the Bol.
sheviki are already encouraging the
populace to massacre both the British
and French in Petrograd..
