The petition TO which their names

Zion. John Il. Hylan,
Mayor of the City Of New York.
"City Hall, New York City.
Dear Mr.. Mayor:
I'VE, the undersigned, desire to ex-
press to you our appreciation Of your
appointment of William Randolph
Hearst as a member OF the Mayors
committee Of welcome to Homecoming
troops and head OF the military com
mlttce, having in its charge important
details OF the duty of welcoming home
our men from across the sea-
I'VE believe Mr.. Hearst's appoint
ment is proper recognition Of his in
terest in the welfare of our soldiers,
sailors and marines, and that our
heroes have no greater champion. no
more sincere and patriotic friend than
Mr.. Hearst.
"Our brave men put forth their great
efforts and risked their lives that true
democracy might live. not only polit-
zeal democracy. but in the larger sense
democracy OF equa! economic and in
dustrial opportunity.
"Mr. Hearst has fought the fight
country, and it is fitting and proper
that conspicuous defender OF the
rights Of the people should be con-
spcuous member Of the commi tee
which greets the peoples soldiers.
"The appointment OF Mr. fIearst is
taken advantage of not SO much to
criticise YOU as to afford occasion and
opportunity for the advocates and bene-
ticis.!ies Of special privilege to attack a
man who has been unswerving in his
devotion 10 the cause and the liberties
OF the exploited public.

the public. from whose ranks the SOL

Let it be added to. 1t is the answer
10 unfair and selfish criticism, the cx-
preston of the real patriotic senti-
rent Of che people Of the City of New

Significant of the attitude OF those
who protested against, permitting

All Of those who signed the uocu-

that organization. however. that this

action and the resolutions were not
made public by the officers, but by the
members.

M|[[|0NsOFDOLLlRs
FOR GOOD H|GHWAYS

Hundreds Of millions Of dollars will
be made available for road expendi-
lures in the United States within the.
next few months II legislation now
awaiting consideration is favorably
acted upon by the assemblies of the
various states. At no past time in
the history of the nation has there
been such q trend toward highway
development as is evidenced by these
measures, and road builders every
where are confronted with the neces-
sity of formulating broad policies to
govern the expenditures.
Early estimates placed the total
amount which would be expended by
states and nation in 1919 at $500, 000,-
600. Since that time the senate has
acted favorably upon bill providing
for an increase of $200,00O,0 900 in the
! federal aid act, of which $50, 900
is made Immediately available and an
other $750O0,00O added in the fiscal
year beginning July / of the present
year. The remainder is set aside for
1920-1921.
This is not all. North Carolina has
provided for an increased revenue of
$1,250,000 derived from automobile
revenues to meet the increased federal
aid, which is to be supplemented by
an annual bond issue of 100000.
Illinois has voted $6O,000,000 and
Pennsylvania 100000 When the
Georgia legislature meets 1t will have
before it a bond issue providing $780,
100000 coupled with an additional $780,
100000 tax. Colorado has under con-
sideration 10 highway measures, among
them one calling for $20,000,000 in
bonds. Arizona is shortly to take up
an extended program.
| Oklahoma seeks $40,000,000 and
elected a governor pledged to the spe-
cific platform of a state highway sys-
TEN. Minnesota's issue has been vari-
ously placed from $40,000,000 to $780,
100000, the probable outcome being an
acceptance of the lower figure now
with increases later, until a complete
network of highways is provided. Vir-
ginia purposes an outlay Of $4,000, 900;
West Virginia is making preparations
for an increase; Alabama wants $780,
100000; Utah, 100000.
/ In Michigan an intensive campaign
will be carried through for $5O,OO0,-
900 appropriation to pull the state Out
of the mud and if a complete char
could be made, it could probably be
shown that every state in the Unior
is contemplating increases Of one kind
or another.
Not all of these sums will be avail.

WHAT HAS HENRY FORD
UP HIS SLEEVE NOW?

Detroit, Mich. March Ito say
that Detroit was startled by the news
from Los Angeles to the effect that
Henry Ford had announced that he
would withdraw from active partici-
patton in the present plant at High
land Park and organize a new COM
pany to sell a car for $3.50 or less, is
expressing it mildly. At the Ford Motor
company offices the report was re-
ceived with unfeigned surprise. Off
Gals declined to be quoted, but in
sisted that it was something of which
they had never heard Even e. N.
Liebold, Mr.. Ford's confidential Sec
rotary, said he had no knowledge of
such movement. Officials who were
approached, while they refused to talk
were plainly puzzled.
To the. 10000 or more employees at
the main plant. and the many thou
sands in the var Gus assembling plants
throughout the country, the announce
ment was fraught with significance. 1t
threatened their very economic exist
ence. If Mr.. Ford should retire from
the great Highland Park plant. what
effect will it have on the fortunes OF
the workers? Would it mean the end
of the Sc per day minimum wages, the
adjustment of an eight-hour day ,oI
other of Mr.. F'ord's hobbies, which
vitality affect the living conditions OF
more than 100000 persons?
At the eighteenth annual show of
the Detroit Automobile Dealers asso-
citation, oratory on the merits of the
cars was shelved and Mr. Ford's an
nouncement was discussed with deep
interest.
Efforts to induce John F. Dodge, or
his brother, Horace. or Mayor James
S. Couzens, stockholders in the Ford
company, to discuss the matter were
futile. None would talk until he learn
ed more definitely just what Ford in
tends to do kilograms sent to Mr.,
Ford, who is en- route home, asking
him to verify or refute the Los Ange-
les interview remained unanswered
and everything is up in the air until
the motor magnate reaches Detroit
Sunday or Monday.
Dispatches from Akron relate that
the report that Harvey Fl. Firestone
would be associated with Ford in the
new enterprise was greeted with sur
prise by officials of the big tire com
pany They also refuse to comment
on the report declaring that they were
not aware of Mr.. Firestones plans
but, in view of the fact, that Mr.
Firestone conferred with Mr.. Ford be-
fore the announcement, some credence
is given to the report of the Akron
mans connection with the project.
Henry Ford has furnished many
thrills to his fellow townsmen in the
past, but his latest announcement has
eclipsed all. Leading Detroit bust
ness men confessed that they were ut
terly flabbergasted.. 1t is limited thai
an effort will be made to effect q
compromise between Mr.. Ford and
those stockholders with whom he has
differed. Some were inclined to thinl
that the matter could be amicably adj
justed, but those close to the automo.
bile king were dubious. They declare
that Mr.. F'ord's fighting Irish blood /:
aroused, and they know from expert.
ence that he cannot be swayed.

MAXWELL TRUCK CARRIES
WAR SUPPL les 34OO MILES
ON COAST TO COAST TRIP

Army men are enthusiastic In their
praise for the Maxwell truck.
Data and figures of service were
gathered from every possible source
regarding the performance Of various
makes of trucks. But there was nc
single performance that SO impressed
the officials as the sensational journey
made from San Francisco to New York
by the Maxwell truck-loaded to the
guards with war supplies shipped
from Australia enroute to France.
The powerful Maxwell truck startled
the transportation world by delivering
its cargo In II days and eight hours
averaging 1917 miles per day; and en-
countering all the obstacles of a Gin
tinuous 340O mile trip.
This sturdy truck surpassed all ex-
listing records of motor transportation
