Production Increase Noted.

Maj. Heaslett, he said. working
with committee composed of H. NJ
Leland, Lincoln Motors Company; c.
II. Wills. Ford Motor Company. and
Messrs. Bell and Roberts of the Pack

and complete authority for all engine
production, and it was the work of
this committee and of Maj. HeasIett
that production amounted to 31S14
engines UP to November IL.
The liberty engine, said Lieut.. En-
mons, is rated at 410 horsepower
but often reaches ATS horsepower, and
in several instances under special con-
ditions has been developed to pro-
duce 526 horsepower. Its life at the
front is estimated at sixty days Aero
plane mechanics are instructed to
overhaul at least once every fifty
hours, as compared with an overhaul
every twenty hours with other aero
plane engines. The highest endurance

Wars Effect on Cars.

question often asked automobile
engineers is what effect is the war
going to have on car design. The
war is not going to have any ma
terial effect on car bodies or the
general appearance of cars. although
there is no doubt but what the les
sons learned in the strenuous war
service will leave their imprints on a
number of details.
Probably the most important lesson
that can be learned from the war is
the necessity of accessibility. The
time should come very soon in which
it will no longer be necessary for a
man to pay bill of 50 or SO to reach
some part of his car which it costs SO
cents to replace. The cost of auto
mobils labor is so high that it is very
bad efficiency to have an inaccessible
car. Every car is bound to wear in
certain parts, and the car should be
so designed that the parts which
wear quickest can be most easily
reached. There are number1ess cases
where enormous bills have been paid
for replacing some small part which
should have been designed SO as to be
accessible in a few minutes instead of
requiring several hours of work, per-
haps by two men, to reach it.
Some of the things which are COM

MAJORS CADILLAC SAVED
ITS "WORKS" FROM SHELL

Maj. w. P. WattIes. in command of
the SD Telegraph Battalion, A. E. F.,
and formerly of the Bell Telephone
Company of Pennsylvania, has re-
corded one of the most interesting
Cadillac stories of the war. His de-
scription is as follows:
"A few days ago had rather close
shave, but over here one realizes that
miss is as good as a few feet. 1 had
gone out to inspect some telephone
lines. Arriving at a little town, L
stopped my car alongside of a stone
wall, where it would not be too Wis
ible from above. ] sat for few min
utes looking over the country through
my field glasses The boches were
shelling a town about three-quarters
of a mile away. The chauffeur and l
got out of the car and I decided to
walk down the road where l could
get a better view of the line.
When I had gone about seventy
FIVE yards the boches threw over
about ten shells, which went over my
head and exploded in the town behind
me. oh, yes, l was fiat on the ground,
waiting for the burst of anger to sub
side-following out the saying that
he who fops without delay may live
to flop another day
When 1 got back to my car / found
that one of the shells had exploded
alongside it, tearing a fourfoot hole
in the wall, hurting about two bushels
of rock into the car and riddling the
body of the car with lis clean holes,
not including numerous dents. some
shell fragments had gone through the
metal, the upholstery and out through
the other side. The windshield Was
smashed, the top, which was folded
was literally riddled and there were
seven punctures in one tire and four
in another
"The only mechanical damage to
| the engine was a small hole in the
water jacket (Which we plugged with
a piece of wood) and a small leak in
| the pipe line to the oil gauge

from abroad. the program was in

of War. This information was brought
out by Lieut. H H Emmons, U. S. N,
recently.
In describing the difficulties en-
countered in the production of the
liberty engine he said thai from
$500 to 5000 jjgs, tools. etc. had to
be designed and manufactured espe-
cially for each manufacturer engaged
in liberty engine production, and from

There will be but little new in the
automobile field within the next
twelve months. says ]. Edward Schip-
per, technical editor of Automotive
Industries. New York. When the new
cars do come through they will not be
radically changed from what we have
now.
If there is any tendency in gen.
eral design it will be toward lighter
cars, in which the lightness is Sc
cured by more scientific design and
better utilization of less space. In
other words. the car of the future
will get better performance and have
more room for driver and passenger

Cost Figures by Foreign Nations.

In discussing the costs, Lieut.. En-
mons stated that the foreign nations
figure the cost of an engine at $40 a
horsepower. This would have placed
the cost of the liberty engine at more
than $4,000 and was Immediately re-
garded as too high by the American
officials who first set bogey price of
$500 and later reduced this to 81 900
after the manufacturer showed it to
be about the proper price. The
Wright-Martin Company. it was
stated, received $500 apiece for
several thousand Hispano-Suiza en-
gsnes it produced, this high figure
being due to the royalties which had
to be paid to Spain. as that country
controls the Hispano -Suiza patents
The King of Spain, it was said, is the
actual owner.

American manufacturers difficulties
With them, Lieut.. Emmons said that
when the specifications and drawings
of the lie Rhone engines were re-
ceived they were almost unintelligi-
Bile. They called, for example, for
the use of mild steel when they
should have specified chrome nickel,
and the American authorities found
it necessary to tear down an engine
and analyze IL to learn what metals
were used in its manufacture before
it was possible to make it. There
were $500 LIE Rhone engines ordered,
of which 1900 were delivered up to
the signing of the armistice These
were made by the Union Switch and
Signal Company, and were praised
by the foreign chief engineer of the
lie Rhone factory abroad to be the
best rotary engines he had ever seen

CONDITIONS Qs|>
THE BO .

William BleumSchen, a member OF
the Black Hawk division, came from
North Freedom to Baraboo on Monday
for short visit and while here told
Of the terrible conditions on the Ital-
ian boat which brought a portion of
the Black Hawks home. He said the
officers Jared we'll, but the privates
had food that could be eaten by only
starving men. The meat was rancid
and the Ietlian cooks were anything
but clean. Before ten men was placed
a large dish containing the spoiled
meat and spaghetti. The potatoes
were never washed and often meat,
before being cooked, took slide
across the floor The priVates got up
a petition to improve conditions and
this almost brought a courtmartial
from the officers of the army. He says
conditions going over were bad enough
but life on the Italian craft, Duca
D'Aosta, was intolerable. When the
boys went over he realized there was
great need to be hurried across in
crowded conditions, but Mr.. Bluem-
schen can see no excuse for the awful
state of affairs on the return.
He was with the 331st field artillery,
which passed through Kilbourn last
summer on its way to Camp Robinson.
His part of the division travelled 800
miles in England 700 miles in France.
They were just about ready for the
front when the war ended. They ex-
pected to sail from Bordeaux, but were
sent to Marseilles where they boarded
the Duca D Aosta. The home trip
was long, much longer than promised
by the boat company.
Others on the Same Boat
Burr H. Dickie, Charles Pawlsch of
North Freedom, Private Stoskopf of
Leland and D. H. Smith of Baraboo
also returned on the same boat, all be-
ing Black Hawks.
Mr.. Smith says there were about
25, 900 in the Black Hawk division, but
few of the infantry reaching the front.
Mr.. Smith says he Jared very we'll on
the Italian boat by making special
purchases of food. This could be done,
costing ABOUT HIIeeH uOIldIS each TIC
says the soldiers could have done the
cooking, but the colonel did not see
1T to make any change. The cooking
by the soldiers would have been much
better than that of the Italians. He
understood the colonel intended to
recommend to the government that
the Dusa d Aosta bring no more
troops TO America.
Mr.. Smith formerly made his home
at the Cummings boarding house and
expects TO reside in Ind ana or Ohio in
the future His sister is postmaster
at the old home at Disko, Ind, and his
father resides in the Buckeye, state.

UNCLE SAM
Enlisted Men Obtain Soft Berths
Through Payment of Cash and
Presents, Statement Says

The first definite official statement
regarding the scandal in the Third ma.
val district was issued by Secretary
Daniels Tuesday night at Washington
when he announced that Lieut. Benoit
James Ellert, Chief Boatswain LLOYD
G. Casey and Chief Boatswain's Mate
Frederick A. Jones were involved in
the investigation and had been put un.
der arrest, in addition to Lieut.. Ben
jamin Davis and Ensign Paul Beck,
whose arrest had been previously an
nOunced.
The statement says in part:
Benjamin Davis was on duty at
the enrolling Office, 81 Chambers
street New York city, and in connec-
tion with his work as medical examin-
er it is alleged he received on numer-
Gus occasions sums of money and
presents for enrolling men in the ma
val service, some of whom were physi-
cally defective and whose defects re-
quired waiver before enrolment.
OTHERS ARE IMPLICATED
"The total amount of money re-
ceived by him is believed to be $10,-
900, "a large percentage Of which was
passed onto one or more other officers
who were engaged with him in this
money-making scheme.
Lieut.. Ellert was on duty at the
headquarters Of the Third naval dis
trict. 280 Broadway, New York City.
as detail officer, and as such had
charge of the assignment to duty and
transfer of certain classes of enlisted
personnel of the naval reserve force. !"
"The evidence in the records shows
that Lieut. Ellert took advantage of
his position to collect money from
applicants AS a result those appli-
cants financially able, were favored
with enrolment in the desired ratings
and assignments to jobs in New York.
Payment was further made for the
purpose of securing assignment of
applicants to such duty as would en-
able them to continue their business
in civil life"
