SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July
12.-Plans are being laid by T. De
Witt Foster, secretary of the Utah
State Automobile association, and
j. David Larson, secretary of the
Commercial club and state consul
for the Lincoln Highway associa-
ton, for "A big celebration at the
time of the dedication of the Good
year and Fisher sections of the Lin
coin highway west of here.
July "a, Pioneer Day" and a
state holiday, has been selected as a
fitting date for the ceremony Of
dedication of the famous Good
year desert cutoff and the noun
tain pass road named after Carl G..
Fisher. vice president of the Lin
coin Highway association, which
leads the Lincoln way down to the
edge Of the desert. Ira X. Brown
ing, state highway engineer. has
given assurance that both sections
will be completed and the improve
ment of the connecting links be-
tween the pass and the edge Of the
desert finished. However, no traffic
will be allowed over either section
until the routes have been officially
opened on the gath.
Both Gov. Bamberger of Utah,
whose interest was so largely re-
sponsible for the cooperation of the
state in securing these important
Improvements on the Lincoln way.
and Gov. Boyle of Nebraska will
take part in the ceremonies plan
ned. Many of the foremost high
way engineers of the country as well
as the officials of the Lincoln High
way association and many of the
eastern and middle west consuls
will be present at the desert for the
dedication ceremonies.
The dedication Of the sections and
the opening of the cutoff Will pre-
cede the arrival of the L. :. army
motor convoy which will be the
first important trans-continental
caravan to make use of the cutoff
road across the Great American
desert. In fact. the completion of
the cutoff was largely responsible
for the selection OF the Lincoln
highway as the route for the trans
continental motor convoy.

LONDON. July 12.-.The automo-

Der of Commerce in London has

ing the import restrictions on Amer

not entirely removed. At present
the importation OF motor vehicles
ard parts thereon is limited 10 so
percent Of the 1913 imports up TO
Sept. 1, 1919. in proportiopate
monthly quantities
Sir Auckland Geddes. president OF
the board of trade. informed the au-
tOmobile importers that no increase
in imports could be allowed at pres
ent owing to the necessity of guard
ing the future Of sterling exchange
on America.
Sir Auckland said that the board of
trade could not consider any one
trade or industry by itself, but must
look at everything with a view 10 the
best interests Of the nation. From
this point of view the matter of
maintaining Great Britain's financial
position and therefore the position
OF her eXchapg yes was the essential
consideration.
The American chamber of COM
merce here announces. however that
the government has promised to re-
view the entire import and export
position on Sept. l, and that the
board of trade has agreed to a con-
cession in favor of importers not
represented in 1914. but who nave
