GERMAN TROOPS AND
CIVILIANS CLASH
Americans at CobIenz Think Trouble
Grows Out of Shortage of
Food


Coblenz, July z7.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press. Throughout Germany
there has been a renewal recently of
clashes between troops of Gustav Noske,
secretary of military affairs, and civil
ians, but just what has caused the dis
turbances is not clear in dispatches pub
lished in German newspapers. American
army officers, however, believe it quite
possible that the manifestations are due
to the food shortage, the relocation of
Nosks troops and the subsequent appear
ance of strange troops n-many cities.
In Celle, Hanover, there has been
trouble for more than week, at times the
manifestations amounting almost to riots
over the appearance of Jaeger battalion
which arrived recently from the eastern
front. The citizens contended that this
battalion had eaten too much of the
citys food supply. In Heilbronn. Wuert-
temburg, individual soldiers have been at
tackled and beaten by civilians at night
and their insignia stolen Disturbances
between Insterburg, West Prussia, citi-
zens and soldiers of the First Jaeger n,

state that the civil authorities have made

Airplane Nearly Brings
Together Motor Pioneers
Elmer Apperson Makes Successful Flight at Kokomo
Builder of First Mechanically Successful Motor
Car Enthusiastic Over Aviation

Apperson and Haynes-two of the
most famous names in the history of
American motoring were nearly
brought together again. as the result
of an aeroplane flight at Kokomo, In
diana, recently.
Back in 1893, these two pioneers in
motoring workedtside by side to pro-
duce the first Haynes-Apperson.
This is generally recognized to be
the first mechanically successful gaso-
line automobile in America, If not the
world 1t was built by the hands of
Elmer and Edgar Apperson.
1t rests today in the Smithsonian in
stitute in Washington. D. c., momu-
ment to the vision and energy of those
two Kokomo boys who created this
remarkable mechanism while still in
their early twenties.
The success of this first model led to
others and soon the Haynes Apperson
became one of the best known and
most highly respected motor mechan-
isms in America. Then came the break
that led to the formation of separate
manufacturing organizations.
Friends of both men recently learned
with pleasure of the intended aero
plane flight of these men in planes pro-
vided by the Kokomo Aviation Co.
That the initial air flight of both
men should be undertaken at the same

MEXICAN LYNCHED
FOR HIS SACRILEGE

Mexico City, July 26.-Details of the
lynching of Juan Galvan, a prominent
resident of the village of Zaragoza in
the state of San Luis Potosi, have Just
been received in the capital and Ell Dem
ocrata, In publishing the story, declares
this is the first instance of lynchine
recorded in Mexico.
Galvan was publicly accused by the
pastor of a church in zaragoza of be-
ing the person who robbed the image
of a virgin in one of the churches of
gold and jewels valued at 10000 pesos.
The words of the curate inflamed his
hearers, who dragged Galvan from his
home, built a funeral pyre and upon it
tortured the unfortunate man until he
died. The curate has been detained by
the authorities as the author of the
crime

time seemed appropriate to those who
realized so we'll the wonderful work in
which Elmer Apperson and Elwood
Haynes collaborated.
Individual planes had been provided
and an interesting flight was taken
over the city of Kokomo and the sur
rounding country
While misunderstanding of the ar
rangements resulted in Mr.. Apperson
going up alone, the effort to bring to-
gether these giant figures of the auto
mobile world has not failed of its eff
feet. Mrs. Elmer Apperson went up in
the plane reserved for Mr.. Haynes so
that Mr.. Apperson and his wife were in
the air at the same time
The incident is valuable reminder
OF the part Apperson and Haynes play
ed in the early history Of the automo-
bile. Their influence will be found in
the mechanism of the best cars built as

TALKS ON ECONOMY
Suggests Society for Pre-
vention of Cruelty to
Motor Trucks

We have societies for the pre-
ention of cruelty to old Dobbin
nd the old gray mare, but who ever
aought of a society for the proven
Jon OF cruelty to motor trucks!
Well. that is just what is suggested
by Alfred T. Masury. chief engineer
of the International Motor company,
manufacturer of Mack trucks
J Just because a truck can't feel is
o reason why it should not be han
lied with care" argued Mr. Masury
with sympathetic fervor for the much
bused. misused motor truck.
The economy and efficiency of ma
hinery lies in the way it is handled
nd treated. We need a society for
he prevention sof cruelty to our mod
rn iron horses which feed on gaso-
ine,e just as we did for the old con-
tuners of hay and grain.
Trucks need one kind of care in
lot weather and another kind in cold
weather.
Straw hats are put on horses to
protect them from the excessive heat
of summer; but very often drivers will
forget to see that there is sufficient
water in the radiator and enough oil
m the oiling system to lubricate tae
various bearing surfaces.
TN winter horses are sheltered from
I he cold in stables and given an extra
amount Of bedding, but very often a
truck will be allowed to stand over
night without the water being fully
drained from the radiator
If the horse is neglected, the animal
suffers pain, and our humane societies
see to it that 1t is stopped But If the
truck is mistreated it feels no pain
and no one gives it any sympathy.
The owner gets a severe pinch in his
pursc and may hold up his right hand
and swear Never again But that is
a bout as far as it goes. Users in gem
aral go on year after year, paying out
