PROBLEMS INVOLVED IN
RAILWAY OPERATION AGAIN
BRING HIGHWAYS FORWARD
National System, Co-ordinated With State and County
Lines, Urged as Necessary to Transportation Service

Washington, d. c., Aug. %. -
The possibility of another period of
more bringing the public highway
to the front.
While it is admitted that the
railways must necessarily form the
Nations long distance transporta-
ton lines, the auxiliary power of
the public road, through the de-
velopment of the gasoline engine
and the motor vehicle, is receiving
thoughtful attention in official cir
cles.
Public discussion of high cost
problems and the railway situation
ran into the country road at two
points during the past few days.
The first point touched was that
the public highway is a potential
short haul freight and express line,
and that with a National system of
improved roads. intersecting each
state north, south ,east and west,
there will thus be constructed the
basis of a comprehensive, Nation
wide system of traffic arteries with
which state and county systems may
connect. With such a system pro-
vided the development of freight
and express transportation is antici-
pated far beyond comprehension.
Its advocates assert that the motor
truck as I. appears on the public
highway to-day is but an infant
compared 20 what it will be, once
the public roads are built to permit
its enlarged use.
Those who doubt the possibilities
of the highway freight and express
as factors in the reduction and
stabilizing of food costs are told to
look back over the development of
the railway and note that the be-
ginning was upon a basis far less
promising as q practical proposition
than the basis upon which the gas
oline driven vehicle stands to-day.
Dropping back to the point of
short haul delivery, attention is be-
ing called to the fact that the radius
of highway shipping is being grad
ually extended as modern roads are
being built. Advocates of a Ma
tional highway system. the crea-
tion of which is provided for in the
Townsend bill now pending in Con-
>gress, have encountered the argu-
ment that approximately fifty miles

CHAPTER VIII lcontlnued)


An amusing incident occurred In
Lieutenant Bakers platoon during the
battle The men We're advancing tc
the attack perhaps a couple of hun.
dred yards from the Germans. They
were moving forward in squad col.
Cn,ns as they we're going through q

enemy was firing en- them with its ar
tillery Suddenly Paxter heard rifle
fire behind him. He wheeled around
and saw that rabbit had jumped up
in front of the lief. of the platoon and
the men were firing at 1t.
The worst strain of the battle came
during the last two days, when cas-
ualties had been so heavy as to take
off many of the field officers and
most of the company commanders,
when the remnants of the regiments
pressed forward and captured Berry
lessee and the railroad. 1t is always
more difficult for the juniors in a
battle like this. for they generally do
not know what is at stake. Gen.
Frank Parker told me how during the
fourth day, when battalions of 500
men had shrunk to 100 and 1t looked
as if the division would be wiped out
and even he was wondering whether

lie had previously commanded the
artillery of the division. The division
always regarded him as their own par
ticular general. He was known by the
nickname of Sitting Bull" He is. in
my opinion, one Of the few really great
troop leaders developed by us during
the war. At this battle General sum
neral is reported to have made a
statement which was often quoted in
the division. Some staff officer from
the corps had asked him If. after the
very heavy casualties we had received,
We were capable OF making anothe at

First division has only two men left
they will be echeloned in depth and

were meeting the same type of work
and suffering the same losses. No
finer fighting units existed than these
two. A very real compliment that was
paid the Second division was the fact
that the rank and file of our division
was always glad when circumstances
ordained that the division should
fight side by side. I have often heard
the Junior officers discussing it.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

< Chicago Sept. 6.-Unoertainty as to
the character of the government crop
report to be issued on Monday had a
tendency to make the corn market to-
day unstable. Fluctuations, however,
although irregular and numerous,
were not wide. The close was ner-
ivous, varying from Y net lower to
2Rc advance. with September $l.64
to $1.G4A and December $1.31% to
i$131 70. Oats finished &c to &c
higher and provisions at &c decline to
a rise of $1.75.
Notwithstanding that private re-
ports have suggested but little change
in the crop outlook during August,
traders on both sides of the corn mar
ket were disposed to avoid any chance
of a surprise in the governments new
figures. Besides, sentiment was much
mixed as to whether corn would go
further in an approach to pre-war
levels unless accompanied to a greater
extent by other commodities than has
been the case of late. Bulls took the
position that the answer would depend
chiefly on the farmers and would be

ing used to make a surprise attack.
The troops bivouacked in the woods,
keeping under cover during the day.
The battle was a fierce one. During
the first day the Americans made a
clean break through, but the lack of
training showed and they were una
bic to exploit their success properly.
The various units became dislocated
and orders could not be transmitted.
The men were gallant, but gallantry
is no use when you - not get orders.
Supplies did not come up also. AS a
result the Germans were able to gath
er themselves and what might have
been q rout became a fierce rear
guard action which lasted for more
than a month.

HARMON HEADS EPOCH
 MAKING G00C ROADS. TRIP IN M|CH|GAN


 The East Michigan Pike Tour from Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie and return was completed Tuesday evening, July l5, led by the official Marmon 34, with w. D. Eddie" Edenburn manager of the tour. The "A cars and four-score and ten tourists rolled into Detroit after an HOO mile good roads promo tion tour which will go down in auto mobile history as one of the most sue cessful pilgrimages of the decade. Four years ago, when this Detroit to the "Soo" tour was first started, there were miles of almost impossible sand, corduroy roads through the jackpine regions from Saginaw on to the straits, and thence across from St. Ignace to Sault Ste. Marie.
 Now it is vastly different, as this fourth tour demonstrated Miles after miles of good roads have. been com pleted, scores of miles ai'eunder con- struction, and the only stretches of trail through the sAld plains and the woods which remain can be. negoti- ated by any good car if the driver takes his time. The pneumatic tired trucks which accompanied the tour, carrying baggage. huge tent. cots and other paraphernalia, fully dem- onstrated this.
 Quite the most interesting work
Arizona republican., 1919-08-03

done by any car was carried out by the official Marmon. As tour manager, MT. Edenburg checked out the cars each morning and then completed the tour buSniess, which sometimes con- sumed an extra hour while the official car waited patiently. knowing it could eat up the space and catch the tour In time for luncheon. At the noon con- trol the official car generally preceded the tour and beat the party to the night control by an extra hour in or der to complete hotel arrangements for the large party.
 Incidentally, during the run of Wednesday, July g. the tourists passed through half a mile of forest fire without damage except to nerves and throats, for the smoke was heavy and exceedingly hot. Sault Ste. Marie was reached the afternoon of July 10 after a record breaking run from Pickford, where luncheon had been served, and the tourists were there beguiled by the hospitable inhabitants of the two Soos to stay until Saturday morn Ing. The return journey was via St. lgnace, Topinabe Woods Ranch (near Grayllng) and Bay City. Thirteen fac tories and motor car dealers contrib uted cars, men sand expenses to the trip in the interests of better roads for Michigan, setting an example for other states which still need good roads.

cup with but little effort on the part of the lady tourist If it is desired to use the canteen to put water in the radiator of the car, it is the matter of an instant to unfasten it.
 Either in camp or on the road the new vacuum bottle or a canteen with water is a decided convenience, and motorists are showing a decided pref erence for the water bottle, according to J. A. Shaulis, manager of the Phoenix branch of the Western Auto Supply agency.
 Another handy accessory carried by the big accessory house consists of an auto washer much handler than a sponge, with hollow handle which is attached direct to the end of the hose. You have a constant flow of water in the form of spray, and it is only the work of a few minutes to thoroughly clean the surface of the entire car through the combination of the clean ing action of the soft cleaner and the running water,
 Water should not be allowed to strike thes urface of the car too fore ibly, The design of the auto washer insures that this will not be possible when it is properly used. Its use makes it very easy to remove mud or deep dust by simply going over the car once.
 Motorists who have tried this wash CT are extremely enthusiastic over it. Washing 8 car is not a job that most motorists are especially fond of, and a device that makes it quicker and easier to do is very certain to find ready ap- proval."

HUDSON SUFFERS ARE
 STRONG WITH RACERS

One of the most famous and daring racing drivers in the United States owns and uses Hudson Super Six al- though he is paid to drive another make of car in all his speedway con- tests.
 Asked for an explanation by a Hud- son owner who commented on the dis crepancy, he answered frankly: If the
 --factory will give me a car for my own use, will drive it. But when l am spending my own hard earned money. l want the most for it that I can get. Therefore when I am not rac- ing 1 drive a Hudson
 Racing drivers generally are the keenest judges of motor car value to be found anywhere Ii is their busi- ness to know motors as their lives often depend on this knowledke. It is a significant fact, therefore. that a great majority of the men who make their living on the speedways own and drive Hudsons regardless of the cars they use in races. And all of them thought so highly of it's power and en- durance that they paid the regular list price just like any other owner.
 The general popularity of the Hud- son has resulted in a demand that has always exceeded production and this year the shortage is greater than ever before. Orders are being filled in the same sequence as they are received so the only way to avoid possible disap- continent in delivery is to act now.
