boshevs propaganda is being spread in this country
by Mexican agents is quite possible that he can do
this and be technically within the mark. This propa-

might very easily resort to the system which made it
possible in the case of Germanys ambassador Bernstor
also to say that he was not doing anything that would

Between New Brunswick and
Trenton Work Will Go
On i'm 1910

The New Jersey State Highway En-
glneer advises that all motor traffic
bound between New Brunswick and
Trenton or points south should avoid
the Lincoln Highway between New
Brunswick and Trenton and travel the
road from New Brunswick to Nights
town to Windsor to Robbinsvillc to
Mercerville to Trenton, as this is tnow,
and will be during the winter, the best
route for all traffic. in view Of work in
progress on the Highway.
The Lincoln Highway between New
Brunswick and Trenton will be under
construction during the entire season
OF 1919, as the State Highway Depart
ment has contracted for four miles in
addition to that now under construc.
ton, and will contract for the remain
ing four miles as soon as the govern
ment's restrictions are entirely re-
moved and proper arrangements can be
made to let the contract.
The total cost of construction be-
tween New Brunswick and Trenton will
amount to S235,000, and the construc-
ton is of concrete. This will COM

Highway in the State of New Jersey.

Space for Cars and Aces
series About All
Taken

Pleasantly surprising its promoters,
the nineteenth annual New York Auto
mobile Show, scheduled for February
to 10, is exceeding the fondest hopes
as regards magnitude Originally it
was planned to hold the passenger car
exhibit the week Of February l to in
both Madison Square Garden and the
SiXty-ninth Regiment Armory and the
commercial division was to have
been held in the Garden only during
the following week.
However, the demand for space for
the commercial vehicle section has
been so great during the past few days
that the Automobile Dealers Associa-
tlon, under whose auspices the show is
being held, have decided to use both
the Garden and the armory for the
motor truck exhibit. Applications for
space for the passenger car section
continue to reach the committee. About
ell the passenger car space already has
been allotted. Accessory spaces arc
being snapped up rapidly, and every
sign indicates big, prosperous, bet
tcr-than ever year.
Drawing for space for the CONNER
cha. vehicle section, February 10 to Is,
took place yesterday at the Automobile
Club of America. This commercial
vehicle section not only includes motor
trucks Of the standard type, but also
everything in use commercially, from
taxlcabs and very light delivery wagons
to tractors, trailers. and heavy dray-
age and caterpillar tractor machinery.
