ace to accommodate all of the accessory
exhibitors desiring space. Because OF
the fact that this season cars are To be
shown in both Madison Square Garden
and the Sixty-ninth Regiment Armory,
cars and chassis will not be exhibited
in the balconies, leaving all of this space
available for accessory exhibits, much
greater area than ever before.
In Two Buildings mt Once.
This holds true OF both weeks of the
double header" show--the first for pas
senger vehicles and accessories pertain
ing to them, and the second week for the
commercial car section, with an array of
accessories and parts applicable to motor
trucks, tractors and other buildings sim
ultaneously, single admission ticket be-
ing good for both Garden and armory.
The work of preparing the Garden and
armory for the mammoth exposition Is
no easy task The decorative scheme OF
each building Is to be elaborate and
beautiful. and in addition to that con-
siderable construction work has been
necessary. It was found necessary TO
rip up the old flooring and replace 1t with
1000 square feet of two inch OAR
planks owing to the fact that the
trucks TO be shown the second week are
of such great weight. 1t was not con-
sidered appropriate to use the old plank
ing The balconies likewise are TO have
new floors. and these, like the main
arena floor. will be carpeted
Very little accessory space remains
available for either week of the show.
and both buildings will be filled by the
time the doors open. An interesting
feature of the second week. when the
| commercial vehicles are to be displayed,
is the large number of tractors and trail
ers to be exhibited. Some OF these are
securing space which. as originally
planned, was to have been used by &C
cessory exhibitors during the second
week, and arrangements We're made the
last week to have accessories displayed
in the armory as we'll as in the Garden
during the first week of the show only.
The second week of the exposition all
of the accessories will be displayed In
the Garden only, providing more room
for tractor and trailer devices in the
Armory. 4 large percentage of the eX-
hibitors OF both cars, accessories and
commercial vehicles are new concerns.

RIPE FOR SELF CONTROL
PHILIPPINES SHOULD BE IN
RI HANDS Of NATIVES
View Of Captain SebaId, Who
Has Lately Come From
Islands

New Ulm, May Captain Max
Sebald in New Ulm, having arrived
here recently from the Philippines
The Philippines have been the home
of Captain Sebald for more than
twenty years, this long period giving
him a wide knowledge in Philippine
affairs. He sbeaks freely about the
conditions there, stating that com.
mercially and economically the Is
lands have gained very much during
the war. The market for home prod
ucts grew from month TO month and
new industries came into existence
One of them was the winning ol
charcoal from cocoa nut crust, neces
stating the erection of enormous
plants. Hemp, the chief product Of
the country, brought better prices
than ever.
The only set back noticeable was
a little short owing TO the shortage
,of shipping facilities the world over
Plenty of Food.
The richness of the sugar crop ant
the proximity of the Chinese whea
and meat markets made it necessar!
to apply the food administration re
striction with regard TO the use o.
sugar, flour and beef to the Island
Sugar had to be used in unrefinet
form since il was impossible to sent
il to the refinerieS in China, the
Philippines having no refineries o.
their own.
Otherwise the war but little affect
ed the Philippines says Captain Sc
bald, although some enlistments were
made and part of the United States
troops removed. The twenty seventh
and thirty first regiments were sem
to Siberia in August 1918. About s.
900 native scouts We're inducted in.
Ito the army to take their places. Be-
sides, there remained one American
negro regiment of cavalry and 2,00(
coast artillery men in the Islands
These together with the other native
forces consisting of five regiments oi
infantry, one regiment Of field artil-
lery, one field signal battalion ant
one battalion of engineers made W
the military forces of the country. Al
these native forces were officereC
by Americans, with the exception Of
few native gradually from West
Point. The two regiments sent t.
Siberia were still there. when the
captain left the Philippines. -. :.
Should Be Given Independence.
It is the opinion of Captain Sc.
bald that the population of the Phil
ippines are capable of self f-govern,
ment In this he shares the view o.
Governor Harrison who at present
alsaus.esn the United States. There
may Dc some need of holding the
restless elements of the southern is
land of Mindanao and Jolo in check
he said, but this can easily be done
by the military establishment of ma
tives in the Islands now being or
ganized.
On Saturday Captain Seba.d wa:
surprised by telegram from the Wa,
Department at Washington stAtins
that it has been found necessar.> tt

was granted him by his superior of
