Victor Hugo's Prophecy OF
1880 Which Excited Great
Comment When 1t Appeared

In 1880 Victor Hugo, who was then
in Paris, wrote the following remark
able words, which appeared in the
French newspapers at that time and
excited considerable comment. 1t
was then not thought likely that his
vision would in any way be realized,
at least for a long time to come, as
it was then not SO many years after
the Franco-Prussian war. In his usual
mastery style he wrote:
'Then France will suddenly arouse
herself. She will become formidable.
She will regain Alsace-Lorraine. Is
it enough? No! no! She will cap
ture-listen-Treves, Mainz, Cologne,
Coblenz. And We shah hear France
cry: The clock strikes my hour.
Germany, hear me! Am l thine en-
envy? No, l am thy sister. / have
taken all from thee, / return all to
thee upon n condition; that we
shall no longer be a divided people
that we shall be one united family,
one republic. / will demolish my fort
resses, thou thine-my vendetta is
brotherhood. No more frontier. The
Rhine, mine and thine.
"We shall be the liberty Of Europe.
And now let us clasp hands, for we
have rendered each a reciprocated
service. Thou hast freed me from
my emperor. / will free thee from
thine"

Wars Effect on Automobile Industry
Passenger Car Production Of 1918 Only 60 Per Cent of That
Of l9!7-Tuck Production Increased
20 Per Cent

Because of its Importance in what has been termed a "war of mo-
tors"-under the sea, on land, and in the air-the automobile industry
has suffered substantially in the making of its normal product, according
to Alfred Reeves, general manager of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce. Passenger-car makers in some instances we're almost
entirely engaged on war materials when the armisice was signed and have
had some difficulty in getting back to a peace basis. Contracts taken were
not alone for cars and trucks but for guns, mine anchors, helmets, field
kitchens, airplane motors, tanks, tractors, shells, depth bombs, and similar
material which could be made by the modern equipment of the motorcar
plants.
Passengercar production was almost 100000 cars short of 1917
being only 60 per cent of that year, while truck production increased from
80 157 to 219,O56, or 70 per cent. Automobile manufacturers are now
returning to normal production, but it will take some months. This
years production of passenger cars may not even reach the 1917 mark.
The scheduled production of commercial vehicles for 1919 is 100000.
The following figures are interesting in showing the wars effect on
automobile making; the third largest manufacturing industry in this
country:

Commission contain men hostile to the
Government and American institutions

anarchists, .pro-Germans, admirers of
Lenine and Trotsky and avowed ex-
oonents of Soviet Government"
