u. S. SOLDIERS TORE
DOWN RUSSIAN FLAG
Complaint Is Made to Gen.
Graves, Who Orders Inquiry.
BY the Associated Press.

1RKUrsK, March ~ (delayed). - An
American soldier 10 alleged TO have torn
Russian flag from the rear platform
OF special train bearing Gen. Diedrichs,
commander of the Czorho-S lovak forces
in Siberia, and Col. Romanovsky, an
antl-Bolshevik leader In the Udlnsk
district, when It was passing through
the village of Polka, near Buchedu,
Manchuria. officers on the train ex-
pressed Indignation over the incident
when the train reached here to-day
British, Russian and Japanese flags
were shown on the rear platform of the
train, which had stopped at Pelka.
When the train was pulling out and had
gained some Roadway, an American SOL
dier from westbound troop train
which had been sidetracked Is said to
have swung up on the platform and. with
some difficulty, torn the Russian flag
from It's fastenings. A guard inside the
car saw the occurrence. II Is said, but
not soon enough to prevent It.
The officers were especially irritated.
since this was the second unpleasant in
cident in which American soldiers have
figured recently. Three days before the
alleged tearing down OF the flag several
Americans from troop train waiting on
a siding at Mulin station, Manchuria,
hicu " podu tHo bdIn6 cptCldl tIdin III
spite Of the platform guard. The latter
pushed one of the Americans from the
car, whereupon he and his companions
secured arms and. returning. demanded
that the guard be turned over to them,
according to the officers. Several cars
filled with cadets from the vladivostok
Military School were attached to tho
special and they likewise armed them
selves. What promised to be a serious
situation was relieved when the COM
mander of the cadets ordered the train
to start.
Reports Of tho Incidents have been
sent to Major-Gen. William 5. Graves,
commander of American Expeditionary
Forces In Siberia. by Col Romanovsky.
The latter informed Gen. Graves that
the men were intoxicated, and added:
II regret the lack of discipline in these
troops, which increases the animosity OF
Russians toward Americans"
He said the first incident was attrib-
uta BILE to American troops whose train
had passed the special at Hardin. and
that the second was due to the feeling
growing out of the trouble at Mulin. and
was carried out without consideration
for the gravity OF the act" He added
that the conduct OF American officers
had been above reproach, but that the
men seemed to be uncomfortable"
Gen. Graves has telegraphed to Col
Romanovsky expressing his regret He
said an investigation had been ordered
and that the guilty persons will be Sc
verely punished.

LATE DELIVERY
 ON JORDAN CARS Prospective Owners Willing to Wait Sixty Days for
 New Models

One million people who would gladly buy an automobile today will have to wait 50 to 90 days before they can get one delivered. This is the estimate which Edward s. Jordan, president of the Jor- dan Motor Car company, makes in a statement he is sending to Jordan dis tributors.
 In considering production and sales possibilities for motor cars throughout America, MT Jordan also sees a demand coming in the spring of 1920 that will ecl1pse any yet known in the automobile industry. His conclusions are based on figures of significance to automobile manufacturers and the motoring public
 We estimate that the present produc- tion is one million cars short of the pub lie demand says MT. Jordan ~s'In the first quarter of 1919, 115 leading manu- lecturers produced only 173, 900 cars, while in the last complete production year. 1917, there were built and sold 18Oo.00 cars.

It has become an eco- romic necessity that our roads be i'm proved because good roads influence every branch and twig of the social. economic and financial structure of the nation. Good roads save labor, poor roads spend 1t A community with good roads has an unlimited trade area while a com- munity with poor roads has limited trade area.
 The last two years when the nation s roads were made to bear up under a doubled and trebled load we had brought home to us the result of neglectng their Improvement. Last winter and spring during the season of the year when roads suffered the most fDom winter rains motor trucks were stalled, maybe wreck ed, or at least tied up or slowed up In maintaining the transportation sched- ules business demanded to keep pace with production and with the demands of GUS tcmers. If these same roads had been improved, motor trucks could have easily maintained their schedules
 Summer is here, the time of the year when the roads are at their best, and when we are most apt to forget that summer roads are not all-year-around roads, that soon again they will become beds of mud holes and ruts, begbears of overland transportation, the real cause of premature wear on your motor trucks, increasing maintenance, descreasing schedules, making you miss shipping dates, making your drivers spend two hours on route that could be covered in one, unless they are improved before winter weather sets in.
