EUROPEANS PREJUDlcED
AGAINST ARMY MULES

LONDON, Dec. 30-(Associaied
Press)-Owing to lack OF ships TO
bring them to England, 100000
horses and mules Of the British army
IN the eastern theaters of the war are
to be sold to the Arabs or destroyed.
That announcement has been ma Ae
by Major-General Sir w. H. Birkbeck,
Director Of Remounts. He had also
stated that, Of the British army's
total of $50, 900 horses in Europe, a
large number Of which were pur.
chased in the United States-only
those that are sound and under
twelve years old will ae shipped here.
About $4,000 war horses are to be
brought to England, and Belgium is
to have $4,000 for unconstitutional
work. General Birkbeck said: I'VE
want to distribute them all over the
country by big sales, in cities up to
100 animals, and to smaller towns up
to twenty-five. There is an unac-
countable prejudice against mules in
this country. At present we have in
England about 10000 mules many
Of which we want to sell, but people
don't seem inclined to buy them. The
mule is an economical animal which
does not eat so much as a horse, and
for every horse that goes sick, less
than half a mule is sick"

doubt as to the general sentiment in
Hawaii. AS practically everybody
wants the ONE to have the vote,
there is no reason for putting the Ter
ritory to the expense of an election
to decide the matter. All that is
necessary is for the legislature to pass
a bill. The Governor has already said
that he will sign it.
In order that women may vote at
the coming election, it is essential
that the bill be introduced and pass
ed early in the session. For, under
the present laws, all voters must have
their names on the Great Register. 1t
work to register the women of the
Territory. But if the bill is passed
early in the session, it a be done.
The acknowledgment of the women
will unquestionably have a good effect
on politics in Hawaii. The women
have always exhibited great interest
in politics, and it must be said that
their interest has generally been
more intelligent than that shown by
the men.
Politics will, it is probable, be con-
siderably cleaner when the women
vote than it is now. This has been
the experience in such states as have
given the vote to women. 1t should
be even more the case in Hawaii,
where the Hawaiian women have a
keener interest in politics than have
their white sisters of the mainland.
The women couldn't possibly do
worse with the vote than the men
have, if they tried. The male ele-
ment of the population of these Is
lands certainly has no reason for pat
ting itself on the back because of
it's political acumen. All we need to
do to realize that is to consider some
of the men elected to public office. If
the women don't get rid of some OF
the deadwood, it will be surprising.
1t behooves some of our politicians
to mend their ways and mix a little
common sense with their arguments,
They may be able to boomalimali the
men, as they have been doing these
many years, but they can't get by
with that stuff when the women WELD
the pencil in the voting booths. In
the past the main argument of an of
fee seeker has been what he was go
ing to do. In the future he's liable
to be asked what he has done, Cam
paign promises will have to be coin.

EUREKA, Cal, February 1-(By
Associated Press) Court action which
grew out of a domestic quarrel over
distribution Of property has just
been concluded here in a most unex-
pected manner. The parties to the
suit and the principal witness came
to Eureka from an isolated district
where no cases of influenza had been
reported. While the trial was being
held here the principals and the most
important witness became ill with the
influenza and died within a few days
of each other.

Why can't we get some of the Hilo

Hilo apparently doesn't believe in
letting justice cool her heels in the
corridors of the courts Of law. Trials
in that town are expeditions and re-
suits come quickly. Last week all
the supervisors were tried and con-
victed in two days. This week the
famous Warren case was disposed of
with equal expedition. Thursday Su-
~pervisor Cabrinha was tried. The
jury disagreed. Yesterday he was
tried again, and convicted, all in one
day. 1t might be well for the Homo
lulu judges and lawyers to run down
and breathe the air of Hilo for a
day or so.

When Milady Votes

1t is not too early for the woman
Of Hawaii to begin to size up the
political situation and pick out their
candidates for political Office, for in
all probability they will have the OPP
p~ortunity of voting at the next cleo
ton. That means that they will vote
in the municipal and county elections
of next June. So they had better
start in picking out their voting cos
tunes.
From present indications the COM
ing legislature will enfranchise the
women. So far as can be learned,
there is no opposition to giving them
the vote. Congress has already au
thorized the legislature to enact a
law enfranchising the women, or re
Gerring the matter, if it sees fit, to a
referendum vote of the people.
1t is not probable that the latter
course will be pursued, as there is NO

Reviving Industry
Big Problem In
RaviShed Belgium

BRUSSELS, Dec. 25-(Associated
Press)-Thus far 1t has been i'm
possible to estimate the extent Of
damage caused in Belgium by the
Germans or to fix, even approximate
ly, the amount of indemnity which
Belgium will demand from Germany.
In the majority of the factories
which the Belgians were allowed to
operate during German occupation,
the plant remains, but everywhere
all stocks of raw material have been
entirely removed.
In the other factories, which the
Belgians were not allowed to operate
there was a systematic removal of
all the machinery which was dis
mantled and sent to Germany. The
names of the German manufacturers
to whom the machinery was shipped
have been ascertained.
Belgian industrial circles seem to
be divided whether to attempt to re-
cover the stolen machinery from Ger
many, now necessarily worn, or to
buy new machines abroad and to
make the Germans pay for it.
The Belgian coal fields in the
regions of Mons, Charleroi and Liege
were operated by the Germans who
used Belgian coal as currency to
obtain from Holland provisions, cat
tie and horses. Thus, while the Bel
gian population suffered from cold,
coal rose in price to 400 or 500 francs
a ton and Belgians witnessed the
spectacle of workmen weakened by
privations forced to drag heavy carts
loaded with coal, taking the place of
the horses which the Germans had
stolen.
The industrial region of Charleroi
suffered heavily at the hands of the
Germans who destroyed the machines
which they did not take away and
removed all material of which they
could not make use. A great amount
of work will be necessary to clear up
the wreckage and even if the stolen
machinery OF its equivalent is obtain
ed it will be impossible to resume
production before the middle of next
year.
Nothing now remains of the estab-
lishment Thy-le-Chateau which an
nually turned out about 100000 tons
of steel. Sixty coke furnaces, four
blast furnaces, four cotton converters
and six sets of ~flattening machines
have been destroyed or sent beyond
the Rhine.
Some of the steam engines were
blown up and blast furnaces were de-
stroyed by cutting down the support
ing columns. The damage there
amounts to several millions of francs.
1t would be easier to enumerate
what the Germans have left than to
describe the ruin they have caused.

KING GREETS HERD
 IF TOP-O'-WORLD
 AUTOMOBILE RACE

Barcelona. Spain-It was in the grey of the dawn. Beside a little wayside shrine. a remnant of the middle ages. stood an aged priest in full vestments, a crucifiX uplifted in his hands. In the dusty road before him. two grime, covered men sat with bowed heads in a low -hgng. powerful. racing car.
 The priests lips moved in silent blessing as he stepped close to the car 10 allow each Of the occupants 10 kiss the crucifiX. Then he moved back ana, with a sullen roar. the great engine awoke. There was clash of gears. and the car vanished in a whrl of dust, it's exhaust echoing from the moun- tainside like the thunder Of battery of heavy artillery.
 Hardly had the din subsided when another car rolled up out of the mist. paused, and the ceremony was re- peated. Twelve times this happened. And. as the last car disappeared up the torturous roadway. it left the priest surrounded by little group of peas- ants. their brilliant hued headdresses offering a strange contrast to the somberness of the scene.
 For 1t was in the very heart of me dieval Spain, the sunny land of the crusades and the grandees and these representatives of a bygone age were paying tribute at the feet of supreme speed and endurance as exemplified in the finest creations of the foremost am tomobile engineers Of two continents.

|MOTOR TRUCK T0. CARRY NATIONS .CON|NC WORK OF
 CON SEDUCTION

That large amount of the recon struction work now under way or to be undertaken in the future will be- done by motor trucks is the prophecy of c. A. hissel. president of the Kissel Motor Car company.
 When changing our factory from regular production to war work, it was found necessary that steps be taken 10 insure prompt delivery of raw ma terials, parts and tools from other plants located at some distance. To make such deliveries regularly and on schedule time that would permit full efficiency of the factory, it was found impossible to depend either upon ex- press or freight service as furnished by the railroads. Motor trucks were pressed itno service for transportation of materials within a range of 90 to 50 miles.
 These trucks were equipped with large pneumatic tires in front and solid dual tires in the rear. The latter were used for the reason that pneu- matte tires of proper dimensions had not been developed at the time. These tires permitted speed better than that which could be obtained on solid tires, and the mileage secured was shown to be much better. After 10000 miles the pneumatic tires are still in good condition. The original castings are stlll in use and the spare tire fur nlshed with the truck has never been removed from its compartment. The rear tires were changed at about 7OO0 miles. )
 The truck used on this work hauled load of from to 1 tons in each di- rection every day. while the express service would require two or three days, with occasional delay and incon- Venience, when at a time the highest efficiency was essential. In addition 10 the delay, it was of course neces- sary to do extra hauling at each end of the route, making delivery 10 and from the express office.
 The cost of this transportation. after fighting all operating expenses and depreciation on the truck. ha, been shown tobe less than what it would have cost to make the same shipment by rrl
 This experiment wit hmotor trucks shoWS that express service within a distance of about 100 miles, can be more efficiently given by the truck than in an yother way
 Tt is reasonable to assume. there Tore, that in the work of reconstruc- ton and in resumjng peacetime com merce, the motor truck cannot be dis pensed with, but vii lhave proven is efficiency and economy so concIusive1y that this mode of transportation will De rapidly expanded in all lines of business
 There is little doubt that within the next few years practically all of the more important centers will be con nected by motor express and freight lines, making regular trips on definite schedule, with an established rate of transportation.
 It will not be long before the rural communities will be served bv motor trucks that will bring their produce 10 market and return merchandise to

REPUBLIC FACTORIES
 NOW ON PEACE BASIS

The problem of turning our fac tories to the manufacture of peace products is not nearly so serious as that which confronted us in covert tug from a peace to a war basis" says f. w.. Ruggles. president of the Re- public Motor Truck company. Alma, Mich.
 Our continuous production of Re public trucks throughout the war. on greatly restricted scale. of course. and the fact that our work for the gov ernmcnt was practically confined to the production of standard trucks. en- ables, us Co make the postwar tran sttion with little or no change in our manufacturing facilities.
 The elimination of government work from Plant one an important unit of the Republic factories. has permitted that plant to resume work exclusively on trucks for commercial use. The last big consignment of standard 3ta-ton Republic war trucks loft our factories just before the be- ginning or the new year. There are still a number of Republic trucks be- iu1 built under government specified tons at our military plant. These should be completed and ready for de- livery by the middle of next month. This will clear our decks entirely and enable us to put through our cxten- sivc production plans without inter ruptiou
 When the history of the motor truck industry is written the year just passed will probably be pointed uJt as tho year in which the motor truck came into its own.
 No one industry was more in the public eye during 1918. or the year pre- V.0us. than the motor truck industry. Given it's big opportunity by the world war and the consequent necessity for rettering transportation facilities, the motor truck immediately made good. And now even the most skepncal will readily concede that the field of motor truck usefulness has barely been scratched and that the new giant in- dustry is bound to grow to even sfeater proportions.
 And now, taking all things into consideration, believe that the year ahead Of US will be by far the biggest year we have ever known. Our sur Ncy of the commercial car business iu the leading conters of the country recently brought out tho fact that Re plhlc dealers. without exception, an- ticipate an increasing demand for trucks of all sizes or capacities. and that their business is going to depend almost entirely upon our ability to turn out as many Republic trucks as possible
 "The war has served 10 demonstrate as would be possible in no other way that the motor truck is an absolute nc ccssity to business and that for short hauls it IS more valuable than the rail roads.
 As an essential vehicle of commerce the motor truck has come into the foreground and will continue to be pressd into the business of America with increasing insistcnce until every highway from the Atlantic to the Pa etfic will be traversed with this will ius and capable bearer of burdens. g

INDIANAPO POLIS 5OO-MILE RACE IS THE DADDY
 IF THEM ALL ;

Indianapolis, Ind.-The indianapolis 500 mile race is now the "daddy-of 'em all" in the automobile racing world. With the passing of the Vanderbilt cup and the American grand prize trophy rom the competition the Hloosier classic becomes the veteran event. True. the Elgn trophy was raced for the year before the Indianapolis speed way started its five centuries but the race has changed so that it can not be said that it is the same event.
 Back in 1910 President Carl C. Fisher saw Inc handwriting on the wall for the stock ear race and formulated his plans to run thc greatest and longest track race In history II was for 500 miles lt was the largest cash purse ever offered and today it's S3d.00n lure is stil the largest amount of cash put n for the speed kings Co battle for and u the six years of 5Q0-mile events the track will have paid the winning driver S215.000 in cash and they have raced for half that amount in special prizes and trophies.
 The .ocal race was elevated to first place by the recent decision of William R. Vanderbilt as head Of the Motor Cups Holding association to withdraw thc two road races from competition. The west coast and several promoters and cities that desired co stage the road contests for the two trophies were f'atly turned down as the donor of the Vanderbilt cup held that since the trophies left their native heaths the events had deteriorated and he even threatened 10 take ship for Europe ana drop the Vanderbilt cup into the sea in mid Atlantic. The last time the Vanderbilt was held on the Long fs- land course where it had its inception Was in 1910 and the grand prize has not been put on since 1911 at Savan- nah. In the interim the two events and trophies have been the football ol the automobile race promoter
 The fact that Indianapolis made speedway racing a major league sport has had much to do with keeping the speed game alive. Also the local tracS has kept tho standard of its races up ts, par drawn the largest gate of the sea son every year and put up enough cash to make it a race worth while for the driver to spend monev ~ctting his car ready. In addition to having the vet efan event Indianapolis has the onN speedway in America that was in ex- -1stence decade ago proving Darwins bot theory of the survival of the flt- Jest"

the premier event of the year in all Spanish motordom, was being run With the sun not vet in sight T. great, speed creations were hurling theu- selves along the treacherous. winding road, through dangerous mist, toward Spains top-o'-the- world-the Clou0- capped peak of Partridge mountain.
 Breathlessly the little group or men and women at the foot of the shrine waited. 0eering intently upward to where the rising sun was painting the top of the mountain dusky. blood -red. A man at a roadside telephone turned. Jose is out. Car went over on a turn. Mechanician killed" he cried, with sob in his voice, for Jose who drove q high powered Italian car, was a popu- lar favorite with the villagers
 Silently the seconds passed. and, be- fore the contest was half finished. only five cars were left. the others beins strewn in splintered heaps of wreck age along the treacherous road.
