S,-- SSP"-- o'--1 lCiu1CI
Lloyd George of Great Britain has
replied in the negative to the mes
sage of Mayor Hylan of New York
City urging. the premier to release
Lord Mayor MacSwiney Of Cork
from prison. The premier in his dis
patch yesterday stated politely but
firmly that he could not interfere
with the course of justice and law.
London, Sept. 5.-RelyIng to the
Labor party's appeal in behalf of
Lord Mayor MacSwiney, Mr.. Bonar
Law the government leader, ad-
dressed a, long letter, dated Down
ing street today, to the effect that
the governments position was made
clear in the premier's statement Of
August rs, to which there was little
to add. -
Mr.. Bonar Law proceeds to state
that MacSwiney was one 0of the
leaders of the Irish republican army
which declared itself at war with
the forces of the crown, and accord
ing to his own written words in one
of the seditious documents for
which he was convicted, he and his
followers had determined to pursue
their own ends, asking mo mercy
and making no compromise.
Had he been taken at his word
and dealt with as an avowed rebel,
according to the universal practice
among civilized nations, says Mr..
Bonar Law, he would have been
liable to be shot. Instead, he was
tried by a legally constituted tribu-
nal, sentenced to moderate term
of imprisonment and given all the
privileges Of political prison.
ITO release such prisoners" as
iserts Mr.. Bonar Law, would be
nothing short of betrayal of loyal
officers on whose devotion to duty
the fabric of social order in Ireland
rests"
Since MacSwiney's arrest, it is
Ipointed out in the letter, Is officers
have been brutally and treachorous-
!ly done to death without any chance
of defending themselves. -
Surely" continues the letter.
The sympathy extended to the
ord mayor whose condition is due
to his own deliberate act, is due
rather to the bereaved widows and
families of the murdered +. Irish po7
licemen. The government fully
realizes how large a part sentiment
plays in all human affairs, and if it
were possible it would gladly have
taken the attitude of the English
king, who said of an opponent:
"He is determined to make him.
self a martyr land I am equally de-
termined to prevent it."
Mr.. Bonar Law declares in con-
clusion that the government can not
take course involving the COM
plete breakdown Of the machinery
of law and government and that if
the lord mayor dies in prison the
responsibility will rest in a degree
upon these who by their repeated
appeals have encouraged the belief
that the government would prove
insecure in it's determination.

Packard Schools Teach
Drivers Care Of Trucks

The cost OF truck transportation
can be greatly reduced by teaching
drivers and owners how to drive
md maintain their truck equipment.
This fact has been proved by the
Packard schools for instruction in
truck operation. These schools.
which are conducted by Packard
distributors throughout the country.
have turned out several thousand
graduates, with the result that both
the men and their trucks have given
more efficient service.
There are no enrolment fees for
the instruction course, the hours
are so arranged as not 10 interfere
with the work of the chauffeurs,
and there are no tiresome lessons
or studies to prepare. Special stress
is laid on making the minor adjust
ments that keep the truck In best
running form, on detecting and cor
recting little troubles before they
become big.

the result that they are getting in

obtained to a really valuable degree.
Some motor truck installations have,

time for the truck or for the men who
do the loading.
Coal is handled by this manufac-
turer in the same way with the same
trailers which are fitted with spe-
cial removable floors for this work.
And that is not all. Formerly the
truck made two trips a week to de-
liver piano bodies at point forty
miles from the plant Now, one
trip a week is made with double
load, half in the truck and half in
one of the trailers.

Packard Makes Record
In 6,230-Mle Shipment

What Is claimed to be a new long
distance selling record was estab-
lished when the Packard Motor
Car Company of Pittsburg shipped
a four and one-half ton truck to
the Island OF Guam. The truck,
however. was purchased by the
Pittsburg-Des Moines Bridge Com
psny. which has a government con-
tract on th;u island.
Guam lies $3.50 miles west Of San
Francisco, and is thirty miles long
by six miles wide. The nearest SER
vice station is Honolulu or Japan,

others, which have previously been
loaded. When the trucks return the
empty trailers are changed for full
ones in eight minutes and on the
trucks go again.
And saving loading time is not
all that the semi trailer accom-
plishes. Another important advan-
tage is that with any truck. loads
can. be doubled and in most cases
trebled. A one-ton truck will han
die two to direction semi-trailer,
a five-ton truck will handle one OF
from ten to fifteen tons capacity.

ARTISTIC SETTING ARRANGED
FOR GRAND CENTRAL EXHIBITS
New Interest in Passenger Cars Is Spurred by
knowledge Gained in War-Prices
Range High AS $1,000.

New York, Jan. Sit was a dra-
matte moment when the great en-
trance of thesGrand Central Palace
was thrown open yesterday after
noon to admit the public to the
four-foor display of the greatest
national passenger automobile show
in automobile history. Hundreds of
men and women who before the
war gave little or merely passing
attention to motor vehicles were
there because during the war they
became chummy. under the stress
of war. with carburetors, tires,
muff1ers and gears and all the
other parts of a motor car.
At the same time and under the
same auspices the biggest motor
truck show was opening at the
Eighth Coast Artillery Armory.
- In the minds of the thousands
who attend them each year the ma
tional automobile shows set the
fashion in automobile chassis and
body design. And the investigating
crowds were interested to learn
that the Unprecedented demand for
the manufacturers under whose
auspices, co-ordinated in the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce., both shows are being
given to concentrate on production
rather than on new designs.
81 Exhibits Set on.
Scores and scores of cars are to be
seen divided into eighty-four indi-
vidual exhibits. BY observation and
conversation with the exhibitors the
visitors to the show learned that at
the present time. in the opinion of
those who know. there is not a single
manufacturer who is not putting out
the best car he can build.

and Workmanship Of manufacture the
