AUTO TRUCKS

Thousands Of American motor
I trucks which were dumped In Europe
at the close OF the war are serving at
least one good cause for the Ameri-
can truck manufacturer, in the
opinion Of v. A. Olen, president and
general manager Of the -Four Wheel
Drive Auto company ClintonVille,
Wis, who. with d. J. Eohrer and c. I.
Folkman OF the company's board OF
directors, has just returned from a

tons These trucks are populariz-
ing American motor transportation in
European countries and are paving
the way Tor the entrance OF an in
creasinE number OF trucks IN the
European field, according TO Mr.

Virtually everywhere found
these old war trucks" says Mr.. Glen.
They have been put into shape again
and are doing great work ana giving
a satisfactory service that promises
to reflect fav0rably In the future
sale Of motor transportation TO these
countries
They are proving a q. t advertise
ing medium and are acquainting Eu-
Eopean buyers with the strength and
durability Of American trucks. The
service they are giving IN the hands
OF consumers, as Tar as ] could learn,
Is most satisfactory.
Among our distributors I found
every one enthusiastic over prospects
for healthy business. There u
large potential market IN European
countries not only for motor trucks,
but other mechanical equipment as

country is done By machinery. Even
the freight that Is loaded aboard the
steamer At New York By upeOdate

on the other side.
The high price Of gasoline IN
European countries Is an important
consideration. We found IN England
that gasoline was selling for 81 cents
a gallon while in this country the
price was ~ cents. For this reason

BERLIN. Germany, July 13.-Ac-
cording to their political leanings,
the various factions in Berlin cheer
the reports of defeat of the Poles or
the reports of defeat for the reds. Some
of them repeat the old threat of joining
forces with the bolsheviki, while others
cheer for a world revolution"
There is really very small danger
from either monarchists or commun-
lists. Germany appreciates its wealth
too much to destroy it. Berlin is
radical. but Berlin is not Germany.
The Spa conference is peace
maker for the bolsheviki.' said Herr
Won Raumer. minister of the treasury.
Germany went to Spa without great
hope. but expected that the recount
ing of Germany's plight would at
least make an Impression. The die
tated terms are in imminent danger.
A strong regional police force is per-
mitted, but the time allowance for
reforming the army is too short. The
Russians are advancing toward East
and West Prussia and the only way
the allies can aid Poland is through
Dantzig. If Germany gives passage
to French troops. Russia can deem it
an unfriendly act"
