TURNING IT OVER ENTIRE

The withdrawal of Ambassa.
dor Wallace from the meetings
Of the Supreme Council at Paris
is but a part of a large decision
to which President Wilson has
evidently come. This is to make
no further attempt to deal with
the aftermath of the war, but to
turn it all over to the incoming
Administration. There is really
nothing else for the President to
do. All his efforts have been op.
posed and frustrated by the Re.
publican Senate. No proposal,
no suggestion of his would get a
moments tolerance from the Re-
publican managers. They would
not let him attempt to lift the
postwar burden. The only
course. then, Is to pass 1t on to
them entire.
They have professed to want
1t so. Their protest has been
that they alone were competent
to solve the big questions. Their
party is the only one ''fit to rule. "
It has the best minds" and
nearly all the patriotism Of the
country. The Democrats have
snarled everything up. Republi.
can shears are ready 10 cut all
the knots. The too vast orb"
has no terrors for the eager and
confident Republicans. Bring on
your world problems. The Re-
publican Party finds instant solu.
ton.
This complacent attitude will
not, IN oil probability, persist
long after March 4. When the
Republicans find out the true di.
mansions Of the task handed to
them by Mr. Wilson they will
have q new complaint to make Of
him. Why did he leave lettering

SHOW EVIDENCE
OF CONFIDENCE
Dodge Brothers Give Sub
stantial Proof of Be
lief III Future.

Substantial evidence OF Dodge
Bros. confidence in the future is TO
be found IN their expenditure Of be-
tween $4,000. 900 and ss.00O.OOO for
the expansion OF their factory. The
present building program is the
largest in their history, and will
bring the total floor space OF the
plant up 20 more than 100 square
acres. In 1915. when production OF
Dodge Bros. motor cars began the
total floor space was about eight
square acres.
The principal unit OF the con-
struction program row in progress
is the new press steel building. with
a floor area OF $50. 600 square feet.
The new construction building.
which has just been completed. IS
eight stories high and has a floor
area or 140.266 square feet. Another
Important unit now being built is
the new rover plant.
With the gradual expansion Of
the factory the interplant traffic
problem became one OF prime i'm
portarce. The distance between the
main building and plant 4 IL nearly
a mile. and until recently Il was
necessary to cross II railroad tracks
TO reach e. This problem was solved
by the simple but costly expedient
Of digging a tunnel Now factory
traffic cuts Off half the distance
and passes under the u tracks in
stead Of over them. The tunnel is a
good example OF the efficiency meas
ures always being introduced at
Dodge Bros. factory. which has the
reputation among authorities OF be-
Ing one OF the most thoroughly
equipped and best managed factor
les In the world.
When the present building op-
eratiOns are completed others will
probably begin. There is nearly al
ways something in progress. The
maximum production attained so far
was an average OF about 500 cars
a day. but this will be materially
Increased by the extra facilities now
being provided

MONTANA WHISKY
RUNNERS RESORT
TO CAMOUFLAGE
Prohibition Sleuths Invade
State to Balk Through
Pipe Line.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 12.-That
whisky sleuths from the east are
persona non grata in Montana is the
conclusion of these officers following
the arrival of few special prohibit
ton enforcement agents from Wash
ington to smash the rum runners
trust" in this region.
They are not welcome. and il is
feared in some quarters that If they
attempt TO round up the western
smugglers who are bringing contra
band liquor over the Canadian boun-
dairy into the Treasure state, they
will be lost in the hills or led astray
on the crooked trails
Hunting bootleggers in Montana
is a different game from trailing box
car thieves and city bred criminals"
one of these agents said when he
heard that Washington headQuar-
tiers was going TO send am additional
dry squad" into this state. What
IS needed out here are 'hardboiled' old
cowpunchers. former sheriffs and
trappers-men who knew every trail.
every water hole. every stream, road,
horse, cattle brand and feeding
ground in Montana"
Through Pipe Line"
Federal prohibition officers are en-
gagged in breaking up what they be-
lieve to be the greatest organized
gang of bootleggers opera ting in any
section of the United States. In the
parlance Of the sleuths it is the
Montana Through Pipe Line" and
the activities Of the bootleggers are
not confined to the Canadian Mon
tana boundary line, but frequency
extends along the Canadian-W Co.,
ming line.
Many raids, accompanied by fierce
hand~to- hand fighting between Of
ficers and bootleggers. have occurred
at border towns recently. and the
belief is general that specially quail
flied dry" officers must be appointed
to cope with the widespread viola
tons of the prohibitory law in this
region.
