ROAD BUILDING
BOOSTS SALES
Of TRUCKS
1925 Will Be Greatest
Year in History Of
Industry.
BY ROY c. HAYES
Universal Service Automobile Editor,

Universal Service Automobile Editor.)
DETROIT, Oct. 17.-This will be
the greatest year the motor truck in
dustry has ever known. Sales and
production have reached unparalleled
records. Output for the first eight
months requires only two months OF
average production to equal last
years output of 377,901 trucks.
Tremendous strides made in build
ing operations and road construction
have given keen impetus to the sale
of trucks. Practically every company
in the matchmaking business will es-
tablish a new high mark this year.
If the present rate of production is
maintained, output for the year will
establish a new high mark this year.
il the present rate of production is
maintained, output for the year will
approach $4,000, which would be IA
per cent greater than the previous
record year, 1928.
GRAHAM STARS.
One OF the outstanding star per
formers in the truck business is Ora
ham Brothers. whose output for the
first six months of this year equalled
their entire 1924 production. This
feat places Graham Brothers in the
lead as the country's biggest exclusive
truck producer and third in the entire
industry, Ford excluded.
Ten companies produced so per
cent of the trucks sold in the first
half of this year.
Following tabulation compares ship
ments of 10 leading companies the
first six months this year with the
fu1l wear 1924.

Lodge Book Tells of
Trap to Commit U. S.
Leaders to League

Washington, Oct. 23.-(AP)-How
Republican leaders in the League of
Nations fight escaped what they con-
sidered a trap to commit them before
hand to support of the covenant is
one incident of the historic struggle
disclosed for the first time by the late
Henry Cabot Lodge, one of its domi-
nant figures, in book written month
before his death and given to the pub
lie today.
Entitled "The Senate and the League
of Nations" the volume, placed on sale
by Scribners as copyright holders, is
in the main record for posterity of
the already known history of the bit
ter end struggle between Woodrow
Wilson and the Senate opposition. But
the opposition leader is outspoken in
his personal Characterization Of the
war president, upon whom he lays full
responsibility, in his unbending atti-
tude, for the leagues defeat.
Disavowing any personal luminosity,
he views Mr.. Wilson as having been
actuated throughout by an over
whelming thought Of self" again as
"devoured by the desire for power"
and, in another passage, as thinking
first Of himself in dealing with every
great question" He could not, Mr..
Lodge thought, rightly be called "a
very great man."
In setting down his record of the
stormy period Of league debeat, much
of it traced in speeches, statements
and. other data taken from the Con-
gressional Record, Mr.. Lodge discloses
how the Republican leaders in March.
1919, escaped what they thought was
a trap to commit them beforehand to
support the league by declining an in
vitation to advise the Wilson peace
commission in Paris what changes in
the covenant would satisfy the Senate.
On the advice Of Elihu Root, Philan-
der C. Knox and others, Mr.. Lodge
replied instead that the only prac-
ticable means by which the president
could obtain the Senate's views would
be by calling it into session.
He quotes this from the advice he
received from Mr.. Root:
1.-THE net is spread in plain sight OF
the bird, and you are the bird"
Although he had worked and voted
, for ratification Of the league with res
ervations, in the end, Mr.. Lodge said
he was thankful that it had been de-
feated. He views the league as hav-
