The recent absorption by Dodge

the largest exclusive manufacturers
Of motor trucks, lends special inter-

achieved by Graham Brothers dur

increase in total shipments from
1891 in 1924 to 24.O5G in 1925 from
their four plants, Detroit, Evans
vile, Stockton and Toronto, a gain,
Of 1913 per cent seems remarkable.
A Dodge Brothers executive is
quoted as follows regarding these
figures:
"An annual business growth Of well
over 100 pc: cent is what would be
expected by those who are familiar
with Graham Brothers rapid rise
from a start less than five years ago
to their present position in the truck
industry.
Graham Brothers 1922 sales cx-

month by month this year sales
have surpassed the preceding month.
In fact production for the first six
months of this year equalled the en-
tire production for 1924.
''At no time during the year. nor
at any time during Graham Brothers
history, has there been any over
stocking of trucks by dealers. Our
problem has constantly been one Of
increasing manufacturing facilities
to supply the demand for our pro-
duet.
"The number Of trucks on h"nd At
the end Of November, compared with
the number at the end OF the same
month last year. shows a substantial
ly smaller increase than the rate at
which production has been advanced.
This is because the big volume OF
retail sales has cleared the stocks
Of the dealers so rapidly"

sRuick Cars Win
HOnOrs in Hill
Climbing Contests

In the hill climbing contests at
Frognersaeter Hill, Norway, this fall,
American ears in competition with
the best European makes showed bet
ter all-round performance.
In the $500 cubic centimeter dis
placement class, the Buick cars en-
tered won both first and second nlacc
against strong field. The Buick
time for the climb of 2 minutes, SO
seconds, was the best made in any
class. The light car climb was won
by Fiat in minutes, So 40 seconds.
In the next two classes which in
cluded cars ranging from 1900 to
1000 c. c. displacement, the time was
d minutes, Is seconds and 2 minutes,
80 seconds, respectively. Both were
, made by foreign built cars. In the
biggest car class an American make
tVq1l in 2 minutes. 80 seconds, tying
'f6r second place in best time made.
The Frognersaeter Hill climb IS
considered one of the hardest tests
of power in Europe, and the results
of the various tests showed bal
ance Of performance in favor Of
American makes. In the $500 c. c.
class. three other American made
cars followed the two leading Bucks
over the finish line, giving America
i. clean sweep in this class.

Bucks Chosen
to Save Seconds

The ability to save precious sec
onds accounts for the choice of
Buick automobiles as motor equip
ment for both the police and fire de-
partmcnts of San Francisco
Dan j. O'Brien, chief Of police,
gives this as the reason for choosing
Bucks to chase bandits and get to
fires in a hurry. Great speed and
flashing pickup are needed to slip
ahead in traffic and get to the scene
Of fire or crime at the earliest
possible moment. But just as impor-
tant is the ability to bring the car
to smooth, quick stop from a high
speed when such a stop is necessary.
The combination Of these qualities is
found in the Buick valuc-in- head en-
CINE and mechanical 4wheel brakes,
according to Chief O'Brien.
The San Francisco police depart
ment is served by sixteen Bucks.
In addition, the twelve battalion
chiefs of the fire department each
has red Buick roadster

MOSCOW. December 3.-A revolt in
the Philippines, preparatory to war
between America and Japan, with
Great Britain involved on one side, is
being fomented by the third interna'
tionale, according to Dmitri Manuil'
sky. one of three Russian members of
the executive committee, who halls
from the Ukraine, which America
helped during the famine.
"As soon as the Chinese revolution
is started, we will be more attentive
to the forces developing in the Pacific
Ocean," he said. "The Chinese con-
flict has accelerated the coming war
between the big powers in the Pacific
by spreading revolutionary influence
all over Asia. This is proved by the
recent revolt in Java and the increas-
ing disturbances in the Philippine
Islands.
America, whose Imperialism is
the most dangerous of any country,
will play an aggressive role in the
Pacific. It's line of campaign has
been long prepared. Occupation of
Cuba, the Philippine Islands and
Hawaii and the digging of the Pana-
ma Canal were merely the prologue
of the imperialistic advance of
America across the Pacific.
"If the workers of America and
Europe do not overthrow the capi-
talists, if the victorious Chinese
revolution does not change the aspect
of international Pacific relations, we
will witness a war exceeding in dev-
astation the Great. War. 1t is al
ready discussed quite openly in
Japan. 1t is better veiled in Amer
ica, with the Washington conference
masking Americas plan to enter the

MONTREAL, December 3.-The
wage dispute in which $4,000 Canadian
trainmen had voted to strike unless
they were given an. increase was set
tied today.
S. N Berr. senior vice president of
the Order of Railway Conductors. and
w. J. Babe, vice president OF the
Brotherhood of Trainmen, announced
the settlement was peaceful and that
the men had been granted varying
increases. They had been in con
ference for several days with railway
officials in an effort to prevent a walk
out. A strike had already been voted.
The men had demanded a per
cent increase to lift their wages to a
level with those of American trainmen
and conductors.
Although the men did not get all
they wanted. Berry said, they had
considered the offers of the railways
preferable to throwing the country
into turmoil by railway strike.

DISTRICT JUDGES
WILL KEEP POSTS
President Expected to Reap
point Aukum and Meehan for
Another Term Each.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

It was learned authoritatively today
that President Coolidge will reappoint
George G.. Aukum and Charles ".
Meehan as judges of the Municipal
Court of the District of Columbia.
The President was represented as
having reached this decision within
the past few days. 1t is expected that
their nominations will be sent to the
Senate Monday or Tuesday. Accord
ing to advices received at the White
House there is every reason to feel
that they will be readily confirmed.
The terms of these two members of
the Municipal Court expired last Sep
tember, but when this matter was
brought to the Presidents attention
at the time he said he preferred to
wait until the Senate reconvened
rather than make recess appointments
in these cases. However the Presi-
dent at the time gave no indication
that it was his intention to reap
point these two judges. Although
there have been a number of
aspirants to succeed each of these
jurists, the feeling is general in local
political and court circles that when
the time came the President would
give Judges Aukum and Meehan an
other term.
Reports received by the President
in response to inquiries from the
White House regarding the records of
these two judges are known to have
been very satisfying. Also leading
members of the local bar and local
Republican leaders are known to have
added their Endorsements of the two
judges and urged their reappointment.
Judge Aukum is the dean of the
Municipal Court, having served con-
tinuously since 1907, when he was ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt.
Judge Meehan has just completed his
drst term on this bench. He was ap
pointed by President Harding in 1922.

NEW YORK, December 8 (P.-The
present internal conflict in China is
the outgrowth of an effort on the part

The presence of British, American

SAN FRANCISCO, December 81
While Marshal Chang Tso-lin is or
ganiZing the "ankuonsiun," or alliance
of northern war lords, to attempt a
cooperative movement against the
Cantonese, the revolutionary army of
the south is continuing it's victorious
march.
Within the last "a hours two i'm
portant cities, Foochow and Yen
pingfu, both on the line Of the rail-
road running from the coast to Nan
chang, have fallen into the hands of
the Canton government. Possessing
these cities, the way is opened for
the southerners to move forwaN into
northern Fukien province and Cheki-
ang, the province adjoining on the
north, for there is no railroad line on
which the northerners can make a
stand to bar further progress.
In so far as foreigners are con-
cerned, the situation seems to be
quiescent both at Foochow, now in
vested by the Cantonese, and Hankow,
which has been in southern hands sew
eral months.

Still another flotilla of foreign ves-
sells is riding the placid ripples of the
River Yantze, ready for any emer-
gency which may arise to endanger
safety of western nationals in Han
kow. There antiforeign demonstra-
tions have alarmed the foreign popu-
lace for several days, but there has
been no. untoward incident disclosed,
fears being based principally on the
threat Of a general anti-foreign strike,
originally set for tomorrow.
Intimations have been given, how
ever, that this may be Cancelled and
already Industrial strikes, one in par
ticular against Japanese manufacture
ing, have been settled.

in China have uniformly commended
the attitude of the Cantonese armies
