HUDSON HEAD
VISITS EAST
Finds Automobile Road Is
Bullock Train Through
Forest

The flying fishes still play "On
the road to Mandalay" and there
is stfl sea room for the flotillas to
lie, as per Kipling's famous bal
lad-but there is no road to Man
dalay for automobiles yet.
H. H. Kelly, special representative
for the Hudson Motor Car COM
pany, manufacturers Of Hudson ana
Essex cars, who has Just returned
from a trip to the far east during
which he set a record Of $4,000

months, using every means Oh

q vastly unpleasant experience. Tire
road Is a bullock trail with an
abundance Of dust. and surrounded
by tropical underground and forest.
According to Mr.. Kelly. the gen.
eral market for automobiles In the
Far East is excellent. With the x
ception Of India and French lnoo-
China, where commercial allegiance
TO the mother country controls buy
ing motives, over 80 per cent OF the
far eastern markets absorb cars OF
American manufacture. The rea-
son for Americas motor a DOM
nance in the Asiatic area may be
|, attribted 10 the superior quality anu
\ performance of the American mo-
tor vehicle. In China and japan,
the Hudson and Essex are partic-
ularly popular for these reasons
says Mr.. Kelly.
Road development still acts as the
chief deterrent to automobile sales
in the Far East. In this respect
continental Asia is very backward.
In China there are but 10000 miles
Of vehicular roads in an area larg-
er than the United States. Many
states IN the Union alone have
more road mileage than this. One
starts for al evening drive from
most any seacoast city in China
and winds up at the end Of the
goad Is miles inland.
The most conspicous road de-
velopment in the Far East has been
in the island empire Of Japan and
the Dutch insular possession, Java.
These countries have a well-de-
veloped road system, linking all ma
jor cities by modern thoroughfares.
The ready pickup and easy riding
qualities Of the Essex has given it
q wide distribution IN these islands.
In the main, the market uncer-
tainty in Asia is due to political
instability more than any n fac
tor. Governmental disturbances.
particularly in China and South
Central Asia. have in the past him
dered free commerce TO a marked
degree. Purchasing power in the
Orient Is at present concentrated in

tive rank Of q major general OF
the Army, while q Representative
ranks with a brigadier general,
for purposes of travel on Army
transport to distant points during

however, have priority. After
them the priority goes to the
senator major generals and the
Representative brigadier generals. +"
The expense is the uniform charge
Of $3.50 per day per person.
Major General Cheatham ex.
: planned that Senators and Repre-
sentatives travelling in this way
"are assumed to be under orders
and on Government business and
are placed on board under that
priority. The general said that
the War Department regarded
this as a perfectly proper pro-
cedure. since members Of Con.
gress had their trips and had an

|NUTMEGS SET FOR
 GIANTS SUNDAY
Local Football Team to Hold
 Final Workout Before Game

With a final workout Sunday morning at Willow Brook park scheduled, the Nutmegs football team will be all set for the clash with the Hartford Giants at the Hur- ley Stadium in Hartford Sunday af- ternoon. The local squad will go through a light signal drill in prep aration for the game and Coach Bob | Patterson will attempt to smooth off several rough spots in the plays which have cropped out in the games l played so far this year.
 With the Newark game of last 1 Sunday tucked away and all of the reserves under fire, Coach Patter- son is satisfied as to the men who will start in Sundays game. With out much doubt, all of the regulars will be in the starting lineup, mean isg that the Giants are to receive the 1 full attack of the New Britain for ward and secondary combinations. | Baut, right halfback, will prob | ably be on the bench for the game due to an injured knee received last 1 Sunday against the Newark Bears. His place will be filled with the huge bulk of WolcOtt Boston |. star who proved his worth last Sunday against the Newark team. Johnny Grip, suf- 1 ferng for two weeks with q broken rib. is expected to be in shape to resume his post at quarterback. This will give the Nutmegs their field di- rector and the play should return 10 it's former smoothness in the game Sunday.
 Coach Patterson has warned the local crew against ovcr-contidencc. | The Hartford Giants are no set up for any pro foothball club. The team has a line of players and reserve men who have been through the i tough school of the gridiron on var ious fleuds and in many climes. The entire squad came out of the score less tie with Williams last week, un- injured and fit for a real battle this week
 New Britain's line will probably be the same as started the game last week. Politis and Burns will prob ably be at the ends with Scully and Gallagher at tackles and Bcloin and Humphrey at guards. Rogers will be at center. Grip will take over the quarterback position with Buckley and Wolcott at the halves and silent John" Davis at fullback.
 The kicfoff is scheduled to take place at 2:3O o'clock sharp and New Britain fans are warned that there will be no delay in the starting whistle.

ARMY MAY MEET
 NAVY THIS YEAR
Prospects Of Game Depend on Meeting in Washington Today

New York, Oct. IS UP)-Pros- poets of a renewal of the annual Army-Navy football classic hinged today upon a meeting to be held in Washington betwe an Maj. Gen. Will liam R. Smith, superintendent of West Point, and Rear Admiral g, $. Robinson of the Naval Academy,
 There is a chance that the teams will meet Dec 6 at Soldier Field in Chicago This chance. however, is remote because examinations at the Military Academy begin on Dec, 7, and continue through Dee. IS. After that the Cadets will leave for the west coast for the Stanford game on Dec. 28.
 Army and Navy foll out in an ath- letic way in December, 1927. Navy at that time wanted Army to agree to observe an eligibility rule in effect at the Naval Academy. This rule provided that an athlete could play but three years of varsity football and if he had played one year in college before entering the academy he could play but two years for Navy.
 Army. having already agreed tc rule proposed by Navy prohibitinc first year men from playing on the varsity, failed to agree to lh2 sec ond rule and sports relationships were off.
 There was one disquieting rotc ir the lengthy telegram in which Gen. cral Smith proposed the Washington meeting. That came in the para. graph in which he told Admir& Robinson, in effect, that he was not considering a change in cligi. bility rulings. Navy's acceptance O | the invitation to discuss the matter hinted at desire for compromise.
