Major General Kmlllo GHgllelmottl.

before the Austrian Plae drlxe he pre
dicted It.
The general holds It entirely possible
that Iundendorff will rush German, re
serves to Italv as soon as he realizes
the Impossibility of lctory on the west
line When he comes to thnt point,
Gugllelmottl bellee, Ludendorff will
lose no time trjlng to smash the Italian
defenses
The general believes the boche will
try thisjneans of stopping Italians from
going to the west front and also will
try thus to cover up at home the fiasco
of the Ithelms smash
General Gugllelmottl assert- that the
blow Is most likely to come in the moun
tain front, hecause the Austrian forces
In this section were the least affected
by the rout along the Plave and because
of occupation of the Trentinn regions
offers the tactical advantages for future
operations .
Simultaneous offensives In the Tren

The Motor Truck Is Essential
r I HE' continued manufacture of motor trucks, to be used in
- the transportation of materials for direct or indirect war
work or to be used in work of national civilian importance, is
an essential.
While motor trucks are of great importance in relieving
transportation problems, their manufacture cannot be out of
proportion to other transportation necessities, such as railroads
and steamships. A grave responsibility has been placed not
only upon the manufacturer of motor trucks, but upon the
present owners of such vehicles. We must all do our part to
the limit of our ability. The situation is this:
FIRST, motor trucks are to be sold only for necessary work,
either directly for war work or to facilitate the transportation of
such essentials as food, fuel, etc., or for important construction
work.
SECOND, motor truck owners must see to it that their trucks
are operated so as to require the minimum of spare parts and re
pair work.
THIRD, no truck must be discarded if it can be rebuilt so as to
operate efficiently. , 4
FOURTH, every truck in use must be routed to carry as many
tons a day as is economically possible. Empty runs must be cut to
a minimum.
Owners of trucks and new purchasers should investigate
the manufacturers' standing and service facilities which will
make it possible for the owner to do his proper share in the re-
sponsibility of owning a motor truck.
As manufacturers of THE AUTOCAR MOTOR TRUCK,
we are going to live up to our full responsibility and duty as
recommended by the War Industries Board.
