ENGINEERS DISAGREE ON BRIDGE APPROACH Plan to Hnve Washington Square as Site Opposed in Discussion Differences of opinion as to the loca tion ot the terminal In Philadcphta of the proposed Deawarfe Illver bridge were dlscosed In a discussion last night at the Engineers' Club, following an ad dress by Dr. Warren P, Laird on hla Investigations relative to plans for the bridge. Doctor Laird adhered to his proposal that tho bridge terminal be placed In Washington Square. A number of en gineers present, however, favored hav ing tho bridge enter the city north of Market street, preferably at the foot of Itace street. Argument for the latter location was presented by Benjamin C, llalderman, formerly division engineer In tho Dureau of Highways, In charge of city plans, who eight years ago was the first to draft plans for the proposed bridge. Mr. llalderman stated It as his belief that a terminal at that point would be more easily accessible than one situated south of Market street, and that a great part of the traffic, that would use the bridge would come from the northeast ern and northwestern sections of the city. Henry Qulmby, chief engineer of the Department of City TranBlt, asserted the prospective Industrial development of the southwestern part of the city ought not to be taken Into serious consideration In the location of the bridge. "And if the contemplated central traffic circuit Is not brought Into realization," ho added "Doctor Lalrd'a plan for a terminal at Washington Square will bo unfortunate." "If the bridge comes Into Philadelphia at the root or Ilaco street, as Is sug gested," he aald, "then It must be built obliquely across the river to reach tho Courthouso plaza In Camden, which Is the! logical terminal there. If It Is built straight across from Race street It wilt touch Camden outside the main routes of traffic. 1 have found that peo ple In Philadelphia think only of the location pf tho bridge un this side, nnd then for them the brldgo ends In the middle of the river, and that llkewlsn the name way ot looking at tho thing prevails In Camden." Immediate need of a bridge connecting Philadelphia nnd Camden for the relict of congestion of commercial vehicles on streets near the ferries was urged by tho Motortruck Owners Association at a meeting In the Bellevuc-Stratford.

American soldiers are saying and writing such fine things about the Cadillac, not because it was chosen the Standard Seven Passenger Car of the United States Army, but because they saw it make good after it had been so chosen. They saw this American car distinguish itself in die eyes of all the allied nations. i They saw the Cadillac-under circumstances .that were at once brilliant, and trying. Its adoption by the War Department thrust the Cadillac into almost cruel prominence on the huge demonstration ground of the war zone. The Cadillac was naturally subjected to most intent and interested scrutiny as the choice of our govern -ment. Conditions were such that American army men were given an exhibition of Cadillac efficiency they could never have witnessed at home. They saw the car doing almost impossible things; day after day, with the same constancy and consist ency, that characterize it on American streets and roads. But, best of all, they were witness to the frank and ungrudging admiration of three allied nations, which pride themselves on motor refinement. Naturally, their Americanism rejoices, in that fact, and they . have come home realizing fully, for the first time, how good a car'their country builds, in the Cadillac, and how highly the whole world esteems the Cadillac.
