ot Its cost to tli American", inrortl
Inff to n statement siren to the AiO
elated Press yesterday by Louis Morel,
tinder secretary of Mate for the llqulda
tlon of otorkj.
M. Morel paid that what -seemed to
bo a low ofcr in realltv was liberal
because, much of the military construc
tion vlll be of little (nine in peace
time. Much of the property. Mich us
railway equipment, yens designed for
n use "different from that required for
French operations.
The French fiovernmciit'n proposnl

who Is experted to nrric here tomorrow
with a staff of experts
Foods and other movable stores, it
was said, probibh will be returnee to
the United States . . .. ..
M. Morel cave in some detail tne i
reasons that caused the French Oov- ,
eminent to ap-ee upon a basis of one
fifth ot cost in offcrins to bin the,
American properti. Manv miles of!
railway track, he said, are rnosth s"l
lugs, located where the would be ue
less under peace conditions Ten Hi o ,
sand passenKer automobiles and ..0,000 1
treks owned bv the Americans he.
said, "would ruin the French automo
bile industry if unloaded on the
French markrt "
"You hnye 1300 locomotives and
17,000 freisht cars,' he continued,
"which are too lame for our railways
and too heavy for our tracks "
The American built doks in Atliutic
ports, he explained were built in
ihree months to last ten "' heu
.i ...;,i u tioc nnd we will nave
to rebuild them if thej are still
needed." , , . I
An enormous amount of lumber
scattered throw France. Belpium,
Luxembours and Alace is owned bj
the American M Morel id there
Va nearl enough lumber to rebuild
ai.. .i...c,nt..H resions. but that per ,
sons who lost bntk or stone structure
are unwillinK to accept wooden cottages
as homes.
The supplies most attractive to the
French population arc the many million
pounds of flour, rice and beans held bv
th army- On armistice day, according
to high officials of the quartermaster's
department, there were Anicr.cn i
tions in France sufficient for a year i
and flour, rice and Deans cqouku w
fd a million men lorae ot ine&c sup
plies have been used at American camps,
but much remain'
These supplies, M. Morel said will
be purchased at market price on the

Breezing along in an Atlantic-fed motor, one is impressed with the marked
similarity to the sensation of mechanical flight.
For it seems the wheels musrf leave the road and carry you Up There on the
highway of Hawker and Alcock and Read.
That's because Atlantic Gasoline is packed-to-the-doors with power and push
that sweep everything before them. Power that will not be denied. Power that
seeks release, like a beast ensnared.
Atlantic Gasoline is the same in all seasons. It is no fair-weather fuel, merely.
Once your carbureter is adjusted for the season, you need not change it IF you
use Atlantic Gasoline, and nothing else.
Ask for Atlantic by name. Yes, it does make a difference. A BIG difference.
