AUTO CHANGED METHODS IN WAR Today Army Transportation Is a Marvel of Speed How the automobile has revolu tionized methods of warfare was re cently pointed out by President Sam' uel P. Colt of the United States Rub ber Company, manufacturers of United States tires. "In the days of the Civil War," said Colonel Colt, "transportation was slow and tedious, being mostly in the hands of the obstinate army mule and the profane skinner. Op erations and maneuvers which are carried on daily in this war would have been impossible then because of the tardy distribution of supplies and armament. "To-day army transportation Is a marvel of speed and dependability, and rubber has been largely respons ible for the change. The fast motor truck of to-day could not have been developed on steel tires, or on tires of any known material other than rubber. Motor trucks carry sup plies for soldiers, ammunition for their guns, and even the soldiers themselves, making the army of to day more than ever dependent upon mechanical transportation for its ef fectiveness. The entente armies at the present time use in the neigh borhood of 80,000 to 100,000 motor trucks. 'The passenger automobiles with rubber tires make it possible for the commanders to oversee operations on twenty, thirty, fifty and even one hundred-mile fronts. They make it possible for wounded men to be quickly and carefully carried from the battlefield to the modern hos pitald. Thousands of lives are weekly saved in this way. The mo torcycle takes the place of the mounted dispatch bearer of other days. The total number of motor cars in use by the entente allies, ex clusive of trucks, is approximately 100,000." PACKARD CO. ON BIG WAR BASIS Have One Hundred Per Cent. War \V6rk Factory From Now On The entire resources of the Pack ard Motor Car Company, plant and man power, are to be devoted to war work from now on. This announce ment of a 100 per cent, war factory was made to dealers and the public to-day by Alvan Macauley, president and general manager of the com pany. War esesntials to which Packard now devotes itself exclusively are airplane engines, motor trucks, air planes and war tractors. The re sources dedicated to the govern ment's win-the-wa.r program include the entire Packard plant of sixty one factory buildings covering flfty six acres of ground, unsurpassed shop facilities, a rapidly growing force of employes now numbering 12,000 men and women—all with a production capacity mounting to ward $100,000,000 a year. In conformity with the wishes of the government, the Packard, through its motor transport depart ment, will deliver trucks, to essential industries only, co-operating to the fullest degree with the war indus tries board and the highways trans port committee. All other new product will be taken direct for the military use of the government. Thousands of Packard trucks are al ready in active service on the west ern front. Packard service will be main tained on the thousands of Packard trucks now in use and on the 45,000 Packard passenger cars. The trucks keep essential business going, and most of the cars are devoted to es sential transportation. Both these factors work to relieve the present over-taxed railroad traffic. This service will be furnished through the Packard's country-wide institution for service. Service stations and dealers will be supplied with essen tial parts. "This announcement is but a pub lication of a fact already accom plished," said Mr. Macauley. "The President of the United States has said that this Is the crisis of the war. It is no time for half meas ures. From now on, Packard is 100 per cent, in government service. "While supplying the govern ment's military needs to the best of our ability, we shall try to maintain through the furnishing of trucks to essential industries and the continu ing of service on Packard vehicles now in use, that public confidence and good will which the Packard regards as its finest asset. The Pack ard company is in business 'perma nently, and our obligation to the public is second only to our obliga tion to the government." Tells Why Miners Are Striking For Higher Wages A schedule of the rate of pay of the men at the Williamstown col liery of the Susquehanna Coal Com pany has been sent to the Telegraph by a miner to show why they are striking' for a higher rate of pay. The letter follows: Williamstown, Sept. 19. To the Editor of the Telegraph: I note m your paper that D. V. Randall, an official of the company has made the announcement that many miners average more than S2OO a month, while envelopes con taining S3OO and S4OO are not un common among the men. I note that Mr. Randall forgot to state to the public that of the 1,129 union men employed at the Wil liamstown colliery, that only about 30 per cent, are miners and the rest on day rate. I wish to state the rates of the day rate as follows: Insidl company miners $3.49 Inside labors and drivers $3.11 Outside laborers $2.54 Blacksmiths Blacksmith helper *2.60 Firemen •• •' 1' Braker boys $1.59 to $2.04 Yours respectively, (Signed) JOHN E. HARMAN. Mr. Randall has explained that he was misquoted.—Ed. PUBLIC MUST DEPEND UPON MOTOR TRUCK Overland Transportation will Increase, Says Duplex President "Overland transportation of manu factured products, foodstuffs and other materials by motor trucks will increase immensely as the winter months approach, due to an Inevit able shortage of railroad shipping facilities," says H. M. Lee, president of the Duplex Truck Company, of Lansing, Mich. "While there was congestion at the terminals, and shortage of freight cars last winter, conditions will certainly not bo Improved dur ing the coming months because the volume of war supplies to be han dled by the railroads will greatly exceed that of a year ago. "This leaves but one outlet for many shippers—the motor truck. And scores of motor truck routes will be opened during the winter months of necessity. This is an important matter to the motor truck manufacturer, as well as the general public which will come to depend more and more upon motor trucks for shipment of freight. "It ia important to the truck manufacturer because he must now build a truck that is absolutely de pendable 365 days In the year or lose out on the sale of trucks—hundreds of trucks —-that will be utilized in overland transportation work. Trucks operated between cities must be built with the year-round service idea behind them. They must have the power to haul capac ity loads in winter, as well as sum mer—through snow and ice in the north, and mud and gumbo in the south and west. Motor trucks in this severe haul age work must operate without help from service stations and round the-corner repair shops. They must be rugged, powerful—equal to any emergency. "Because of the success with which 4-wheel drive trucks are be ing utilized under most adverse eon* ditions, we are receiving many in quiries from prospective operators u nio * or truck lines. And because they are dependable in districts where roads are imaginary lines be tween cities, and where towns are little more than names, Duplex trucks will play an important role in the overland transportation of freight during the coming winter." Champion Motor Travels 22,022.3 Miles in 44 Days After traveling, under Its own power, almost 150,000 miles, It has been found necessary to make a single addition to the equipment of the famous Maxwell World's Non stop Champion. Finally, it had to be done. So slip covers have been added. Only this and nothing more. The champion is the famous Max well which, running for 44 days and 4 4 nights, without a single momen tary stop of the motor, attained the unheard of distance of 22,022.3 miles, not in a store-window, but on the roads. This record is not merely a manufacturer's claim but an ab solutely authenticated performance held under the sanction and strict observance of the American Auto mobile Association—the court of last appeal on all matters pertaining to American motor records. This single performance would have been a life-work for any car but, immediately after the record run was finished, the Maxwell Cham pion was sent on the road and has. for the past two years, carried the message of Maxwell into almost every state in the Union, across the Mexican deserts and into the wilds of Canada. Battered is the body and worn is the upholstery—hence, the latest and only addition to the car the slip-covers. Still sturdily, how 'evcr, this wonderful example of Maxwell endurance, engine efficiency and economy, chugs along and is everywhere the recipient of a re markable welcome from lovers of the best in motors. No fewor than 26 sets of tires hare "done their hit" and been replaced on the Champion and from present reports in Texas, where the car now is, many more will be needed before the International Wanderer gives its last gasp and is retired to the happy hunting ground of good and faithful servants. Strangely enough, the Champion has been in every city of importance in the United States, except its birth place—Detroit—since making its record and plans are now being made to give it an "Old Homo Week" in the near future. Advertising Club to Meet Friday Evening The Advertising Club of Harris burg will hold the next regular meet ing in the Y. M. C. A. next Friday evening at 6-30 o'clock. The com mittee of arrangements has made special efforts to make the meeting one of unusual interest and pleas ure.

A chicken supper will be served and general good time social ly will be the order of the evening. Each member will be permitted to bring a guest who is a buyer, sel ler or maker 1 of advertising.

The evening dedicatory exercises to be held at 8 o'clock in the Harris Street United Evangelical Church, more elaborate and comprehensive in scope perhaps than its forerun ner in the afternoon, and which will doubtless be attended by prominent churchmen and laymen of this city outside the Evangelical Church in addition to a generous representa tion of all churches of the latter de nomination in and about Harrisburg comprises this program: Scripture reading, the Rev.

This exhibit room, which more than likely, will be added to from time to time by patrons and lovers of the church who have road and saved its lore and who are more or less incessantly acquiring its biblio graphy and literary accouterments, will be a sort of "sacred" place for those visiting it. Relics, pictorial and otherwise, intimate with knowledge of United Evangelism and the things which it touches; books and papers apropos the authority, history and activities of the church and memen toes in general which testify to the greatness and usefulness of the church will find their abiding places here. As the name of this room im plies, the contents therein will be more or less equally divided between the historical and missionary ac quirements of the United Evangelic al denomination. Noteworthy in the collection gathered are documentary and other proofs of the church's in fluence in foreign lands notably in China and Japan.

Wounded Harrisburg Boy Reported Dead of Disease Notified by the War Department one week ago that her son. Corporal Burnetts Pri.e Long was reported wounded severely in France, Mrs. Sarah A. Long, of 408 Forster street, this city, is confronted by General Pershing's casualty list to-day which states that her boy is dead of dis ease. Mrs. Long is at a loss to ac count for the anomaly -which the two reports crtfete especially so as only yesterday the mother of the soldier received a letter from the latter in which he mentions having been wounded but now on the road to re covery. The nature of his wounds was not uncovered by the young corporal. Corporal Long enlisted soon after American's declaration of war enter ing Company I, of the old Eighth Regiment. He was sent with the rest of his company into training at Camp Hancock, Ga., after a short prelimin ary encampment at Island Park. He was an employe of the Iron and Steel Company before enlistment Wounded on August 26, while fight ing for "Old Glory" somewhere in France, is the word received of her grandson. Private William J. Rader, Company K, 112 th Infantry, yester day by Mrs. Sarah Craver, of 44 North Thirteenth street, this city. After enlisting in York, August. 1917, Pri vate Rader was sent to Camp Han cock for overseas training. He sail ed for action in May, 1918. Mrs. Rader's information comes from her grandson direct who says that he was wounded in the right leg by pieces of shrapnel. Democratic Club Is Opposed to Higher Fare Calling the proposed increase in fare by the Harrisburg Railways Company as "unwarranted," branding its original organization as "al legedly high financed" and contend ing that "public welfare" demanded that it "should be made to show the actual need for the increased fares so that the present and sub sequent generations shall know ex actly from the record the reasons for the move," the Central Democratic Club at a meeting last night passed resolutions directing its officers to file a formal complaint with the Public Service Commission protesting against the increase. Amid much enthusiasm the resolutions were unanimously passed by the body. The fund being collected by Charles F. Quinn, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, for financing a legal hearing of the case, was added to yesterday by a check from Car penters' Union, No. 287 for $25 which brings the total to date to $112.50. Overland Model 90 Truly a Thrift Car "Analysis of the demand for the Overland Model 90 and continued re ports as to its economical perform ance clearly demonstrate that it is deserving its title, 'The Thrift Car,' " said Carl Hanson, Overland dis tributor. "To the many people who are driv ing their own machines these days and are conforming in the strictest manner with the habits of conserving time and energy with the use of lighter and more economical cars, this Model 90 is meeting the situa tion as one especially adapted to present day demands."

Many men whoso business will not permit them to at tend to their duties wlhout the aid of the motor car have found that Model 90 gives them the service they need and at the same time reduces the cost of operation considerably. "With the closing of the summer months will come the call for*more closed models. The Willys-Overland Company has prepared for this sit uation with the Model 90 Sedan. "To the businessman to-day," said Mr. Hanson, "this is virtually 'an office on wheels.' It gives the doc tor, lawyer, merchant, and other business or professional men a means of conveyance closed against the cold winds, yet open for pleasant days of fall, spring or summer. Fix Price and Demand Full Value When Buying an Auto "Great energy is never more than a contributing factor to a desirable result and just as often it contributes to failure," says the local dealer in Dort cars. "I often think of this fact in ob serving the method and manner of shoppers in looking for an auto mobile. The prospect who dashes up and down the row, gathering armfulls of literature and earfulls of chatter, crying to mind-file the good and bad points of all the cars on the market, is a common type. Not so common is the prospect who first fixes a price in his mind and then demands lull value. But the first type is often 'stung,' the second type seldom.
