Japanese. Lettish, Persian, Serbian and Slovak these and many other foreign peoples may in this city of diverse na tionalities read a newspaper in their own toneue. Socialistic and anti-socialistic, anar chistic, Zionistie or anti-Zionistic are these foreign speaking papers. They often are organs of workingmen's or sanization?. hut most of all are the or gans of city politirs. When a Russian paper publishes an article entitled: "is Patriotism Incur able?" and an anarchistic sheet in quires. "What would happen if Presi dent Wilson died?" is it any wonder that church and povernment become uneasy and aqxee that this babel of toneues can bear watching? On the other hand, the influence of many of these foreign papers is along! the line of Americanization. "One who has once drunk out of America's foun i tain," declares one with enthusiasm, ! "will always remain a free slave of the country." The Greek who wants to "obey that impulse" may read Kapanos; the Pole, Molyl: there is also a Yiddish Big Stick ! aiming to rival Life In humor. There : is a Spanish movie magazine, a baking ! magazine in Yiddish, a Greek Em'por ! ion devoted to confectionery, and, of I course, a French fashion paper. The ! Japanese Nippon Jin parallels the Lit j erary Digest. Surely here is material to satisfy the most varied taste. o "The increasing scarcity of motor trucks, as well as the growing problem railroad transportation is bringing the importance of the modern truck itailer to the fore as never in the his tory of the country." declares K. D. iloi-rall, manager of the Bennett Lum ber company. ' The thousands of truck owners who have used trailers have found their transportation costs can be .ut one-half, and in many instances more, by the use of one or more trail-. I ers. The trailer is solving me naming ' problem in all parts of the country and ', this is particularly so in western ; America. "The demand for trailers today calls 1 for a type of construction equally as sturdy as the truck itself, owing to the wide use to which trailers are adapted i and the tact that every conceivable i kind of road must be negotiated. "It requires no argument on the part : of the trailer salesman to convince the i prospective buyer of the many excel lent features embodied in trailerized transportation. Many trailer users have found that they can haul ?! given i load, say 6000 pounds, which is the maximum caprcity of a three-ton truck, w ith a one and one-half-ton truck trail erized that is to say by distributing the load so that the truck is relieved of one-half its burden and by pulling one half the load through the draw bar, I the truck is able to move tw ice its rated capacity, and on good roads we find hat it is possible to even carry from two to four times the truck's capacity. , "Js an example of the increased profit possible by trailerizing, we cite the case of a construction company making deliveries of heavy loads of material. One of the concern's single trucks is capable of earning $25.00 per day gross from which the average oper ating costs of Jla.00 per day are de ducted, leaving a net profit of $10.00 each operating day. By adding a Utility trailer, the hauling capacity can be doubled with an increased expendi ture of about $2.00 per day; thus it is possible to earn a- revenue of $50.00 per day gross and deducting $17.00 ex pense, a net profit of $33.00 is obtained, making an increased net profit of over 300. "According to E. W. Bennett, presi dent of the Los Angeles Trailer com pany, 'Although our factory is operat ing at full capacity and the demand for trailers of all sizes is keeping our de livery department busy, we are able to make immediate deliveries to all our distributors. Our line of trailers now include 2-wheelers, 4-wheelers, semi trailers, lumber trailers and logging dollies, and our field of distribution ex tends from northwestern Canada to Lower California and from the coast as far east as Denver. Owing to the as sistance trailers are rendering in solv ing the transportation problems, and cutting the costs of cleliveries, the I'nitod States government is encourag ing their manufacture and we are able to secure an adequate supply of steel and other materials necessary in their construction. The United States gov ernment has adapted the Utility log ging dolly in the spruce forests of the northwest in hauling spruce timbers necessary in the construction of aero planes.' " The Los Angeles Trailer company is the largest trailer concern in western America and turns out perhaps more trailers than any concern in the United States. It operates a large factory on Palmetto street, Los Angeles, and has authorized distributors in all parts of the west. o The Southern Motor company has been conducting a class in motor truck driving under the direction of C. E. Stromberg. the manager of that con cern. They have just graduated a class of eleven, eight of them have already signed up for the armv in its recent drive for mechanics and drivers for immediate service in France. Mr. Strom-oerg. the instructor, has seen service on the border where he held the position of inspector of trucks tor General Pershing's army in Mex ico. V The vocational training in Arizona. ot which these classes are part, is un der the direction of I. Colodny. He is nanoung the emergency war training work. Classes in automobile repairing and driving have been in operation at the KisselKar company and McArthur urotners. The class at the high school has been discontinued by the health authorities. TRIED TO JUSTIFY THEIR POISON GAS ish by two brigades of French Colon ials, and wherever it settled men tumbled over, strangling, unconscious, dead. Only the superb valor of the Canadians, who held the reserve lines, gas or no gas, saved the Channel ports that cay. Mw that fake bulletin of the Ger mans illustrates a point: The Christ ian spirit, even most Christian forms, had died out of the governing class' that held Germany in its grip. Already were there whispers about the old Odin worship as a truly German religion, as a manlier faith than the effeminate re ligion of a Judean dreamer. But'they were only whispers. Christianity still held pretty strong in the populace, and the political philosophy of Christianity, which, so far as men had carried it. was the spirit of chivalry, demanded civilized warfare. That false com munique, though partly intended to keep the good -opinion of the neutral worlc was mainly Intended to justify the German military command before the German people. L Why Batteries Wear Out There are two reasons, the natural wear that goes on slowly, and the rapid wear due to abuse, as when you spin a cold motor, let the plates starve for want of a charge, or forget to add distilled water. Drive in and we'll tell you how to treat that battery so it will be full of pep, give better ser vice and postpone its old age. Use The Republican Classified for Results Read for Profit. Ads "OLD GLORY" FIRST RAISED AT NEWARK (Saturday Evening Post) The Hague conventions depended upon honor, that hazy margin of mor als beyond the law. And a power sat at the boards of The Hague that was soon to repudiate all honor, to work out the old fashioned Imperialistic idea of the state to its terrible but logical absurdity. The cricumstances of the first poison gas attacks at the second battle of Ypres will show how Germany went about this, and will laso serve as a text for my subsequent remarks. I was sniping for news at the British rear when that battle occurred; and now, three years afterward, I can pub lish some facts which censorships kept secret at the time. The French understood the possible uses of poison gas. Indeed, a certain French inventor had presented to the ministry of war a plan for employment of an especially deadly gas. The French looked his plan over, found it practicable, and rejected it on the ground that it was contrary to The Hague convention. The plan and the secret formula were kept by the war office against the the possible event that the Germans should throw civil ized warfare to the winds and make effective use of such devices. As for the British they had never considered poison gas at all. In the early days of April. 1915, a German private crossed No Man's Land and deserted to the British. Upon being questioned he said: "We are soon going to attack you with clouds of deadly gas. Pipes are being laid from Lille." Now prisoners, especially deserters, often spin fairy tales in or der to make themselves important or to get special treatment; and deserters sent over to plant some strategetic lie are not uncommon. The thing was so preposterous that the intelligence de partment paid no, attention to the story. A day or so later the German official communique contained two or three lines stating that the British had gained a temporary success on a cer tain sector by the use of deadly gases. Headquarters, I understand, was more amused than puzzled over this palpable wnole-cloth lie; the general staff took it a' a clumsy German attempt to slander the hated British. What it all meant became instantly apparent on the afternoon of April 9. Just as the sun was getting low an iri descent, greenish-yellow pillar of cloud, opalescent in the low rays, rose thirty feet over the trenches. It drifted down a light wind, settled like marsh gas on No Man's Land, reached trenches held in the midst of the Brit Let Us Test It For You.
