T.T.TTFT? FSOM THE
EELCO LIGHT FACTORY
R. A. Bates,
Plattsmouth, Neb.
Friend Bob:
Am sending yon under separate
cover a program of the Delco Light
convention together with some con
vention literature, song book, trip
through the factory, etc., etc Day
ton is wonderful and "Delco" helps
to make it &o. Just think of a con
cern (Tiie Domestic Engineering
company) putting up the largest
one story concrete building in this
country for factory use and upo?t
its completion turning it over to
the I". S. eovernment and in 90 days
occupying quarters of even greater
capacity, built and pushed along by
that indoniinatable " spirit of push
which permeates the atmosphere
around here.
I wish Bob you could have come
along t; Dayton, as it requires a
professional pen to describe th?
largeness of every thing and every
body connected with this conven
tion. Mr. Grant, the general man
ager. Col. Deeds, Boss Kettering.
The big Dayton Eng. Lab. Co.. the
Delco starting and lighting concern,
which Mr- Kettering (the inven-
jlor of De-lco starter and Dlco Liglr )
is president and Col. Deeds. vice-prr:i-i
ident, the Domestic Engineering Co..
makers of Delco Light, of which Cl.
Deeds is president and Kettering is
vice-president and Mr. R. H. Grant
the general manager, whose effici
ency has made Delco Light the suc
cessful selling product it is.
Bob, it would do your patriotic
heart good to see the number of
aeroplanes Uncle Sam is getting
frcm the plant built for Delco light,
but now making planes and pars
for the famous Liberty motor, which
was partly designed by Mr. Ketter
ing, who designed and furnishes the
ignition system. Henry Ford fur
nishes the crank shaft for this great
est and most powerfully efficient
light weight engine ever made o
good that England, France and It
aly are discarding their own design
ed aeroplanes as fast as they can to
be replaced by Liberty motbrs. The
above facts have been somewhat
censored from the newspapers but
are public secrets here.
Saturday night the convention
closed with a banquet at the Miami
hotel, attended by over six hundred
guests. Among the speakers was
James M. Cox, Ohio's brilliant gov
ernor, whom I'd like to try and per
suade to give up his million dollar
home near Dayton and come to Ne
braska to help me and the Journal
sell Delco Light in Cass county. Ho
i:4 some orator, and to hear him talk
about the virtues of Delco Light and
the necessity of having Delco Light
on tiie farm, would, I am sure, per-
suade most any farmer to buy pelco
Light at once,, instead of putting it
off to the indefinite afterwhile as a
good many intend doing.
Well, Bob, I'll see you in about a
couple of weeks. Until then, with
Lest regards to the Journal force
and yourself.
Sincerely yours.

GERMANS PREPARE
FOR AN ATTACK ON
THE TOOL SECTOR
BUT AMERICAN COUNTER EAR
RAGE MADE THEM CHANGE
THEIR MINDS
Enemy Artillery More Active Than
Usual Americans Respond.
With the American Army in
France, March 2 8. What promised
to be a German attack on the Ameri
can lines northwest of Toul yester
day morning was broken up by
American artillery fire.
The enemy had heavily bombard
ed certain positions of the American
lines and then had sent a sweeping
barrage across No Man's Land. Ene
my trench mortars, firing from the
west, of Riobecourt, started a box
barrage and from enemy machine
guns came a rain of bullets.
The American infantry emerged
from their underground covers at
the proper moment and advanced to
meet the expected assault. Mean
while, the American artillerv had
started a counter barrage against
the German side of No Man's Land
and apparently this was effective for,
although the Americans waited, no
Germans appeared. What happened
on the other side of the line is not
known.
Enemy artillery fire has been
heavy and some shots were well
placed. The American gunners gave
the enemy .batteries a severe drench
ing with gas shells.
Unusual Activity.
There has been extraordinary ac
tivity behind the enemy line and in
his front trenches. "The Germans al
so have moved their batteries sud
denly and changed the direction of
lire, and the artillery fire has increas
ed. The American guns in the past two
nights have given most of their
attention to the German positions
where there is reason to believe the
troops were being relievd. Probably
much damage was done and the ene
my artillery fire has been of a retal
iatory nature.
American patrols entered the Ger
man lines last night at two points
near Richecourt and near Remieres.
One patrol picked up an officer who
had been left behind on the previous
night is front of the Germau posi
tions where he remained all day yes
terday obtaining information.
American '67 millimetre guns have
broken up an enemy observation post
by direct hits, demolished machine
J emplacements and deluged cne-
my dugouts.
Two irew observation balloons have
appeared behind the Germans lines.
One is on the right of Beney and the
other is near Woelille. Enemy cav
alry has been seen for the first time,
a number having passed, along the
road from Bouillonville to I'annes.
The enemy artillery is now firing
from positions at Lamaitresse, Ponce
wood and southeast of Esseyc.
This morning. an enemy balloon
near Montsec fell to the ground.
About the same time two airplanes,
one carrying an American observer
at the machine gun. chajsed off a
German airplane, while anti-aircraft
guns sent the other scurrying back
to his own lines.
