300 HUPPS USED BY ALLIES
Armored Motor Cars Given Rough
Usage in Reconnoitering Work
by the Warriors.
TRIP MADE TO OPPOSING LINES
The Hupp Motop Car company In Just
In receipt of a letter from John !' pool,
Hupmoblle export manaRrr at Paris, In
which he tell of mmt of the terrible con-'
ditins undrr whlrh' motor cars are
forced tt travel during war time.
Mr. . Toole arrived In France shortly
after the outbreak of the war. He Im
mediately received a commission from
the French (rovernment to construct a
numher of social armored flupTnoblles
enulpped to carry a fourteen-millimeter
mitrailleuse battery for rapid firework.
The sucrc-aa of the Hupmohllea wss so
(mat that the military authorities placed
an "order for a lanre quantity. According
to I'oole there are now enarly SOO Hup
irtohties In with the allied armies.
"These armored Htlpmobles., writes
Pools from Paris, "are used principally
for reoonnolteriner work. When a detach
ment wishes to find out Just the exact
t "dtlnn of the enemy on their front, one
of the Hupmoblle armored scout cars Is I
put Into commission. This car with a
complement of three men officers In
charge, gunner and driver, make a hur
ried trip to the tront and reports condi
tions. "Again when it Is learned that the
enemy has commenced an aggressive
forward movement, a number of Hup
moblles are rushed out to rover the.
enemy's front and Impede their advance
until the treopr can he sent to the battle
lines. It is In this Inst phase of the work
thnt the stamina and speed of- the Hup
mohileg has proved to great advantage.
"Not long ago when at Calais inspect
ing a squadron of Hupmobiles, tile com
mandant la charge notified me that one
of the cars -yvtm about -to make a) trtp to
the enemy's lines, and asked me if I
cared to Join the party. I was very'glnd
of the opportunity of seeing a Hupmoblle
In action and we started out.
"The car, which was one of the special
armored Hups, had Its full complement of
men, together -with' a big supply of am
mutlon and extra petrol and oil, enough
to last the entire Journey.
- Trarrrirn former Battlefield.
"The Journey to Dunkirk was unevent
ful for the roads 'all along h .way wero
guarded by" the Freaah..' . . IJppo - leaving
Dunkirk ,, forced t abandon the
highway and had.-to cut across a field
which-had lately been the scene of a big
battle... To ruaka matters worse a rain
had set in which made the field well
nigh Impassable.
"Deej ruts had been cut In the ground
by the heavy artillery, the driver follow
ing thee as best he could. I thought .wo
would-never Teach the end of this ter
rible, ftsld. but the Hupmoblle plowed
through and at last reached good roads.
"Earthworks were thrown up on either
side jf the road that made driving very
difficult. -But the driver paid no more
attention ' than if they were not there.
We sped along at forty miles an hour
over ruta,. railroad crossings, floundered
In puid up to the axles. ; t
"Tno drive back was made at night,
Tith 'onrythe side lamps burning. It Is
Inposrible tff describe the return trip.
During" the timet we were In the enemy's
trr'fary.w.nfcd Iul1 Ped ahead
so as rtot V tly& the enemy a chance to
sfop jite,'T; liulder to think what would

Advice on How
to Get Automobile
Out of Mudhole
In the April Issue of the Packard niag
astpe there appeared a bit ot advice to
eyxisltlon tourists on how to get out of
dcej) mud holes. It has been used by
the Packard engineers in their rross
k untry testing trips.
The method Is a modification of the
Spanish windlass and may be illustrated
by using some of the equipment found on
an' office dsk. Take a paperweight and
visualise it as your car engulfed In a
mud hole. Tie a piece of string to It and
attach the other end to any fixed object.
In the real emergency the fixed object
Is a "dead man." consisting of a stick of
timber burled In a long trench dug at
right angles to the direction of the pull
ing effort. At a point half way between
the paperweight and the "dead man' hold
hol a pencil upright. Take a second
pencil and loop your rope around 't and
turn on the first pencil as a windlass. At
once you'll find the paperweight moving
lrng Just as your car will. You have a
long lever and a short bight and the pull
is terrific.
In actual usage two pieces of five-foot
rips are substituted for the pencils. One
maybe smaller than the other, so the
pslr will telescope when not In use. A
length ot strong line completes the outfit.
Caution should be taken when uslr.g the
pipes to see that the one which Is stood
upright Is not shoVed Into the ground.
It -must be free to move along with the
winding up of the rope.
!YAR FOUGHT SAME OLD WAY!

BUT ONE POINT OF DIFFERENCE
ILLITERACY IN ITALY IS

(Correspondence .of Associated Press.)
ROME. April 1?. Those who are try
ing to reduce illiteracy In Italy report
steady progress. Since lf0l"the propor
tion of those who can neither read or
write, out of every 100 population, has
fallen from fifty-six to forty-three. The
smallest proportion of illiterates bv
regional division is found In Piedmont,
with 11.90 per cent, and the largest in
Calabria and the Islands, with 69 per
cent.. In Regglo Calabria province the
percentage runs as high as 70.8.
The male illiterates are In all districts
few than those of the other sex.. En
couraging as the progress Is,, fears are
expressed that the. Kuropean war will
detract somewhat from' thie Important

BUICK PULLMAN IS THE
LATEST WORD IN AUTOS
The Bulck Pullman car Is the latest
achievement of the Nebraska Bulck Auto
company. F. H. Barber of North Flatte
purchased a Bulck six In which to make
a trip to California this summer.
Mr. Barber says he would much rather
sleep in the car than in some of the
hotels, he would encounter on the way,
so-, by hinging1 the back of the front seat
It can be dropped to the level of the seat
and with an extra 'cushion he made to
fit between the back and front seats,
which rests on the two folding- seats you
have a bed which rivals that of the best
hostelry between Omaha and tha coast.
After Investigating all makes f of car
Mr. Barber found the Bulck six io ba the
best suited car for this purpose.

PERLTN. April ?-The complete revi
sion of many methods of warfare, which
even experts did not In the least sntle-
Ipate. are dismissed bv Major K. Moraht. I
retired. In a recently published article
entitled "The length of Battles."
No longer ago than 1912, Major Moraht
points out, (fcnoril von Bernhardt, In
"Time and Its Strategical and Tactical
Importance." declared that "the battlea
of the future need not be longer than
those of other Kuropean wars" an that
"one-day battles will be the rule, longer
ones the exception."
General von Bernhardt's conclusions
were based on studies of the Boer and
Russo-Japanese wars, among others, and
yet, within three years of their publica
tion. Major Moraht shows, the predictions
of the general have rroved to be wrong.
"We certainly will not defend ourselves
behind walls and trenches." wrote Gen
eral von Bemharil. and yet "we have
been doing Just that for more than six
months," says Major Moraht. 'To all
friends of the offensive and what soldier
is not Its friend It surely Is painful that
we no longer can "believe In a war
of movement and operation before we
think of one of Inaction."
"Wo must unlearn part of what we
had been taught, and we must cling to
the good old theories only In rase It shall
be proven that mistaken leadership led us
to adopt the method of long-continued
fighting In one position. The verdict Is
yet to come. It Is not the duty of tha
present to render It, but of the future."
In declaring that the battle of the future
would be only of a day's duration. Gen
eral von Bernhardt declared that the un
usual physical characteristics of the bat
tles In the Russo-Japanese war, taking
place In difficult country and around for
tified places, made It no criterion for fu
ture conflicts. And yet. Major Moraht
points out, trenches and the long-drawn-out
battle have been the rule from the
dunes of Flanders to the hills of the
Champagne and the mountains In Car
path la.
As differentiated from former wars.
Major Moraht declares, huge losses have
not necessarily led to decisive victories or
defeats. Borne "new Impelling force"
seems to have entered all the conflicting
forces. The general, commenting on the
methods of the Japanese In retreating
when fire became too accurate and return
ing to the attack later, predicted the
same In tho next future war. Yet, says
Major Moraht, the French have not lost
nerve in the face of terrible losses, the
Germans do not lack It in bloody of
fensive and defensive movements and
heavy sacrifices have not hindered the
Russians nor stopped them from return
ing to the attack again and again.
INSURES AGAINST DAMAGE
RESULTING FROM THE WAR
(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
BERLIN, April 17. A company offer
ing Insurance against damage caused by
tha armies at war, In Luxemburg, is tha
newest - outcome of the war. - Ruch-an
organization, backed by Berlin capital,
baa established headquarters In tha city
ot Luxemburg. It Insures against fir
and other destruction Incident to tha
Hero Colony is the
Latest Suggestion
(Correspondence of the Associated Press
RKRUN, April 15 -Dr. von m-thmann
I loll wok, Imperial chancellor. Is consider
ing the feasibility of a suggestion for the
establishment of a "hero colony" near Ihe
famous old Pforta school In South Prus
sia, of which he Is an alumnus, where
those maimed and crippled in the war
may take up their lire after It Is over.
The originator of the Idea is Paul
Kersten, head of a big factory In Bud
Koesen. He believes thst there will be
thousands of noble and patriotic girls and
widows of soldiers who, when peace is
concluded, will be glad to marry the men
who have been Injured and who other
wise would gravitate Into soldiers' homes
To prevent this Is one of the principal
objects of the proposed plan. Kersten
feels that soldiers In such a situation
soon come to feel that they are useless
and In the way, whereas they can con
tinue a useful and hapry existence If
they have their own homes and wives to
help rare for them.
Kersten believes that the loss of an eye
or a leg Is not a defect that In any way
affects future generations. If Injured sol
diers can marry und live In colonies In
stead of In homes by themselves, he
thinks that the birthrate will have some
of the Increase that Is to be necessary
after the war.

For Pride's Sake
Drive a Hudson This Year
For pride of ownership, for this is the class car in the
Light Six type. For pride in your judgment, because
12,000 owners have proved this car right. And for joy
in motoring that depends on fine engineerinig on free
dom from trouble, on lightness, economy and beauty.

. The Years at Stake
Remember the years at stake the
years you will drive your new car.
Any extra weight means a constant tax.
Any mistake In designing, any weakness
or ehortooming means constant trouble
and expense.
You know the Hudson is right. Any
owner can tell you. And 12,000 own
ers have driven this Light Six some 30
million miles. This is the only moaei
wnicn nas naa
of this new-day type

No Shortage Now
Last spring, thousands of men had
to wait weeks for thla Hudson. There
will be delays thla spring for late com
ers. They cannot be avoided.
But our winter output and trebled
capacity enable prompt delivery now.
You can get the car you want without
waiting. Come while this condition
lasts.
This year there are many Light
Sixes. Few are attempting to sell any
thing else above $1,100. But the de
mand for the Hudson Is greater than
when It stood alone. For Hudson waa
first. It has proved Itself out. It la
a Howard K. Coffin model. And our
years of start have given us time to
bring out perfection In this type.
You will prefer It for a hundred rea
sons which you can see yourself. We
urge you to prove this now.

'PHE lines of beauty are unmistakable
whether in statue, painting, typography
or a motor car.
"Those things are beautiful which are
completely adequate," says John Ruskin.
Its the complete adequacy of the Chalmers
that makes it a beauty.
(The lines of the Chalmers car are such as
to make them noteworthy even when con
trasted with finest foreign models.
Their streamline bodies possess a dis
tinctive grace.
There' are no fenders built whether flat
or merely crown that are as handsome as
the Chalmers molded oval fenders conform
ing with exquisite harmony to the clean
cut sweep of the body lines.
The doors are wide and flush-fitting, the
running boards are clear. The tires are
carried in the rear.
It is a woman's car in beauty, a man's in
performance, a child's in safety.
But there is only one way to observe
beauty and that is to observe it.
