BARS PASSENGERS FROM BRITISH SHIPS Traffic to America and Trance Suspended to Make Boom for Soldiers and Supplies. HNLAXD AKRIVZS SAFELY New York, Feb. 28. Reporti that passenger traffic on all British ves sels leaving England for America and France has been suspended were brought here today by passengers who arrived on the steamer Finland, the last American line boat to leave Liverpool and the third unit of this fleet to sail from that port after Ger many's proclamation of unrestricted submarine warfare. James F. Egan of Philadelphia and Robert Wilson of New York, Euro pean representatives of large Ameri can business interests, said that be fore leaving England they had been informed on what they considered re liable authority that the Britisl. ad ' miralty had decided to employ all vessels, passenger carriers as well as freighters, solely for transporting sup plies or moving troops. Hay Maroon Americans. Scandinavian and Dutch passenger ships to America no longer stop at British ports, but avoid 'the subma rine zone by making Halifax their port of call. Consequently, if the re ports of the Finland's passengers is correct, no passengers can now reach the United States from England un less American liners sail from this country to fetch them. Cole Production Is Increased and Car is Improved In addition to increasing the pro duction of the Cole Motor Car com' pany from 5,000 to 10,000 cars for 1917, A. F. Knobioch, 'general man ager of the Cole concern, has left no stone unturned in adding to the qual ity of the product. An analysis of the Cole product snows mat ii em bodies the recognized best units available. "As a result of the careful study and experimentation which haa been , carried on the Cole Eight motor has been brought to a state of perfection that nrecludes trouble." says Mr. Knobioch. "It is a model of sim plicity and accessibility. Its carbur- lzauon system rciuBuieu i"v best so far in multifile cylinder de signing. Its lubrication system is absolutely positive. The Cole Eight , chassis has been mentioned as the Best example oi careiui designing in the V-tyoe multiple cylinder ...Id. And with the Cole company concen trating all of iti attention to the pro - duction of this one chassis, it is des tined to be brought even to a higher level. "A definite policy has been laid down by the Cole not to change models spasmodically. It is going to continue to build its present model indefinitely. Into its construction will be brought the improvements best known to the industry in the way of minor details and refinements as they are proved practicable from time to time. But in its fundamentals the Cole Eight will remain the same. An assurance of this kind means much to the buyer of motor cars." Morrell & Co. to Distribute Maxfer Ton Truck Maker H. B. Morrell & Co. of Omaha have taken over the distribution of the Maxfer Ton Truck Maker in Ne l braska and western Iowa and are ex hibiting this attachment in the Scott, Omaha Tent and Awning company's salesroom directly opposite the audi torium.

"The results obtained from this year's shows have been far better than we anticipated," Mr. Jones said last night. "The eastern shows proved highly successful, particularly the New York show, which netted us over $963,500 in orders. The western shows are keeping up that pace in proportion and we expect to get some ' what more than our share at the Omaha dealers' show." Davis and Williams to Promote Holstein Cattle B. B.

Scarlet Fever is Quite Prevalent in The Public Schools The medical inspection department of the public schools reports that dur ing February, thirty-four .children were stricken with scarlet fever. "Whil; this number indicates a orev- alence of the disease, we would not say it is an epidemic. The nurses are working overtime, examining the schools and isolating an cases ot doubt, stated the assistant superintendent. Several of the children recently stricken attend Park school. Moon Sedan at Show is The Very First of Its Kind One of the very classy cars to be exhibited at the Omaha Automobile show is the Moon Six-66 sedan.

N.Y. .Union Pacifio Has 7,500 Loaded Oars at Ogden Billed to Eastern Points. raurr trains ruk on time While officials of railroads operat ing to the east assert that under the agreement entered into by the presi dents of the lines, acting in conjunc tion with the Interstate Commerce commission, there is something of a break in the freight car congestion,, there is no evidence apparent to in dicate that available empty cars are more numerous than a week ago. However, the railroad freight men cling to the belief that the car short age is- in a way to adjust itself and that within a month or so the ex pected relief will be at hand. The Union Pacific has made a sur vey of the situation on the west end of the line and it is found that at Og den 4,000 loaded freight cars that came in off the San Pedro and Cen tral Pacific are held for eastern des tination. At the same time there are held in the Ogden yards and at nearby points 3,500 loaded cars off the Oregon Short Line. Headed for Omaha. The cars on the Union Pacific are loaded for Omaha and points east and as a rule they consist of lum ber and grain. When these cars will move out is uncertain. The "Union Tacific could handle them and get them off its line, but this does not hold true with connecting linr at Missouri river terminals. These lines still hold the embargo on shipments to points beyond Chicago and conse quently they will not accept the busi ness from the Union Pacific. Consignments from the west com ing to Omaha and points along the line out in this state and down into Kansas are hurried out of Ogden after being received from connecting lines and deliveries are being made on schedule time. Fruit trains are coming: through on time and even east of here are not subjected to much delay. The same holds with reference to the handling of all perishable freight and meats.

LINCOLN OMAHA SIOUX CITY The Clear-Cut Issues Between others and the HUDSON SUPER-SIX Don't confuse them. No other Six is like the Super-Six. The distinction lies in a Hudson invention. That invention applied to a Six of the finest type increased its efficiency 80 per cent So the difference is tremendous. No Eight or Twelve has anywhere near matched the Super-Six in performance. That's why those types have not been more adopted. The Super-Six holds all the worth-while records. It has proved supremacy in every point that counts. ' It ie now the largest-selling fine car in the world. Never before has a single maker brought out such a dominant feature. That is why so many rivals seek to cloud the issue. They say you don't want a racing car. You don't need such vast reserve power. You are not going to drive across conti nents, so those records do not count. A Light, Simple Six But note that the Super-Six is a light, simple Six. Other Sixes have a same-size motor. We have not added size or cylinders or complications to attain our end. What we have done and all we have done is to eliminate most of the friction. In that way only we attained the speediest stock car in the world. And the most power ful stock motor, size for size, that was ever built. Would you have less power, less speed, because of greater friction? Or would you have that friction ended, and use what power and speed you need. ' The After-Cost The question is not one of power or speed. It's the question of after-cost. . Friction in the motor causes wear. Wear destroys the bearings and the parts. It re duces car life. It leads to noisy motors. The Super-Six records were won by en durance. Its greatest supremacy showed in the 24-hour record won by 52 per cent. 'And in the 7000-mile round trip from San Francisco to New York. There it twice broke all the transcontinental records. Any argument against such showings is an argument against endurance. The yar of Types In the war of types between Sixes, Eights and Twelves the Super-Six has won. Every record shows that. The ended trend toward V-types also shows it The light, simple Six the ideal type again holds ruling place. Not the type that used to rule, but the Super-Six. It is evident today that the Super-Six is the only permanent type. Today it comes in bodies of the most luxurious sort. And with a new gasoline saver a radiator shutter which means much added economy. We urge you to prove these things before the season when demand will far exceed the output.
