"The motorcycle has not Only ful

says Captain-Louis Keene, an English
officer now in the United States on
special detail, who brings with him
, the most comprehensive and valuable
fund of information that has so far
reached this country concerning mo
torcycles in European warfare.
Captain Keene spent two years be
Bind and in the trenches in France,
and during most of the time was in
charge of a motorcycle machine gun
battery. That the motorcycle finds

King "Foursome" Victoria
When iVV. L Kllljr. King distributor,
, Mys "She s some boat," you wonder
whether be is enthusing about a sub
marine chaser or a Carter lake cruiser,
but the next utterance, which dispels
all doubt from one's mind, takes your
thoughts far out of the war tone to
a vision of hill climbing and triple
carhuretion. The so-called boat is the
King Eight "Foursome.".
It is a clever looking job and it sure
, does perform. Even if It does take
time to ,';j0y ride" the automobile
editor it is sometimes necessary to
prove one's claims. .
Reserve power is the cardinal virtue
of the. "Foursome" and to prove it
two demonstrations are being made
which will t significant to Nebras
kans familiar with Omaha hills.
From a standing start on the near
est railroad track at the bottom of the
West Fsrnam hill, starting in "high,"
the "Foursome" climbs to the sum
mit without a halt. -
Next is the Capitol hilt test, which
was accomplished with little more

Liberty Man Secures Many'
' New Orders in the West
E. J. Kilborn, sales manager of the
, Liberty Motor Car company of De
troit, spent Friday with W. M.

Mr. Kilborn was returning from a
tour of the entire west and stated that
his mission was merely to determine
the feeling among distributors regard
ing the war. Distributors at California
points and other places assured him
that so far as they were able to see
there was no let-up in business and
gaye Mr. Kilborn very satisfactory
orders. When he left Omaha he had
n additional order tucked in his
pocket ' . - .
Mr. Kilborn advises that the Lib
Jh'j01?' Caf company had 76S un
filled orders. While this does not
sound very large, as compared to the
statement of some of the extremely
producers, in view of the fact
that this is only the second year of
the Liberty car, it is a remarkable
showing. t

Marmon's departure from old forms of construction is
well exemplified by its pronounced simplicity And unrivaled
Jight-weight. Fully equipped for travel, it weighs a half
ton less than comparable cars.
Pick out a rough road in this
locality and drive the Marmon
over it at any touring speed.
Even the heaviest of the major
class cars cannot equal the com

Scientific construction, inter-

parts; these structural parts are
live working parts.
