GREAT STRUGGLE Motor Lorry and Railroads of England Are Making a Fight for Predominance IN TRANSPORTATION Odds Said to Favor Former —Local Conditions Give Motors the Edge (By Edwin W. Hullinger, United Press Staff correspondent) London —(By Mail) —The motor lorry and the railroad are in the first phases of a life and death struggle for existence as the predominant means of transportation in England. The odds are in the former's favor. The next few decades, perhaps the, next decade, will determine whether England's internal commerce is to more largely by means of an elastic, all-encompassing motor transport system, or stick to the present railway system, connecting the larger distributing points. Transportation men in both camps admit that the fight is on. The issue really dates back to the big railway: strike in 1919 when the Food Ministry I webbed the entire island with an elab- i orate motor transport system which worked far in excess of expectations. That demonstration showed not only that a new method of transportation was possible but that on account of the peculiar topographical layout of i England, the new system might be even better adapted to the needs of' the island than railways. Motor advocates immediately got' busy on the development of a per- 1 manent system, first an auxiliary to 1 the the railways and later to enter ' into open competition, with the hope , of shoving them into the background ’ There are many local conditions in i; England which make the island a par-' ■ ticularly favorable test field for motor; transport. |; England is small. She has the finesti road systems in Europe. The average ■, haul is short. Most shipments are in . small lot, which account for the tiny I freight cars in use in the railroads.: The larger American box-cars would ’ 1 not pay because they would generally : travel half-filled. Controlling the world's greatest petroleum fields, Britain would be in a better position I to supply her lorries with fuel than > any other European country. It is upon these facts that the mo-' tor people predicate their predictions that the lorry will eventually shove the boxcar onto the sidetrack. A third means of freight transport , is also looming up in the form of can-' als. Next to Holland, England has' the finest canal system in Europe- It | already connects many of her largest cities and is capable of extension. Water always has been and still is by far the cheapest mode of freight con j veyance and England’s canals could ■ afford commerce an opportunity not to be ignored. Since the war certain big interests have become aroused to this possibility and important improvements are already in progress along the existant canal system. It will be extended and exploited in the future as a “third arm” of transport. Aviation doubtless will take overl much of the passenger traffic between I extremities of the island, such as Lon- - don to Glasgow or Edinburgh, or Belfast and Dublin, but for the most part England is too small to offer very great possibilities for the aeroplane as an agent of interior communication —in tlte immediate future, at any rate.

Englahd's place in aviation, according to experts, will be rather as an international air junction, where lines from all parts of Europe may con verge. In this, of course, she will encounter the active competition of France, who has the advantage of more central location. The French air compan ies have the further head start of a generous governmental subsidy. This latter has already enabled the French cross-channel air lines to put the British out of business in a rate war. When the Frenchmen recently pulled rates down to six pounds one way (less than $24), the Handley-Page and British Air company gave up in despair and trundled their machines back into their sheds. No English line is now carrying passengers by air. AUGUST WALTERS Plumbing and Heating 119 N. 1»t St. Shop Phone 207 Residence 507 * — '' —* FOR PAPER HANGING AND PAINTING, SEE BATE RAY.

A good attendance of the membership is desired at the annual meeting this evening, and the ladies want all to be present at the Dollar social on Thursday afternoon, and likewise the men at the club meeting on Friday evening. OLD DAYS AGAIN Were Back in Chicago Today Where Swish of Bar Towel is Heard REAL BEER WAS SOLI) But There is No TreatingPeople Wonder Where They Are Getting It (United Press Service) Chicago, April 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The “Good old days” were back in Chicago today. Real prehistoric beer flowed in the golden and frothing streams over the bars of most of the reformed saloons and the thirsty were drinking long and deep. Chicagoans, the malted species, were looping the loop from one case to another and lining up to bars which were three d»ep. The gush of bar towels and the loud confidential conversation between patrons gave the aspect of the “old days" with but one thing missing—the bowl of pretzels. “Drink up and buy yourself another,” was frequently heard. All of which means that treating has passed. Most drinkers now belong to the “Dick Smith club” —they buy their own and drink it. Beer, about six per cent, is selling for thirty cents a stein. One brew dispenser was asked how he got his supply. From behind his white apron, he replied. “We robbed the brewery. We are going to rob it on the first of each month. Have another stein?” ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦l* ♦ ♦ ♦ NEWS FROM COURT HOUSE ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazelle this morning states the Charles Feighter alienation suit has been sent to the Adams circuit court on a change of venue from the Alien circuit court.
