N. 1" jPi,
Cargo space to France, one of the most serious problems America and the Allies have to face, has been solved as far as the army's new standardized motor truck is concerned. A motor truck usually occupies 1,000 cubic feet of space. The new, truck, "Truck B", designed by engineers representing many automobile and truck manufacturing companies who gave their service to the government without charge, is so made that it can be taken down and stored in a space of only 250 cubic feet, one-fourth the usual amount. Another saving in transportation which the new truck is producing is in that it is delivering itself instead of waiting for the railroads to carry it. Fleets of the truck, now being produced by the thousands in 14C
plant3 are moving across the country to the posts where they are to be used and to points of embarkation. These fleets are under command of United States army officers, all experienced in motor trucks and are manned by skilled privates serving as drivers and mechanicians. The overland drives are used as a test for the men as well as for the mi i i '
wucks. ine omcers go aiong as observers only and make no suggestions, leaving the men to work out their own problems as they would have to do under actual war conditions. Recently, a fleet of twenty of the trucks was brought overland from Lima, Ohio. Ten of these were for Camp Meade, Md., and ten for Camp Devens, Mass. The twenty traveled together as far as Baltimore. Th
army rMachment which brought the
trucks across the roads was composed of a captain, two lieutenants, six sergeants, nineteen corporals ana seventeen privates. They left Lima at 7:30 in the morning and at 2:30 in the afternoon, eight days later, they arrived at Baltimore with every truck in perfect condition. The truck which represents the combined judgment and experience of leading motor truck engineers, is reported to be a complete success. It will soon be carrying supplies to our troops at the front lines in France. ..

JAPAN LOYALTY
IS REAFFIRMED BY BARON GOTO
New Foreign Minister in New Pledge to Offset Foe Propaganda. CBy Associated Press.) TOKIO, Saturday. April 27. The change in the foreign ministry implies no alteration of Japan's policy in the war, Baron Goto said today. The baron has actively taken over the work of the foreign office. He held a reception today for the chiefs of departments and received their congratulations, smilingly, although betraying the strain consequent upon a recent bereavement, coupled with the heavy demands which have been made upon him owing to the illness of both Premier Terauchi and Viscount Motono, his predecessor at the foreign office. Propagandists at Work. "In this day," the baron said, "there should be no need of a declaration by the secretary for foreign affairs of one of the nations allied in the common cause for which we have taken up arms and for which we are pledged to stand together until victory and peace have been secured. "Nevertheless, I recognize the importance, especially at this time, of guarding against insidious propagandists who are particularly busy when there is opportunity and distrust. "I therfore welcome this opportunity to declare through the Associated Press that there is no foundation or truth in the sugestion of a change of policy or of a lessening of loyalty to all engagements on the part of this government because of a change in personnel which is due solely to the regrettable illness of the former minister of foreign a airs. Seek China's Friendship. "We seek the friendship, co-operation, and assistance of China. We ask China to disentangle herself from the old prejudices and maze of intrigue planted and fostered by the enemy. We feel that the Chinese government now understands the entire friendliness of Japan. "Japan must give encouragement, assistance, and support to the work
of reorganization in Russia. We trust the sound sense of the Russian people will not be misled by reports calculated to keep the two neighbors apart."
LITTLE GIRL
J
Continued From Page One. the home of Captain Michael, "I never did wash all over." The court awarded the child to the Salvation Army captain and she was taken with them to Ashland, Ky. With the true gypsy desire for vengeance, the gypsy caravan followed, but did not reach the town until Captain Michael and his family were leaving it. The Salvation Army leader next went to Lima, O.. and again the gypsies followed. When the family returned from church one Sunday, they found that chloroform had been sprinkled heavily about the house during their absence, and a glass filled with carbolic acid had been left standing in the cupboard. Gypsies had been seen about the place, but the police were unable to locate them. Captain Michael believes that the tribe will follow him to Indiana, and lives in constant fear that the gypsies will recapture the child, or will attempt to harm members of his family. Dees Not Know Age. ! Elsie dees not know her age, but !
When she was sent to school she showed abolute ignorance of letters, but her knowledge of money, instilled by gypsy instructors, was unusual. She was not at home in school, and found it difficult to learn the things that other children are taught at home. Captain and Mrs. Michael have conducted a tireless search for the child's parents, but although many applications have been received, frora persons who claimed to have lost a child that resembles her, none of them was able to convince Captain Michael that they were the parents. Gypsies of other tribes have attempted to get the child, he said, by claiming parentage, but have been unsuccessful. The girl is dark and small, and is thought to have been of Italian parentage. Captain Michael states that he intends to keep up the search for the girl's parents, and hopes at some time to be able to locate them, who probably have been mourning the child as dead.

False Teeth May Prove That Merchant is Dead (By Associated Press) WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., May 2. A set of false teeth found off the Florida coast is the clue through which efforts will be made in the surrogat's court here to prove that Joel Mason Bruen, a retired merchant, whose will was filed yesterday, is dead. Bruen sold out his business here and started for Florida Nov. 20 1917, to buy a farm. He is known to have been on board a steamer which left New York that day. He never reached Florida and there was no trace of him until a set of false teeth, recovered in Florida waters, were indentifled as his. The presumption is that Bruen fell overboard and was devoured by sharks. Mrs. Catherine B. King, a sister, and named In the will as the executrix, filed the will. Bruen is said to have left an estate of $30,000.
