Every Way and Now Recognjzed as Perfect Pro ductIn Demand In England. BALKAN DRIVE 10 EXPEL HUN 0M IA Albanian Offensive By Allies Believed Beginning of Campaign for Re coemption of Serbia Program Is First to Clear Aibnia Then Apply Pressure From Salonika. CLEVELAND, July ' 17. There have been rumors regarding aircraft affairs of curtailed output, of failure of the Liberty motor, of fabulous pro. fits being made and of every possible disaster and phenomenal success one might imagine. As to aircraft affairs, Ray Sher man, editor of Motor World, sayB: "We have been somewhat misled by over-optimlBtic statements a year ago. There may have been delays in the rapidly put together Industrial machine that was to turn out aircraft but when one gets dowu to the facts one finds that the Liberty motor Is a success and not a failure and that the aircraft production Is further along than It was believed that America could be at this time. Big Production Oiuntiy "One thing should be remembered In connection with American Indus try: America is a big production country, which means that millions ox aoiiars ana weeks or time are spent In tooling up and getting ready, but once her plants get ready they are in position to turn out things at a 'rate of which Europe never dream ed. ' Some of the delay in aircraft pro duction may be due to incompetence and confusion because of the speed necessary, but much of It Is due to . tooling up and could not have been avoided with the most efficient organization."' "The Liberty motor," said Al Reeves, executive secretary of the Automobile Chamber of Commerce, at the dealers' meeting here, "is ad mitted by Prance, England and Italy to be the most perfect and wonderful motor ever produced. It is the worn of the best engineers In this country and they are building airplanes now with three of these motors In them which will carry the message to Ber lin we have for so long wanted to send. Auto Factories Busy As to automobile factories, some of them are engaged almost entirely In war wom. Some have erected large extensions in order to take care of government contracts and regular work, too, so far os labor and materials permit. The fuclorles have taken all the government work that Is available and hare room for more when ready. "As to materials, the situation has become Indefinite. Officials have stated that the motor car factories can have but little steel. On the oth er hand the steel people have said that, with a budget of government needs It) hand, It will be possible to do good service to all In supplying steel, but the budget has not been forthcoming, so the steel question is unsettled." Standardization Aids The automobile factories are put ling government work ahead of everything else. Standardization of parts In airplanes has helped won derfully In speeding up aircraft pro duction and it is stated by officials that when the crates of planes are re ceived "over there" It Is not neces sary to match up different parts In the same way that they are put to Reiner in this Country. The parts will go together because they are Interchangeable, and It Is recorded that In the space of two hours from the time of receipt or planes In France, a plane has been put to gether, the engine started and the plane flown. Howard E. Coffin, former head of the Aircraft Construction board, re cently stated that In England, after over three years of war, In a plant where over 10,000 men are employed but 50 engines per wek and having 50 horse-power less than our Libert motors, are being built, while In this country, within 120 daB several plant will be t rnlng out from 50 to 100 motors per day. " With these facts known It becomes more convincing that American In uusiry is going a long way towards winning the war. LONDON NOW SAFER AGAINST AIR RAIDS l.nXDOX, July 17.-Muj.

LONDON', July 17. The Vrnnkn Italian drive in Albania mid Macedo nia is now' occupying the nttentinn ol' military critics second only to the offensive on (he western front. It is the general belief Unit the of fensive is more than u series of small attacks Unit it is, iu fact the begin ning of an allied eniiijiui'jn for the redemption of Serbia. The fighting since the drive bej;nn on Monday bus been done mostly by the Italians, on the western end of the buttle line stretching from the Adriatic to the Aegean sens. It is expected, however, that within the next few davs the allies will extend the scope of their offensive to the' east, and the Serbian, French and llritish troops holding the line be tween Monastir anil Saloniki will at tack the Bulgarians in force. Monastir has been held by the lit tle Serbian nnnv since it was recap tured in lllKi. The strongest posi tions held by the Austriuns are just north of the city and about Lake Doiran. Albania to I to Cleared The allied eanipuign has been di rected first townril clearing Albania of the Austriuns, driving them back toward the Serbian border. When tins is accomplished the Teutons will be objected to increased pressure oppo site Monaslir and on their right wing along the Serbian border. This will force a retirement along n lino of more than 200 miles, and, if pressed by the allies, will compel flic ustruins and Bulgarians to full back along the whole front. The offensive has been tressed with tKe same vigor that uiurkeil the Ituliiiu counter iiltncks in Venetiii Inst month. An Albanian army, tin ier Kssud I'aslui, has given valuable did to I he Itnliiins licciiusc of its in timate knowledge of the difficult country. Austrian Line Weak The center of the line is held by Montenegrin-, Serbians and French troops, while the British, aided by Greek detachments, arc holding the right flunk toward the Aegean. The rnpidilv with which the Aus triuns fell back along the liivcr Scui- it before the initial advance indi cates that their line was thinly held, probably having been weakened by moving troops to the Italian front for the recent offensive there. The allies have taken advantage of this fact, as it was expected they would. A continuation of the drive will force Austrin and German v to withdraw troops from France and Italy to re-enforce their armies iu the Balkans. Bulgaria can he counted on for but little further help, as most of its n nil v already is in the line. Turkcv niuv be called on by the Teutons, however, to help the Huns hold Serbia.

One im portant nsi for fruit juices is iu the niakintr of jellies at a time of year when sujiar or its substitutes may he more plentiful and when it is more convenient to do the work. In this way freshly made jellies uiav he available all through the winter. Fruit juice may he pressed out of fruit by means of a cider "n's, !' I'ial fruit pres, ur oilier improvised presso; then heated in nn acid proof kettle up to 110 degrees F. The fruit juice may then he poured into ordin ary hot jars, hot bottles, or tin cans, and handled by the same directions as those for cunning of fruit itself. If porned into miscnllaueous bodies, it is suggested that the fruit juice he sterilized as follows; Make a cotton stopped and press into the ne-R of the bottle and leave during the sterilization period. Set bottles in boiling water up to the neck of the hot lie, sterilize the fruit juice for 40 minutes at a tempera ture of Km degrees F. Kemove the product, press cork in top over cot tun stopper immediately. If the curt; fits well, no paraffin need he used. If a poor cork, it m:iv he necessary to dip the cork iu a melted solution uf wax or paraffin. Fruit juices anl apple cider when handled iu this wji,1 will not "flatten in taste" and will keep fresh for future use. HUN REVOLUTIONISTS Lander, Wvo.; John Tcsro.
