DEMONSTRATION
MADE BY GERMANS
(By Associated Press \

Berlin, Sept. Io.-One of the
accompaniment of the Europe
an war which would, under less
serious conditions, be fair SUBJ
ject for amused comment, is the
sudden rage that has manifest
ed itself against everything,
English, French and Russian.
This feeling has reached such a
pitch that French and English
pictures have been withdrawn
from public view at the Berlin
museums. In the Kaiser
Friedrich Museum, priceless old
books with wood engravings by
Gustave Dore have been with
drawn.
On the days following the
declaration of war by Great
Britain, groups paraded the
main streets and made demon
STATIONS before shops with Of
Tending signs. Many Ameri-
can firms, which advertised
branches in Paris and London
suffered. AT the corner Of
Liepziger and Friedrich street:
stands the Equitable Life In.
surance Company's building
Its first two floors sheltered the
Equitable Cafe, but this became
the "Zielka Cafe" on Augu,t
5th.
The Berlin Messenger-Boy
Company, whose English name
had long given offense to sturdy
patriots, is now the "Berline1
Boten-Juge Gesellschaft," ant
the messengers have beer
equipped with new headgear tc
replace the tiny Tommy Atkins
hat which they formerly wor.
on the side of their heads.
The movement is being car
ried to such ridiculous length.
that prominent newspapers ar,
now declaring the German.
should stop saying "adieu" up
on parting, a salutation that ha.
been in use since the eighteenth
century.

PAPERS PRINT ONLY
ONE SHEET
(By Associated Press

Paris. Sept, Io.-All Paris
newspapers ale printed on one
sheet only. The supply of pa
per is limited, most of the staffs
have gone to the frontier and
nobody cares for anything but
the war news. The police have
forbidden vendors to cry out
anything but the names of po-
pers so there are no shouts
about big battles and big losses.
There is far less yellow" or ex-
aggerated news in those papers
than in the evening papers in
London where the big battle
has been dressed up daily for
two weeks.

Stories of Interest From the
Cities of the Great Conflict

first DAYS of the war, such as
the report of French physician
irving to infect a well in Alsace
with typhoid bacilli, were Sc
cured by the German army OF
ficials with a view of bestirring
the people to watchfulness.
Stories like that of the infect
ed we'll were widely published.
Lakes all over the country
were being poisoned. Russian
automobiles carrying a great
quantity of gold were trying to
cross Germany from France.
The whole country was swarm
ing with spies.
The effect that these stories
had, for they we've generally be-
lieved, led to the shooting Of
many innocent persons, inclnd'
ing one German army captain
and great interruptions to t
progress of high army person
asas on important missions.
Tie chief of police in Stuttgart
issued the following official
statement to his men, showing
the effect of these sensational
stories.
"The populace is beginning to
become crazy. The streets are
full of old women of both sexes
who conduct themselves in a.
unworthy manner. Everyone
sees in his neighbor French
or Russian spy, and considers il
his duty to beat him, together
with the policeman who tries t.
protect him, or at least, to cause
; a tremendous crowd to collec
and hand the supposed spy owe
to the police. Clouds are mis-
taken for aviators, stars for air
ships, bicycle pumps for bombs
Telephone and telegraph wire
in the middle of the city are be
lieved to have been cut, bridge
blown up, spies shot and tn
water poisoned. 1t is impossi
bic to predict what form thes
extravagances will assume whe'
the situation becomes reall
more earnest. AS a matter c
fact, not a single suspicion
thing has thus far occurred i
: Stuttgart.
THE police should continu
cool. Be men, and not old VIC
men, do not let yourself b
duped, but keep your ewes opei
as it is your duty to do"

REPUBLICANS SCRAP

Ex-Gov. Deneen's place as leader
of the Republican party lies danger
ously close to the rocks today. He
has managed to get himself into a
nice row with Ed Brundage, who used
to be president of the County Board.
The scrap started in the 23d Ward,
in which Brundage lives and from
which he planned to run for the Re-
publican County Committee. The
County Committee proposes to name
a committee of 127, which is to pick
the slate candidates for the fall cleo
ton, so Brundage deemed it highly
necessary to get his hand in.
Deneen opposes Brundage's plans.
The ex-governor has made up his
mind he's going to have some one in
that ward who will listen to him with
close attention.

AS l understand it the people of
Chicago have voted three times in
favor of municipal ownership of
street railways, but is still a long way
from getting it. Even now the COM
panies are trying to make raid on
the public treasury and grab off the
city's SIS per cent share of profits on
the street railways, which would
stave off still farther municipal own
ership.
But it is easily possible for Chicago
to get quickly municipal ownership of
telephone system, and at compare
lively small cost. 1t looks to be as
Chicago's best chance to have prac-
teal test of municipal ownership of a
public utility.
Those who believe in municipal
ownership can help bring it about by
cooperating with the Penny Phone
League, of which Morton l.. Johnson
is president, and Horace B. Wild sec
rotary.
The avowed objects of this league
is to carry on a campaign to prevent
the Automatic-Bell phone merger.
To have the city take over the Au-
tomato plant and extend the service
throughout the entire city.
To have phone in every home at
ONE PENNY A CALL.
To give the city improved and more
efficient telephone service at reduced
rates, and operate the telephones for
the benefit of the people.
To better conditions in our political
and business affairs by placing this
natural monopoly in the hands of the
people.
The League claims municipal au-
tomato phone service will give
phone users the following ad-
vantages:.
A 1O-second connection: no aInoy-
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-06-11

make the mistake yourself; busy
signal will tell you the truth.
The league also claims that auto
mates are in use or are in contempla-
ton in England, Bavaria, Austria,
Holland, Australia, Norway and Ger
many, and the phones are manufac-
tured in Chicago-where they are lit
tie used because of the pull of the
phone trust.
In Europe in governmeht-owned
phone systems the average rate is
one penny call.
am giving Day Book readers this
information now, because municipal
ownership of the phone system is
sure to be vital public issue soon
and it means much to the people of
Chicago.
We can't expect much if any help
from the advertising newspapers, as
the phone trust is big advertiser;
and the papers never peeped when an
effort was being made to railroad a
deal through council by attorneys and
lobbyists for both phone companies,
by which the city would surrender it's
right to take over the automatic.

MOTOR
BECOMES POPULAR
Development Will Be Made Fea-
ture of Many Cars of Differ
emf Types.

Probably the most significant devel-
opment of the year will be the large
number of new small-bore motors dis
closed at show time. They will appear
not only in the small four-cylinder cars
that are so rapidly being disclosed. but
in skies and even Fights. All of which
means In a word, says Automobile Top
les. that within another twelve months
the public will have reaped an entirely
new harvest OF driving experience.
y good many arguments favor the
.theorv that 1t is best TO build an engine
with cylinders not too large and to run
ii at fairly high speed, obtaining what
power may be needed above the normal
capacity of four cylinders, by adding
two or four more. There are involved,
however, questions of carburetion. lubri-
cation, balance. and operation. that in
some respects are new both to the
American maker and the American
driver
The development is highly interesting.
particularly in view OF the general con-
viction of only a couple of years ago
that nothing further might be expected
from the popet valve engine. Apparent
Iy but one thing is certain with respect
to the growing prominence of the small
bore motor-that is. that a number of
makers are destined to be surprised to
discover how many other makers have
elghts in the shows.

recently came to this country from

sees a great many more women riding

Here a great many girls seem doubt
full about their ability 10 operate the
two-wheeler successfully, and are con-

TOUCHING FLYWHEEL
CAUSE OF GRATING
One Motorist Discovers Walking
Stick Slipping Through Floor
Started Noise.

Many automobile drivers will notice
that a scraping sound is heard when
the brake pedal is depressed and often
no explanation is given of this action.
In many cases II is caused by the pedal
touching the fiywheel or the sheet
metal covering for the hywheel. The
remedy consists in either filing a little
from the pedal or making the throw
shorter.
On a tour recently an expert driver
stopped his car and remarked something
terrible had happened and visions OF a
broken gearset, came to his mind. This
dream was occasioned by loud scrap
ing and then rafting sound coming from
underneath the car and an examination
showed II was caused by walking stick
having slipped through n hole in the
floor boards in the tonneau and dragged
along the road.
