 that today the Germans will repeat their furious attempts

 find the northern route to Dunkrk and Calais impossible
 they may shift to the south with BoulOgne the object Berlin admits that the German advance to the coast has been halted at least for the present but it declares that
 the chief opposition has from the British warshps sixteen of which said by the Germans to be operating off the coast Engands interpretation of the news from the front this morning is cheerful and the hope strong that the enemy can take the coast cities opposite the southern English coast It is said that the guns can be heard from many points on the south English coast so near has the war come to this country

PRESIDENT MAY
 CLOSE MINES
SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TAX ING NEW AND EXTRAORDIN-
 AIRY STEPS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-PreSi- dent Wilson is now considering wheth- CT he has the power to close down the mines in Colorado where the strike has been going on and in which the operators refused to accept the terms of the president although the men ac- cepted them without the least heSita- tion. In answer to Mother Jones and the representative of the Federation of Labor the president stated that he would look into the matter and see if he has such power. He intimated that if the owners persist in their re- fusal to meet the men half way he will be vey much inclined to close the mines and so put an end to what he evidently believes to be tyranny. The chief objection of the owners to 'he terms is that the president insists that men have a right to strike and that they should not be deprived Of work when they do make an effort to secure better conditions.

The allied forces engaged in the battle according to the reports, were Axel Lindblad, Joe Reno and Mrs. Reno. It is also declared that guns were flashed and that Sullivan was ruptured.

Coming Show at the Grand
Central Palace VIII
TEEN with Many
Rehnements.

No automobile show of recent years
has produced as many novelties and
surprising improvements in design as
will be seen at the fifteenth annual
National Automobile Show, under the
auspices of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, which is to be
held in Grand Central Palace January
2 to 8. No transition from one season
to another has revealed such marked
strides in the matter Of equipment,
refnements of detail, new ideas in ac-
cessories, as well as radical changes in
design, as the coming 1915 season.
The war in Europe, coupled with the
Panama Pacific Exposition and the San
Diego exposition on the Pacific Coast,
conspire TO send tourists across this
country instead of out of il during the
next few months, and motorists are
looking forward to seeing magnificent
stretches of our own land by automo-
bile while on the road 10 the Pacific.
The "See America first" propaganda is
securing a strong foothold in the au-
tomobile world, and manufacturers are
taking advantage of the condition aris-
ing and have made their cars more
beautiful and serviceable than ever be-
fore, anticipating a boom in the sale
Of American cars during the next few
months.
While many Of the new features to
be sprung at the show are being kept
secret by the makers, news Of certain
OF these already has leaked out, and
in a number of cases the new models
already have been described in news

EUROPEANS IN AUTO RACE
Despite War Foreign Pilots
Will Be at indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Dec. 5.-Despite the
war, several European entries for the
next Indianapolis 500-mile race already
seem certain. Darius Resta. one of
the best of the foreign pilots, has
written the speedway management that
he, together with either Jean Chas-
sagne or X. Lee Guinness, expect to
bring over a pair of Sunbeams that
will guarantee some extremely fast
competition.
All three of the drivers mentioned
are ineligible for army service, and
hence will have no trouble getting
away. At present their only problem
is to get the consent Of Louis Coata-
len, the Sunbeam designer. to the vent
ure, which, however, they expect to
obtain with little difficulty.
A team composed of Resta and either
Chassagne or Guinness would be an
extremely hard one to beat. Resta
took second in the 1912 Coupe
de lAuto, in which Sunbeams finished
one, two, three and fifth in the last
French Grand Prix. Chassagne is
known the world over as holder of the
worlds hour record, while Guinness
leaped to fame as victor in the last
race on the Isle of Man.
The cars are the Sunbeams which
competed in the 1914 Grand PriX de
France. Showing a piston displace-
ment of approximately 216 cubic
inches. they come well within the linz
its prescribed by the speedway man
agement. They are capable Of speeds
up TO 10 miles an hour.

LYONS ATLAS CAR
in FRONT RANK
New Indiana Company IN
creases Its Cap
italiZatiOn.

indianapolis, Dec. 5.-Fortified with
one of the biggest and most complete
manufacturing plants in the word,
with ample capital at its command and
with a car that is said to be the most
sensational value thus far introduced
4 America, the Lyons Atlas Company,
4 Indianapolis, came TO the front to-
lay by increasing its capital stock into
he millions and promising to make the
industry look to Indianapolis.
j. W. Lyons, president of the Lyons
Atlas Company, refused 10 discuss the
type of car that his company would
build beyond the general statement that
il would set q new standard in mod
crate priced motor car value, and add
the one thing which builders of such
cars have so far neglected, namely,
style and easy riding.
IL has been rumored in the auto
mobile industry that the Lyons Atlas
Company would soon be a contender
for big business, and stories have been
current for the last year Of unidenti-
fed test cars with no name plate being
seen throughout Indiana and adjacent
states. These cars are now known to
have been Lyons Atlas experimental
cars.
President Lyons said:
The new car will be, above all else,
easy riding-a thing believed impos-
sible in small cars.
eve continue the Lyons knight,
which has been a car de luxe.
Further information the public will
receive at an early date.
Success in the automobile busi-
ness" Mr.. Lyons added, NOW hinges
on three essentials.
First, the man who builds the car
must be a real manufacturer.
Second, he must be real mer-
chant.
Third, he must have the consumer
ard the vast army of automobile deal
ers solid on the style, ease of riding,
quality and price of his car"
That an institution with the known
resources of the Lyons Atlas Com
pany, with its known engineering abil-
ity, with its plant Of sixty-tive acres,
operating seven miles of it's own rail
rCad-that such an institution would
in time concentrate on automobile
building has been generally conceded.
For forty years this concern has
been building engines and kindred
products. During the last six years
it has built motors for the Hud-
son, Stoddard Dayton, Jackson, Mason
and other well known cars.
