LICENSED UNDER
kARDO PATENTS
ACTION OF PACKARD COMPANY
WAS AWAITED WITH IN
TEREST.

With the news that Packard cars
are fully licensed under the impor-
tant patents Of the kardo company,
patrons have expressed Il keen In
terest in the developments which have
led up TO this announcement.
For some time past three prom
inent manufacturers have owned the
broad patents covering the front and
rear axle constructions generally in
use. There has been talk of Htisa-
ton among these manufacturers. but
they have wisely adjusted matters by
mutually exchanging licenses lnder
these axle patents.
The agreements providing for In
terchange of patent rights were fol-
lowed by the incorporation of the
kardo company, which owns now all
the patents directly involved. Other
concerns wishing to avail themselves
of licenses under the kardo patents
now have the opportunity to do so.
The Packard company has always
endeavored to lead in the matter of
original research work. and has been
diiigent in obtaining patents covering
the results of its inventive efforts.
That company today owns more than
two hundred patents and in addition
has nearly as many pending in the
patent office. AS one of the three
concerns which organized the kardo
company, the Packard is licensed I'M
der all the Kardo patents. This not
only strengthens the position of the
Packard company. but gives to pa
irons additional security against pat
ent litigation.
Carriage OF New Design.
An enclosed carriage of an entirely
new design has been added to the
Packard line, making a total of TWEEN
ty-one body styles for either the %
3S" or AS" six-cylinder chassis.
The new style Is known as the Salon
brougham, three window type, and
carries four passengers.
While the new body follows the
general outline Of the Packard six
passenger cars, with sloping roof. mar
now body and square corners. the
smartness of design Is accumulated
by an extremely low roof and three
spacious windows. The effect is
strikingly different from that of the
more conventional types.
Eliminating one window has had
the effect of increasing the width of
the doors. Free entrance to the 'front.'
seats is afforded from either side.
The front seats are of the individual
type. with a passageway between.
The seats are built exceptionally low,
promoting a most comfortable driv-
ing position. The Packard Salon
brougham Is described as a particu-
larly smart equippage for the owner
driver.

GOVERNMENTS THIN SKIN
Saxony Warns the Berlin TaGebiatt
Not to offend II Again.

BERLIN, March 2s.--How some Ger
man governments try to suppress hos
tile criticism was revealed in an In
teresting debate in the Saxon parlia-
tment at Dresden this week.
Saxon patriots were aggrteved at
certain remarks in the Taeeblatt's ac-
count OF the unveiling of the great
Battle OF the NATIONS monument at
Leipsic last autumn, and agitation was
forthwith organized with view 10
prohibiting the sale of the paper on the
Saxon state railways.
A formal resolution to that effect
was introduced in the Dresden parlia-
ment by the Conservative party. In
the course of the debate the Saxon.
finance minister announced that the
government gravely disapproved or
the article in question, had so In
formed the editors of the Tageblatt.
and had warned them that IL the of
Tense was repeated the sale Of the
paper would henceforth be prohibited
at all places over which the Saxon
government had Jurisdiction.
The minister added that there Was
at present no need of resorting to
such primitiye measures. and the Con-
sentative resolution was accordingly
defeated by big majority.

Perhaps the most important consd-

weight. Excessive weight would
make II compare unfavorably with a
regular open body, reducing the speed
of the car. adding wear to the tires,
etc. In comparing the convertible
body with an ordinary body equipped
with top and wind shield it will be
found that the additional weight is
very slight, fifty to seventy-fve pounds
on the average and in some cases
actually lighter, brought about by the
skilIful design and refinement of de-

pleasure instransmitting herewith for
your Information a copy OF an opinion
dated September 2, 1914, by me attor-
ney-general of theUnitedStates
The national forest reservation COM
mission has authorized the purchase
of approximately 125.O00 acres OF land
in Tennessee affected by the question

has been holding in abeyarG' reports
on titles in this area pending the rem

TIE question referred to in the above
letter was with reference to titles 10
lands ceded to the United States by

the attorney general is lengthy one,
but it is summed up as follows:
Il am therefore of opinion that the

make the grants in question AMI that
valid title may be deraigned there

There has been a great delay in
taking over lands by the forestry ce-
partment, some of which were pur-
chased nearly two years ago. The

been an exceedingly difficult one, but
since the decision of the attorney gen.
eral, the work will now be expedited

payment will soon be made to the ven
ders. Negotiations for another large
tract in Sullivan county are favorably
proceeding, and 1t is believed that

Mr.. Naon pointed out u.zs his
country was the first to strive for
the success of a formula establishing
compulsory arbitration without linz
itations, proc1aiming and defending it
in all the deliberations OF fnterna-
tional congresses and conferences In
which she has participated, and fin
ally including it in the numerous;
treaties of arbitration which she has
entered into between 1899 and the
present date. In all of them the fol-
lowing clauses have been inserted:
THE contracting parties agree to sub
NIT to arbitration all questions OF any
nature that may arise between them,
provided they do not affect the pro-
visions OF the constitution of either
state, and cannot be settled by direct
negotiat ions.
Pointing to broad International
