DEMAND PAY AT ONCE
FOR CARS GERMANS TOOK
Indignant Americans File Claims
for Autos Seized in War Zone
by Soldiers.

When the European war broke out sew
eral rich Americans who were touring
the continent in their automobiles hap
pened to be in the interior of Germany or
Austria. Several of them sought to make
flying escape in their cars from the war
zone, but their efforts to reach neutral
territory in that way were frustrated by
the action o. the authorities in COM
Wandering their machines for military
purposes.
The owners and occupants. however.
were not molested, but were permitted
to reach Ravens of safety the best way
they could. In most of these cases,
it is understood, the owners OF the cars
were given receipts for their cars with
the curt statement that they would be
paid for them when the war is over"
Demand Cash for Autos.
Although badly handicapped for
means of transportation the fleeing
Americans were glad enough at that
time to escape with their lives and SO
put up only a feeble protest over the
seizure of their cars.
Some of them who since have ar
rived safely in the United States have
filed protests with the State Depart
menL against the dlleSeu AlsH-HdHueu
action of the German and Austrian au-
thorities. and insist that they be recon-
pensed at once for their losses.
Secretary Bryan today said in answer
to an inquiry on the subject that there
may have been some such claims among
the multitude of all sorts of claims
already received at the department. but
he did not recall any at that moment.
They would follow the usual course
anyhow, and would be examined by
the solicitor and his assistants and re-
ceive due consideration.
Claims Are Routine.
Another official of the department. who
did not want his name used. said. how
ever. that the State Department at
present was more concerned in as
surfing the safety Of Americans in Eu-
rope and bringing them home than ii
was in negotiating for the payment of
claims for property. no matter how
worthy the claim. He added that it was
not usual to press war claims until after
the close of a war and he took 1t for
granted the United States would follow
that course in the present instance in all
ordinary cases of alleged property DAM
ages.

JENNINGS TELLS WHY
GIANTS SHOULD WIN
Saws McGraw's Club Is Sure to Re-
gain Stride, While the Braves
Falter.

NEW YORK, August 31.-Manager
Hugh Jennings of the Detroit Tigers
has faith in the ability of McGraw 10
win a fourth consecutive pennant.
IT stick to my old friends" said
Hughie, "and that is why am pulling
so hard for the Giants. I am not
overlooking the fact that Boston Is
very dangerous. No one appreciates
more than I the capabilities of George
Stallings Those who figure that the
Braves are going to split wide open
are seriously mistaken.
But this is why I figure New York
has a better chance than Boston. NC
Graw's team until a few days ago was
playing anywhere from twenty-five to
forty points below its normal form
Boston for six weeks has been driving
at one of the most sensational PAGES
ever attained by big league club.
A great many of its victories have
been shutouts. established by three
wonderful pitchers. 1t is not to be
presumed that this trio will be able to
go on Indefinitely holding all opposi-
ton to handfuls of hits daily .
Renewed Hope for the Giants.
II do not believe Boston is going
to break badly, but all that is neces-
sary for 1t to do is to falter. The
Braves cannot hope to better their
speed. New York cannot very well
fail to show improvement. With New
York it has been largely a case of
poor pitching. The return to form of
Mathewson and Marquard seems to
have given renewed hope to the flag
ging spirits of the champions.
Il think the fight will be between
New York and Boston to the end Of
the race. Both St. Louis and Chicago
will have to play the majority of their
remaining games away from home,
while their eastern rivals are at home
1.-The big fight will come no doubt
next week with the Giants in Bos-
ton. Then serious setback for either
Is likely to prove fatal

HIS EArhER,s SON.

the memory of a man who is dead,
however black his reputation may
have been. Here are a few pungent
from the sons defense OF
his father:

"Mr. Mellen is right in describ-
ing my father as a forceful man."
HE is right in picturing my
fathers deep interest in New Ha.

in New England and he believed
in the New Haven Railroad"
1.-THE imputation that my father
in any sense took the manage.

Who Will Share the =:
$4,000 In Big Race Meet?
SPEED FANS
HAVE EYES ON INDIAN
APoLIs, WHERE BIG 500
MILE SWEEPSTAKES WILL
TAKE PLACE TOMORROW.

What fourteen cars in the accompany
list Of forty!four will be disbarred at
the starting tape at ten o'clock on
the morning Of May 3Oth? That is
the question that interests every au-
tOmobile enthusiast. ..
Elimination Trials.
For the first time since the in
a%uguration of the 500-mile Indian.
apolis Speedway Race, three years
ago. the number of entries is SO
large that elimination trials must be
held for three days previous to the
event in order to reduce the field of
starters to the limit of thirty allow
ed by the Speedway management and
the American Automobile association.
Thirty speediest Cars.
Each contestant will be sent once
around the 2h mile speedway course,
and only the thirty fastest cars will
answer to the starters gun at the be-
beginning of the, 50O-mile race. 1t is
anticipated that the successful ars
will need to show a speed we'll over
eighty miles per hour in order to
qualify. What the acutal average
speed of the winner Of the big az
will be is a matter of speculation, but
it is certain that the Thirty cars
started will comprise an aggregation
of the fastest machines ever built.
A1though the restriction Of motor
sizes will be the same as last year.
$50 cubic inches of piston displace-
ment-it is quite probable that last
years place will be bettered, and it
may be that the speedway recojd
for the distance made by the winner
of two years ago will be shattered.
Success Of French Car.
The success Of a French car with
its French driver last year, has not
only resulted in the entry of the same
combination this year, but has in
duced several other foreign cars and
drivers of worldwide reputation to
cross the bcean bClely to- par.Kc.
ipate in this event. Prizes of $1,000
awarded in n race-together with
eight or ten thousand dollars in ad-
ditional prizes offered by accessory
manufacturers-are unknown on the
other side, and it therefore happens
that the best cars that man can
produce and the most expert drivers

sembled at Indianapolis. Some of
these twelve foreign cars have heen
credited with speeds Of 100 miles per
hour for short distances, but in a
500-mile contest, the race is not al
ways to the swift. Tire luck" counts
for much, and with this in mind the
designers have kept the weights of
their cars as low as possible, some
Of the machines entired barely tip
ping the scales at 1000 pounds.
Americans at Wheel.
Eight foreign drivers have been en-
tered to pilot 'the twelve Foreign
cars, so it is evident that four Ameri-
cans will sit behind the wheels of as
many cars from across the water.
