PreS't Wilson Sees No Immedi-

to Reconcile European
BeiIigerentS.
GERMANY'S DEMANDS
THE GREATEST OBSTACLE
France and England Not Dis
posed to End War While
HOnOrS on Field Rest With
TeutOnS, Say Advisors.
BY John Edwin Nevin.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. - Pres't
Wilson sees no immediate possibility
for a move 10 reconcile the European
belligerents The time may come
soon. however, when he can act and
consequently. he will hold open the
suggestion of his holiness, Pope Bene-
diet that concerted action by the
neutrals should be taken and th,s gov
ernment renew its original offer OF
mediation.
The great obstacle TO peace at the
present moment is the determination
of Germany to retain certain of the
territory she now holds and to insist
that certain indemnity be paid and
the united sentiment in France and
England that to consent to any peace
plan while the honOrs all remain with
Germany so far rs the land fighting
is concerned. would mean "a renewal
cf the conflict within comparatively
short time.
This was learned from the pres
idents closest advisers. Within the
last 10 days he has received summar-
les of the result of confidential in
qufries instituted by Ambassadors
Marye at Petrograd; Gerard at Ber-
lin; Penheld at Vienna; Sharp at
Paris. and Page at London. They are
understood TO agree in substance that
the opportune moment for any sug-
gestion of mediation is not the pres
ent one. In fact both Ambassadors
Page and sharp have declared that
England and France would consider
a suggestion of mediation at this
time as unfriendly.
President is Willing.
However. no attempt is made to
minimize the great influence of the
vatican throughout Europe. The
resident verv frankly told Cardinal
Gibbons that he was ready to initiate
any peace move that gave promise of
the slightest success. He made no
formal reply, however. and intends
feeling out" further all of the bel
ligerents to see whether there is not
possibility of suggesting some enter
ing wedge for an agreement
Cardinal Gibbons is understood to
have told Sec'y Lansing that the
'nited States must initiate the move
meut. The vatican is handicapped by
its isolation through Italy's participa-
tion in the war. The smaller neutral
powers practically are without infiu-
ence he said But this country, by
reason of it's strong economic posi-
tion is represented every beIligerent
nation, easily could start peace
movement without having its motives
misunderstood
Although officials do not expect i'm
mediate acton because of existing con
ditiOns in the theaters of war. il is

DOUBLE SEAL Tire
VALVE Being MADE
New Device Eliminates Many of
Trials of Autoists and
Saves Tires.

Announcement has been made of the
formation OF the Double Seal Tire Valve
Company. incorporated, with offices at
1870 Broadway. New York City. The COM
pany recently has been incorporated un-
der the laws of the State OF Delaware for
SI5O,OO0
The newly formed concern has the sole
rights to manufacture and market a dou-
ble-seal tire valve. which has been found
TO be most efficient under unusually try
ing conditions Leaky valves cause many
Inconvenience and delays while motor
ing, either for pleasure or for business,
and they also shorten the life of a tube.
This new valve has one strong point in
its favor over the single seal valve. With
the double seal attachment, leakage Is
entirely eliminated. The effective strength
OF the upper seal is REINFORCED by the
lower seal, which is packed beneath :he
lower collar in the shell. Another point
which makes 1t superior to other valves
is, that by the screw top cap used on the
double seal valve. it Is possible to remove
the cap in much less time than the caps
used on other valves, thus saving much
time and annoyance.
Large orders for double-seal valves
have already been placed by a number of
manufacturers, and it is estimated that
the company will manufacture 100000
valves during the present year.

0LDS PERIODICAL
REVIVED BY COMPANY
News Letter" Paper Discontinued in
1908. Saw Light Again in
January.

The original oldsobile house organ, un-
doubtedly the first ever published in the
automobile industry. has been revived by
the Olds motor works and in its present
form will be essentially a continuation Of
the periodical which was published more
than decade ago. Its resurrection re-
calls vividly the pioneer days when the
oldsmobile was equipped with a tiller ana
had curved dash like a sleigh. When
originally issued the publication was
known as the News Letter" and was
such curiosity that it sold on the news
stands for 10 cents a copy. .".
In 1908 It was discontinued and has not
since been published until the present
time. The first number Of the paper in
its new form was issued in January and
will come out monthly.
c. v. MCGUIRE, advertising manager of
the Olds Company, who will have edi-
torial charge, states that the periodical
viii be devoted primarily to the inter-
ests Of dealers and will carry forward
the original purpose Of the News Let
ter" and thAt 1t will be known as the
Ofncial Bulletin Of the olds Motor Works.

AUTO SHOW WAS BEST
EXHIBIT OF HISTORY
Henry Krohn, Sales Manager of the
Paige-Detroit Motorcar Company.
Discusses Event.

The fifteenth National Automobile
Show. held In New York City last week.
has proven a greater success than any
previous one." said Henry Krohn, sales
manager Of the Paige Detroit Motor Car
Company.
81 am judging first from the cold. ma
terial point OF dollars and cents. The
number Of actual bonafideN sales OF Paige
cars made during the show has, we hon.
estly believe, set a new high-water mark
for sales taken at any show. Fifty-one
cars sold at retail is the new mark.
That Is one OF the indications that
point to the stability and prosperity of
the motorcar business. Another feature
that promises to make this year better
than past years was the spirit of opti-
mism and confidence shown by all dealers
who attended the show. Every dealer
with whom we took up the matter of pos
sible sales for 1915 seemed convinced that
he could do moro business than ever.
Everywhere in the beautifully dec
GRATED Grand Central Palace one could
feel and see that the interest was keen
and business good. In the throngs that
packed the exhibit every day there
seemed to be more serious investigators
and actual buyers than ever before.
1T was easy to spot the experienced
motorists by the questions asked. Their
oeLlAno WIS Ior cofhIort, economy OF up
keep and for a car of durability. Interest
In SKIS seemed general, and fours came
in for their share of popularity. Canti-
lever springs came in for a good share
Of attention, as did the seating capacity
and amount OF space provided for occu-
pants
The total attendance during the week
was a pleasant surprise to every one.
Over 10000 visitors passed through the
gates. This Is the best answer to those
few pessimists who have been proclaim
ing the fact that automobile shows are no
longer needed or wanted"

TOURISTS TO BECOME
PURCHASERS OF AUTOS
Much Money that Would Go to
European Trips Will Be
Spent for Cars.

A lot of people this year are going to
put their money into motorcars instead
of trip to Europe. After the smoke
blows away across the pond there will
be a good deal of house cleaning to do
before the hotels and pensions will be
ready to receive tourists, and some of
the Spas and cathedrals will need to be
rebuilt before they look quite present
able.
So we are all home-folks, for another
year at least, and what is home without
motorcar? Up at the Chicago show
some of the weightiest decisions Of the
year are going to be made by last years
tourists and this years home-folks.
The Waverley Company, of Indian
apolis. offers a choice at the show Of
three models. There's the front-drive-
four-the car Of curves-curved sill, curv-
ed roof, curved tenders, curved battery
box covers-no square corners or out
lines about the car. You can have this
car with several different seating ar
rangements, and three drives, frpnt, rear.
or dual.
You may find all the options you want
to choose from right here. but If your
family is large enough for a five-pas-
senger coach see the Waverley limousine
five. Sashless windows this year give
wider view. both from the inside out and
the outside in, showing the delicate gray
upholstery with its pale blue diagonaIs to
excellent advantage. This model is a
patrician among electric cars. 1t makes
no compromise with mediocrity.
But if you would really make good to
your wife for the loss Of that foreign
tour she has been counting on so long,
show her the silent Waverley four-chair-
broughsm, the 1916 model that is built
like a boudoir, with four luxurious chairs
groped in a three-quarter circle, just as
might happen in any drawing-room; one
of the seats wide enough for two peo-
pie and all suggesting the last word in
comfort and sociabIlity. The gray up
holstered chairs are set in a pale blue
and drab interior, draped with silk da-
mask of Louis Quatorze pattern and
French manufacture. imported before
the war.
The whole car is a dream Of feminine
luxury, while possessing all the sturdy
practical-going qualities for which the
Silent Wayerley has long been famous.
