Much interest in automobile circles is

During the past few weeks says
Charles Y. Knight. inventor OF the sleeve
valve motor, my Office has been showed
under with correspondence from inter-
ested motorists, asking for details. To
me, this is positive proof OF an extensive
market for a knight motored car selling
for so low a price.
The whole trend Of motor car design
to-day is toward silence, smoo,hness OF
operation and comfort. And the sleeve
valve motor is conceded by most experts
to be the one logical medium through
made possible.
"a few years ago the noise emanat-

fact, shrewd statesmen lave been known

TURKS STRONGHOLD

Erzerum, in Armenia, Only

Hosts Sweep Back Turks.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 1s.-Pursuit of the
Turkish troops fleeing before the Rus
slams in the Caucasus is being pressed
with great vigor, despite the severe
weather prevailing there. The Russian
troops are now only so miles from Erze-
rum, whose garrison is said to have
been reduced to 5000 men in order to
reinforce the Turks defeated at Ardaha'
sari-Kamysh and Kara Urgan.
The Bourse Gazette's Tiffis correspond

seemed to court disaster in their Cau-
causus operations. He telegraphs as fol-
lows:
,'They invited their fate by offerins
battle only 20 miles from the scene or

Russian victory was due TO few com
panies sent forward to arrest the Turks
advance on Sari-Kamysh, at whatever
cost. pending the arrival of the main
Russian force.

posted in the mountains repulsed des-
perate Turkish attacks for several days
and nights though they were almost

there has been no confirmation of the

mania, M. Stephen Panaratoff, Bulgarian
Minister to the United States, declared In
an interview at Steelton today, that Bull
garla would maintain its neutrality.
NJ. Panaratoff came from Washington
last night to address the members of a

In reply to question as to how Bull
garia viewed the Rumanian mobilization,
NJ. Panarartoff said:
81 have seen dispatches declaring that
Bulgaria has massed its troops on the
Servian and Rumantian frontiers. You
may say that is a lie; Bulgaria has not
moblized any troops"
The Minister further declared that he
didn't believe dispatches asserting Ru-
mania had mobilized 100000 were true,
saying:
"Rumania cannot mobilize 60O,0OJ ef-

BRITAIN DECLINES
TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT
TO SEIZE THE DACIA
U. S. Request to Make Ex-
ception Refused i'll Note to
State Department-Prece-
dent Feared.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19--Great Britain
today notified the State Department that
IL would not waive its right to seize the
steamship Dacia, recently transferred
from German to American registry, even
though the ship sailed for Rotterdam
instead of Bremen,
Great Britain also refused this Gov
ernment's request that the vessel be per-
mitted to make one voyage with cotton
from the United States to Germany with
out the voyage being considered prece-
dent establishing the right of German
ships to be transferred to the American
flag.
Ambassador Page at London stated
that the British Foreign Office refused
TO make an exception in the Dacia case
on tn broad ground that 1t would be
setting a precedent.
The Dacia is at Galveston with So
900 cargo of cotton, now about ready to
sail. 1t Is not expected the owners VIII
take the risk.
While the text of the note was not given
out by the State Department officials, it
is understood that Great Britain agreed
to pay the owners of the Dacia cargo the
same prices for their cotton that they
would have received in Germany 1T
was made clear, according to good au-
thority, that England did not object to
the shipment of cotton TO Germany, but
to the employment of the ship itself in
the transportation of American goods to
a country with which it is at war.
Sir Edward Grey is said TO base his
decision on the ground that IL the Dacia,
which was one of the crack boats of the
Hamburg-American line, could be trans
ferred for the purpose of carrying goods
to Germany, 1t would establish a prece-
dent that would make difficult the regula-
tion of traffic to Germany and Austria
In other words, it was explained, the
British Government felt that under such
recognition German ships in every neu-
tral port might be transferred to other
registry. used during the war in the
carrying trade, and at the end of the
war be returned to the German flag.
