Berlin, March 9.-Germany declared
war on Portugal at $3.50 o'clock yes

ports to the Portuguese minister.
The rupture between Germany and
Portugal was brought about by
Portugal's requisitioning German in

demanding the return OF the ships.
So far as is known, this ultimatum
was ignored
There have been frequent reports
that Portugal was about to declare
war with Germany because of her
treaty relations with Great Britain
which bound Portugal to place 10000
troops at the disposal Of Great Brit

SEVEN BIG SHIPS
BEHIND GERMANY
Fletcher Limits Deficiency of Amcri.

=
Washington, March 6.-Three dread
noughts and four battlccruisers added
TO the American fleet, built and au-
thorized, would make 1t the, equal in
hghtlng strength Of the present Ger
man fcct Admiral Fletcher, COM
mander OF the Atlantic fleet, declared
today before the house naval commit
tee. While Germany has seven bat
tlecruiscrs and the United States none,
the admiral said the IS knot craft
proposed by the navy department
would be SO much superior to anything
now afioat that four of them possibly
three, would more than offset the sew
en- German boats.
with the present fleet of ~ battle
ships of all types, three additional
dreadnoughts and seven battlecruiscrs,
Admiral Fletcher thought eve could
reasonably expect to make good de-
tense, although not an absolute one"
OF both coasts against any combina-
ton of two enemy powers that did not
include Great Britain.
The admiral said he and a majority
of the higher officers OF the navy dis
approved Of the personnel boards pro
posal to substitute promotion by Sc
lection for the seniority system. He
said that If the president were author
iZed to transfer 4 per cent. of the
captains, commanders and lieutenant
commanders to the reserve list, en-
ploying them in consular work abroad
as instructors in military schools or
on other work for the government
the way for promotion of efficient Of
iiccrs would be opened without addi-
tional expense. The present system of
selection for high commands and bu-
rcau heads, he said, provided a way
OF putting the right man in the right
place.
Admiral Fletcher thought the train
ing of all naval officers was so nearly
identical that to make selection among
the officers in any grade Of those uual-
lncd Tor promotion, as proposed, would
be difficult task. There was little
to choose among 80 per cent of the
men in any grade, he added; already
being required to be exports in many
subjects, such as seamanship gunnery
and engineering and to have in addi-
ton a knowledge Of international law
beyond the average Of a lawyer. A
natural process, he explained, they
now specialized along the lines to
which they felt the most attraction
and we're appointed to posts that
would get the best results for the navy
from that study.

ION which causes the automobile

move.
"A fresh charge Of gasoline is taken
into the cylinder each alternate
downward stroke of the piston, or, as
we say, the power" stroke. At the
end Of the power stroke, the $500 de-
grees of heat derived from that charge
of gasoline is gone 1t was used up in
downward. Then comes the exhaust
stroke and then another power stroke,
with another $500 degrees of heat.
This process goes on continually in
each cylinder, while the automobile is
running. The heat, you see. pushes the
piston downward and this movement of
the piston is transferred to the crank
shaft and thence to the rear axle and
from there to the rear wheels. So
you see it is heat that causes the auto
mobile to move.
Now, when gasoline is exploded in
the cylinder of an automobile motor
there are just two places it can 60
just two avenues of escape for it. First
1t can find an outlet by pushing the
piston downward. Second: Ii can es-
cape through the cylinder walls into
the water that is used to keep the cyl
inders from getting too hot Now il
stands to reason that the automobile
owner wants the largest possible
amount of that heat to go against the
piston. That is what he buys gasoline
for: to move his car. In all automo

DEALER EXPLAINS
THE VALVE-IN-H HEAD
Z. o. NOaek Goes Into Detail to Explain
Meaning of Terms Describing the
Buick Automobile Motor.

What Is meant by the term valve
in-head' was explained today by E. o.
Noack of the Noack Motor company,
Rock Island, SO that the layman unfa-
miliar with mechanics may understand.
Mr.. Noack's explanation follows:
Regardless of their form of con-
struction. or their number of cylin-
ders, all automobile motors are heat
engines. By that it is meant that heat
is the force which furnishes the power
of the motors. To reach an under
standing of automobile motors it is
first necessary to get this fundamental
fact firmly fixed in mind. Gasoline is
the fuel which supplies the heat. In
other words, gasoline is the raw ma
terial" for making the heat. just as
cotton is the raw material for making
cloth
when the gasoline is taken into the
carburetor it is mixed with air and
vaporized. That is, it is transformed
into gas. This gas is then taken into
the cylinders and by means of an cleo
trlc spark II is burned, or, as we gen
orally say, exploded" Gasoline vapor
burns so very quickly that we speak
OF the transformation as an ''explo-
sion. II you could burn stick of
stoVeWood or a lump of coal as quickly
as you can a quantity of gasoline. they,
100, would explode" This burning or
exploding" of the gasoline creates a
very nigh degree of heat. about $500
degrees Fahrenheit to be exact, Heat.

Compromise was reached between
the board of supervisors and under
takers of the county yesterday after
noon relative TO the demand Of the
latter for an increase in the fee for
the burial of pauper cases, when the
board voted to adopt the report of the
poor claims committee, which recon-
mended that $50 be paid for the burial
of paupers years Of age and over and
$50 for those under I. The price now
paid is SIS for all pauper cases
Petition Of the undertakers present
ed to the board was that $35 be grant
ed for those years Of age and over
and SIS for those under. Under the
new terms the undertakers agree TO
furnish rough box, upholstered and
lined casket with handles, shroud
grave, and TO embalm body and bear
all other expense of burial.

Opposition to the resolution came
principally from Supervisors Griswold,
Burgoyne and Larkin. Supervisor Cor
bin said he would favor the appropri-
alton if the fair could be located near
err the center of population. Supervl-
sor Daley led the fight in favor OF
making the award and declared that
the county was not making a dona-
ton but an investment that would be
beneficial to the entire county. Pres
ident Donahoo and Secretary Daley
of the fair association both made short
talks in support of the resolution, in
which it was brought out that the
state of Illinois pays half of the pre-
miums offered at county fairs for
stock and grain, annually appropria-
ting $4,000 for this purpose
