September 30.-King Constantine IS
Somewhat concerned as to the possible
attitude of the chamber of deputies
(which, under the constitution. must be
reconvened in event of war Ihe
deputies, under the lead of the pro-
German Gounaris. are likely to .refuse
war credits and to decline to accept a

The king today called to the palace
Nicholas Stratos. leader of the new
royalist pro-war party. and charged
him with the responsibility of swing
ing the deputies into line for war NJ
Stratos already has obtained the ad-
herence of twenty-five former support

emerge from the present crisis as the
most capable political figure in Greece,

for him because he has kept US out of
war. 1t is worth while to remember
that this is claim that cannot be ad-
vanced either on behalf of Washington
or of Lincoln. Neither Washington nor
Lincoln kept US out of war. Americans
and the people of the world at large
now reverence the memories of these
two men. because, and only because
they put righteousness before peace
They abhorred war. They Stunned un-
just or wanton Or reckless war But
they possessed that stern valor of pa
triotism which bade them put duty
first; not safety first; which bade them
accept war rather than an unrighteous
and disastrous peace. There Were peace
at-any-price men in the days of Wash
ington. They were the tories. There
were peace-at-any price men in the
days of Lincoln. They were the copper
heads. The men who now with timid
hearts and quavering voices praise Mr.
Wilson for having kept US out of war
are the spiritual heirs of the tories of
1776 and the copperheads of 1854 The
men who followed Washington at
Trenton and Yorktown, and who suf-
fered with him through the winter at
Valley Forge; and the men who wore
the blue under Grant, and the gray un-
der Lee, were men of valor, who sacri-
feed everything to serve the right as
it was given them to see the right
They spurned with contemptuous in
dignation the counsels of the feeble and
cowardly folk who in their day spoke
for peace at any price.

FASTER THAN TRAIN
SPEED OF AUTOMOBILE TO OUT.
 DO THAT OF LOCOMOTIVE.
Experts Believe Run From San Fran. cisco to New York Will Be Done
 Under Five Days.

What is the best possible time be tween coast and coast travelling east ward or travelling westward? The re- cent performance of drive in placing a double transcontinental starting at San Francisco and ending at San Fran cisco inside of II days, has brought about speculation from one end of America to the other. The chances seem good for a record which will eclipse the best train time from one coast to the other in either or both directions.
 In other words, It Is possible today, in the opinion of critics. to take a bag of mail from the postmaster at San Francisco and to start simulta- neously another bag by regular mail route for New York, and then have the auto mail route covered in less time than the railroads can do now adays.
 Fred F. Moskovics of Indianapolis, who studied the transcOntinental speed possibilities for the automobile very carefully, believes firmly that five days for the journey from one coast to the other will be lowered. When Sam Stevens, the Rome, \. Y., iron millionaire, cut the record of 2 days II hours and 52 minutes to 5 days IS hours and 30 minutes, only to have Ralph Mulford. Patterson and Vincent lower this time to . days hours and 31 minutes, Moskovics promptly said that the run would be made in under five days.
 Some of the cars which have been engaged in this transcontinental rec ord work have been far ahead of a five-day schedule for part of the dis tance, but have been interfered with by cloudburts or other unfortunate circumstances which did not enter into the calculations. It would seem therefore that it but remained for one car to start under proper direction and proper preparation and with per feet conditions to bring the record down to perhaps four and half days. By taking the best times of the cars over certain stretches, travelling east or travelling west, 1t is shown that the speed of four and a half days is not out of the question. To do such a performance there remains to be car ried out prior to the start most elaborate system from one coast to the other to avoid every possible delay and also a different arrangement for driving.

SIMPLE RULES BEST
Authority Is of Opinion That the Country Has Too Much Au-
 tomohi!e Law.
SAYS PUBLIC IS NEGLIGENT
Refusal of Pedestrians to Observe the Simplest Rules of Personal Safety Responsible for Immense Ma jority of Accidents on
 hiohways

We now have too much automobile law. The next trend must be toward the elimination of all unnecessary re- quirements, and the enactment of a few simple rules and regulations that may be easily understood. easily en- forced, and, us nearly as possible, uni versally observed. Such an elimina- tion would in many instances do away with about three-fourths of our pres ent laws"
 H. NJ. Rowe of the American Auto mobile association, thus set forth the present problem of the motor car own er. Continuing, he says:
 Tt Is needless to say that the motor ists themselves deplore most keenly the steadily-increasing number of ac- cidents and fatalities occasioned by the use of the motor car, but the peo- pie have not yet come to fully realize that these accidents are the result of negligence on the part of the public to observe the simplest rules of personal safety, rather than neglect on the part of the mOtorIst. The utter disregard of his personal safety shown by the average individual when occupying the public highways is appalling.
 "It Is a matter of undisputed record that between 90 and 90 per cent of all the accidents that occur result from the neglect of the individual pedestri- an, and less than 5 per cent are caused by the direct fault of the motorist or the reckless use of the motor car. Ly- ing between these figures somewhere are from 8 to 5 per cent of the acci- dents where both parties are respOn- sible.
 simple as 1t may seem, a set of traffic rules and regulations that will work out in practice are not easy to prepare. It follows that rules and reg ulations which will work out are those that will permit vehicles and individ- uals to move with the largest degree of freedom without coming in contact with each other. Through cur legis- iative board we have set about cod!- flying such a practical set of traffic rules that may be easily understood and enforced. We are hopeful that they will be generally adopted. Of course, there will be notifications In different instances, and, of course, they will be attended by varying de grees of success in their enforcement and in promoting the purpose of their enactment; but we believe that sub- stantial uniformity can be established throughout the country"

Repairs Won't Stick.

Trouble Is often experienced in get ting the tread to stick on small repairs. This might be due to any one of sev- eral reasons, the most common of which is applying cement over wet fabric. The moisture in the fabric, even if very slight, will blow the tread loose from the fabric. Another com non cause for loose treads is the fail ure to roughen up the cid carcass suf- Hciently. In this case the cement will not hold properly and after few miles of running the repair will sepa- rate. It is also well to make sure that proper pressur" is being applied to the repair when 1t is curing.
