HOW MOTOR WORKS
 TOPIC OF LECTURE
Henry H. Hover Gives Illus trated Lecture on the
 Knight Motor

Birmingham motor car owners saw at
 close range last night what makes the
 wheels go round in that small but
 formidable compartment underneath
 the hood of the car they drive. The
 explanation was given by Henry H.
 flower. S. A. E., at the Jefferson thea
 tre. Motion pictures, used by MT. How
 CT in his lecture on the Knight sleeve
 valve motor, vividly portrayed the con-
 struction and operation of the modern
 gasoline engine.
 On entering the theatre members of
 the audience were handed slips on
 which they were asked to write any
 question they had in mind concerning
 questions were given by MT flower
 from the platform.
 The lecturer was introduced to Bir-
 mingham motorists by Commissioner J.
 R. Hornady. who told of MT. flowers
 long association with Charles Y.
 Knight, the inventor of the sleeve valve
 motor. Preceding MT. Hornady's in.
 troduction there was musical pro-
 gram by the Jefferson theatre orches
 tra and vocal selections by H. J. Pos
 ner. baritone.
 If there were in the audience any
 who anticipated a technical discussion on gasoline engine construction they
 were disappointed. MT. Hover, regarded as one of the country's first authorities on the Knight motor, directed his lecture to the layman rather than to the scientific engineer. And the audience apparently was appreciative of this fact. The lecturer related incidents of the pioneer days of the Knight motor; he told of the early struggles and ulti- mate triumph of Charles Y Knight, the American inventor. who achieved suc- cess only after many bitter disappoint- ments.
 Within a few years after the adop- tion of the motor by the Daimler con- pany of England" said MT. flower, the Panhard. the Minerva. the Mercedes and practically every motor car manu- factured in Europe was equipped with the Knight motor. Today 23 European automobile manufacturers equip their product with this type of motor. "The King of England and the Ems peror of Germany may not agree on matters of state. but they do agree on motor car constructions Both drive Knight motored cars: the royalty and the nobility of Europe almost without exception are owners of automobiles equipped with the motor invented by that American of whom we are all proud-Charles Y. Knight"
 MT. flower explained to the audience the difference in construction and op- eration of the poppet valve motor and the sleeve valve motor. He emphasized the fact that the poppet valve motor is a good motor. but he declared the sleeve valve motor is better motor. Positive valve action. the speaker ex- p1ained, is the object of all motor car designers and engineers constantly are seeking to eliminate the use of such uncertain factors as cams and springs The Knight motor. he explained, has
 no cams and no springs. It's action Is positive.
 MT. flowers lecture last night marked his first appearance in the south. He came to Birmingham at the solicitation of H. M. Bailey under whose auspices the lecture was held

 The division will consist, it is reported of four brigades instead of three as pre- scribed in the army regulations. Tn the division will be cavalry, infantry, field artillery, aeroplane detachment, engineers, signal corps and the most modern field hospital equipment. An ample number of machine guns will accompany the di- vision.
 1t is understood Colonel Roosevelt and his aides have consulted with his friends n the regular army holding high rank | and the entire scheme has been received With approval
 If 1t is possible the principal command mg officers will be drawn from the regu- lar army. Recruiting for the division has been done to a large extent in the west and middle west. principally among men who have had previous military experience.
 The main equipment for the division, t is said. will have to be supplied by the war department. It is reported ma shine guns and aeroplanes are being manufactured by private concerns.

 The crowd was not a curious one, it was serious, earnest, thoughtful. The people were one in anxiety and despair; there was no class line, it was the safety of your boy and mine.
 Standing near was good old colored woman, one who bore the marks of a faithful servant, the tears were streaming down her checks and she drew a little child nearer to her and said Mistress, it won't be long if this keeps up before the colored men will go too; they will stand by our white folks"
 Nothing can be said to lessen the tense anxiety, but the flash of the wire exclaiming peace, and certainly that will not be long coming-when the whole globe needs the example of wise council and adjustment at this time.
 It takes more courage to keep out of a difficulty than to fight.
 The streets are quiet today, there is stiffness that speaks of the departure of our youth, and a sombreness per yades the moving crowds. hundred miles further south sounds the steady steps of marching soldiers, and throb- ping heart sare left behind.

AMERICA REFUSES
 TO BAR SUBMARINES
Declines to Accord With View of Entente
 Allies.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The United States has refused to accept the con- tcntion of the entente allies urging that neutrals deny the use of their harbors to all submarines, whether merchantmen or warships, Counsel Tor Polk of the state department an- nounced today.
 The allied governments in 8 men- orandum to neutrals called attention to the grave danger incurred by neutral submarines in the navigation of regions frequented by belligerent submarines.
 Counsellor Polk announced the de- partment's position, but refused to discuss the reasons for it. The Amer ican reply will not be made public before the return of Secretary Lan- sing tomorrow or Thursday.
 The allies claim that submarines are outlaws. as the note cabled last night from London shows, brought I'D the question whether this govern ment may be sued for damages be- cause of the call of the German sub marine at Newport before she started her raid against commerce. Onder the allies interpretation the position may be taken that Newport was made the base for operations which officials estimate already have caused s6,oOO,OOO damage to shipping and trade.
 Any attempt to collect damages, however, probably would be vigor- ously opposed as this government holds that a warship has a right to enter neutral harbor and that the U-53 in no way attempted to make NewDOrt a base
