WASHINGTON FEARS WORST AND LOOKS TO
 UNAVOIDABLE REPLY
(Continued from Page One)

States will feel certain that the safety of innocent noncombatants on the high seas is assured, or steps for d diplo- matic break will have been taken.
 Among the foreign diplomats here. the question of a-break between the United States and Germany is a topic of wide interest The concensus of opinion seems to be that diplomatic re- lations between the United States and the allies of Germany need not neces- sarily be affected. In regard to Aus tria, however, much is considered to depend upon the answer made by the Vienna government to the American inquiry regarding the attack upon the Russian bark imperator, carrying two injured by shrapnel fire Ambassador Penfield was directed to make the in quiry early this week No reply has been received today. and he may soon be instructed to renew the inquiry. It is considered quite probable that Austria will be called to account should it develop that her submarines have not
 been acting with a proper regard foI the rights of noncombatants, the United States being determined that illegal submarine warfare wherever and whenever found must cease.

Next Indianapolis Classic to be Not . able Cne-Burman's Ambition Was
 to Win This Contest
Special to The eRpubIican)

INDIANAPOLIS. April 22-The death of Bob BJr1nan at Carona, Cal iforria, has changed the plans. of some of thosc interested in the com ing 300-mile Speedway race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 90. Paradozical as il may seem this same race leaving in it's wake na- tion- wide grief for the popular Bur man, also serves to accentuate the prowess of Eddie O'Donnell. who won in q Duesenberg car. and who will drive this same car at Indianapolis.
 The winning of this event by Eddie ODonnell vindicates the prediction of many that O'Donell is one of the coming head liners in the speed sport.
 Burman was to drive one of the new Premier Specials which are be- ing built in factories at Indianapolis. Who will take his place is not known. Burman is credited with having in corporated in these new ears many of his pet theories and constructional features that experience had taught him. There is considerable sentiment associated with these Premier cars in Indianapolis. They say they are
 looked upon as monuments to the
 late Burman. Burman has been known to say that no monument would please him better than to leave be- hind him a car which incorporates Burmanism. Ever since Indianapolis people have been running their In
 ternationaI Sweepstakes speed events Burman has participated in each and every one and it was his consuming
 ambition to win this event to tor off his career as racing driver His unfortunate and fatal accident at Cal
 fornia prevented this dream of his career.
 T. l.. Myers, general manager ol | the Indianapolis track, however. said that the good Burman has done will | live Cn forever "He was a clear
 sportsman. q thoroughbred in every | respect have known him to hell | competitors when such help jeopar- i dized Burmans own opportunities oi i success. He has done much in 9r
 experimental way to perfect the con
 struction of motor cars. and this good will live on forever

MOTORING II INCREASE IN
 COMING YEAR
Greatly Increased Popular ity of Motor Car, Inn possibility of Foreign Touring and Better Roads Contributing Factors
Special to The Republican,

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 22.- Automobile touring covering every section of the country this year will show an increase at least double that of last year. which was record breaker. Many conditions contribute to this situation. such as the large increase in ownership and the im- possibility of foreign touring although the fundamental factor lies in the enormous increase of road construc- tion that is taking place in so many states that have heretofore neglected their highways.
 Up to last year touring was largely done by those who lived where fin ished road areas were well defined ana understood, but the long time and excellent work carried on by the national touring bureaus of the Amer ican Automobile Association. both at it's Washington and at it's New York City headquarters came to be fully appreciated as clearing houses of touring data and knowledge. Auto mobile owners in every section of the lHlltu EoldttS iOOh duN dliidoc Ol Nliio condition and applied for informa- tion that covered nearly every pos sible route combination that could be ina sined.
 In these groups were many who made their inquiry with curiosity as their 1 incentive, and when they found that route combinations could be linked to- gether they turned from passive in quirers to active tourists. In many in stances their experiences were so su- | perior to anything they had hoped for, and in all instances finding that auto mobile touring is the only way to both see and know their country. they be- came fixed converts to long distance touring and spread the propaganda.
 While the touring bureaus of the A A A. have long record of requests for
 touring information, never in theil years of work has the volume reached anything like the proportions received
 this spring. One of the results of this
 entire situation is that the A. A. A. is
 reissuing all it's road maps. bringing
 them up to date for the touring seasor
 of 1916.

British Lion Will Train Cubs Healthy American Idea Takes Big Hold

NEW YORK, April 22.-Notwith- standing the cry of Specialization, "Professlonal-Amateurs' and Super strenuous Training which has al- ways greeted the victory of American athletes in England, the British au- thorities have at last awakened to the importance of systematic and official training for the students of the Eng fish schools ard universities

 The new plan. as outlined by Sir Lauder Erunton. a distinguished Lon don scientist and author of many standard medical works. is as follows.
 our public schools will henceforth have games masters, recruited from 'ilS sdhle cidsses as tne Orulndry men teachers, and of equal rank in the faculty. Hitherto sorle of the schools have had athletic coaches who dealt with practice and training and selec- tion Of teams.

ON HOW TO
 TAKE CARE TIRES

Would you like to know how you could add 1000 to 2000 miles to the life of your tires, said Morel Sardon, man. ager of the local Fisk branch. This can be done easily by devoting a little time in examining the rubber tread for small cuts. By the action of the tire. water and sand are sucked and pushed into the small cut. and the tread be- comes loose and separated from the fabric.
 Jack up the wheel so you can work on the tire when it is inflated, wash it with soap and water, reyolve the wheel slowly toward you, examining the tread for dust. Upon seeing what appears to be cut probe it with knife blade, and remove the small par ticles of glass. stones, or whatever may still be embedded in the rubber. ,
 The next step is to clean the cut thoroughly with gasoline. When you are sure all the dirt is out, work rubber cement into the cut with a small stick Work around the tire. treating each cut in like manner. As a second coat of cement is needed. again fill the cut in like manner Open the can of Fillacut or tread cut filler and take out a piece little larger than you think will fill the hole. Knead this between the thumb and forefinger, being sure your fingers are clean. When this Fillacut becomes plastic place it over the cut and work it in. so that it completely fills the hole Cut off any gum that may project from the hole.
 Fill all cuts in like manner and all low to stand over night. In the morn ing you will find that the gum has made perfect union, and the cuts are i properly sealed. A piece of bicycle tape wound around the tire is used by some to hold the gum in the cut until 1 it has had sufficient time to set

CHICAGO FANS EXPECT FLACK TO
 MAKE FINE SHOWING WITH CUBS

Max Flack. lead off man in the batting order for the Cubs. this sea- son, is sure to make good in the National league as he did in the Federal league last year. say the dopesters. The little right fielder is natural ball player, and he is a hitter of more than the ordinary ability. As lead-off man he. is ideal. He is short and is hard to pitch to on account of his size He, is good waiter and makes the pitcher put them over for him. He is a good hitter and when he does crack one he drives it so hard that it is not going to stop for lack of force at any time.
 He is one of the men that Tinker mad last year. sure of his job the minute the amalgamation of the teams was made. Tinker believes that Flack is just as good a player as Benny Kauff, and does not hesi- tate to say SO In fact it is a toss up which man Tinker would select if he had his choice. for Flack is one Of the quietest men in the game. but has plenty of fight in his makeup the minute he gets into a game
 Although Max has never had any experience in the big leagues outside of the Federal league, he is a finish ed player. He does not show weak ness in any department, for he runs the bases with judgment and speed
 He fields his position in the outfield without a flaw, and he wallops the hal ctrfa batting average last season was .3I5 ana that IS not an easy average to make in any league. His fielding average was .916. which comes very close to being perfect
