]. $. LIBERTY MOTOR
 PROVES B|C SUCCESS IN ALL AERIAL TESTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-The Lib erty motor the airplane engine upon which the United States is relying to establish definite air supremacy over the Germans over the battlefields of France. has passed it's final test and is d complete and gratifying success, Secretary Baker announced today.
 Secretary Bakers statement follows:
 "The United States aviation engine has passed tis final tests They were successful and gratifying. The new motor, designated by the signal serv- ice as the Liberty motor,' is now the main reliance of the United States in the rapid production in large numbers of high powered battle planes for serv- ice in the war. Power speed, service, ability and minimum weight, the new engine invites comparison with the best that the European war has pro- duced
 T regard the invention and rapid development of this engine as one of the really big accomplishments of the United States since it's entry into the war The engine was brought about through the cooperation of more than a score of engineers, who pooled their skill and trade secrets in the war emergency, working with the encour-
 
 board, the war department and the bureau of standards.
 "The story of the production of this engine is a remarkable one. Probably the war has produced no greater single achievement
 One of the first problems was to produce quickly a dependable aviation motor. Two courses were open. One was to encourage manufacturers to develop their own types; the other to bring the best of all types together and develop standard. The latter course was chosen and two of the best engineers in the country were brought , together at Washington and the prob lem of producing an all-American en- | zine at the earliest possible moment was presented to them. Their first | conference was on June 3.
 These two engineers were figur- atively locked in a room in a Wash ington hotel and for five days neither left the suite of rooms. Consulting engineers and draftsmen from various sections of the country were brought to Washington to assist them. The work in the drafting room proceeded continuously day and night. Each of the two engineers in immediate charge of motor development alternate.y worked a 24-hour shift.
 An inspiring feature of this work was the air rendered by consulting en- gineers and motor manufacturers who gave up their trade secrets under the emergency of war needs. The indus tries have also contributed the serv- ices of approximately two hundred of their best draftsmen
 "The two engineers promised the government, if given an opportunity they would design a satisfactory en- zine before a working model could be brought from Europe
 "A remarkable American engine was actually produced three weeks before any model could have been brought Desert Wells and Superior is prae- tically washed out, a distance of thir- n tv miles.

STATE MEN TO FILL
 THE FIRST ARIZONA

Adjutant General Harris yesterday received from the department definite information that the First Arizona Infantry regiment would be filled out with drafted men from this state. It was feared for q time, especially since the selected men had been sent to Fort Riley and the First Arizona had been ordered to Linda Vista, that the regiment would be filled but by drafted men from other states in nearer cantonments, so that the reg iment, though bearing the name of the First Arizona, would be made up in considerable part of men who are not residents of the state.
 It is not now known how many men will oe required to bring the flrst Arizona to full strength. En- iistments have been going on and the office of the adjntant general has not yet been informed of the number of the later ones.
 But when the time comes. the com handing officer of the regiment will inform the commander of the can tonment where the Arizona selected men may be of the number that will be required and they will be forward : ed to Linda Vista

 The state department today still was without a report from Ambassador Francis concerning the kornIloff move ment, and al the Russian embassy it was said dispatches gave no clear ex- planation of the crisis
 Some doubt is felt here that the new, commander in chief, Major General Bonch Bruevitch, is sufficiently well known throughout the Russian army ranks to inspire great enthusiasm among the troops. For this reason special interest was taken in advices that Premoer kerensky might assume command of all the armies supple menting his personality as a factor in the military situation with the expert technical advice of generals whose loy- alty is unquestioned.

CHIEF JUSTICE HERE
 FROM ENGLAND UPON SPECIAL WAR MISSION

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Sept. 12.- Right Hon. Viscount Reading, lord chief justice of England arrived here today on an American steamship from Great Britain. He is accompanied by Lady Reading
 Lord Reaulng announced he was on "a special mission in behalf of the British war cabinet" having to do with finances. He was accompanied by Co., lonei k. D. Swinton, an assistant secre- tary to the British war cabinet, and J. M. Haynes of the British treasury.
 Lord Reading said he would go to Washington immediately.
 l come on a mission from the British war cabinet said Lord Reading. Amer ica, q nation built upon the basis of liberty and distinguished by it's great love of peace has been forced by Ger many to fight for freedom and human lIy and for the peace of the world. Your president has left no doubt that you are not waging this war for mili- tary conquest or territory or to impose your will on weaker nations, but in his own words, to make the world safe for democracy
 T need not enlarge to you upon the encouragement we and our allies derive from the entry of America into the war. Great as is the material assist ance you are contributing to the cause It was not of greater value than the moral stimulus to those who for more than three long years have been en- gagged in continuous conflict and have made daily and hourly sacrifices of food and treasure surpassing the widest notions of pre-war prophets. Whatever these sacrifices, we have never faltered in our determination to achieve our object; and, depend upon 1t, we shall not falter Assisted and encouraged by your genius and re- | sources and by your unconquerab ble l spirit the allies must win.
 The struggle is stern and costly but l the cause is great and worthy It is 1 the Vlndlcation of right and the protec
 tion of the weak. Victory, delayed per- haps, but ultimately certain, will bring the triumph of the peoples will over autocratic will, and will dig the graves 1 of interruptions schemes of world az
 gression and of military tyranny Then
 and then only will there be lasting | peace"
 Lord Reading was last in this country
 two years ago, when he came as head
 of the British financial commission | which with a French commission, ar. | ranged for $500 1000 0G0 Anglo French
 loan from American bankers in 1915.

 LAW IN ENGLAND
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 LONDON, Sept. 12.-Lieutenant Douglas Malcolm, who was being tried for the murder of Anton Baumberg, pseudo court, yesterday was fount not guilty by a grand jury at the Old Bal ley police court. The case, which had been characterized as a dream of pas sion" was the first to be tried here in which the "unwritten law was the sole defense
 A coroners jury had returned a yer dict of ''justifiable homicide after hearing Lieut.. Malcolm's plea that he had killed Baumberg fin defense of his wifes honor" The case was one of the most sensational seen in London in many years.
 The "unwritten law" was not pleaded by Sir Joh nSimon, who ap- peared for the defense and who did not call any witnesses. He con tented himself with the pi that Lieutenant Malcolm had coaimitted the act in self defense.
 When Malcolm entered Baumhergs s room for the purpose of giving the latter a flogging, Sir John said, it was a reasonably certain inference that Baumberg made a desperate et- fort to get out a revolver which was found in a drawer in the room, and was within an ace of success when Malcolm, in the heat of the strug- gle, was driven to use his revolver with which he had prudently pro- Vided himself"
 Justice Sir Henry Alfred McCardis, summing up, said 'The unwritten law is opposed to the most elemen- tary principles of British justice. The husband had no legal property in the body of his wife. She was mistress of her own destinies, and, if she chose to give herself to another, the husband vas not entitled to murder or to unish the sin of the man to whom she went
 The jury then brought in " rdict of acquittal. which was received with loud cheering in the court.
