BERLIN, Feb. 27. (By wireless 10
Sayville)-Extreme bitterness toward
the United States for it's breaking OF
diplomatic relations with Germany was
voiced today by Chancellor Won Beth
mann n-Hollweg in his address to the
reichstag. postponed from last week.

by European neutrals has been made
as is known-by the United States, =

No authentic communication about the
reasons which were given for his steps.

ambassador here in Berlin communi-
Gated only in spoken words to the state
secretary of the foreign office of
breaking off relations and asked for
his passports. This form of breaking
off relations between great nations
living in peace is probably without
precedent in history"

blockade but merely established def.

Success we shall be able to obtain
partly by sinkings. partly by discour-

has happened in the widest sense
Thanks to the incompatible brav-
cry of our submarines, we are fully

has the spirit of love of country stood

Youth Who Killed Self Here May
Have Been Spy of Foreign Country

When Stenley Gorak, well-dressed,
well-educated young Pole, shot HIM
self through the heart yesterday in a
dingy, dirty room III lower Douglas
street he gave to police suicide
mystery which they despair OF solv-
ing.
Gorak's letters puzzle detectives.
Two OF them are written i'll 4 curious
mixture OF Bohemian and Polish
which men versed in both languages
fail TO translate. Two other letters,
in the same handwriting, are written
in Polish and translators say that tn y
are perfect in grammar These last
letters indicate that Gorak was plan
ming to enter college the coming fall,
That Gorak should. write two let
tiers that are readable in Polish and
two that defy translation by expert
'linguists gives TO police the suspicion
that the unreliable letters may be in
code.
If Gorak was in the employ Of a
foreign government which exacted
from him reports in code, therein
would be an explanation not only OF
the mysterious letters. but of his for
mer affluence and wide travelling. 1t
would also explain his lack of monty
when he killed himself--if intercourse
with the government for which h.
worked and from which he drew his
money had been cut off,
A photo album found in the sui
cide's room shows that Gorak was
used to better accommodations than
were offered in the rooming house
where he killed himself. One picture
shows him and lis bride surrounded
by numerous friends in evening dress.
Another photo shows Gorak pc ched
perilously at the edge of a precipice
in Grand canyon, Colorado. In an
other scene he is straddling a great
divide and still another shows him
climbing a cliff that is almost per-
pendicular.

Cars Too Light

Mr.. Bate believes that the average
car is too light. The Light Six trend
went too far.
J So he has worked three years on
Mitchells to double the margins of
safety. The old standard was so per
cent over-strength - the new Is 100
per cent.
Over 40 parts are built Of tough.
ened steel. All safety parts are
vastly oversize. All parts which get
a major strain are built Of Chrome
Vanadiun. Gears are tested for
$4,000 pounds per tooth. The canti-
lever springs are so built that not
one has broken in two years.
The result, we believe, is a life
time car. Several Mitchells have
already run over 100000 miles apiece.
But such standards mean much added
cost in these days of high steel
