Makers Agree to Cut
Out Muffler
Cut-Outs

The members Of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, repre-
senting at least 90 per cent. OF the
country's motor car makers, have voted
unanimously to eliminate muffler cut
outs on the cars they build in the
future, so far as they can be operated
from the drivers seat.
with more than four million cars
in use and supplying great service
in the transportation of the individual
and of materials, the use of muller
cut-outs is unfair to the public and
adds an unnecessary noise TO American
life" the manufacturers state. Cars
have ample power so that the slight
increase in speed which may come from
the use of cut-outs is Of no Importance.
There may be times in adjusting mo-
tors where a cut-out is useful, but in
such cases, it can be operated from
under the car.
Almost half the 10 makers in the
chamber do not fit muller cut-outs to
voted that they should be eliminated
at their meeting in New York yester-
day adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, members of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce are opposed to the at
tachment of muller cut-outs to mo-
tor vehicles and do not fit them TO
the cars and trucks they manu-
facture, or will discontinue doing
so on their product for 1918; and
Whereas, the use of the cut-out
is unnecessary, annoying and dan
gerous to other users of the high
ways and Objectionable to resi-
dents along them,
Resolved, That the board of di-
rectors recommends that all mem
bers of the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce refrain from
attaching muller cut-outs 70 their
cars for the season of 1918 and
thereafter, and that no cars be
sold by them after January /,
1918, with cut-outs attached. or
that where cut-outs are attached
they be made imperative from
the drivers seat"

UNION HILL, n. j., Dec. 9.-Nat NJ.
Wills, the comedian, died to-day at his
home, at Thirty-frst Street and Boule-
ward East, WoodclifT, suffocated by the
fumes from his own automobile. He
had invited several neighbors to take
ride with him before he went TO New
York, where he was to appear in a
benefit performance at the Hippodrome,
and about l o'clock this afternoon
went to the garage to look over his
car.
The garage is a small structure, just
accommodating the automobile. An oil
heater had been burning in it all night.
Mr.. Wills entered, and bolted the door,
which opened outward, behind him.
Burglars who broke into the place a
week ago had shattered the lock.
Within a few minutes MRS. Wills and
their friends in the house heard the
whirr Of the engine.
When more than an hour had
passed and her husband had not yet
appeared Mrs. Wills went to the garage
and called him. There was no reply.
although the engine still throbbed
rhythmically behind the bolted door.

Maximalists Will Lose,
Declares Italian ENJOY
GStaf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Dee. 8.--The Italian
Ambassador at Petrograd, the marchese
Carlotti di Riperbella, believes "ths
real Russia" knows IL cannot defend
its liberties except by arms and by
lighting side by side with the Allies.
In an interview at Stockholm on his
way 10 Berne, according to advices re-
ceiyed here to-day, the ambassador
said that the rapidity with which Maxi
malism is spreading in Russia is c1-
planned by the fact that 1t addresses
itself to the uneducated masses with
two ideas which they can easily under.
stand, namely, the confscsti0n OF the
land and prompt peace.
As these ideas are more easily e1'
pressed than put in practice, dissps
pointment will not be long in coming,
and disorgsnization among Maximalists
will then set in fast. The Maximalists
are doomed, he continued, to another
disappointment. They promised revo-
luton in Germany, basing their hopes
of a democratic peace on disillusion. A
German revolution, however. Is un-
thinkable. the German Socialists being
Mt one with the imperialist government.
The present crisis in Russia will end,
the aniba ssador said, when the people
become disillusioned, and the Maxi
malists are daily opening their eyes.

others, including their allies. 1t says:
Peace by means of war! This 3

imperialists with their inhamed appe-
tites are posing. America declares
herself the implacable enemy of Aus

son, without any justifying motives

moment in which Russia is putting
forth efforts to end the war Amer

hypocrisy of the horrors OF war, are

America and Great Britain desire

The employment of women during

the American Red Cross representa-

promise of S2,000,000, for her educa.

their American friends"
The Mr. Robins referred to in the
letter of Nine. Breshkovskaya's for.
mer private secretary is Raymond
