TWO SPEEDING RECORDS
Broken by Hudson Super Six, Driven
by Ralph Muford

Ralph milford. driving a Hudson
Super-Six, broke the American speed
way record for $50 and 200 miles at
the Chicago races, clipping II sec
Onds from Dario Resta's time, which
formerly stood as the fastest 200
miles ever driven by motor car
milford averaged l04 miles an hour.
The feat of the Super-Six and it1
great driver is all the more remark
able from the fact that the Chicago
speedway is not the fastest of Ameri-
can motordromes and few existing
records were made on 1t.
Motor experts attribute this great
est 200 mile motor performance to the
endurance OF the Super-SiX That
quality was the chief factor which
contributed to the record smashing
performance. For the Super-Six rae
ing specials are not rated speedy cars
as racing cars go. There are many
racing cars which have more speed.
The Super Six racers, by scientific
tests. can exceed rate of 104 miles
an hour by very little. But they are
able to maintain the fullest limit of
their speed for hour after hour. When
other and faster cars are forced to
the pits on account of engine trouble
the Super.Sixes keep going.
yet the Super-Six was not design
ed for racing. 1t was built for ordi-
nary service. But its patented motor,
which, by minimizing friction gave 1t
extraordinary qualities of endurance,
also delivered such an excess OF pow
er. that IT'S possibilities as race
car were investigated Many inde
pendent drivers in 1916, converted
stock Super-Sixes into racers at small
expenses and compaigned them with
success against specially built racers
costing as much as $4,000 to build
The Hudson company this year con
yerted five stock cars for racing. The
changes made in the Super-SiX racers
were such as could be made to any
stock SupeT-SiX at small cost There
| are plenty of Super-Sixes now in use
which with a few changes might be
placed on a speedway. and lower ey

"Mulford's time for the 200 miles

Ia, from whom Mulford and the Su

Leading Military Leader in Germany
Subscribes to Majority Peace
Resolution.

Amsterdam, July 20.-Not conquest
Of annexations but territorial read
justment, constitutes the peace terms
of Germany and her allies.
DR.. Georg Michaelis, in his maiden
speech before the reichstag yesterday
announced this to the world. Here
are his exact words
I'VE must, by means of understand
ing and in a spirit of give ard take,
guarantee conditions of the existence
of the German empire upon the con-
tinent and over seas.
Germany did not desire the war in
order to make violent conquests and
therefore will not continue the war a
day longer merely for the sake of
such conquests, If it could obtain an
honorable peace"
The sweeping victory of the tri'
party bloc in the reichstag became
fact at yesterdays momentous SEES
sion, details of which did not filter
through the Berlin censorship until
today.
For the first time in the empire
history an imperial chancellor has
been forced to bow to the parliament
as its master.
The majority peace resolution was
passed PA to 116. Seventeen depu
ties abstained from voting.
The chancellor himself subscribed
to the resolution, interpreting 1t as
advocating readjustment instead OF
conquest The party leaders accept

With regard to internal reforms
the chancellor met the reformist
only half way. Nevertheless, he an
nounced one epoch-making conces
sion-he promised to call into lead
ing executive positions men who pos
sess the confidence Of the great PAL
ties in the peoples representatiy
bodies He said he naturally stoo
on the Kaiser's rescript of July II
abolishing the three-class vote i
Prussia. He urged closer co-opera
tion between the big parties-that Is
the reichstag's majority-and th
government.
He stood firm. however, upon tn
constitutional right of the imperia
administration to conduct on
policy" The "other side" he added
must acknowledge that this righ
must not be narrowed.

Defence.

London, July 21.-Disaffection
among Russian troops has resulted
in an important gain OF ground by
the Germans and Austrians in the
region of Zlochoff east OF Lemberg,
the Galician capital.
Persistent German attacks at first
were repulsed by the Russians. Later
Russian regiment near the center
of the line voluntarily left its trench
es and retired, forcing the other units
on the line to fall back. This move
ment, Petrograd says, gave the Ger
mans opportunity for developing
their movement. Some Russian
troops are reported to have refused
to obey their commanders under the
influence of the extremists who
brought about the recent disorders in
the Russian capital. Prince Leopold
led the Austro-German advance In
person, and his troops, Berlin says,
occupied three zones of defense and
captured few thousand prisoners.
Northwest of Halicz the Russians
have evacuated Bludniki. Near Brzez
any, between Halicz and Zlochoff, the
Russians have repulsed German eff
forts. A Russian offensive movement
near Novica, south OF KalusZ, brought
no important gain.
An attempt to assassinate Alexan
der Kerensky, the Russian minister
of war who encouraged the Russian
soldiers to take the offensive on
July l, has failed. A shot fired al
the minister in the town Of PototSh
missed him.
Another effort by the German
crown Prince to regain the California

French. The Germans attacked re
peatedly in mass formation, but ever,

French held to their positions Else
where on the front in France there
have been only raids and artillery

American Commander Visits British
Staff Officers.


Paris, July 20.-Major John ].
Pershing, the American commander,
with two staff officers left Paris this
morning on his first visit to the Brit
ish front. The American officers will
be the guests of Sir Douglas Haig,
the British commander in chief, re-
turning to the capital Sunday.
Gen. Pershing will make a long tour
with Gen Hnig along the British lines
studying the methods employed by
the British in combating the enemy
with a view to the adoption of those
methods by the American forces.
Major-Gem Sibert, commander of
the American training camp, and the
principal members of the staff left
their headquarters early today TO
witness technical manoeuvring
demonstration by picked French
troops
The visit marked the beginning OF
a method OF cooperation between the
two armies by which the americans
will benefit by the long experience of
the French. IL will be followed at
regular intervals by other trips Of
the American officers to see the prac-
tieal experience gained by the French
during the war put into practical
form before the eyes Of the visitors.
communication has been made
public here to the effect that in spite
Of the submarine campaign the Unit
ed States Government has succeeded
in assuring regular transatlantic
transport service for provisioning and
bringing supply materials to the
American expeditionary force.
Thus, it is explained, the United
States will supply all the food for its
troops. Furthermore, says the com
munication. the United States is max
ing great efforts to restrict food con-
sumption at home in order that there
may be a surplus to distribute pro-
portionately among the people of her
allies, France. Italy and England. As
has been expected, continues the
statement, the United States will pro
| duce more food this year than prev
iously, owing to the increased area
| being cultivated, and the entry of the
| United States into the war will mean
an increase in the food supply for the
| French civilian population.
The American Government. the
statement adds, has sent to France
a certain number of mechanics to
study methods in munition factories
and later to manufacture munitions
for the expeditionary force, but in nc
case, ii is explained, viii the me
chanics, as had enormously been re
ported, be employed to replace mobi
