GERMAN CHANCELLOR
is FACING CRISIS
Political Fate Of Miehaslis and
HeIfferieh May Depend On
Action Of Reichstag.

Amsterdam, oct. S.-German news
papers which support the reichstag
majority severely censure DIR. Helf-
ferich, vice chancellor and minister
Of the interior, for his incapacity to
respond to the feelings Of the reich
stag. They think the future OF the
government may depend on the de-
bate to begin today in view Of the
motion of the independent socialists
that 'the reichstag is of the opinion
that the reply OF the government to
the Interpolation did not meet the
intentions of the reichstag''
The Vossische Zeitung declares
that this motion is a vote of censure
formally directed against DR.. Mich
aelis, the imperial chancellor, but
really against DR.. Helfferich.
Vorwaerts says that il the motion
Is adopted Chancellor Michaelis and
his colleagues must resign or the
reichstag must force them to do so.
Other newspapers demand a clear
statement from the government on
the peace resolution Of the reichstag
majority.

Speedy Agreement.
NJ. TsereteIIi, at secret session
yesterday of the preliminary parlia-
ment, an outgrowth of the demo-
cratic congress, outlined the recent
negotiations with the government,
which he said led to a speedy agree
ment on all points except the
responsibility of the government to
the preliminary parliament. The
question was settled, he added, by an
agreement that the parliament should
be convoked officially and organized
by the government. The parliament
would include 120 representatives of
nom democratic elements, who would
have the right to interpellate the
government, which must reply
formally. The government would
not be responsible to parliament, but
no cabinet could continue existence
without the confidence Of parlia-
ment.
The parliament endorsed the
formula covering the question OF the
responsibility of the government to
parliament by ZOE to 81, twenty-five
members abstaining from voting.
M. Tseretelli, announced that salts
factory assurances had been given
the democratic members of the con-
gress that energetic measures would
be taken to convene an inter-allied
for the revision OF
treaties, at which democracies would
be represented.

Is Model For $4,000 Ma
chimes For Use of Unit
ed States Army
SAID TO REPRESENT
THE PERFECT TRUCK
Parts Made At Widely Sep
arated Points and As
sembled Secretly
CBy Associated Press.l

Lima, o.. Oct. S.-The first Liberty
motor truck for the United States
army, product of the greatest motor
truck designers of the country twelve
motor truck plants and sixty-two
automobile parts factories, was COM
pleted here today at a local manu-
featuring plant. The standardized
machine, of which $4,000 copies will
be turned out in the first half of
1918 for the army. is said to repre-
sent the perfection of automobile
truck development. Its power is de-
rived from the new Liberty motor,
war department experts.
+ Lima is preparing for a great
patriotic demonstration when the
new army truck is given its first road
test, probably late this week. High
army officers, including the quarter
master general and possibly Secre-
tary Of War Baker, are arranging to
attend. Following tests at the fac
tory, the truck will start on an en-
durance run to the east.
Design Is Secret.
The first Liberty motor truck was
built in the greatest secrecy to pro-
tect 1t from enemy eyes. A building
without windows and lighted only by
skylights housed the truck during
the three weeks Of its construction.
The plant was closely guarded by
armed men night and day.
AS an added precaution, a second
truck was assembled in an eastern
city. AS each part was completed, a
duplicate was dispatched to a north
ern New York town. where mechanics
assembled a second machine. II the
parts were small, they were sent by
registered mail. If too big to ship
that way, trusted mechanics carried
them personally by train.
Similar precautions surrounded
parts manufactured in the sixty odd
factories which contributed to the
machine. AS each part was COM
pleted it was dispatched to Lima in
charge Of an army representative
who kept factory officials informed
of his progress by telegraph. No
one company knows the complete de-
sign or what other companies made
other parts. r.

Hoover Trying
To Evolve Five
Cent War Bread

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 8.
Philadelphia is to be the
scene of an experiment by
Herbert G. Hoover, nation
al food administrator, in the
preparation of a five cent
loaf of war bread. Tt is
also proposed to establish a
standardized method of
making the bread. The
new war loaf will, it is
said, effect a saving of
sugar, lard and milk, and
yet be wholesome. The de-
partment of agriculture, in
cooperation with Mr..
Hoover, has sent d. N. ia
cobs, of the bureau of chem
istry, to instruct bakers
here in the preparation of
the bread. Mr.. Jacobs said
In an interview:
"The exact weight of the
new loaf I cannot tell at
present, but I will say that
its size will effect a con-
siderable saving over pres
ent prices. After the ex-
pertinent is tried out in
this city, we will establish
the same methods and rec
ipes in every section of the
United States. I anticipate
no difficulty in securing the
of the bakers,
as we are satisfied that if
they carry out instructions
they will be able to put the
new bread on the market at
a profit that will allow them
to continue business as
usual. 1"

so powerful it would revolutionize

Then in reply to a question, Mr..
Giragossian agreed the public was
entitled to an idea of his garabed.
I'VE have to imagine a working
engine he said, tine motive power
of WI ich is not steam but something
else which can be Obtained freely.
THE size fthis motor and the
quantity of energy to be produced by
1t are dependent upon our will and
enterprise. It can be manufactured
with less expense and occupies less
space and is very much lighter than
the steam engine with Its numerous
appliances.
1T is portable and can be placed
and put into operation wherever
there exists a spark of human life.
Consequently, the steam engine will
become obsolete.
THE garabed, being free from
boiler and furnaces. there will be no
more explosions, no more victims. no
more toilers to produce energy. In
an area no larger than the Boston
common (Which is forty-eight acres)
sufficient power can be produced un-
der the new system to supply the
wants Of the whole industrial world.

farms will be. supplied by electricity
