FORM MOTORCYCLE
CORPS TO AID U. S.
Riders Organize for Defense
With War Departments
Endorsement.

Motorcycle riders do not intend to
be left behind in any preparedness
campaign that may result from the
present international crisis.
There Is a well-organized move
ment to start company OF motor
cycle volunteers In every community
In which twenty-five or more riders
can be enrolled.
Promoters OF the plan have re-
eeived an unqualified Endorsement
from the War Department. Ralph A!
Hayes, private secretary TO Secretary
of War Baker, in an answer to a let
ter written Secretary Baker outlining
the plan, says:
Doubtless In case the present crisis
should unhappily become more acute,
the services of motorcyclists would
be very necessary and valuable. The
experience Of the contending forces
on the other side Of the ocean demon
strates that motorcycle forces can
and must be used for service which
would be less satisfactorily PERFORM

MAXWELL NONSTOP
CAR ARRIVES IN CITY
Automobile Which Has Amazed
Motor World to Remain
Several Days.

The Maxwell nonstop car arrived
in Washington last night, and for sew
eral days will be at the showroom OF
the local distributor, H. B. Leary, 1r.'
1924 Fourteenth street.
This car, whose performance amaz-
ed the automobile world, ran, without
a single stop of the motor, for A days
and A nights, attaining a mileage Of
22,022.3 miles.
Immediately after the test was COM
pIeted, Maxwell officials decided to try
IL out again, and sent IL on a trip
through California; New Mexico, and
Arizona, then back into California and
into Canada by way OF Oregon and
Washington.
In Canada the car is alleged to have
transgressed some Of the many war
time regulations which are in force
In the Dominion, and was taken to the
Kings Bastile, until the government
at Ottawa could be reached.
The car was then released
The nonstop champion has now run
more than 100000 miles, and appar-
entity performs as smoothly as ever.
Some of the upholstery looks little
the worse for wear, and the original
finish is hardly to be made out be-
cause of the inscriptions thereon. but
the car in all its parts Is the same as
when It started on its record-break-
ing trip.
In a recent test held in Baltimore,
with nevspapermen as Judges, the car
developed a mileage of 27l miles on
a gallon of gasolene-the gasolene
measure. being certified to by the
seaIer OF weights and beasures OF
Baltimore.

ments or additions of any kind II Is
in no way different from any other

on the showroom floor.

In 1916 New York entertained 663
conventions. This is the largest num-
Der. on record for any city whose at
fractions are those which a city normal
~ possesses. The only exception was
San Francisco in 1915, which because
Of the Panama Pacific Exposition had
about 700, number Of which were
special or adjourned meetings
Convention visitors IL New York
spent not less than $20,000,000 in cash,
the Merchants association estimates.
How much more the city will profit it
is impossible to calculate, for many of
the 100000 men and women who went
to New York to attend conventions
opened new accounts and formed new
business connections while there.

Burgomaster Max of Brussels was reported seriously i'll in prison at Celle, Prussian town twenty-three miles northeast of Hanover. King Alfonso of Spain is said to have in- tervened fruitlessly in his behalf.
 Lawyers of Brussels recently unan- imously elected Adolphus Max, the heroic burgomaster imprisoned by Germans, as president of the Bar as- sociation. The announcement of his election was received with rousing cheers, regardless of the fact that German sentries were posted at the Palace of Justice, where the election took place.
 Burgomaster Max was arrested in Brussels on September 2s, 1914, for his 'irreconcilable attitude," accord ing to announcement of the German military governor. After being inn prisoned at various places in Ger many he was interned in prison at Glatz. Paris papers some time ago asked President Wilson, the pope, and the king of Spain to intervene in his behalf. More recently the Belgians offered to exchage the governor general of German East Africa, Dr. Schnee, for M. Max.
