Motor Wheel Rims.
How many automobilists are there
who ever remove their rims from the
wheels until forced to do so BY reason
of tire trouble? Very few, is the an
swer. If they did take the rims off
after having run the car for short
time and use a little graphite in be-
tween the wheel and the demountable
rim they'd find tire changing easier lat
er on. AS it is, rims are sometimes so
rusted and plastered ON that they take
an unconscionable time to remove
when the need finally does arrive

ASKS RELEASE OF
 AMERICAN SAILORS
REDETENTION OF AMERICANS FROM YARROWDALE PROTEST
 ED-WiESON SENDS INQUIRY.

Washington.-An inquiry concern Ing the redetenUion by Germany of the American seamen brought in by the prize ship Yarrowdale was dispatched to Berlin by the United States, pre- Lminary to more vigorous action if the men are not promptly released.
 The plight of these sailors occupied much of the time of the cabinet meet ing, given over to the crisis growing out of Germany's submarine warfare. It was agreed that their liberty again should be demanded in most emphati i, fashion. Pending complete reports as to the treatment of German crews on war-bound ships in the Philippines, Hawaii and elsewhere, however, the government will content itself with the inquiry as to why the Americans are held and under what conditions.
 News that an official statement had been issued at Berlin announcing the last day of grace" allowed neutral shipping before the unrestricted sub marine warfare went into full effect did not appreciably increase tension here. There has been full realization ever since the sinking of the Anchor liner California that the German cam- paign is being carried on in defiance of the United States and that Provi- denee only is to be thanked that the overt act against American life that will precipitate war has not been com mitted
 There were strong indications dur ing the day that the severance of re- lations with Germany be extended to the other central powers. Austria $ adherence to Germany's position is regarded as practically certain 10 force a break with that country. Am bassador Elkus at Constantinople was instructed to ascertain whether sub marines operating under the Turkis ! flag were under the same instructions as those of Germany and Austria
 Serious difficulties with Turkey al- ready exist over interference with Ar menian and Syrian relief and the de tention of more than 1000 American refugees.
 It develops that no message has been received at the State Department since the break with Germany from either Ambassador Elkus in Constan- tinople or from Consul-General Mur- phy in Sofia. who cares for American interests throughout Bulgaria. All cables to and from both points must 70 through Vienna, but officials have mo indication as to whether they are held up there or by the local Bulga- rian and Turkish authorities.

REMNANTS IF GUARD ORDERED BACK HOME
LAST TROOP TRAIN WILL BE ON WAY NORTH BY MARCH 7-REG-
 ULARS TO GUARD LINE.
FEARS NO GRAVE TROUBLE
Secretary Baker Emphasized That the Withdrawal of State Troops Was in No Way Connected With the
 Crisis With Germany.

Washington.-Order were issued by the War Department directing Gen. Funston to begin the immediate Rehabilitation of all the guard units remaining in border camps and it is expected that the last troop train will be on it's way north by March '.
 Gen. Funston still will have on the border near 50,000 troops, all of the regular army, disposed along the line from Brownsville to Yuma, Ariz., on plans worked out by the general staff. The command includes all of the troops who were in Mexico under Gen. Pershing and their distribution was carried out under the direction of Gen. Eben Swift, who was with the Pershing expedition. Gen. Pershing will remain at Fl Paso, where he is commanding a division including the largest cavalry unit on the line.
 Secretary Baker emphasized that the withdrawal of the state troops is in no way connected with the crisis with Germany, but carries out a pol icy determined on long ago by the ad- ministration.
 The order was issued after Gen Funston had reported that with the new disposition of regulars he felt he had enough men to meet any border exigencies that might arise
 Many guard units already had beei, ordered home during the past few weeks and the number of guardsmen remaining and to be demobilized un- der order is about 53,000
 Administration officials place entire confidence in Gen. Funstons opinion that the force of regulars will be sui ficient. They are understood to have been convinced by the reports of spe- cial observers for the State Depart. ment and the army that while it may be possible for Villa and Zapata fol. lowers to commit minor depredations in the sparsely settled region west of Fl Paso, there is little possibility of a recurrence of raids in the lower Rio Grande country.
 It also is desired that the Carranza government be embarrassed as little as possible in it's efforts to control Mexico, and the maintenance of a large army at the border has been a constant cause of complaint from Mex jeans. The reduction is expected by officials here to have a beneficial eff feet on relations between the two countries, especially just now when diplomatic intercourse is being re sumed
