Paige Stock Car Makes Fine Showing
in Memorial Day Event.

Bowling along at steady unvary-

Paige car, "Six-51" stock chassis, COW
cred 80 miles in % minutes and four
seconds in the Cincinnati races Men,
orial Day and thus scored a distinct
achievement that it's sponsors regard
as significant.
The event was the 30-mile invitation
race open to stock cars, there being
no restrictions as to motor size. The
regular Paige "51" model chassis was
used. Therewas no enlargement of the
motor, on enlargement of the valves,
and the crankshaft and camshaft were
the same as those employed in all
"51" models.
The gear ratio on the rear axle was
changed for greater speed, which is
an alteration that can easily be made
for any purchaser and therefore not
vital departure from the regular stock
model The only other changes were
of a similar nature, such as the ad-
dltion of a magnetic for ignition, ad-
ditional oiling facilities an dthe light
ening of the piston and connecting
rods.
The Paige did not stop at the pit
at any time, and in a field of four of
the best known cars finished second.
In view of the conditions that pre-
vailed and the open nature of the race,
the Paige officials are vastly proud of
the showing of their car.

We could never see much to
admire in the Russian troops ex-
cept their numbers, and it is
probable that what little admi-
ration We have had for them as
fighters will be a long time in the
process of restoration. But the
firing squad appears to have
been successful in wedding out
some large part of the more un-
desirable element in the Russian
Army, the headlong flight has
been halted and it possible that
under the reorganized state of af-
fairs the new army may make a
better account OF itself and at
least succeed in engaging the at
tention of a material part OF the
German Army in the east. 1t is
easy to imagine twhat would be
happening to the German Army
in the west at this time, if the
Russians. had been gamely hold
ing their ground. The Germans
had been able, through the
shameful conduct OF the Russians
TO mass their guns and men on
the western front, assembling in
both the greatest array of force
since the war opened, and yet, in
spite OF these preparations on a
tremendous scale, the British and
French won the most signal sue
cess of the present campaign. 1t
marked the beginning OF what
gives promise ofbeinga Waterloo
for Germany. Some OF the "abso
lutely impregnible" German po-
sitions reported to Washington
a few days ago by returned mill
tary experts were captured with
apparently the greatest ease and
with remarkably small loss OF
life, while the French gained po.
sitions OF immense strategic val
ue. Towns by the score were cap
tured and q small army OF pris-
oners was sent to the rear of the
Allied forces. 1t was altogether
the most stirring war news that
has come in many a day. The
results OF this new offensive by
the British and French negative
