NEW u. S.
AIR MOTOR
IS SUCCESS
(SpeciaI to The Times.)

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The
idea of a new American motor to
drive Uncle Sans aeroplanes was
first conceived May 26, 1917. An
appropriation of $250,000 by con-
gress for expenses of experiments
ton and development was made
June 4. 1917.
What sort of a record has been
made in the year in production OF
this motor-the Liberty Motor
as we call it?
England and France have in
the development Of aeroplane en-
gines required about a year and a
half from the first work on a new
engine before it was gotten into
production.
The Liberty Motor, however,
has been put in quantity machine
production in considerably less
than one year, and has been i'm
proved from the original design
SO that instead of providing 800
horse power it now develops 46O
horse power.
On May 26, 191S-one year
/ to a day from the first concep.
ton of such a motor-1267 com.
lpleted motors had been delivered
This output represented deliv
cries of practically only three
months. and the rate Of delivery
| is multiplying rapidly each week
Liberty motors installed OF
army and navy planes are proving
their superior qualities, and Eng
| land and France have both placed
large orders for Liberties will
which to equip their heavy bomb
ling and combat planes.
The last act Of Andre Tardieu
French high commissioner, before
sailing for Europe three weeks
ago, was to wire back from New
York an order for $50 Libert!
motors a month for special typ'
| of plane of which France is pro
lducing $50 monthly.
For despite all that has beef
said. the Liberty motor Is one o
the really big war achievements o
the past year.

Home guards of Tacoma Mon
day night were emphatic in their
denunciation of the teaching Of
German in the public schools here
and voted unanimously that it be
prohibited not only in the public
schools but at public meetings,
and that the publication of Ger

S. Hampton Wade, declaring
himself in favor of the resolution
told the audience that German
textbooks were among the most
subtle vehicles in the enemy's
propaganda campaign. ut stands

modern civilization" said Mr..
Wade.
A little sensation was furnished
when a man in the rear of the au-
dience rose and speaking in brok-
en- English with strong German
accent said:
Il speak German today and
am going to continue to speak
German. All that speak German
are not subjects of the kaiser.
You Americans do not distinguish
between the various nationalities
using the German tongue"
Altho many in the audience
plainly showed their disapproval
of the mans remarks, there was
no demonstration and the affair
passed off without any comment
from the chair or the audience. A
little later however, the man, ap-
parently unable TO contain him

MARINE FRONT - American
troops signalized their appearance
in the new battle of the Marine
yesterday evening by defeating the
Germans in two sensational coun.
ter attacks.
In conjunction with the French
they hurled back German bat
talon which had forced the frs,
crossing of the Marine, south OF
Jaulgonne. This town is midway
between Chateau Thierry and Yer
neuil, which represents the Ia
mile front by the enemy north OF
the river.
Further to the northeast, an
American detachment, operating
alone, stopped the Hun advance at
mans back to the northward. This
mans backto the northward. This
represented the high tide of the
enemy's westward progress during
the day and stood out above a
series of temporary French de-
feats to the north and southwark.
Between the Aisne and Disc
rivers the Germans failed to gain,
but to the southwark, between the
Aisne and the Ourcy, and between
the Ourcq and the Marine they
took seven villages. Two of these,
Mosley and Neuilly-la-Porterie,
were taken and retaken several
times and their ultimate fate was
still in doubt.
On the eastern portion of the
new front, between the Marine and
Rheims, there was no change.

Accelerate gradually, as this requires
less gasoline than trying to reach top
speed quickly. Anticipate your stops.
close the throttle before you reach the
stopping place. and coast to n stand
still.
Keep your car running at top eff
cheney. This means keeping the motor
free from carbon, rs a carbonized mo-
tor consumes an excessive amount of
fuel. Use good grade of oil In the
motor, and keep all moving parts well
fabricated to reduce friction losses.
Run the car on high rs mush as pos
sibie, us this Is the economical speed.
Keep the tires well inflated, as soft
tires waste power. See that the
brakes do not bind and cause friction
when the car Is running. Finally. use
kerosene instead Of gasoline for clean

Automobile fires, their causes and

taken up by Prof. Clyde II. Pratt,
president OF the Cleveland Automobile
school.
"Desplte the many genera, cam

owners and chnuffeurs in precautions
against fire, enough cases continue to
occur to warrant a word Of caution
and an additional word of prevention"
says Professor Pratt.
"While automobile fires do not Al
ways originate from causes considered
to be within the control of the driver,
the great majority are entirely unnec-
essary as well as preventable. The
principal cause. of cougse, and the one
which occurs most frequently. Is back
firing. Although 1t is unnecessary to
enumerntc all the causes that lead up
to backfiring. 1t Is well to point out
that the chief one is n mixture that Is
too lean when fed to the cylinders.
