He declined to predict when the
ailied-American forces would have q
numerical superiority. This ques-
ton, he suggested, involved . con-
sideration Of how many troops the
Germans had at the outset and how
many potential divisions might be
stripped from the eastern front
"In such a case, where there Is q
longer line and such strong attacks,
the importance of getting Americans
over Is pre-eminent
Strength Of Enemy.
The matter Of the numbers Of en-
emy troops on the western front is q
question that must be considered with
reference to the divisions which have
been known TO be there all alcng and
also with reference to the potential
divisions which might be brought
from the east front
"It is impossible to predict TO-DAY
when a mastering superiority viii be
in the hands OF the allies But the
number Of troops we are sending
across now is limited only by the ca
pacity of the boats to carry them,
and we intend to keep that up"
While pointing out that the drive
now heads toward Paris, the general
pointed out that capture OF the chan
mel ports would have a more imme-
diate and important effeN upon the
whole war situation than would the
fall Of Paris.

AN ATLANTIC PORT June 10
Bringing with her the most thrilling
story Of a night between an armed
merchant vessel and a Hun sub
marine that has ever reached this
port through the mouths Of survivors,
the steamer Keemun put into harbor
this morning after a running night
Thursday evening with a U-boat that
mounted fve-inch guns, and was as
fast as the Keemun.
According to the story told by the
captain Of the vessel, the submarine
attacked the Kcemun at $3.50 o'clock
Thursday night of the Virginia
coast
With the FIRST shell from the sea
pirates. the doughty gun crew OF the
Eeemun opened fire on the subma-
rine which is said TO be one OF the
largest
The range then was 1000 yards.
and with shells from ths five-inch
gun OF the U-bOat throwing up four-
tains or spray around the keemun a
running fight started which lasted
until the keeTrun fired her last shot
at II, 900 yards, or about seven miles.
The Keemuns guns replied hotiy
returning shell for shell, with the
submarine making the same speed the
armed merchantman did. Both sped
through the water at twelve knots an
hour. Just how many shots were ex-
changed could not be accurately
learned, but it Is said the battle was
one Of the hottest fought in these
waters between a merchant vessel and
German submarine.
The Keemun made quarantine early
this morning, and the naval authOri-
ties here, II is said, obtained a
lengthy statement from her captain
and forwarded 1t at once to Wash
.ngton.

There are several versions of the
connection Of the hare with Easter,
but the hare custom is exclusively pa
gan In origin and has nothing to do
with the Christian festival. In the East,
the hare played a part In the mythical
life and adventures Of Buddha. In
fact, several hare myths come out OF
india, the great reservoir Of religious
symbolism.

DRIVING MOTOR WITH BRAINS
Amateur Must Learn That Brakes Are
Least Effective When They Are
Most Needed.

One of the first things for the anna
teur driver to learn is that, unfortu-
nate as it may be-. the brakes are less
effective when they are most needed,
writes III. w. Shusen in Leslie's. When
descending steep hills the weight of the
car is, to a large degree, taken off Of
the tires, for the force of gravity is
straight downward. This means that
the wheel on even a heavy car will
slip more easily, when coasting down
steep grade, and skidding, is, there
fore, far more liable to take place.
With the engine positively connected,
however, and turning the wheels over
Mt slow rate of speed slipping, and,
therefore, skidding, cannot take place.
The other condition in which braking
effect Is reduced to minimum is on
slippery streets. The brakes may be
so set that they are able to lock the
wheels and cause them to slide even
on the driest pavement, but the brak-
ing effect of sliding wheels is not near
~ so great as that obtained before
sliding is allowed to take place. With
slippery pavement 1t must be remem-
bered that the brakes can only be used
effectively to the point when sliding is
just about to occur.

EASTER SUNDAY
new YEARS DAY
Originally Marked the Beginning
of the Twelve NOTWITHSTANDING
Festivals in Vogue Long
Before the Time of
Christianity.
By REV. ARTHUR HOLT.

~ ASTER Sunday was formerly
- equivalent to New Years day (;
though not the first day Of the
year it was the day on which
the opening Of the year was celebrated.
Historically the Christian Easter is
simply continuation Of the Jewish
Passover, which was celebrated on the
14th day of the first month of the Jew
ish year-that is, on the day of the
first full moon next following the day
of the equinox. 1t has been questioned
whether any special observance Of this
day was practiced or enjoined by the
apostles and the early Church Fa-
5:7-S) seem to sanction If they do not
recommend an observance of some sort
and foreshadow the thought which
came finally to underlie it,: 'For even
Christ our passover is sacrificed for
us. Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven, neither with the
leaven of malice and wickedness, but
with the unleavened bread Of SINGER
ity and truth" According to the jew
ish tradition, the Passover commemo-
rated the passing of the Angel of
Death over the houses Of the Israelites
In Egypt, the doorposts and lintels Of
which had been sprinkled with the
blood of the paschal lamb. The Chris
tians, in adopting the festival, gave 1t
a new significance. For them the Saw
Tor became the true Paschal Lamb, and
the new festival concentrated His
resurrection on the third day following
the Crucifixion.
The proper day for celebrating East
err was one of the questions which the
Council of Nice "a. d. $3.50 was called
upon to decide. By the Eastern Chris
t.ans 1t was at that time celebrated on
the same day as the Jewish Passover
without regard to the day of the week
on which it might fall. Among the
Western Christians, who held that the
crucifxion occurred on Friday ana
the resurrection ON Sunday, there
had arisen custom of celebrating
Easter on the first Sunday following
the 14th of the first month, and to this
custom was given the official SANCTION
of the council. Furthermore, the rule
then established for fixing upon the
proper Sunday was designed partly 10
prevent the possibility of Easter ever
falling on the same day as the Pass
over, but the rule has failed ON several
occasions to prevent this coincidence
and at rare intervals the two festivals
came together.
Changes in Calendar.
The old Roman year, like the Jewish
year. began in March, when the sun en-
tcred the constellation Aries. When the

ii of the Monotony.

The days were wonderful, and the
alterations of sun and wind were as
exciting as the discovery of the
strange Malayan beasts and birds. The
sun rose softly-no breeze moved

den, distant waterfall. In early after
noon-one never knew just when-the
faintest of breezes sifted down and
blurred the lacery of tree-ferr. shad-
ows. The wind was cool and soon
strengthened, and by night the air was
surging violently through the gap, ST.
phoned from the cold SUBMITS down
to the hot, humid valleys. Day after
day one reawakened to the sense Of
tropical surroundings from a convic-
ton of a northern autumn, with the
wind full Of swirling leaves and the
fronds soughing with the same sad
cadence as the needles Of scented
pines Of the northland.-William Bee

calendar was reformed under julius
Caesar, the year was made to begin on
the first day Of January. After the
adoption of Christianity in Europe, the
date of the beginning of the year was
changed to March in most countries, so
that Easter became recognized as a
New Years day. The reform of the
calendar by Pope Gregory, in 1852,
again changed the day on which the
year began, although in England it
continued to begin on the 25th of
March until the adoption Of the new
style" there in 1852.
Christianity found Spring festivals
already in vogue in heather Europe,
and to these oldtime festivals many Of
the customs and superstitious rites still
connected with Easter are clearly
traceable. The name Easter, given to
the day by the Teutonic nations-the
Roman nations have retained the old
Hebrew name, pascha, under modified
forms, as the Jour de Paques, of the
French-is derived by Bede from Eos
ter or Ostara, the name Of an old
Anglo-Saxon goddess, in whose honor
Spring festival was celebrated.
Grimm was unable to find any mention
of deity of this name among the an
cient Germans, but from the fact that
the month of April still bears the name
ostermonat Tin Old High German os-
tarmanoth), he did not doubt that such
goddess, probably 'the divinity of
the radiant dawn" had been known
among them. The old Oster festival
was clearly Of a solar character, cell
ebration in honor of the birth or the
rejuvenation of the sun of the new
year. This is made evident, aside from
the known character of similar fesu-
walls in other parts OF, the world by
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1918-03-30
AUTO Is ESSENTIAL
TO AMERICAN PEOPLE
necessary to Maintain Standard
OF Human Efficiency.
II would Be Just About as Easy 70
Get Along Without Telephone.
Telegraph, Typewriter, Street
Car or Elevator.

Could the American people get
along without the automobile?
Undoubtedly they could, but no cas-.
Ter than they could get along without
typewriter, telegraph, telephone, street
car and elevator. 1t is necessary in or
DER to maintain present standards of
human efhciency. 1t Is one of the
Things that has made us great in
achievement, because it has kept us in
close touch with others. It has re-
duced miles to yards, hours to min
utes.
Fulfill Obligations.
There is, therefore, feeling in Off
cial, as well as In civic circles. that
after the automobile plants have full.
filled their obligations and handed
over to the government whatever ia
cilities are necessary for the manu-
facture of munitions. they can best
fulfill their duty to help win the war
by building plenty of cars.
Thus this year will see many of our
factories busy all night and day sup
plying the boys cover there" with
their requirements, and the folks left
behind with theirs. In both these du-
ties-to the soldier and to the civilian
the automobile industry will be help
ing materially to rout the enemy.
Just as physical fitness in the SOL
der is the prime essential on the bat
so it is equally important that
there be at hand every aid to prompt
and energetic action on the part of
those at home.
Beneficial Results.
There is scarcely phase or feature
Of business life which the automo-
bile has not entered with beneficial
results. 1t carries thousands where
railroads and street cars cannot pene-
rate. 1t is ready at call.
These facts are more generally real
zed than ever since we entered the
var. People have ceased to think of
he automobile In terms of pleasure
'nly. They know, by proof of eye
md personal experience, that it is a
,reat and indispensable utility.

MAY CAUSE SERIOUS MISHAP
Slack Adjustment Is Worthy Of
Consideration.

Loose check nuts on the rods in the
braking system may become the cause
of serious mishap If they are not rem
edied in time.
When the check is removed from the
turnbuckle or other adjustment the
tendency of the vibration is to loosen
the adjustment. of the bands. AS this
the chance of having the brakes fail
through slack adjustment is worth tax
ing into consideration.
