Third Birthday of
Peerless Dealers

The Van Cortlandt Vehicle Corpora
ton, general distributor Of Peerless
eight-cylnder cars, celebrated its third
anniversary last week by banquet at
the New York Athletic Club. Under
the management of Walter A: Woods
this organization was successfui from
the start and this year has marketed
nearly 1000 Peerless cars. Woods lays
his success to the product and his or
ganzation. which is practically the
same to-day as when he started.
II was on November 81, 1916, that
Woods and his associates took over the
Peerless line and opened headouarlers
on Broadway at Sixty-third street,
where they are to-day. When ne opened
for business Woods had no dealers.
Now ne has one of the strongest SELL
ing and distributing organizations IN
This mart of the country, all the deal
ers being enthusiastic over the car ana
the general policy OF the company ser
vice to the owner is the most impoi
tant item in the Van Cortlandt pusi,
ness code. The company does not BIND
itself 10 ancient customs or guaran-
tees. Its service code is based on the
Golden Rule.
Woods is a Peerless man through
and through, having been with the 1sc-
tory organization before entering the
local field. He held executive posi-
tons both at the factory and in the
New York branch. In the early part
of 1916 he was sent to the Mexican
border by the factory to cooperate WIN
the government in the matter Of truck

drove Peerless truck from Columbus
N. NJ. to General Pershing's headquar-
ters in Mexico. General Pershing had
reached a point where he was unable
TO maintain his line Of communication
for sustaining the army, and Woods,
with others. was called in to look over
the situation and make a report. Woods
spent six months in the field, visiting
all the border towns and superintend-
ing the delivery Of a great fleet OF
Peerless trucks in charge Of specially
picked crews from the Cleveland fac
tory.
Associated with Walter Woods in the
local headquarters are J. A. Clark, re-

And Will Be Present at Con-

Boston, Feb. 24.--Ambassador Francis
home from Russia for the first time in
two years, had several conferences with
President Wilson while coming over on
the George Washington and made several
recommendations for action on the part
Of the allied and American governments
for meeting the bolshevik menace and
restoring Russia to the family of ma
tions Mr.. Francis probably viii disclose
them later when he appears before one
of the congressional committees. He
probably will remain in Washington
some time, advising the state depart
ment and Congress on the situation as
he saw it on leaving.
"A reign of terror instituted by the
bolsheviki, with the purpose of maintain
ing themselves in power, is prevailing
in central and northern Russia, said the
ambassador. The outrages they have
committed are incredible ! think it i'm
possible to restore peace to Europe with
chaos prevailing in Russia I'm fact, with
Germany practically uninjured industri-

negotiated with bolsheyik rule contin-

WERE SHoRTLIVED.
Various Spartacan Republics Set Up
Through Germany.

FaIlouS SpatLdCan kepuDuCS SET up
Through Germany.
Berlin, Feb. "a Correspondent Of the
Associated Press Various spartacan
republics which from time to time were
established in Germany were shortlived
with the exception of the socialist re-
public of Brunswick" which even after
the election throughout Germany con.
tinued to defy the central government in
every possible manner and did not hest
tate to insult the most exalted members
of the Berlin cabinet, One Berlin pa
per referred to the new state as THE
Fools Republic Of Brunswick"
The president of Brunswick is named
Metges, He left his apprenticeship to a
tailor and has made an uncertain living
as a "bushelman.' His wife still retains
her position as an usher in a Brunswick
theatre, and is quoted by her neighbors
as having said, None OF my husbands
plans ever lasted very long, and it will be
the same with this one, so | am keeping
my job"
The ce-president of Brunswick is a
Metges. He left his apprenticeship to a
cabaret before the establishment Of the
republic" The minister of education is
woman named Fasshauer, who was
once a domestic servant, and later en-
ployed as a Charwoman by a woman's
club She then became a laundress.
The Office of police president is held
by a locksmith who, it is said, objected
to taking the place because he had no
faith in its permanency and who could
only be induced to accept it after his
emperor had promised to re-employ him
if he wanted it.
The government of Brunswick, which
holds power only by armed force, and
which is opposed by an overwhelmed ma
jority of the people, as proved by the
result of the national assembly elections,
has organized a national guard and ma
rine division. These men receive IA
marks daily and "found." This sum is
soon to be increased to II marks. Large
numbers of the unemployed joined the
divisions because of the high pay. Guam
titles of ammunition were collected in
the Trand Ducal palace, and the spar
tacan rulers seemed determined to de-
fend their position by force of arms,
All citizens who can do so are leaving
the city. Brunswick is issuing floods
of paper money which the peasants re-
fuse to accept and which is worthless
outside the boundaries of the state.
Newspapers are punished by fines or
orders suspending publication if they
offend through articles which displease
the spartacans while the spartacan or.
gan, the Volks Freund, alone enjoys un-
trammeled liberty. Freedom of speech is
prohibited at all non partisan meetings.

BRITISH TROOPS KEPT
IN OUT OF WAY PLACES
And There Is No Immediate Prospect Of
Withdrawal of the Forces Although
There Have Been Reductions.

London, Feb. "a Correspondence Of
| the Associated Press A glance at the
maps of Europe and Asia on which are
| designated positions OF British troops
shows them to be rather well spotted.
| For one reason or another the British
war department still considers it neces-
sary to keep troops in some of the out
! of-the-way places of the world. While it
is planned to reduce most of the forces
there is no immediate prospect OF the
withdrawal of any force.
In the Balkans the British are using
their forces as stabiizing influence
against the varied ambitions Of the sew
eral states. In trans-Caspa, northwest
of Afghanistan, they are protecting the
population from Turkish excuses, the
result Of the refusal of the Turks to
realize they have been beaten in the war.
In trans -Caucasia they are fighting the
Russian bolsheyiki In northern Italy
they are acting as a buffer between the
Italians and Czecho.Slovaks until the
peace conference settles differences there,
Several commands are in Russia and
fairly large forces are being maintained
in India, Mesopotamia and nothern
Persia,
Three divisions of the force sent to
Italy in 1917 remain but in considerably
reduced numbers. Many men have been
| demobilized and none sent TO replace
them. One battalion is at Fiume, an.
other in northern Tyrol. A part of this
| force will be used for the allied army of
occupation in Austria.
| The three divisions in the Balkans are
stationed in the Dobrudja which is the
subject of considerable controversy be.
tween Rumania and Bulgaria, near Con-
stantinople and the Dardanelles and in
the vicinity of Salouki.
In Egypt and Palestine there might be
more trouble with the Turks il British
force was not maintained there, while in
Mesopotamia it is feared the inhabitants.
freed even of Turkish control, would
| start fighting among themselves If not
controlled by the military These inhu-
enees necessitate keeping a certain mum
Der of troops in these areas, in the opin-
ion of the war office officials here.
The British have troops in Russia on
the Thurman coast, south Of Archangel,
and at Omsk while at Nladiyostok is a
| brigade Of Canadians.
There is a British garrison Of 10000 in
India and it is not expected to reduce
this force until just before the heated
season begins Then 1t is planned to
bring home about 10000 if shipping ia
ciities are available. This is an I'm /.
usually large garrison for India but the
war and colonial office officials believe a
large garrison will be necessary for some
! time.
