One of the odd outcroppings of the
negotiations just conducted over the
treaty of peace was the assertion by the
German peace delegation that the terms
fixed by the allies were impracticabe
and that they would sign under duress.
The odd thing is that the Germans
should consider themselves signing in
any other way than under duress The
treaty is not of Germany's framing, of
course, and were Germany acting under
her free viii she would not sign any kind
of treaty which did not give herself
control of a large share of the world.
The statement that Germany would sign
under duress is, therefore, to be taken
as a last, despairing effort on the part of
the German delegation to make it appear
that the treaty, excepting for the details
specifically mentioned, was a treaty of
negotiation rather than that imposed by
the victor on the yanquished. The Ger
man mind is curious combination Of
conceits, and the delusion that Germany
was one of the negotiators for the peace
is one Of those conceits. They are try

The more that is heard Of the plans
and personnel Of the American Legion,
the organization Of soldiers who fought
in the great war, the more general the
popular approval It's leaders seem to be
guided by sound common sense. One fea-
ture that stands out is its sturdy democ-
racy. This was shown at the initial
meeting in St. Louis. No distinctions
were drawn between those who had been
officers and those who had served as pri-
Yates in the ranks The differences that
we're necessary, and so recognized dur
ing the period of active service, were
promptly cast aside when these brave
men met in civil life. Now comes word
that the executive committee of the le-
zion will recommend to the forthcoming
national convention at Minneapolis the
disuse of all military titles in referring

pose Of the American Legion says Hen

military titles in the records and pro.

but to foster the same action on the
part Of state branches and local posts
which are now being formed throughout

The noise which was let loose on Nov,
II, 1918, when the word flashed over the
country at the signing of the armistice,
might well be repeated at the word of
the signing Of the treaty by Germany.
That word does not mark the official
coming of peace because the opposing
nations must attach their signatures to
the document before the treaty becomes
effective; but to all intents and purposes
the war formally ends with the signing
by Germany. Therefore, there will be
good reason for the bells to ring in every
American city, town and hamlet.

No engineering society gave greater
during the war than did the Society of
Automotive Engineers. When the his
tory of the war is written it may we'll
be found that automotive supremacy was
the deciding factor The superiority of
the allied motor transport system and
the allied supremacy in the air had an
immediate bearing upon allied victory.
The submarine chaser. the airpane
and seaplane and the blimp were OF vital
Importance In overcoming the submarine
menace. Foch's unrelenting pursuit of
the German hordes was made possible
by the motor truck and the ordnance
tractor. The automotive engineer is re-
sponsible for the design, production ana
operation of the apparatus which played
so large a part In winning the war, and
to him credit must be given.
These facts are we'll known to those
who are familiar with the work of the
S. A. f. in the war. The society has
done its bit. and its record is one of
which it's members are Justly proud.
The part played by the automotive en-
gineer was truly Of great importance
and through It's membership, as we'll as

NEW ACCESSORIES AT SHOW

Galleries of Both the Garden and the Sixtynnth Regi-
ment Armory Give More Space Than Before
for These Displays.

Each season for the past nineteen
years at the annual automobile shows
the accessories have We'd with the cars
themselves. Thousands of visitors who
have not gone to the shows to purchase
new cars nevertheless have been In tho
market for accessories and features that
would make their old car run better and
perhaps give greater comfort.
At the nineteenth annual New York
Automobile Show. February / TO Is. the
display of accessories, parts aud sun
dries promises to be larger than at any
show In the past and therefore more in
teresting, for during the last decade or
more there never has been sufficient

accessory exhibitors desiring space.

The fact that this season cars are to
be shown in both Madison Square Car
den and the SiXty-ninth Regiment Ar
mory means that cars and chassis will
not be exhibited in the balconies, lcav-

ever before.
This holds true Of both weeks of tho
double header" show-thc first for pas
