with a violation of General Per-
shing's order forbidding them to talk

OF MOTORISTS
AIDS THIEVES
Police Chief Warns Auto
Owners to Put Their
Marks on Cars

Motorists who would protect them
selves against automobile thefts
should mark their cars with signs
Of Identification, according to the
warning OF ]. Edward wetzel, chief
of police. made necessary by the
number OF disappearance of motor
cars reported to the police depart
ment.
Not one mark, but a number of
distinctive marks scattered on var
ious parts of the car is the proper
way of securing it against theft. po-
lice say. All parts of the car should
be marked with the same individual
mark OF the owner, so that identi-
fication after 1t is stolen, and then
recovered, would be easy.
Hard TO Identify
With the arrest recently of a
fence" for stolen cars, il was learn
ed that his method was to tear apart
automobiles handled by him, and dis
pose of the parts to various dealers
and motorists. who often would not
know they were handling stolen
goods. Thus a motorist whose auto
mobile passed into the hands of the
renee would be unable to identify
il, as the various parts would not be
marked.
In court automobile thieves re-
sort to the lack of Identification
proofs furnished by the owners of
stolen automobiles, and often secure
acquittals on those grounds. After a
thief had stolen q machine and
changed the license tag, and per-
haps painted the body, it was a SIM
pie matter to contest the owners
proprietorship. That is the principle
reason advanced for marking all
parts of an automobile with the
owners name, rather than depending
upon the engine. manufacturing and
license number for proofs of owner
ship.
The police will enforce a rigid
campaign against auto thieves, in an
effort to break up the growing prac-
tise OF Joy riding" and automobile
stealing.

PLACE BLAME FOR WAR
German Officials Are Looking
Into Foreign Office Records.
Former Kaiser, Crown Prince, Gen.
eraI Ludendorff and Adrirai
Tirpltz Are Accused.

Washington, Dec. 26:-Mr. Kautzky,
commissary of the people at the Ger
man foreign office, ascribes responsil'
ity for the war and it's prolongation
to the following i'm order:
First, the German emperor and the
crown prince; second, General Luden-
dorff and Admiral Won Tirpitx; third,
the great Industrial concerns; fourth,
the pan-Germans.
This view of Mr.. Kautzky, who is
examining documents In the archives
Of the foreign ministry, was given to
a correspondent of the Petit 'Parisien
in an interview, quotations from. which
reached Washington in official dis.
patches.
The documents SO far as examined,
Kautzky said, prove the truth of state
ments made by DR.. Muelhon, director
of the Krupp factories, and by Prince
Lichnowski, German ambassador to
England at the outbreak OF the war,
both of whom have laid the war at
Germany's doors.
The first part of the documents re.
lating to the cause of the war will be
made public within month, Kautzky
said, and at the same time the Aus.
trian government will publish some
of the documents found in the arch.
ives Of the Ballplatz.

II hope that it will cheer the people
at home to know that find their boys
over here in fine form and in fine
spirits, estemeed by all those with
whom they have been associated in
the war, and trusted wherever they
go, and they will also, I am sure, be
cheered by the knowledge Of the fact
that throughout the great nations
with whom we have been associated
in this war public opinion strongly
sustains all proposals for just and
lasting peace and q close cooperation
of the self.governing peoples Of the
world in making that peace secure
after it's present settlements are for
mulated. Nothing could constitute .
more acceptable Christmas reassur'
ance than the sentiments which
find everywhere prevalent"

of Allied Leaders.
SPEAKS AT CHkuM0NT
Welcome Presented to Him at
+ City Hall Soon After Reach
ing French Town.

Chaumont, Dec. 26.-President Will
son, in his address to the American
soldiers, said that he did not find in
the hearts of the great leaders with
whom he was cooperating any dif-
ference of principle or of fundamental
purpose. -
In response to an address presented
to him at the City hall soon after his
arrival here, President Wilson said:
II feel that have been peculiarly
honored in the generous reception you
have given me and it is the more de-
lightful because it so obviously comes
from the heart. And cannot but be-
lieve that it is an instructive response
to the feeling that is in my own breast,
because I think that even you, who
feel contact with our soldiers, cannot
but realize the depth and sincerity of
the feeling of the United States for
France. ..
Old Friendship Renewed.
1T is an ancient friendship, but it
has been renewed and has taken on a
new youth. It IL a friendship which
is not only tentative, but one based
upon communion of principle.
''You' have spoken very generously
and beautifully of the relations which
have sprung up between yourselves
and our soldiers. That is because
they came not only to associate them
selves with you as the champions of
liberty, but they came with personal
affections in their hearts for the peo-
pie of France and it must have been
that which you realized. They did
not come as strangers in their
thoughts. They brought with them
something that made them feel al
home the moment they were at Havre
or at Brest in France.
Says Vive la France.
$50 I am very much moved by be-
ing thus drawn, as they have been in
to your midst and into your confer
ences and wish to thank you very
warmly for them and the people of
the United States. I, like them, shall
carry away with me the most delight
full recollections and in my heart shall
always say as now say, 'Vive La
France.'"- ~ G1 5@-
