How the Bicycle Frame Developed
Many Experimental Stages Before the Simple
Diamond Frame Design Was
Finally Evolved. IL II

cally unchanged in general appear.
ance and design for twenty years, il
is probable that the younger riders
of this generation look upon the
machine as having been evolved di-
rectly in its present form. But this
simplicity and efficiency was not
achieved in a day. 1t was the out
come Of over ten years of expert
ment and practical experience.
The old Ordinary" with its large
front driving wheel, straight front
forks and curved backbone, was a
model of simplicity of construction,
but with the introduction of the low
chain-driven Safety. with its conse-
quent greater completely of frame,
there was much more scope for yari-
alton of design. Accordingly, the
leading makers began the develop
nent of the new type, but as each
maker differed as to the proper form
of frame and size of wheels to adopt,
the greatest possible variety of ma
chimes was brought out, many of
them utterly wanting in scientific de-
sign
Although James K. Starley ere
ated the first successful rear-driving
Safety in 1884 due credit should be
given to H. ]. Lawson, a prolific in
vcntor in the early days of the Brit
ish bicycle trade, who in 1879 built
a machine very similar to Starley's
first Rover, but he was before his
time and was laughed at by the rest
of the trade.
However, the success of the Rover
started the safety first movement
in earnest, and in 1885 the Humber
Antelope, Pioneer and several other
safeties made their appearance.
These machines differed from the
Rover in frame design and in having
very small front wheels, giving pc
culiar and awkward steering. The
Rover frame of 1885 showed the be-
ginning of the diamond frame idea;
this was known as the open or I'M
braced frame.
The prevailing model of 1887 con-
sisted of a simple ,crossframe as IT,
lustrated. Small .stay rods various
ly placed were in4general use on this
type of frame. A later variation
was the semi-dhmond, a combina-
ton of the cross,and diamond frame

American makers did not take up

Paris, May Assuming that the
Clemenceau ministry will be dissolved
soon after the termination of the
peace deliberations. a military party
designed to support the aims of Mar
shall Foch has made its appearance
on the French political stage.
The immediate purpose of the or
ganiLers of the new movement is to
supplant the Tiger" with some states
man more amenable to nationalistic
and eXpansionistic doctrines They see
in Andre Tardieu an ideal exponent of
of their ideas and a politician who. if
raised to the premiership, would work
in closer accord with Marshal Foch
than Premier Clemenceau has done of
late.
While it Is too early to say whether
NJ. Tardieu. the former high commits
sioner to the United States, would I'M
dertake to head cabinet consecrated
to the policy of annexation and Mill
tary boundaries advocated by Marshal
Foch, there is no doubt of the sympa-
thetic relations existing between the
two men.
Strongly Supported Foch.
NJ Tardieu warmly supported the
marshal's proposals before the council
of ministers a few days ago, and, it is
understood, shares Marshal Fochs be-
lief in the Rhine as military frontier
for France.
Premier Clemenceau on the other
band, has rejected several planks in
Marshal Foch's platform, notably his
proposed military campaign against
the Bolsheviki. When Foch urged the
cabinet to insist that as the interallied
generalissimo he be authorized to is
sue a general order directing all the
forces on the Rhine to advance into
Germany in the event of the German
delegates refusal to sign the prelim-
mary peace treaty, Premier Clemenc-
eau shook his head and remarked
crisply, that that was a matter for the
allied and associated governments to
pass upon, Therefore, despite M. Tar
deus championship, the cabinet ruled
against the marshal.
Thus far the military party, of which
Maurice Barres an ardent nationalist
and a prolific writer in the militaristic
and anti-Wilson Echo de Paris, is one
of the leaders, has made little Roadway
in the chamber of deputies. The depu-
ties, with a few exceptions, are dis
counting the voluntary or enforced
retirement of the present govern
ment in the near future.
The premiers principal collabora-
tors, Foreign Minister Pchon and
Finance Minister Klotz, are sadly
bereft Of parliamentary support.
Even "the Tiger himself has lost
much ground politically. The socialis-
tie left, augmented by the dissatisfied
moderate elements oppose him with
consistent bitterness, while the clerical
and conservative right, staunch sup
porters of Marshal Fochs theories,
feel that Clemenceau has been insuffi-

Opnion Divided ON Ability.
The thought of military dictator-
ship, of the traditional man on horse
back is never absent from the minds
of French liberals. So, while all class
es appreciate and applaud the mar
shals supreme genius as COMMANDER
of armies, there is a wide divergence
Of opinion as to his abilities in the do

And il is Foch the statesman and not

The bulk of the deputies therefore.
are inclined to shy at a ministry too
clearly Identified with the nationalist
toryism represented by those in whose
eyes Marshal Foch, in any capacity,
can do no wrong.
The trend in the corridors of the
chamber is toward former Premier
Aristde BRAND. The suppleness OF
his mental processes and his record,
Brands numerous adherents aver,
would be a valuable asset to a French
government in this troubled period of
reconstruction. NJ BRAND, they say,
could assimilate the new ideas in
world politics without altogether
abandoning the old precedents deemed
essential to Frances safety.
He could revive the sacred union in
parliament and reunite all parties in
a liberalism that would appeal to the
radical left without unduly offending
the conservative right
Failing NJ BRAND, there is a remote
possibility that the chamber of depu-
ties might swing further to the left
and elect as premier moderate So
cialist of the Albert Thomas type,
but this is extremely improbable. M.
Thomas, formerly minister of NUM-
tons, would be sure of the antipathy
of the nationalist and by no means
sure of socialist support, for the ma
iority of his comrades have espoused
far more advanced doctrines than his
own.
Meanwhile the Mathis attacks upon
Premier Clemenceau are continued al
most daily Demanding the abolition
of the censorship the Matin observes:
The solitude in which the premier
shuts himself up deprives him not
merely of the support of public
opinion but of information and argu-
ment. II oblges him to think of every
thing himself and condemns him to
infaliibility."

the chamber of deputies is prepared
to accept M. Tardieu, standing on a
platform built by the followers of
Marshal Foch as Premier Clemen-
ceau's successor.
Question of Visiting America.
Nor is there any definite indication
of Premier Clemenceau's attitude to-
ward the military party's scheme.
President Poincare is on the friend
lest terms with Marshal Foch Men
close to the Elysee palace have sound
ed members of the American mission
as to whether it would be advisable
for the marshal to accompany the
president of the republic on the visit
to the United States which President
Poincare means to make on the earli-
est possible occasion after President
Wilson's return to Washington.
Realizing that many of Marshal
Foch's beliefs are irreconcilable with
the Wilsonian principles. French Off
cialdom snaturally a bit doubtful as
whether the great soldier would be al
together welcome to the present adj
ministration in America
Viewed from any angle, Marshal
Foch is today the subject of more
controversy than any other man in
France. Nobody knows Just how far
he means to go in the direction he has
mapped out-the safeguarding of
