BUFFALO. Jan. 4.-Speaking here
tonight before the Buffalo Chamber
of Commerce, Secretary of War Baker
declared it inconceivable that the
peace conference would make the
world war an insupportable tragedy
by failing to provide for league of
nations or some other arrangement to
prevent such disasters in the future.

sons, surely have right to some high

not close his eyes and think of the
peace conference at Versailles without
feeling that there hover over it the
spirits of millions of dead men de-
handing that their sacrifices be not
in vain. that the statesmen of the

AS to the proposal for league of
nations, Mr.. Baker said it was not such
a scheme as the Holy Alliance, as sug
gested by some of its critics.

although there is much talk of the
United States having to rely upon
Great Britain and France to supply its
armies with heavy artillery" he said,
nevertheless, American industry did.
IN fact supply to Great Britain and
France practically an equivalent to

"American industry was able to meet
the demands made upon it, and on the
day the armistice was signed our

with American made rifles and machine
guns, some heavy artillery had been

DUAL PNEUMATIC TUBES

One feature OF truck operation
which has found great vogue IN
Europe, but which is believed by
the United States Tire Company to
have very little chance OF any
great adoption here is the use OF
dual pneumatic tires.
The United States Tire Com
pany's experts are of the opinion
that the large single pneumatic tire
meets all the requirements, and
that the use of the dual tire is de-
cidedly unsound practice,
1t is obvious that when a truck
equipped with duals travels over
uneven payements or crowded
roads, most of the weight OF the
car many times rests on one, in
stead OF both of the pair. The one
tire is not strong enough to carry
the full weight and rapid dcterior-
alton of the abused tire is the re-
suit. A further reason why dual
pneumatics should not be used is
that it is a practical impossibility
to initiate the pair to exactly that
point where the load will be equal
ly distributed between them, and
undue wear again results.
The big pneumatic is purely an
American development with the
United States Tire Co. a pioneer
in the field. European tire makers
so far as can be learned were never
successful in producing satisfactory
pneumatics of the large truck
sizes, and contented themselves in
meeting the requirements for addi-
tional strength by the simple ex-
pedient Of using two smaller tires
The big "Nobby Cords OF the
United States Tire Company are
growing rapidly in favor among
thoughtful truck owners who see in
their tough strength the solution
OF many Of the truck problems.
