Council of Four Finally Dispose OF

ONE PROBLEM REMAINS
iuqo-slaV and Italian Claims In the
Adriatic Are the Most Important
Dispute Awaiting Settle
ment.

Paris, April 19.-The Council OF
Four has finally disposed of the Pol
ish-German boundary question.
No announcement was made Of the
decisions taken, but ii is understood
that Danzig will be internationalized,
while the Poles will have a corridor
running from that city to their frontier
to give them access to the sea.
Only routine work in connection
with the coming OF the German dele
gates was taken up. The most impor'
tant remaining question to be settled
is that of the Jugo-Slav and Italian
claims in the Adriatic. Baron Sidney
Sonnino, Italian foreign minister, will
set forth the Italian case, a. is ex-
pected.
italian Claims Chief Topic.
With David Lloyd George, British
prime minister, again in his seat after
his visit TO London, where he defended
his actions at the Peace conference
before the House of Commons, the
Council of Four renewed its hearing
of the claims of the Italians to the
important Adriatic seaport of Fiume
and also had under discussion the
question of the Polish claims to Dan.
zig on the Baltic.
The council met at the white
House" the residence in Paris of
President Wilson.
The opinion prevails in Paris that
with the Italian demands now the re-
naming obstacle to a full agreement,
the situation is such that President
Wilson will be able to sail homeward
in midway with a signed copy Of the
peace treaty for submission TO con-
gress. 1t is believed congress will be
called in extra session not later thar,
June /.
Little opposition to the peace is ex-
pected from the Germans, according
to reports in circulation in Paris, as
they are declared to be anxious for a
return to peace conditions at the ear.
Hest moment possible. 1t is asserted
that there is to be no German text
of the treaty-the document to be
issued only in French and English.

as the piston starts to travel upward, this intake port closes, and the gases start to compress. The piston raVe!s up, compressing these gases, until the spark ignites them, driving the piston down. with all the force made possible by the spherical-shaped combustion chamber. direct above the piston,. As the piston travels downward, the large unobstruCted port opens wide, com pletely clearing the entire chamber of all burned gases. The piston again comes up, assisting in clearing the chamber, before making its next downward movement of sucking in the gas. There are no extra pockets to allow dead gases to hide in.
 We will now say a few words on the matter of carbon in the Knight motor. Mir. Knight seems to have been the only one who has solved the carbon problem in relation to motors. Instead of carbon shortening the life of, and deteriorating the motor, it builds up the motor, and we can, with exactness, state that the Knight motor is the only motor made that, as per haps you have noiced advertised in the national journals, improves with use. The carbon has the effect of smoothing over the high places and filling in the low places. making the sleeves and piston as smooth as glass. It also seals the compression ring, making an air tight chamber. Car bon is known to science as one of the
 hardest substances known with it's relation 10 steel.
 The one big feature which we wish to call yOur attention to is the oiling system. MT Knight perfected what is known as the simplest and most per- feet oiling system in any type of mo

DENVER PROHIBITION
 PROVES PROFITABLE
(Chica ge News)

Denver, Col.-This city has started on it's fourth year of prosperity under prohibition. Not only Denver, but every community in the sate is so well satisfied that it would be impos- sible to vote the state back into the wet column. The whole moral and economic order of things has been so completely changed and improved since the law became effective that those who most opposed it are now it's warm est defenders.
 Before the election in 1914, when the amendment to make Colorado a dry state was carried by a narrow margin, it was predicted that grass would grow in the streets of Denver. This and many other dire calamities that would surely occur if Colorado went dry never came to pass. On the contrary, the beneficial results of nearly three years under prohibition are so apparent that another amendment making Colorado "bone dry was carried at the recent election in November. And at the cleo tion two years ago, when an amend ment was submitted which would per init the manufacture of light beers, it was defeated by the voters of the state by more than fifty thousand ma jority.
 Denver, as the largest city in the state, has not found it necessary by reason of the closing of it's saloons, to adopt any measures other than those suggested in the ordinary administra- tion of it's municipal government. One year was sufficient to demonstrate the truth of the statement that crime and the liuqor traffic went hand in hand, and that the closing of the saloons,

A FEW MINUTES WITH
 SLEEVE VALVE MOTOR
lBy WiII S. kniahtl


 Invention dates back to 1903 the inventor, MT. Charles Y. Knight. all though supposed by the general pub lie. to be an Englishman, was Ameri- can, born and raised.
 Mr. Knight developed and perfected his motor until 1905, when the first complete, tested motor was installed in @ car built in Elyria, where today, all of the Wiuys- Knight motors are manufactured.
 Although at first MT. Knights idea FaS booed at the merits from this time on spread rapidly. In 1906 MT. Knight was invited to Europe by the Daimler company. the foremost auto- mobile manufacturer of England. Af- ter a thorough gruelling test, unheard of with other motors, the Daimler company adopted a silent Knight mo- tor It was then that the Knight mo- tor underwent the famous test under the auspices of the Royal Automobile club of Great Britain, q society of en- Sineers. recognized as premier author ity throughout the entire world. This test has never been. and doubtless ever will be- equalled fin any other type motor.
 Closely following this. the Knight motor was adopted by most of the leading foreign manufacturers, a total of 27 adopting this motor, making it the standard. Their product selling as high as eight thousand dollars each. To date in the United States there have been but four licenses granted for the manufacture of these motors namely Brewster. Moline. Stearns and the Willys-Knight and it is not a closed secret that both the licenses and production will always be limited
 The keen interest manifested a this lime has been caused by the adoption of the Knight motor in all of the British tanks used in the worlds war Knight motors were adopted for these
