supplied with suits of clothes which war,
changed daily to correspond with tho,,
worn by Caligula. He ordered the mo,,

and then removed their heads and subst.
tuted his own for theirs. p
Mr.. Woods makes out clear cass ~
heredity in this instance, and bringing Tho
matter down to A. D. 1919, says that al.
though to all intents and purposes ibs
latest Cssar, in the guise of Wilhelm ths
Last, has been eliminated, the curse Of
Casarism will rise again "as long as the
laws of heredity continue to act Power
will seek to mate with power and the ma.
jority of mankind will remain as an e..
ploitable mass. No laws of man can chanps
the laws Of nature. The best that man can
do is so to direct these laws of nature that
the dangerous breeds shall be kept at
minimum"
To an ordinary layman this seems too
much like being misled by the analogy
between biology and sociology, which is
after all only an analogy and not an
identity. Biology may breed tyrants, but
not every age will permit them the unrs-
strained activity accorded to Caligula and
his twentieth century counterpart Elimi-
nation Of one man power is a slow proc.
ess, but in so far as it relates to the in.
perial will Of rulers, it is surely, if slowly
going the way of one man empires.
In just how far does Wilhelm resembls
his ancient analogue? In just how great
degree may he be held personally respons.
BILE, and how much of his mania is due to
heredity? Is there, indeed, a psycho-ans.
lytic explanation that is more important
than all others? What are the aspects Of
his case that may be, with more or less
confidence, passed upon by expert psy.
chiatrists? Surely if Ca]igula be studied
after centuries, Kaiser Wilhelm, with all
the material at our physicians command
may be placed before the X-ray Of mental
science.

n OW Ahat tho question of Kaiser
M Wilhelm the Lasts disposal is
coming to the front of the
problems to be solved by civiliza-
tion, it is important to know for certain
whether we arc dealing with particularly
vicious type of the genus homo, or whether,
indeed, there is not madman on the hands
of tho world. Is William Hohenzollcrn one
of the latest manifestations of a Cesar
mania that has long been present in the
ancient and dishonorable limo of criminals
and maniacs that have sat upon thrones, or
is he personally responsible, and therefore
to be punished personally, for the crime of
the war? The question is knotty one, and
before it is settled it is not at all impos-
sble that q congress of psychiatric experts
will have to be summoned to Paris, there
to deliberate over the fate of Gott's
quondam associate. Perhaps such presence
at tho deliberations would form no small
part of the once-upon- time Kaser's pun
ishment. There are amusements more en-
tertaining than the arguments Of mental
experts over the deep rooted manias Of
mankind.
present below the result of an interview
with DR.. !. H. Coriat, the noted specialist
and psychological expert of Boston, whose
many works abnormal psychology and
psyche analysis have brought him fame,
even in Japan, where his compendious work
on abnormal Psych ology" has been re-
Gently translated.
DR.. Coriat places little faith in the par
allel often drawn, once in a now famous
instance, between the Kaiser and Caligula.
He looks upon the Kaiser's mania as clearly
open to explanation on the principles of
psycho-analysis. Dismissing the heredi-
tary theory, DR.. Coriat elucidates the
mania Of the former partner Of Gott ac-
cording to novel theory

ogy. He demonstrated that tho predomi-
nant traits Of character are efforts on the
part of the individual to overcome feel
ing of either mental or physical inferiority.
For instance, man who as boy is
wcakling will become an advocate Of the
strenuous life, or ono whose thoughts are

Somebody Else
Discovered If

The matter OF the Kaiser's mental con-
dition is by no means q new one. AS far
back as twenty-five years ago it was treated
in moro or less veiled fashion by one Lud-
wig Quidde, who, despite action that
threatened to expose him to leze-majesty,
is alive and kicking to-day, as a member of
the Bavarian Landtag. This time, at least,
the prophet, if somewhat belatedly, is not
without honor in his own land. In fact, at
the time his much-discussed pamphlet was
published he was quite capable of defend
ing himself against the elements that saw
only too we'll beneath his thinly disguised
historical document
The document, as a matter of fact,
has recently come into a second child
hood of prominence because Of the
discovery of its prophetic characters. Those

Dario Resta Has Sunbeam
Famous Racing Driver Repre-.
scnts English Car

Ono Of the interesting exhibits at
the Commodore will be that of the
Resta Motors, Inc, with their Sun
beam cars. This well-known English
make has never before been exhibited
in the United States. The success of
the Sunbeam motor both in aviation
and automobile work won it an en-
viable reputation during the war. One
of the recent testimonials to this motor
is the fact that the British military
dirigible R-34 was equipped with five
of them on its transatlantic trip.
Dario Resta, president of the Resta
Motors Company, says that he expects
to specialize on the six-cylinder chassis
in America, although he shortly ex-
poets shipment of the four-cylinder
model. In this four-cylinder model
Mr.. Resta broke all the worlds records
from 100 to 1000 miles in 1912 Manu-
facturers have observed closely the
English idea of low lines with ample
road clearance. A very unusual feature
of the Sunbeam in which Mr.. Resta
broke the records which had been
established up till 1912 was that the
four-cylinder model used was a stock
model. instead of a specially construct
ed racing type. The Sunbeam is plan
ming on sending a car for next years
Indianapolis 500-mile race, and they
are also entering a team of cars for
the Grand PriN, which is to be held in
France next year. Mr.. Resta expects
to drive in the indianapolis race.

country except for that part in which
1t states that it is rarity for the
owner Of inesc-chauffeured car
to have his machine proved to be in
the wrong in an accident when the car
was occupied by passengers. Unlike
America, the Chinese blame their ac-
cdents on the joy rider.
Here is the editorial:
motoring in Shanghai has just had
what may we'll be termed bad month.
Reports of pedestrians being run down,
Of reckless driving and disregard for
traffic rules have followed upon each
other in rapid and seemingly increas-
ing repetition, so that tho public
press has been filled with such ac-
counts and letters Of protest and con-
demnation have been directed editor
wards.
"Such q condition Of affairs hits
heavily at the motoring fraternity and
puts motoring in general under a cloud.
1t is the more to be regretted in that
the motoring public in general is not
to blame, but that the stigma which is
brought to rest upon it is the result Of
carelessness, criminal or to less de-
gree, Of very small proportion Of the
drivers of motors; and the fact calls
for a determined campaign Of the
blameless majority to bring the mi

Rubay Shows Coach Work
Interesting Exhibit at Salon by
Famous Builders

The four cars to be shown by Rubay
at the Salon, name widely known in
connection with fine coachwork, will
prove strong attraction, especially to
the feminine motorists. The seven
passenger berlinc, on Cole chassis of
127inch wheelbase, is an unusually
roomy body. The upholstery of the
Rubay pillow type has three cushions
across the rear seat. The drivers
compartment is trimmed in black
leather. Another model is smart
four-passenger touring car with VIC
toria top.
OF especially fine appearance is the
four-passenger sedan on the new 1885,
inch Marmon chassis. This car has four
individual seats trimmed in very soft
black leather; the interior is finished in
natural wood and cane. This model
has three doors, two on the right and
one on the left, permitting an unob-
structed view through a large window
on the left. This car is known as the
"Moskovics II Sedan"

S. Smith & Sons Exhibit
Prominent British Accessory
Makers at Salon

At the Commodore salon exhibit. S.
Smith e. Sons, Of london, will attract
more than passing interest. These
manufacturers of high grade motor
car accessories have opened a subsid-
iary company in New York, represent
ing the parent company, which is
known as the foremost English motor
accessory house. Their specialties in
clude such important items of con-
venience as clocks, speedometers and
other dash control board ftments.
Before the war 90 per cent of the
British car manufacturers Of standard
izing instruments used Smith equip
menths, and during the war their in
struments of precision for airplancs
were utilized to greater extent on
our Allies airDlanes than those of any
other manufacture. The postwar
models show complete change of
design. Quality has been consistently
adhered to. Finish, precision and dur
ability have been watched, and pleas
ing particular, in these days of high
cost of motoring, is the reasonable
price at which they may be procured.

Can't Bring Horse
Back, Says Larson
On Ground Of Utility Only 1t Is
a Survival of the Fittest
in TRANSPORT

The incorporation Of an association
here to waga a national campaign to
repopularize the horse isn't worrying
New York's automobile distributors,
according to c. H. Larson, Of the Olds-
mobile Company.
Despite Black Beauty and Paul
Reveres steed," Mr.. Larson declares,
"the horse Is not sentimental issue
and cannot be made one. The survival
of the horse, precisely like the sur
vival of any system Of device Of COM
merce, must depend entirely upon
economic use and justification. Other
wise, we shall not progress.
Statistics presumably authoritative
show that the number of horses in
this city alone has decreased in the
last three years from 100000 to 10000
Remember, too, that this drop of almost
one-third was recorded during a period
in which the vast majority Of our
motor trucks were being delivered to
our armies or to those of our allies
1t is only now that the real era Of the
truck and delivery auto is beginning.
and the growing evidence Of their
utility and the increasing attention to
road building will soon force the horse
completely out of metropolitan bust
ness"

Putting Sales Between
Owner and SERVED

The New York Branch Of tho Stu4
debaker Corporation plans to increase
it's sales force by more than fifty peg
cent. Mr.. Scholes, retail manager Of
the New York Branch, said yesterday
that this increase would enable the
sales end of the branch to give moro
intensive attention to the Studebake
owner. Heretofore" he said, after
the buyer had received his car, it had
been the practice in the automobile
field for the salesman to turn the
owner and his worries over to the serv-
ice department. This almost always
caused inconvenience to the owner an(
very frequently caused friction.
with this increased sales force 70
will be possible for the sales depart
ment to act as a buffer between the
mechanical end and the customer and
to follow up the Studebaker owner.

Repair Wagon
In Hotel Service
Wrecking Vehicle Now on the
Job for Pershing Square
Group Patrons

The s. o. S. service and repair
truck recently bought by Eugene D.
Miller, secretary and treasurer of the
Pershing Square group Of hotels, has
been delivered and is now at the Com
modore Biltmore garage, in East
Forty-fourth Street, ready to answer
all flrst-aid calls from hotel guests
whose automobiles may be stranded
within a twenty five mile radius of
New York.
The notable feature Of the willys-
Knight trucks equipment is wind
lass crane by which even the heavi-
est cars can be righted and pulled
from ditch or mudhole. In case Of
front end wrecks the crane will hold
up the front part of the damaged car,
and in this way it can be taken to q
repair shop without requiring a man
at the steering wheel.
Although it's principal use will be to
bring in damaged cars, the truck is
equipped for ordinary repair work and
has crew familiar with all the trou-
bles all automobile may have. 1t was
the increase of motor mishaps in the
last few months that led Mr. Miller
to install the wrecking truck as a part
of hotel service

Motor Car Registration
Next Year Complicated
25 Cents Per Horsepower Basis
Rate, Plus Amounts Accord
ing to Age and List Price

The Automobile Club of America has
sent statement to it's members invit-
ing their attention to the changes in
the New York state motor vehicle law
effective February /, 1920, regarding
the registering Of automobiles, which
is Of interest to all motorists.
To figure your registration fee for
1920 you must have the following in
formation about your car:
First-Number of cylinders and bore
Of cylinders Gin order to get correct
horsepower).
Second-Year car was manufactured
(not necessarily the year you pur-
chased carr.
rd-Manufacturer' list price at
time Of manufacture, fully equipped
(not necessarily the price you paid
for it).
The method of computing the fee is
based on three elements-the horse
power, age of car and list price.
The constant fee-25 cents per
horsepower.
In addition to this fee, there must
be paid an amount based upon the
age and list price of car, as follows
Rate If registered during year of
manufacture or within three years fol-
lowing December 81 of year of manu-
facture, 40 cents on each $100 or majo
fraction of list price Of car.
Rate 2-If registered during fourth
or fifth year following December 81
of year of manufacture, 20 cents on
each $500 or major fraction of list
price of car.
Rate 3-If registered later than fifth
year following December 81 Of year of
manufacture, 10 cents on each $1OO or
major fraction of list price of car.
At no time shall the fee for six
cylinder car be less than $40 or for a
fourc cylinder car be less than $5.
