HIM BACK SALARY

To Posing as American Lieu
tenant in Artillery.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-How a
German army intelligence officer
hoodwinked the American officers
in Europe, posed as lieutenant of

ing letters belonging to Lieut..
Arthur Kincaid while he was acting
as censor in the German intelligence

which conducted joint hearing with
the senate committee, announced
that it would not report until Mon-
day. This action means, legislative
leaders said, that the suffrage amend
ment will not be finally disposed of
today, as suffrage leaders had
]. planned.
Suffrage leaders in both houses re-
| ported further accessions to their
strength and pointed to the victory
won yesterday-the second of the
session-when the house tabled a
resolution which would have pro-
hibited consideration at this session
of the suffrage ratification resolu-
ton.
Opponents of ratification. however,
refused to see any reason for optim-
ism of the suffragists. They de-
clared their ranks were holding firm
and expressed satisfaction with the
preliminary vote In the house.

The ratification resolution, under
the rules Of procedure, will be voted
On today by the senate. 1t will
then go to the house.
| Speaker Todd of the senate last
night said the resolution would be
F.! adopted by the senate within an
hour. The house and senate COM
mittees on constitutional conventions
and amendments to which the reso-
luton was referred, held joint ses-
sion last night to hear arguments OF
proponents and opponents of ratifi-
| cation,
The most optimistic poll of the
suffrage advocates today showed
twenty-four votes in the senate,
where seventeen is a majority and
| of sixty in the house, where the
majority is fifty.

move directed toward ultimate rati-
hcation. They claimed sufficient
votes in the lower house to defeat
the ratification resolution.
Meanwhile supporters of the cause
were trying hard to brng about
defections in the ranks of the demo-
Gratis, who have declared against
suffrage.

tensivc tests asked for the privileges

which would enable the driver 10 run

There Is another point tina. bears
directly upon the subject OF the utili-

clear when he calls attention 10 the
action of rolicr-sEaters who slightly
cross the rollers under one foot TO
obtain tho grip on the floor and

Mr. Hoshins calls this FRACTIONAL
resistance, and says that It liz one Of
the reasons tho front-driven car, on
an equally graded modern road. can
give the same speed turning corners
az IT. does while climbing straight.
The front wheels pull direct 20 their
work ahead without any twisting on
the driving wheels and tires, such
ms occurs when the driving wheels
arc fixed to the motor and have TO
TWIST in contact with the road dur
