! PARIS, April 13.-Both the allied
military commissions and the German
! inha bitants opposed Germany's action
! in sending rcichswehr into the RUM
district, Premier Millerand told the
chamber of deputies today.
Germany's action was unnecessary
and dangerous, the premier asserted
in detailing necessity for Frances
occupation of the German Rhine
cities.
The chamber was expected to give
the premier's government strong
vote of confidence following Miller
and's speech. The vote was consid
cred necessary to strengthen the pre-
mier's position in the coming con-
ference Of the council of premiers in
San Reno.
by saving the integrity Of the
peace treaty, France has protected
the interests Of her allies as well as
her own" Millerand told the depu-
ties.
I'VE are proud that noble Belgium
understood this and ranged herself
alongside us. Her action has in
creased our affection and gratitude.
Il am happy to announce that the
French and British governments
have reached an agreement under
which both recognize the necessity
for the most intimate accord in regu-
lating the unsettled questions still
facing the world"

WHEEL IRREGULARITIES

Careful attention should be
given TO wheel alignment.
Many miles of service are lost
thru improper alignment. A
toe-in of a quarter of an inch
should be allowed on the front
wheels. This is TO neutralize
their tendency to spread while
in motion. The true running
qualities Of each wheel can be
determined by placing a sta
tionary point close to the
wood felloe of the wheel. The
distance between the point
and the felloe should be uni
form when the wheel is re-
volving. Otherwise it is out
Of alignment. When a wheel
is out of alignment, the tread
is simply ground off, instead
of being worn off. Usually
this can be detected, ae it
causes the tread to wear on
one side and shows a sharp
shoulder.
