Nov that the delivery has taken place It becomes possible to give the story of this remarkable machine. I have just received pictures of it showing how perfect a fortress it is.
 In appearance. however, the car Is simply a remarkably luxurious Twin Six limousine, of deep tan color with mahogany top and trimming, spe. cial headlights and unusually heavy springs. Inside the fittings are worthy of royalty, the panels are of inlaid mahogany with more than 20 different kinds of wood used in each. The fit tings and all metal of the tonneau are of silver and cloissonne. The uphol- stery is purple and gold mohair.
 But when it happens that His EX cellency, General Tsan-T -Tso-L.in is in danger the car can be transformed in D second. The body itself is built of chrome nickel steel and inside the top are chrome nickelAsteel shutters which slide down on roller bearings and cover the windows. Another steel

Colt machine gun can be taken from under the drivers seat and fas- tened to a special bracket built at the right hand side of the cowling. Two loopholes open each side and two more at the rear and automatics or rifles can be fired through them.
 Finally there are swiveDs fastened above the running board with belts provided, so that three soldiers can be strapped to each running board with their hands free to handle weapons So if it is attacked the luxurious lim- cuisine becomes a bullet proof ar. moured car, defended by machine gun with six soldiers on the outside and by six more rifles on the inside

JACKS AND GEORGES VIEWS
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Manhasset, N. Y, May y5.--Georres
Carpenter realizes that II he is TO
gain a victory over Jack Dempsey 1t
must be by what he terms superior
Carpenters estimate of Dempsey. as
revealed in conversation with n
British sportsman.
"I shall face Jack Dempsey cnnffdent
that he is the strongest, the fiercest
man against whom / have put on the
gloves" declared the challenger. There
is Joy in the prospect of meeting such
a man. I will go into the ring with the
ODDS against me. Undoubtedly Demp-
scy wiz be the favorite, not because CT
sentiment or prejudice. or blind par
tisanship. but because his great strength
is at once obvious and unquestionasle-
1T is possible that in trial of sheer.
or what you say brute strength, he
WOULD prove to be my superior, but |
hold that while power, the ability to hit
with almost abnormal force, is a pri-
mary qualification, fighting science is
also of the first Importance. I do not say
that these qualities Dempsey does not
possess. If may say SO. / have not at
this time found definite ideas as to how
the fight viii shape itself. but the
probabilities are that Dempsey viii
gamble everything on his splendid
physique; if he wins he viii win tri-
umph for uncompropnising fighting; If
victory comes 10 me ii will be because
of what, without offense. | would call
superior fighting intelligence.
My physical condition is already
satisfactory for it is not fact that
apart from the matches with Dick
Smith. Joe Beckett and Battling Le-

Johnny Horba of ST. Heceig's and
frankie Hughes, appeared in the second
windup. This was a go where the
ropes were anything but soft John had
the first and second rounds The third
and fourth rounds found Hughes boy
