End, and Some OF Them Are
Pretty Good.
BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON,
Editor Of MOTOR.
" FROM the dawn of the automo-
bile industry to the present day
there Is one problem that has
been a hardy perennial-the question
of how to secure easy starting. Back
in the old days we had superfine gaso-
line, but the cars We're 50 crude that
II was difficult to get them started
on cold days. even with the gaseous
dynamite that was available. Now
our cars are highly developed and
efficient. but the fuel that is handed
us is so poor, so lacking in the lighter
inflammable constituents, that it is
still Just as hard to get under way
on chilly days as 1t used to be twenty
years ago.
Many methods Of overcoming start
ing difficulties have been employed
during the years Of the motor
vehicles active career. One method
Of the older day was pouring boiling
water into the cooling system to warm
the engine. Hot bricks laid against
and one trusting soul that we once
knew briefly used to encourage the
frigid instrument by applying a light
ed blow torch to it's bowl. No, we do
not recommend this latter treatment
In spite of the variety of expert
ments the best method of inducing an
easy start on a cold day or by a cold
engine is the old reliable priming, pref
erably with some fuel lighter and
more inflammable than ordinary gaso-
line. And Of priming devices there
are any number ranging from the
rate primers with electrically-heat
coils on the side.
Perhaps the most effective priming
outfit is the one consisting of small
air-tight tank holding about a quart
of the primlng fluid and usually To-
Gated under the dash. From this tank
pipe leads to the inlet manifold and
second pipe to the pump or other
control on the dash. By means of the

Dwells on Necessity of Raising
Money to Keep Army

ATHENS. JAM 5.--King Constantine
delivered his message to Parliament to-
day. reading it In a halting manner.
The ceremony was unusually solemn.
Beside him stood Queen Sophie, and In
a box above were the Princesses. attired
In mourning.
The meeting of the Assembly was
made gala occasion. 1t was the first
time that the King and his family had
appeared publicly since their arrival.
The archbishop arrived at 10 go and
benediction was pronounced on the new
constitutional Assembly. The Ministers
took seats with Premier Rhalis on the
speakers platform near the throne,
which was the only garish decoration in
the chamber.
Both the King. who was in Mar
shal's uniform, and the Queen looked ill
and worn. The Queens heavy express
sion deepened when Constantine said
that the only consolation in the death
of Alexander was the wonderful mani
festation of the people. There was much
cheering before and after the message.
Among the points in the Kings speech
were the necessity of raising money TO
keep the army at Smyrna until the
Turkish question is settled maintenance
of friendly relations with the Allies, ex-
ecution of the Sevres treaty and inter-
nal harmony.

Venizelos form new state for dissident

plan to the then Premier. Discussing
this development. the editor says:

Plan of NJ Venizelos after the elections
was to create the new state Of Pontus,

that this ambitious plan was being laid

NO DISARMING UNTIL
ALDO, PARIS VIEW
France Not vitality Affected
by Dispute of Japan and
America.
Special Cable to THE New YORK HERALD
C0pyri0ht, 1921, bp THE NEW YORK HERALD

Copyright, 1921, bp THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Jan. 5. !
Continued discussions on the question
of naval disarmament to which the
American and British newspapers have
been devoting much space the last few
weeks are beginning to arouse comment
in naval circles here, but so far the
French Government has not indulged in
official discussion as to whether France
shall participate in the suggested policy
which would give her navy a holiday.
French naval experts generally are
agreed as to the wisdom of Great Brit
ain. the United States and Japan curtail-
ing their naval construction programmes
by tacit agreements. but are stressing
the theory that neither France nor italy
would be vitally affected by dispute
among these three Powers. The corre-
spondent Of THE NEW YORK HERALD to-
day interviewed oneof the highest naval
authorities a man close to the Ministry
OF Marine, regarding the attitude France
Is likely to take in the solution of the
disarmament problem.
"The question has been studied from,
evey angle during the last few months" "
he said. 1T must be realized at the out
set that the position OF France is eS-
tremely difficult. inasmuch as she does
rot desire to take any action which
might be interpreted by one or another
of the Allies or associates as disapproval
of their policies. Despite this fact. ex-
perts cannot see how negotiations be-
tween the big naval Pawers can involve
France as she has no definite naval pro-
eramme such as the other Powers.
Moreover. Frances present construction
Is devoted only to the replacement or
units lost during the war and the exten
sion of the fleet strength only to such
Il point that her national interests, such
as commerce and her coastline. may be
adequately protected and that her ma
tional dignity, earned as n victorious
nation, may be safeguarded by the pres
cnce of enough vessels to offset any sud
den attempt by smaller nations to raid
her coast"
1t was pointed. out that any new con-
struction to be undertaken by France
i'm the next few years would be along
the lines of small coastwise ships. SUBJ
marines and seaplanes, which would be
distinctly defensive. Big gunned ships.
however. will be kept in good repair In
the event that they are needed to join
any offensive alliance.
Even II all the proposed requirements
were effected in five years. and If the
United States and Great Britain should
shut down their navy yards completely
they would still both have navies four
times as great as either France or Italy.
For this reason suggestions that have
been made for disarming cannot be car
ried out until all nations simultaneously
do So"
