G0V. SMITH WILL ENTER PRIMARIES
Agrees to Placing His Name in
 Massachusetts

Albany, N Y, March o1 R-Gov- ernor smith has stepped into that arena set aside for professed presl- dcntlal aspirants.
 Throwing aside the cloak of silence that has shrouded his atti- tude toward national politics. the governor yesterday consented 10 the use Of his name in the Massachusetts presidential primaries. In taking this step. Governor Smith was de- scribed as being cognizant of the fact that under Massachusetts law the use of his name must mark him as self-acknowledged candidate. Through months of rumors and public statements by political leaders regarding his possible candidacy, the governor maintained a policy Of reitcence. He deviated from this
 policy only to certify to the correct ness of the spelling Of his name on the primary ballot of Michigan. Yesterday, however. he allowed his
 position in the democratic presiden- tial race to become fixed through the medium of his statement to the Massachusetts democratic state con- Elittee. His statement said: | T hereby consent to the use of my name for the expression Of a presi- = | dential preference in the Massachu-
 setts primary for the election of | delegates and altornates 10 the democratic national convention and
 hereby authorize you to file such 1 consent for such delegates and altey.
 mates, both al large and district rep. resentativeS, as you may designate V
 The authorization was filed by the
 democratic state chairman, Charles ! H. McGlue, with the Massachusetts i secretary of state.

SMITH HITS BACK
 AT SCANDAL TALK
Takes Official Notice Of Teapot
 Dome RunOrS

Albany, \. r.. March 21.--tPi- Governor smith has struck a blow at the link which he charges was forged 10 connect him with the Teapot Dome oil scandal. The gov- ernor last night took formal recosni- lion Of statements made on the floor of the senate that Harry r, Sinclair, central figure of the senate commit tee investigation, had been a liberal contributor to the New York state democratic gubernatorial campaign of 1920.
 In a letter 10 Senator Gerald P \ye. chairman Of the oil inyestigat- ing committee, Governor smith de- clared that a minute examination of official records supported his recol- lection that Sinclair contributed neither to the 1920 campaign, nor 70 any other conducted for his cleo ton. He also denied that Sinclair mad been appointed a member of the state racing commission after the election.
 
 failed of election as governor in 1920 and MT. Sinclair had been appointed to the racing commission months prior to that election, some four years before there was any thought of the oil scandals
 The governor added that he had accepted Sinclair's resignation a few months before the end of his (Sln- clair'S term early in 1925.
 The governor warned that neither of Indianapolis whom he also charged with making statements similar to those of the committee chairman, would escape public humiliation for the infamous insinu- ations" which he said they had made by "pretense of disclaiming desire to cast reflection" on him.
 "Without the slightest warning in fact with no basis whatever. you both made false public statements from which you evidently calcuat- ed that people would be misled into believing that I was in some way beneficiary Of the oil scandals" he told Senator Nye.
 This, no doubt" wrote the gov ernor, Ifs a republican counsel of desperation to escape in some measure the penalty for the dis graceful record of the republican party in .contection. with these scandals" t
 The governor was informed, after he had completed the letter te Senator Nye, that the records show cd two contributions by Sinclair te the New York democratic county committee, both during the gov. ernor's campaigns in gubernatoria, elections. One, in 1918, was for Sl.o0o; the other, in 1926, amounted 10 $25o.
 The same records, those of tht secretary of states office, disclosed h,a was told. that in 1922, when II. defeated Nathan l.. Miller in tn. guierna'orial election, Sinclair hai contributed s5,0o0 10 the republican state committee. The payment, ths '"cords indicated, was made to An. "on c. Goodyear, state committed leaSurer.

 Non Hindcnburs was striving des- perately to hold the advantage he had gained He knew that the ad- vent of American troops, swarmlng into France in rapidly increasing numbers. would destroy it. There was no time for additional preparation. He decided the blow should fall in the area between Arras and LaFcre in an attempt 10 take Amiens, which would probably involve the loss of everything north of the Sommc river for the allies and would separate the British and French armies.
 The German machine ploughed forward, the infantry advancing be- hind the unceasing curtain Of ar iillcry fire. The success in the north was not marked, but farther south the German Eighteenth army gained six llilometers west of St. Quentin, On March 22 the advance gained momentum as the German general staff threw the bulk of it's strength to the soutll.s 1.-The next day the Eighteenth army crossed the Somme at Ham. IL was now charged with the major mission of separating the French and British forces and con- centrating the push against Amiens. At this juncture Won Eindenburg decided to deal his master stroke. hoping to impair the morale of the French by demoralizing Paris He opened fire on the French capital with giant long range cannons, big krupp guns which had been placed secretly in the vicinity of Creepy. Twenty mon1er shells were sent into the Frcneh capital from the unhcard of distance of 7S.4 miles.

Gen eral Petain. commander in chief of the French forces, conferred with General Pershing and it was agreed that the American forces. though not yet fully trained, should be nov ed into quiet sectors temporarily so the French might rush their veterans to the Somme front.
 The threatened separation of the British and French forces brought to the allies the realization that some- thing must be done to coordinate their fighting machines. After a series of conferences General Foch was chosen generalssimo of all the allied troops, bringing the entire western front under unified control.

HIKE so many, this man had l. a slight tendency to hernia. The doctor who examined him said there was no real rupture, only a weakness.

a swift impression, impossible to
dissect: and yet detailed study
of the advancements is OF inter-

owners, but to all notordom.
Newness begins at the very
front, in higher radiators on both
Hudson and Essex - an effect
that is further heightened BY
vertical radiator shutters. The
motometer has been removed
from the front to the dash, and
is now replaced by handsome
radiator ornaments.
Lamps are Of Colonial design,
and are of the parabean type
controlled from the wheel.
Saddle lamps of the same type
are mounted on the cowl BY
means of q crossing nickeled
band. Tenders are of new design,
full.crowned and beaded along
the edge. This handsome design
Is carried back to the side-splash
guards, which are deeper, and
to the wider running boards
which are provided with rubber
macs and bound with aluminium
strips.
The main body contour Is i'm.
proved by curving lines, low.
hung, trim effect. The roof lines
are hatter, and the rear and rear
quarters are srtractively curved
All bodies are lacquered in duo
tones and carry q moulding all

The front fpiliars are trim and
narrow. In standard models the
