Fair CARRIAGE AND AUTO WORKS TRY US AND BE CONVINCED SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 17, 1914 CHALMERS DEALER TELL OF WKR ZONE News Colored, So They Must Seek Facts From Friends and Papers Abroad The Chalmers Motor Company has recently received two letters which indicate in an interesting way the at titude among the mercantile classes of Europe toward the warring powers. Holland has remained neutral and has at times with difficulty retained her neutrality. L. D. Krausemann, Chalmers representative in the country of the dikes, t<yis how he avoided ren dering assistance to Germany. Mr. Krausemann writes in part: "With the outbreak of war I had to leave my Chalmers 'Light Six' in Ger many in the care of the keeper of a hotel. I knew that my car would be confiscated by the German army if it were in running condition, so I took the precaution of removing a vital part of the ignition system feeling *ery sure that the mechanics of the German army would not discover the deficiency and would leave my car alone. "With the aid of our Dutch consul and after a great deal of difficulty with the authorities I succeeded at last in bringing my car 'back to Hol land. When I finally got permission to take the car away, I learned that the German authorities had discovered the defect in the ignition system which I had caused by removing one of the parts. This Indicates that the car would have been put in military service had the German mechanics known how to replace the part 1 had removed." A letter from Frederick Strubelt, Chalmers dealer in Barmen, Germany, shows a very difficult spirit. Mr. Strubelt's letter arrived at the Chal mers factory by a round-about route, having been more than a month in transit. "Your last letters were very much delayed on account of the blocking of the Knglish Channel for German steamers by the Englishmen, whose interference will probably soon be' stopped, if it has not already been stepped," writes Mt. Strubelt. "Un fortunately, I am unable to give you detailed information regarding the war as this is prohibited in order to prevent any possibility for the enemy to intercept private communications and to make conclusions therefrom on Germany's movements and inten tions. For this reason I am allowed only to write in German and in an un sealed letter. "You may rest assured, however, tha so far we have won every engage ment and for this reason it is highly improbable that life in Germany will become disagreeable as to make me immigrate. I think the United States may except, however, some immi grants from England and France since we am making it so warm for these countries that their people will soon be trying to find more temperate climes it present conditions continue." This part of Mr. Strubelt's letter shows how carefully the war facts of the powers at strife are regulating their news. Germany hears only good news from the German army, while FYance, England and Russia quite evidently receive information equally well colored. "You would do me a great favor," continues the Chalmers dealer in Bar men, "if you would send me conti nually all newspapers containing news of the war whether printed in Ger man, French or English. It is a well known fact in Germany that the sym pathy of a large part of the better class of people in the United States is with us. I would like to see this sympathy in printed form. As a mat ter of fact we are also interested in reading things unfavorable to Ger many. "The war is consuming a consider able number of motor cars. These vehicles are confiscated by the mili tary authorities arid are paid for at their net value, of course, in military service automobiles are not handled very carefully, particularly in view of the fact that we shall collect the ex penses for them l'rom the French at the close of the war." ' I have great pleasure to advise you that my Chalmers 'Master Six' and Chalmers 'Light Six' are actually tak ing part in the war. They are natur alized Prussians and are certainly doing honor to their American home country."

Morton, Manager 11l HAS MANY NEW IMPROVEMENTS 1915 Model Shows Twenty-Nine Distinct Changes For the Better The Indian motorcycle fj>r 1915 has surpassed all Its previous years in the number of truly basic advances in con struction and design. Twenty-nine Im provements—important changes and refinements —unite to carry the banner of Indian superiority still further up the peak of success. All the engineering perfections which the motorcycle world has ac credited to the Indian have been re tained, and to these has been added a characteristic group of sound, new me chanical developments, such as is al ways expected of Indian skill and in genuity. For some time there has been a de sire among riders for a lightweight machine developing* ten-horse-power. To meet this demand the manufac turers of the Indian have developed a lightweight, twin-cylinder model of ten-horse-power, which is seventy-five pounds lighter than the regular twin. One of the main features of this model is the motor construction. All the bearings and cam mechanism are identically the same size as sire used in the larger twin. A specially de signed roller-bearing clutch is used that amply takes care of the power and weight of the machine plus the strains and usage. The increasing use of the motor cycle for passenger side car and com mercial work has led to the new de parture in motorcycle practice the thfee-speed gear. This permits of a wide variation of speed reductions according to the weight of the load carried or the nature of the grades and road surfaces encountered. The Indian three-speed gear mechanism has ratios of 10 to 1, 6 to 1, and 4 to 1, thus permitting adaption to practically any riding conditions. This device can be attached to all models except D-l. For the Big Twin Models, which are rated at fifteen-horse-power, there has been designed a new heavy-duty clutch. This is of the multiple-disc type and is fitted on the countershaft In the usual Indian manner. The big contact area of the friction surfaces, 62.82 square niches, Is not only ample for tandem or side-car work, even on the hardest roads, but for three passengers, if nec esary. All working parts are protected from dust, and water, and, as the dry plate system Js used, intense heat or cold have 110 effect upon the opera tion of the clutch. A large roller bear ing carries the frictiou discs, and eight adjustable springs regulate the ten sion. An addition to the 1915 Indian Models, which will be much appreciat ed, is the Indian starter. This is of the quadrant and pinion type and is simple yet powerful. Down pressure on the foot lever brings the quadrant into en gagement with the pinion on the clutch and turns the motor three or four times to each stroke, the clutch being en gaged to obtain positive and full crank ing effect. The starting of the motor can be done without jacking up the rear wheel. A new magneto, the Dixie, makes its appearance on this year's Indians. It is original in design, not merely a variation of old ideas. Special felt rings, metal coverings and Ingenious Joints make the'mechanism water, dust and oilnroof. This magneto is of the true high-tension or jump-spark type and is constructed in such a manner that all parts of the instrument are readily acessible for Inspection. To meet the divided preferences as to clutch operation, the Indians this year have a dual Interacting clutch control, which allows the rider his choice of hand or foot operation. The clutch operating linkage has also geen simplified. What the Hendee Manufacturing Company considers one of the most far-reaching improvements ln its manu facturing facilities was the Installa tion this year of one of the most com plete metal-testing laboratories In the United States. Here tlife materials used in making Indian motorcycles are sub jected to the most drastic 4ests that can be imagined both before and after manufacture. By noting the breaking points of various materials it is pos sible to select, by elimination, those which are best suited for the strains they will have to undergo ln service. An Important conclusion reached as a re sult of these tests was In regard to the use of chrome vanadium steel. It was found that this alloy so far surpasses In strength the ordinary carbon steel for frames and forks that It was at once decided to use chrome vanadium In the m"nufacture of 1915 models. Itiders of 1915 Indians will, there fore, have, in addition ,to many me chanical Improvements, the of stronger, more durable mounts than ever before.
