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."

KEYSTONE MOTOR CAR CO.
1019-1025 Market Street Robert L. 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.

During Winter Months
When storing cars for the winter, we
recommend the removal of all Miller
tires from rims that are not quick de

After carefully cleaning tiie tires they
should be slightly inflated or just suf
