II AGERUN(< Brute Power and thundering Speed These are the characteristics of the PEERLESS Eighty-Horsepower Eight in its "Sporting Range." Its Loafing Range In its contrasting range of Power, the Loafing Range, the Peerless Eight gives that quiet, smooth, flexible performance one rightly expects of a car of real class. But in its Loafing Range it is operating on half rations—consum ing fuel so sparingly as to put many a lesser powered six to shame, even many a four. Its Sporting Range And when one needs super power or emergency speed, it is there in the same Peerless. Open the throttle wider to release the double poppets and give her full fuel rations. In stantly you have a brute of a car capable of a brush with any con tender, no matter what its class. Let us demonstrate this remarkable two-power range performance.

PROMINENT GIVE MILITARY TRAINING VIEWS JOHN* PRICK JACKSOX, COMMlS soxi:n OF LABOR AND INDUS TRY, WRITES: "With regard to the letter con cerning universal military train ing which came during my ab sence from the city I desire to re ply as follows: "I am. personally, of the firm belief that every citizen of this country should be as much capa ble of aiding in defending the Na tion as he is capable of defend- Ign his own home and family from marauders. He owes this duty of defense not only to his family but also to his fellow citizens who are banded together in a Nation NATION NEEDS MEN AND MONEY Chairman of State Committee Gives Outline For Pre paredness Philadelphia, March 24. George Wharton Pepper, chairman of the Committee of Safety named by Gov ernor Brumbaugh to prepare Pennsyl vania for war. yesterday outlined three forms of policy for the United States to follow in the present international crisis. Following the issuance of a call for a general meeting of the committee In the Capitol at Harrisburg at 11 a. m. next Wednesday, Chairman Pepper, in an interview on America's imminent entrance into the world war, said: "As to the policy of the government in the present crisis, 1 have three sug gestions to make: "In the tirst place, this nation should go at once to the financial assistance of the Allies, especially to the succor of proud, bleeding, heroic France. Of our abundance, we should minister to them in their necessity. "In the second place, as a military policy, we must not at present attempt a complicated reorganization of the army of the United States, highly de sirable as this is. We must not con front a bewildered Congress with a military proposal of enormous finan cial proportions. We must not urge a period of military training so long as to raise doubt, even in friendly minds, whether the period is not too lonsr. "Let us unite in ndvoeating'the fair, the democratic, the efficient system of universal and compulsory military training embodied in the Chamberlain bill as the only proper system for pro viding us with what we sorely need—a well-trained citizen soldiery at least 1,000,000 strong. Must Have Munitions "But, in the third place, let ns rec ognize that men, and even industrial preparedness, are of little worth with out the ordinary implements of war— rifles, guns, ammunition and other munitions. As to this, let us insist upon a policy of the most pitiless publicity. The newspapers can get access to the facts and they will pub lish them if they think the people want to know them. The people do not know how serious the needs of America are." Mr. Pepper also advocated the as semblage into a single force under the Stars and Stripes of the 25,000 Ameri cans now fighting with the allied ar mies in Europe. lie pictured the present struggle as one to establish whether the potential governments of the world are to be governed from the bottom up, by the people, or from the top down, as under the theory of the divine right of kings. 'The need for quick action is urgent," said Mr. Pepper. "Big ques tions are to be settled and necessarily settled with dispatch. There should be no hesitation or delay now; it is the time for action. "The situation In which we find ourselves makes a large demand upon sanity and self-control. Through months and years of popular lethargy we have been exhorting our fellow citizens to face the facts. "We have been dissatisfied and un happy because we have had a burning conviction of the righteousness of a certain cause, and we have been wholly unable to give to that convic tion adequate or effective expression. Some of us have been aware that the future of democracy is trembling yon der in the balance, as we have found unreal neutrality to be a yoke too galling for the neck of a free man. t'nder such conditions it has not been easy to be an American. "But now the situation has changed. Our fellow citizens have indeed de clined to face the facts, but to-day some of the facts are facing them. The result is likely to be a national awakening of great proportions. People will presently discover that we must prepare for national defense and there will be much patriotic hurrying and scurrying with the resulting danger that with much sweat and fury we shall arrive nowhere." Railways Ask For a General Increase in All Freight Tariff Washington. D. C., March 2 4.—The chief railroads of the East yesterday petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to amend its rules to per mit a general increase in all freight rates. Western railroads notified the com mission that they. too. would ask for a general increase in freight rates and probably will follow the eastern roads in asking for a suspension of the rules. Southern roads are expected to take similar action. The proposed increases probably will range between 10 and 15 per cent., according to location of the roads, with indications pointing to a flat increase of 15 per cent, being re quested in the case of -the eastern roads, which carry the great volume of the country's traffic. TRY TO RESCUE MINERS Skagway, Alaska, March 24.—Rescu ers in relays were working desperately to-day to teach nine miners entombed since Wednesday in the Pueblo coal mine, near here.* Mine officials said there was little hope that the men were still alive. The miners were caught behind a cave-in and it is estimated there is eighty feet of earth between the entombed men and the rescuers. SUSPECTED SPIES BREAK J All, Norton, Va„ March 24.—Two men ar rested here yesterday suspected of spying on railroad bridges and termi nals around Norton, escaped from the county jail last night by climbing through a scuttle in the roof. The of ficials say they are Germans. HARRISBUItG TELEGRAPH to protect themselves l'rom an at tack from abroad. "X, myself, took an extended course In military training at the Pennsylvania State College and believe that It not only did much to make me capable of doing my share in defending the country, but also added much In giving me the kind of discipline which Is necessary to successful civil pur suits. "I have not made a sufficient study of the bills before Con gress to have formed a decision as to their intrinsic or relative merits, and give you the above statments as indicating my belief that such arrangements should be made as will cause every able bodied citizen to be able to do his part." GOVERNOR PUTS OUT TART VETOES Raps the Eyre Senate Bill Rela tive to Advertising Contracts For Bridge Work Vetoes of the Eyre Senate bill pro viding that county commissioners might let contracts for bridge work involving less than SSOO without ad vertising for bids and the Kline Sen ate bill requiring Allegheny county to establish a pension fund for its employes, were announced by Gov ernor Brumbaugh last night. In vetoing the Eyre bill the Gov ernor said that the act it seeks to amend permitted such work to be done without advertising only when it involved less than $250 and comments, j "The trend of all modern accounting jof public moneys and the expendi j ture of the same is unmistakably to ! a more detailed and more open treat | ment of public expenditures. The concensus of opinion is to let the peo j pie know. When over $250 of county I funds is to be expended it is well that I competitive bids be received and' the j people given full knowledge of the ! transaction. This can work no injus tice and can do no harm. The absence of such public treatment of the transaction might work harm. It is well to be on the safe side of the proposition. The law now works no hardship known to the executive. It Is in harmony with the best prin ciples of popular government." j The veto on the Kline bill says: I "This bill Is to replace an act approv i ed May 11, 1915, which act was rep i resented to the executive as meeting 1 fully the requirements of the case i of the county concerned. Until now ] the act seems to be doing well. This ! bill is so wide in its scope and opens the way for such accidental admission and withdrawal of beneficiaries as to make it inevitable that its provisions in the near future impair the fund and defeat the essential good it seeks to accomplish. The bill does not evi dence any expert actuarial study of its fiscal plans and will not in my Judgment give the nearly worthy beneficiaries the relief they should | have. No pension system should hold any promise it cannot assuredly keep. Were the provisions so modified as to make it a practical and dependable | service it would be approved." The Governor approved the House : bills appropriating $32,000 to Dan ! ville State Hospital and transferring l $20,000 of unexpended balances in the State Fire Marshal's Department to | meet certain deficiencies in the same | department and the Senate bill to | cure a defect in the Allegheny tunnel j and subway act.
