8 VATICAN FAVORS VICTORIOUS PEACE New Papal State Secretary Said to Favor Giving Alsace to France Now York, Aug. 11. A cable mes sage from Paris received by the of ficial French bureau of Information In this city, Indicates that Monsignor Frederico Tedeschinl, who lias been Undersecretary of State of the % atl enn, has succeeded Cardinal Gasparri as Pope Benedict's Secretary of State. The semiofficial Vatican organ says: "In a conversation which Monsignor Frederico Tedeschinl. new Secretary of State of the Vatican, had with the Home correspondent of the A. B. C., a Spanish newspaper, he made the fol lowing interesting declarations: "Only a Christian peace is desirable, because It will be a peace of Justice. Some people have pretended that a Christian peace ought to be a white fieace, or a peace without result; that s. a peace bringing the world back to the status quo ante. "This is not exact. We believe, on the contrary, that there are rights which Justice must respect. We can not believe, for instance, that Catho lic Poland will revert to tlie same state as it was before the war. As Christians we cannot approve that Palestine shall remain under the Turkish yoke. "We believe also that every one would be satisfied to see Alsace-Lor raine returned to France. We believe, finally, that if the Itdllan provinces now under Austrian domination would be attributed to Italy, no Christian would oppose it, just as no Christian would declare himself opposed to the unification of Rumania in the East.'

THIRD ST. | jjpjjj n ® Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH RUGUST If, 1917. Trouble Is Brewing Between Bulgaria and Her Teutonic Allies Washington. Aug. 11. Trouble is threatened between Austria and Bul garia and possibly between Germany and Bulgaria, according to authentic information which has been received in a diplomatic quarter here. Aus tria was said to be planning the be trayal of Bulgaria in the peace ne gotiations. Germany is irritated by the persistent refusal of Bulgaria to sever relations with the United States, thus completing the alignment of the Central Powers and their allies against America. Austria, foreseeing the necessity of restoring Serbia and foarlng to lose Bosnia and Herzegovina also to Serbia, is declared to be so shaping her policies as to be in a position to offer to Serbia, Instead of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ample compensation in Macedonia, which under the under standing of the terms of the alliance with Bulgaria would go to the latter in the event of a Teutonic victory or a draw. The information came in a round about way from Berlin, and for that reason it is Believed that the Ger man Government is cognizant of. if not a party to. Austria's attitude toward Bulgaria. It is also consider ed possible that the Sofia Ministry has been acquainted with Austria's de sign. in order that Germany might the better exercise influence in Bul garia. which country, from all re ports. is satisfied with its conquests and is lukewarm toward any pro posal that it end its participation in the war. "Austria." an Entente diplomat said yesterday, "is playing a familiar card in seeking to serve her own in terests at the expense of an ally. Throughout Austria's history the Hapsburgs have sought to sacrifice others, friends as readily as foes, in the dynasty's Interests. Dispatches of a confidential nature received from abroad state that both Bulgaria and Turkey are distrustful of Germany, and are only awaiting the conclusion of the war to cast oft German domination. Austrian Miners Won't Dig Iron "to Kill Countrymen" Virginia, Minn.—Austrian miners employed at the Gilbert iron proper ties walked out yesterday declaring they would not produce metal "to kill their countrymen."

CHALMERS MAKES GREAT RECORDS Shatters Previous Mark at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway A stock Chalmers chassis was driven over the Sheepshead Bay speedway 1.598 miles in twenty-four hous at an average actual running speed of 81.09 miles per hour. This dazzling run is the highest perform ance ever made under tho observa tion of the American Automobile As sociation. The Chalmers thus shattered the best previous record of 1,819 miles In twenty-four hours, which was made by the Hudson In May, 1916. The start of this record-muklng run was made Wednesday afternoon, Au gust 1. The Chalmers was driven by Joe Dawson all but five hours when Joe Gardham, another member of the Chalmers factory experimental staff, took the wheel in relief. The feat of the Chalmers Is the most remarkable performance to the credit of any motor car. The Hud son, which created a world-wide sen sation when it traveled 1,819 miles In twenty-t'our hours, has a motor with a piston displacement of 288 cubic inches, whereas the Chalmers stock motor which traveled 1,898 miles in the same time over the same course has only 224 cubic inches displacement. The canvas covering ovea - No. 3 pit at the Sheepshead Bay speedway Happed vigorously in the wind. The sky was overcast. Alongside the pit stood a little car, as lithe as a gray hound, as sturdy as an oak. There was a cra3h of thunder, vivid Hashes of lightning, and then the rain de scended. The men in the judges' stand crowded closer to the center of the stand in an attempt to escape the downpour. The attendants at the pit sought dry spots. The starter who had been waiting patiently at the starting tape while the electrical timing device was tried out ran for shelter. Only the little black and white car stood in the rain, seeming to set at defiance the elements. Soon the rain had spent Its force, though It continued to fall. A white-clad driver climbed into the left-hand seat of the little car. There was a whirr of the self-starter and then a savage bark that told that the gasoline had taken hold. A strong left hand gripped the steering wheel; the right hand gripped the shifting lever, and, as the left foot threw out the clutch, the car was thrown into gear; auto matically tho hand then moved to the right and released the emergency brake; the clutch was eased In; there was a series of louder explosions, a slowly quickening turning of the rear wheels on the wet track, a gear shift to second, then into high—and Joe Dawson, no longer smiling Joe Daw son. but grim Joe Dawson, was on his way to piove that the Chalmers with its 224-inch motor was speedy enough and sturdy enough to do what no other car had dared try for a year—break the existing twenty four-hour stock chassis speedway record. Three times the car flashed past the judges' stand and then the starter waved it down, when it was seen that it would take several min utes to fix the tape that was to re cord the miles. The track was so slippery that Dawson warned the starter not to permit anyone to even cross the track while he was In mo tion because it would have been im possible for him to stop suddenly. Again the little car flashed around the course and Fred J. Wagner, the starter of all of America's Important auto events, waved it on its way. The attempt at the record began at 5.2 5 p. m. Around the two-mile saucer sped the car and the tape clicked as It crossed the line. Down the slip pery track and Into the turns it flew, its motor murmuring as con tentedly as a brook on Its way to the sea. One hour passed. Eighty-three miles was recorded, against 77 for the first hour of the former record. Round and round came the car. Soon the moon, evidently ashamed of the part the elements had played in the program, smiled wanly. Time wore on. a hundred miles was passed in 1 hour 12 minutes and 10.17 seconds, at 83 miles an hour, a higher aver age than for the hour. The pit a.t tendants had their supplies in apple pie order. At the edge of the track stood a pressure tank with two gaso line horses attached in order that gas might be taken on speedily. In side the pit were stored cans of lubricating oil and spare wheels. At 292 miles Dawson drew into the pit, took on gas, oil and water, O K and was gone in less than four minutes. In order to prove conclusively that the motor need not be stopped dur ing the entire run the spark plug was changed while tho motor hummed on. There was a murmur of applause from the spectators as the car gath ered speed. Through the long night Dawson drove on, stopping at intervals for food and for fuel, oil and gas for his engine, but never for any mechanical repairs. A heavy fog rolled In from the east at 2 o'clock in the morning. Denser and denser It grew. Still the car hurled on. There was no slack ening of speed, though the watchers coudl not understand how it was possible to drive so swiftly. At 8 a. m. Dawson rolled up to the pits and turned the wheel over to Joe Gardham. "Take no chances In the fog, Joe," admonished W. F. Sturm, contest .manager, as he patted Gardham on the back as the car slid away and was lost to sight not fifty feet from tho pit. When Gardham drew in for gas later he said the fog was so dense on the turns that he had to ride up against the outslda rail in order to keep his bearings on the turns. A little after 5 a. m. Dawson, refreshed by a catnap, took the wheel again. He completed twelve hours with 957 miles to the car's credit, against 923 for the old record. The car's average was 79% miles an hour. At 8.55 Dawson gave way to Gard ham again. At 11.2 8 Dawson took tho wheel Rnd stayed with it to the end. But through all the change of drivers the car worked on. Flesh grows weak. But when the weary driver climbed out of the car the sturdy heart beating beneath the hood held the even tenor of its way. The motor seemed to set at defiance the fierce heat of the atmosphere, the tremendous strain on the work ing parts and the vibration caused by the inequalities of the track. The sympathetic watcher at the pits could almost see the sinllo of satisfaction and the twinkle in the left front lamp of the car as it seemed to wink as it drew into the pits with the knowledge that it had smashed the twelve-hour record by thirty-four miles. One could almost hear the car immediately stamp Its figurative feet and putter fiercely when a stop be came necessary. It did not seem to wish to waste a minute. As the hours crept by the American Auto mobile Association officials and the men vitally Interested in the perform ance were alternately smiling and choking as the sturdy car moved swiftly on. And if ever love was engendered for an inanimate object it was engendered in those who fed the car and attended to its other wants. Big Jack LeCain, used to tooling 110-miles-an-hour race cars around the speedway, voiced his ad miration time and time again. He had volunteered to assist at the pits and he never closed an eye during the whole twenty-four hours. When he was not helping with the supplies he was flashing the "general O K" sign to tlte driver or giving him the distance yet to go, '■>e time of his last lap and the dim ince he was ahead of the old rec^id. The drivers took an orangeade and sandwiches while the car was being fed. A big chicken dinner was served in the Judges' stand at 7 o'clock the first night to thirty officials and workers, and sand wiches, liquid refeshment and cigars were on tap during the entire twenty four hours. Fred J. Wagner's electrical timing device is xised. Professor Richard Leavell, of lowa State University, operated It. H. A. Tarantous, tech nical editor of Motor, was the techni cal representative of the A. A. A. under whose sanction the test was cohducted. W. P. Sturm, Chalmers contest manager, was in charge of the test. Moving pictures were taken and these w'.ll be sent to the various dealers and distributors desiring them. They show everything from the garage life of the crew to the end of the test. The average an hour for the total time was 79.0833 miles, the old rec ord being 75.8. The stops took up 35 minutes 7 seconds. The actual running time was at an average of 81.09 miles an hour, against the old record of 78.6. One peculiarity of the test of in terest is that the speedway is meas ured three feet from the pole. Ow ing to the speed at which the Chal mers traveled, its <srblt was nearer the top rail than the bottom of the track, so that it is safe'to say that the car actually traveled over 1,940 miles. At twenty-three feet from the pole the distance would be over 1,9222 miles. A mark was made at this point and the car rode con tinually eight to ten feet above the mark. If it were permissible to fig ure the distance at the twenty-three foot mark, the average for the car would be 80.1 for the total time, or 82.14 for the running time. Chalmers consistency is shown by the fact that there is a difference of only sixteen miles between the first twelve hours and the last. The greatest variation in the hour distances was from 75 to 83, or 8 miles; in the old record it was from 65 to 82. or 17 miles. The following table for reference shows the Chalmers performance hour for hour with previous high record. Chalmers Old Hour. Performance.

Aroused by the pacifist meeting yesterday in the capitol. Charles Edward Russell, Socialist member of the returned commission to Russia, denounced all persons proposing peace at this time or falling in unswerving support of the administration. Mr. Russell was particularly se vere in his criticism of Socialists and members of Congress aiding the peace propaganda. Incidentally, he declared, as a result of peace ac tivities in the United States Socialists have absolutely ruined their party. APPLICATION OF TIRES IMPORTANT Improved Methods in Making Tires and Rims Simplifies Changing, Says Expert Careful application of tires is quite as necessary to good service as the selection of correct size for load, or rims being of right design and regular in measurement. Before applying tires, remove rust and all other foreign matter from rims. The danger of pinching inner tubes can be reduced to a minimum by dusting soapstone or powdered mica on the rims so that the tire beads will slip easily Into the cor rect position. Inflate inner tubes Just enough to round them out before placing them inside the cases. Do not use tubes of the wronjx size and be sure that the values are equipped with spread ers adapted to the particular type of cases used, for instance, clincher, quick detachable clincher, or straight side. Valves in Firestone tubes are equipped with universal spreader and therefore suitable for use in all three types. Dust the Inside of the case and the inner tube with pow dered mica or tale. This will reduce friction and prevent adhesion of tube to case after being heated in serv ice. When the tires have been removed for any reason it is a good plan when reapplying, to reverse them, that Is, to place the worn sides of the tires toward the car. It is not generally known, though It is a fact, that al most all the side wear Is to a tire oc curs on the side from the car. This is due to road construction, rut wear, curb scraping, etc. The life of a tire may be pro longed to such an extent that a great deal more mileage may be secured by turning the tires about occasion ally, to secure even wear upon both sides. The tise of straight side cases on clincher rims is discouraged. If best results are to be expected from straight side tires they should be used only on straight side rims which are slightly wider at the base and permit of the necessary spread between cables. If, for some special reason, it is desired to use straight side tires on clincher rims, the rims should always be equipped with filler beads. Some tire users do not realize the importance of using flaps, and oth ers, due to Indifference, or careless ness, place the tubes above the flaps. Users of quick detachable rims having reversible rings should be very careful that rings on both sides are suitable to accommodate the type of tiro applied, i. e., when using clincher tires, both rings should be In position to properly engage beads and if straight side tires are to be used, both rings should be in po sition to fit the straight beads or straight sides of this type.

DtnU ill PHct, f. . t. D,,r,U with clincher tires of small size, not because it is unnecessary, but be cause of the difficulty In using a flap and stretching the tire on the rim so that it will fit properly. The beads of this type of tire are stretchable and are made approximately one inch less In diameter of rim, tho ob ject being to cause the tiro to fit snugly to ring after applied. Several years ago It was a prac tice to use rim strips, a strip of fa bric stretched tightly on rim. These strips caused the beads to fit very snugly to clinches of rim and pro tected the tube from rust and other damage. Flaps should be used, how ever, in clincher tires In sizes about four inches, unless clips or spread ers are used to hold the beads tight ly in clinches of rim so that inner tubes will not be pinched or dam aged. The beads of quick detachable clincher cases and cables of straight side cases are non-stretchable and therefore, made to the approxi mate diameter of rim. Flaps should be used In all sizes of quick detach able clincher and straight side cases, otherwise much difficulty will be ex perienced with" the inner tubes. Punctures used to mean a lot of trouble for tiro users, but tho refine ments in rims now make quick changes possible and this bugaboo no longer worries the average driver. So-called "fillers" intended to eliminate the Inconvenience of punc tures, will not fit the same In tires of various makes, owing to the dif ference In the design, contour and size of tires. Some tiller manufac turers recommend that, after being in service for a short time, more fill er be added to take care of the stretching and other changes In tires. Resiliency being a prime require ment of pneumatic tires, it is hard to conceive of an improvement on air for cushion and elasticity. If fill ers be too soft, the hinging action of tires will be localized and not per mit of strain distribution to suit construction. No advantage over solid tires can be claimed for fillers unless the fillers are resilient. To secure the desired flexibility, fillers are invariably made of pliable ma terials—and being of this nature they will flatten under weight. Objectionable developments are circumferential friction from lack of uniform filling out of case and from displacement at road contact, weight and effect of centrifugal lorce, heat and separation. Rims are caused to sag and become out of round, also the clinches may be spread and twisted as el result of weight, and pounding action, rim cutting above beads of case, pinched tubes, and other annoyances can fre quently bp traced to these Irregulari ties. Tire manufacturers waive the guarantee and responsibiltiy for tires when a substitute for air is used. Car manufacturers discourage excess weight to wheels, specially on the driving wheels —this is particularly true with small cars, the power and rear axle system not being designed for moving an unusual drag.
