SIMS PREDICTED !
THE WAR IN 1910
Recalls Message at Farewell
Speech at the American
Club in London
-By Annotated Press
Loudon, March 15.— Vice-Admiral
William S'. Sims, commander of the
American naval forces In the war;
zone. In a farewell speech at the |
American Luncheon Club yesterday i
said that in 1910, when sixteen'
American warships spent several!
weeks in European waters, he sub
mitted a secert report to the ud-!
miral commanding: that, in his opin
t? niany American and
British officers, war could not be
put oft more than four years. He
stated that he just wanted to men
tion this fact for what it was worth.
After referring to his "undiplo
matic remarks" at the Guildhall in
I<oudon several years ago. when he
asserted that Great Britain and the'
United States would be found to-i
getlier in the next war, he reviewed!
the work of the Navy, saying it had;
co-operated closely with the ,\mer- ,
ican Army in keeping communica-|
tion lines.
"There was no friction," Admiral
Sims declared, "That may seem a'
Platitude, but all my reading of na- i
val history has convinced me that
this was the first instance in the
world where an army and navy real- i
Iv co-operated. Most commanders i
spend the balance of their lives'
writing how the other fellow as 1
mistaken. I have the greatest ad-i
miration for John Pershing. He
had the greatest job any comman-!
der ever had, and you would be sur
prised if you knew the trouble we
had to get the Army to the front."'

Pennsylvania's Record
To no state in the Union does a
motor show of these proportions
have more significance than to
Pennsylvania at this time when $50,-
000.000 has been voted for good
roads and when the Commonwealth
has a Governor Sproul who is on
record as declaring:
"The most important of all proj
ects in front of me is that of good
roads. This legislation has been
drafted and is on its passage through
the Legislature. It will require an
additional measure or two to create
the sinking fund when the amount
of bonds to be issued within the next
two years is determined. Mr. Sad
ler. the State Highway Commis
sioner. is whipping his department
into splendid shape and results are
beginning to be manifest."
The Governor's Support
This attitude on the part of Penn
sylvania's chief magistrate insures
that this will be the greatest year
ever for the touring car; that great
| multitudes will seek the open road
J for healthful recreation and for an
i education of the right sort gained
only by traveling through a State
I which is second to none in noble
, scenery. Second to this benefit is
I that contributed by the automobile
|to good roads, as realized by the
Governor. The automobile and good
j roads are so closely associated that
i one can hardly exist without the
| other, and one of the great lessons
j of the war now arousing keen in
| terest in all parts of the country is
! the demand for well improved
I through highways making far dis
j tant points as accessible by motor
i traffic as places nearer at hand in
j more local communities.
Reasonable prices are to prevail,
say the local dealers, this being an
| other stimulus to whole country out
ings and the fact that nearly 6,000,-
I 000 automobiles are now in use in
| the United States is a convincing
j object lesson <sf the fact that a
large part of the population has
I found both comfort and service in
I the motor car.
Up to the Minute
f The floor space of the llarrisburg
I show measures 300x100 feet, beau
i tifully lighted and decorated and the
; general result is far more splendid
| than any one here contemplated just
, previous to the signing of the ar
j mistice on November 11. Indeed,
| there was fear that Harrisburg
would have no such event but with
| return of sudden peaceful condl
j tions the dealers here found instant
I co-operation from manufacturers
| and the display will be far in ad
l vance of anything ever seen here.
I Visitors will find no memories of
war except in its effect of making
thousands of owners fairly expert
mechanics, and their knowledge of
cars, naturally leaning to those of
the greatest simplicity, is destined
' to exert considerable influence upon
| designers in making the motors,
.gears, brakes and other parts read
i ily available for repairs outside of
the service station.
Many Makes on Display
With sixty-five or seventy differ
ent makes of cars, one of the big fea
tures of the show will be accessor
ies. and another the display of trac
tors and commercial trucks, the lat
ter to be prominent towards the end
of the event. Every type of vehicle
is to be seen, front the snappy road
ster to the luxurious sedans and
limousines. Local dealers assure
that the six-cylinder motor will be
the predominating type this vear.
The four-cylinder type will still be
found popular, especially in many of
the medium-priced roadsters and
small touring cars, and there will be
about the usual number of eights
and twelves, two or three manufac
turers making types of six and
twelve cylinder models for the same
sized chassis. Braking systems will
be found to be much improved and
this also holds true with the wiring
system, spring suspension and bet
ter accessibility in getting at the
more intricate parts of the mechan
ism. There is also a tendency to
ward greater weight reduction and
more is likely to be accomplished
in this respect during the year. The
adoption of overhead valves, suc
cessfully installed on several cars 1
during the last two years. Is growing ;
in favor and next season will un- |
doubtedly see a larger proportion of i
cars so equipped.
OF Interest to Women
Tt is safe to predict that women !
wii; be deeply interested in this j
great show by reason of the numer- j
ous accessories which include most i
everything from oils, grease to run
ning water in the car. Clyde Myton,
secretary-treasurer of the local as- ]
sociation. called attention to a blind |
man who was among the first visi
tors to-day, an evidence of the in- I
tense interest being manifested.
The two weeks promise daily
events of uncommon lure, with army
tanks buzzing about in the streets
and many aircraft sailing above. If
you want to see Harrisburg on the
motor map, visit tills show.
Villa Bandits Seize Ranch
Foreman and Ask Ransom

El Pnso, Tex,, March 15.—Martin
Lopez and Ramon Vega, two Villa
commander, appeared at the OJitos
cattle ranch, ninety miles south of
Hachita, N. M„ Thursday and seized
"Rube" Spencer, American negro
ranch foreman and naMexiean ranch
employe. Yesterday a demand was
made upon the ranch managers for |
$5,000 ransom for the release of
Spencer. This is the third time
Spencer has been held for ransom
by Villa followers. United States
troops have been sent from Hachita
to the Corner ranch, on the border,
to protect merican property there.

a remarkable thing that the Tele
graph printed three whole columns
[on the venture. I might add that the
machine was so busted by this time
that we came back home with two
mules pulling us. It was a good
while after this. In 1903 I think,
when I managed to run to Philadel
phia and back, an event historical.
Now we hop in a car here at 6 a. m.,
and are in New York for lunch.
The First Garage
"The old Calder stable was the
first garage and I had one at Arthur
Young's stable on Briggs street; we
finally built,a separate place at Third
and Hamilton streets, witli a show
' room. Our business the first year
resulted in selling just one car, and
j ] think that came back on our hands.
I Now our sales run along 597 a year!

i pioneers were convinced that the
horseless carriage had a big future
and the first dealers association in
cluded I. W. Dill, Andy Redmond
Bernard Schmidt. Charley Barner. C.
C. Crisman, myself and Clyde Myton
secretary and treasurer. Take* it
from me we were very cocky, and
we got our first wallop when the
license fight broke loose. Many will
recall how this started with a man
who claimed to have the sole right
to inventing the contrivance of trans
mission. Here it was Henry Ford first
became prominent. He fought this
to a finish, spending a fortune, and
when he got through there were no
license difficulties and the business
began to thrive. >
Twelve Day*
"It thrived so lively that our little
association awakened the stiffest sort
of competition here and we found
ourselves arrayed against the out
laws as we dubbed them. They had
about twenty-two dealers in their
company and made things so hot for
us. with their annual show, that the
forces came together amicably and
this was a great thing for all."
"Protect the manufacturer and dis
tributor and promote harmony was
the slogan we adopted and which we
have observed. The result is that we
ask favors pf nobody: we are as sub
stantial as the New- York jobbers,
and we are staging a display second
to none, with twenty-three dealers
in passenger cars from Harrisburg
and the near vicinity, representing
thirty-four makes of cars: with
twen,> -seven dealers in accessories
and twenty-five distributors of trucks
illustrating thirty-one types."
The magic hand of prograss and in
vention which touched the Overland
building this week was the same
which has changed the former stable
garage Into a palace, as evidenced
by the many splendid motor homes
in Harrisburg. Not the least of these
is the new spacious plant of the Reo

the toll iniquity, and. bingo, the
cheerful news came that It would
never again cost six cents each way
to Rockvllle. They had the bridge
toll reduced by half; thus encourag

They eliminated the $1.02 toll to

.400 in the big league. Hundreds of
persons suffered from motor thieves
and these speedsters were among the
most active in getting passed the law
offering 150 for reward for arrest
and conviction. Erecting signs and
warnings for speed traps and danger
ous spots, besides furnishing vast
information to tourists are only a
few of the good things to the credit
of this branch of the industry.
At present the club bas but 900
metnbers who arc asked but 15 to join,
and this big show will establish a new
drive for the club should have at
least 2.000 members estimating that
every lifth family in the vicinity owns
a car. This club saved the motorist
notably by opposing the attempt to
set the license fee at 125, holding it
down to $lO, and it worked against
the bill which aimed to make every
member of a family have a license.

Many Professions
For Disabled Soldiers
Washington, March 13. There
seems to be a general impression
that the re-education and training
given disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines by the United States gov
ernment is wholly in the manual
trades. Just where this impression
originated is hard to say, but pos
sibly on account of the general un
derstanding that vocationa' educa
tion means instruction in wood
working or machine shop work, or
something of the sort. As a matter
of fact, out of the first 787 disabled
veterans placed for re-education by
the Federal board for vocational
education at Washington, which is
the agent of Congress in providing
this free re-education for these men.
a considerable number are In the
professions, pure and simple.

Field as to tlio possibility of securing a ride In tlie aeroplanes that
soar over the city. But we do not advise any one to go up in mi

declared that the principal thing to lenni about tirst is the workings
of the mechanical parts. Big money is made by lining able to mnke
quick repairs 011 the aeroplane when it is out of order. The flying Is
as simple as riding in an automobile. It is claimed by some of the
expert flyers that they prefer flying in an aeroplane to riding in an
automobile. Thousands of our young men are nojv learning and j,
must learn both trades, the aeroplane and the automobile.
Five years from now there will lie over 100,000 operators needed. J'
