P NEW LAWS CUT
AUTO THEFTS
Commissioner Sadler Expects
Cars Will Be Much Safer
■' Here as Result
signed fittingly to
punish automobile
T pL' r '~ar-3 number of thefts
if the authorities
fc diligently enforce these laws. Re
ports from police authorities
" throughout the State point to the
%■ * fact that would-be motor thieves
are thinking twice before committing
a crime which may send them to the
penitentiary for ten years. Not all
of the thefts of motor cars which
have taken place in Pennsylvania
have been reported to the automo
bile division of the State Highway
Department. However, the records
filed show that for the last two
years at least one machine a day
has been stolen in Pennsylvania. The
exact number reported to the State
v Highway Department up until Au
gu-t 20. was 776. of which, it was
al-- reported. 115 had been recov
ered either by the owners or by po
lice authorities. The State Highway
Department upon receipt of infor
mation that a car has been stolen
places a special card in the files at
tached to the originat application
card giving the manufacturer's
number. Should a thief, or a person
who secured a car not knowing that
it had been stolen, apply to the au
tomobile division for a license for
a car bearing this manufacturer's
number, the theft would immediately
be detected. The automobile divis
ion proposes amplifying this system
before the 1920 season begins and
*• special request will be made of all
/ automobile license holders that they
k notify the division immediately,
" when a car has been stolen. In the
future the records of the automo
' bile division will show the number
of stolen motor vehicles reported
each week and the number that have
been recovered.

PRAISE YANKS
WITH PERSHING
i Honor Men Who Marched in
the Peace Day
Celebration
London, Aug. 21.—The provisional
regiment of American soldiers who
followed General Pershing in the
Peace Day procession was the first
sample of American fighting troops
' to march in London. Other organi
i zations seen here had been on their
I way to the battlefields, while these
jmern wee returning,
i "Here were the Americans in steel
helmets, marching in companies eight
! abreast with bayonets fixed,' said
i the Daily Express. "They were as
; jovial as any when the procession
i halted, for a time, but while they
; marched their faces were as serious
• and as immovable as the gravest of
graven images. They made a pro
j found impression on the onlookers,
j Their marching was Roman in its
I iron sternness and precision."
| "A magnificent regiment it was,"
I said the Daily Telegraph, "young
: men all of them and the quintessence
iof the alert and lithe. Khaki clad
| in brown steel helmets they looked
j most workmanlike.
"How magnificently they marched, j
swinging past in perfect alignment,
with a long, easy stride, heads held
j high and shoulders squared." said 1
! the Daily News. They are greeted
: vociferously with as good cheering
| as I ever remember having heard in ;
London."
"There was a grim, indomitable
. look about Pershing's men," said
| the Daily Sketch, "an effect greatly 1
l heightened by their shell helmets, '
| and it made all the more wonderful ,
! the burst of clear color which fol- :
| lowed as their massed banners came
i by. Old Glories, along with the rest, j
I held American fashion so that the !
fabric flew freely and no shred of ,
j color was lost. The cheering of
I the crowd turned at the sight to a j
j great 'Ah' of delight. Except for ;
| the passing of the massed colors of
j the Guards with their laurelled [
; staffs, it was the most picturesque j
moment of the procession."
"'Good old Yanks,' thus are the!
; Americans affectionately if some
what familiarly greeted," said the
1 Morning Post in its story of the !
| procession.
