COLBY'S NOTE ON RUSSIA.

Answering the inquiry i the Italian ambassador as to the posi
I lion l tin 1'nited States in 1 1 1 - Husso-Poland situation, the secre

"That tin present' rulers of Russia do not rule by the will or
the consent of any considerable proportion of the Russian people is
an incontestable fai t. Although nearly two and a half years have

SIXTY-EIGHT KILLED BY AUTOS
I i There were 68 persons kilted and 632 injured by auto aeci-

M were 97 persons killed in New York state

The great number of fatalities in New York City has caused
I Judge Mclntyre to make the following statement to ,i grand jur in
) his court
A "People are being maimed every dav, according to newspaper
I accounts. My own observations have shown that chauffeurs pass
f through our streets at an excessive rate of speed, thus imperiling
the lives of our citizens. They pass the rear of this court boose on
1 Lafayette street at a rate of Bpeed between thirty and fortj miles
j per hour Lafayette street is traveled much by jurors in attendance
I in these courts Witnesses, litigants and lawyer sre constrained lo
H cross to the rear of this building every day. Only a short time ago
j one of our court officers was killed and a policeman seriously in
jured. The taxi drivers in ever pari of ihis city give no heed to
I he provisions of our highway law Tbdy will be seen on numerous
I occasions driving at an extreme)) high rate of speed. Many taxi
I drivers in this county menace the lives and limbs of our citizens
I every day Something should be done to curb the taxicab drivers.
H "The law is sufficiently broad to do so if enforced, and it might
be well if the grand jurj 'ailed the attention of the poln-e depart-
ment to the constant and frequent disregard of The speed laws. A
I suggestion from youi body might have a wholesome effect, and a
II .suggestion from you recommending more severe penalties than are
3 imposed would no doubl induce the courts to impose prison sen-
H teuees more often. The imposition of fines doer not seem to stop
H .reckless driving. Alter investigation on your part if you deter-

WASHINGTON Aug. 11 Presi
dent Wilson already Is beginning to1
Wind up affaire at the- White House
preparatory lo vacating March 4 next.
His first slop In getting ready to
yield possession of the executive man
sion was an order that his flock of 48
sheep, which has become a familiar
sight on the spacious White House
lawn, should be sold
No use carrying them through an
other winter, It has been decided. In
solving the purchase of feed and the
hire of a care-taker, for before the
succulent grass of another spring is
high enough to crop someone else will
be president and the newcomer may
not have either lime or inclination to
bother with sheep.
The president's patriotic venture in
sbccp-ixxlslng, taken as a sllmulus lo
wool and meat production during the
War; has been most successful. The
hi id I'.'is Increased In numbers from
i is 10 '!:. Tho 11)13 crop of wool alone
, donated by the president to the Red
loss, brought that organization more
than $52,000.
President Wilson, however, is not
alone In b( , ruining plans for a change
of residence next March, cicores und
hundreds ol men high 111 official dr
ew g are giving leas and less thought
to the problems ahead of them in their
governmental Jobs and more and more
thought to what they aro going to do
when the administration changes.
Many or these will not wait until
March 4 to make a change Know
ing that even though a Democratic
president may be elected the new
comer will fill the offices closest to
i him with men of blfl own choosing
and not carry-overs from the present
I administration, these already are be-
'gbinlng to lurn in their resignations.
They return either to already os
. tnbllshed Interests of their own outside
Ol to east about for some new con-
I r.ectlon.
Even many men who aro ostensibly
I rotectcd by being under civil service
an preparing -to look elsewhere for
Jobs, as thej say t h .i t civil service reg
ulations become mighty clastic, at
least with respect to choice positions,

Braiiswick Principles g
In Fine Tire Making I
The reason you are interested in the name on your tire id
that it identifies the maker. By knoving the maker you can
judge his ideals of manufacture.
The only secret of a super-tire lies in the principles of the
maker. His standards decide the quality. For there are no j .
secrets in the tire industry.
What you get depends on what is behind the name on your
tire. Brunswick, as you know, means a veiy old concern,
1 jealous of its good name. Since 1845 the House of Brunswick
has been famous the vorld over for the quality of its products.
The Brunswick Tire is all chat you expect and more.
Your first one will be a revelation. You'll agree that you've
never known a better. And you'll tell your friends. So spreads
the news among motorists. The Brunswick is the most wel
come tire that ever came to market. k,
