" "That would make the Black Sea forbidden ground." said a French expert tonight. As the Russians are here only for discussion of the straits ques tion, tomorrow may see the last of them at Laasanne. They still are in a fighting mood however. An additional fear of the Turks which the allies must calm tomor row is that with which they sar ronnd the proposed Intertnatlonal commission to supervise control Of the straits. The Turks claim the commission will be inquisitor ial on nature, that it may infringe Turkish sovereignty and, finally, that it may be used as a club by some powers to threaten Turkey. Hence their ambition to have a general guarantee pact signed at Laasanne which will Insure the neutrality of the straits and pre vent acts of hostility tn Turkish 'territorial water. 4 ,frbe Turks tonight seemed wn- rffled; -' They did not appear at all Impressed by the ultimatum talk with which the Laasanne at mosphere .la charged.

One of these oil-burning motors recently was installed on a heavy touring car chassis weighing two and one-half tons. The ear made the trip to Bordeaux and back in two days, carrying five passengers, much baggage, and 60 gallons of res erve fuel. The motor is designed to burn "gas-oil," a heavy petroleum pro duct remaining after the kerosene has been extracted. It costs here 12 cents a gallon as compared with 56 cents for gasoline. The car made about seven miles to the gallon and about 2S0 miles on a gallon of lubricating oil, so that the cost of operation worked out at two cents a mile. Experts in charge of the experi ment predict a great future for this type of motor. The engine used was found too small for the weight it had to pull, but an aver age speed of 30 miles an hour was maintained, which was re garded as creditable.
