Instead of peace, yon will probably see more determined fighting, greater activity, , greater ( expenditures, greater tnxes. There is now nothing on which the fight can be called off. Nothing has been decided so far except the Ire incurious advantages of a nation that I'urefully presses forward and the liaudtcno of a nation that trusts to pence and popguns.

The speech of Chancellor Von itelhmnnn-nollwctf before the Ger man ri'ichtag was characterized by Mi, l.ioyd George n constituting in substance a denial of the only terms upon which peace was posihlc. To Consult Colonies. Premier lJoyd George said the time had come when ihe dominions should he consulted more ; vmally as to war.

Settlement of tin Irish question, the premier added, would be a great war measure. ItuJimiihin Itiunder. Dealing with the war situation, the premier said he bail to paint a stern hut not gloomy picture. The Iiu mnnian blunder was an unfortunate one, but at the worst it only pro longed the war and could not affect it. It might bnve a salutatory effect, lie continued, in calling the attention of the allies to obvious defects of or ganization. To prevent the Kumun ian situation from becoming worse, they had taken rtrong net ion. In Greece they were taking no risks. They had decided to recognize the agents of Conner Premier Venizelos. Speaking of the western front, .Air. Lloyd Georce referred to the growth of the Hiitish armies there, and con tinued : "J am convinced ultimate vie 1 013 is sure if the nation shows the Name spirit of endurance and readiness to learn as the luud-utaiued armies at the front." JHuncLstlc, Problems. Turning to the more purely polit-, ical of the domestic problems before) he new ministry, Mr. Lloyd George' aid; 4'Ve are anxious to avoid all eon- trovcrsiul questions. The functions; of the premier and leader of tlm house of commons have been separat-1 Od because it was shown the double 1 tusk-; were too much for one man. The makeup of the new cabinet is best adapted for the purpose of war. I Tu war vou want prompt decision, and the allies have suffered disaster af ter disaster from tardiness in decis ion.' The premier analyzed the German hanccllur's speech and then de clared emphatically: "Without reparation peace is hn ssjble. Moreover, what guarantee is there subterfuges will not. be used in an effort to overthrow anv treat ies of peace wlo-reiiito we uiight now eutel t l'uroMft of War. "We must keep a steadfast eye on the ptirpo-e for which we entered the wur. We entered it to defend Eur ope from aggressions of the Prus sian military caste. We must insist that there be the most complete guar antees iigaiut this caste ever dis turbing UKaia the peace of Europe. "Prussia has been a bad neighbor. Now that the war has really been ! undertaken, it would be folly not to ee to it that this swashbuckling through the streets of Europe and thi di-turbance of peaceful citizens was dealt with here nnd now Us the rnoM seriou-. offense again.-t the law of nations." "We will wait until we heur what term and guarantees there aie. other than those, better than those, surer than those which Germany .so lightly broke. Meanwhile we shall put trust in our unbroken army rather than in broken faith." It was ten mtiules past 4 o'clock when the premier rose before the bouse of commons. "I appea r before the house," he begun, "with the greatest responsibil ity which has fallen on any man as chief adviser of the crown in the midst of the most gigantic war ever waged, on which depends the destiny of luilions and humauitv. The re- j sponsibilities of the government are j accentuated by the declaration of the 'German chancellor and the note com jmuuicateil through the I'niled States. Our answer wilj be yiven in full ac cord with our allies." 'Ibis statement of the premier was greeted with cheers. German Noto a Paraphrase, "The Gentian note was a mere paraphrase of the chancellor's sjieech. Each of the allies has sep arately iiiid independently considered the matter and arrived at the siune conclusion. 1 am glad the first ans wer has been given by France and Kiissia. They had umpiestionably the first right to speak, for the enemy is still on their soil and their sacri fices have been great. I simply stand here to give clear nnd definite sup port to the statements they have made. "Anyone who wantonly prolongs this conflict has a crime on his soul which oceans of tears could not cleanse," the premier declared, "but anyone who abandons the struggle without attaining the object would be even more guilty. Are we likely to attain our object by accepting the German proposals? To accept the proposals would be to put our heads into a noose. Historic example causes us to regard the proposal with disquiet." AsquUh Offers Services. Iteferring to the mobilization of labor, the premier said no man would be taken into the army if he, were capable of rendering more useful ser vices outside it. Arthur Neville Chamberlain, be announced, had been appointed di rector general of national service. Alter the premier's speech, which lasted one hour and fifty-five min utes, Former Premier Asipiitli, rising to reply, said his one desire was to place at the disposal of the govern ment whatever experience he pos sessed. Mr. Asipiith said it must be a peace which achieved the purpose for which the war was entered on, such a peace as would he accepted gladly and that "auything short of it we are bound to repudiate." MILITIA NEEDS TRAINING (-Continued From Page One.) General Scott said, 'it has always I failed us. It is undemocratic, nnrc I liable, ireflicient an expensive." ' Askcl it' dotiltln th iuv of nrivfittts would improve the present system.) General Scott said: f "If you increase the pay of the' army to a point where it would pro-! duce a force of the size we must ; huve, you wiil bankrupt the nation."!

The question of how io bring about the anticipat ory preparation for national defense is a question of policy, rather than theory. Whether universal military service, or a selective conscript ion is the correct answer, I do not know.

There is a fundamental difference be tween the Buick and other cars apd that differ ence is due to the Duick Valve-In-Head motor. The Buick Valve-in-Head motor differs from the other types of motors in both appearance and action. It is different In appearance because the valves through which gas enters and leaves the cylinders are in the tops, or heads of the cylin ders, whereas In other types of motors these valves are placed in pockets it the side of the cylinder. Because of this different method of placing the valves In the Buick cylinder, the Buick motor, in action, has two great fundamental advantages over all other types of motors. This method of locating the valves makes the Buick motor abso lutely different from and superior to any other type of motor. And when we say "superior" wo assert a fact that can be demonstrated Just as easily and precisely as a sum in arithmetic. It is Important that you gut this clear in your head before you attempt to. understand the mean ing of "Valve-in-IIead." TWO AI)V.XTAf;i:S. First, the Buick Valve-in-llead motor con serves and uses a larger percentage of the power contained in gasoline than any other motor. ' Second, because of its Valve-ln-llead con struction, the dead gases resulting from each ex plosion in the Buick cylinders are more com pletely expelled than in any other type of motor, thus preventing the next Incoming charge of fresh gasoline from being weakened through mix ture with remaining portions of these dead gases, consequently increasing the power of each explo sion. The first of these advantages, while stated In fewer words. Is by far the moro Important, as you shall see. Now we come directly to the real meaning of the term "Valve-in-Head: The buyer should understand that an auto mobile motor Is by far the most important part of a motor car, and that tho whole question of the car's "worth depends upon its motor. Next in Importance the buyer should understand that all automobile engines aro heat engines.' Re gardless of their form of construction or their number, of cylinders, all automobllo motors are licjit engines. By that it is meant that hent Is the force which furnishes tho power of the motors. To teach an understanding of automo bile motors it Is first necessary to get this fact firmly fixed In mind. Gasolino Is the fuel which supplies the hnat. In other words, gasoline Is the "raw material" for making Int, just as cotton Is the raw mater ial for making cloth. THU EXPLOSION". When the gasoline Is taken into the carbu retor it is vaporized and mixed with air. That is, it is transformed into gas. This gas is then taken into the cylinders by means of an electric spark, it Is burned, or, as we generally say, it is "exploded." Gasoline vapor burns so quickly that we speak of the transformation as an "ex plosion." If you could burn a stick or stove wood or a lump of coal as quickly as you can a quantity of gasoline, they, too, would "explode." This burning, or "exploding," of the gasoline, creates a very high degree of heat. Heat, as every body knows, expands and It is tills expansion of lioat againM the piston which cnascs the automobile- to move. A fresh charge of gasolino Is taken into tho cylinder each alternate downward stroke of the piston, or, as we say, tho "power" stroke. At tho end of tho power stroke the hit derived from this charge of gasoline is gone. It was used up in the effort necessary to drive tho pis ton downward. Then comes the exhaust stroke, and then another power stroke. This process goes on contlually in each cylinder while the automo bile is running. 1IF.AT MAKKS IT CO. The hent, you see, pushes the piston down ward, and this movement of the piston is trans ferred to the crankshaft, and thence to the rear nxle, and from there to tho rear wheels. So you see It is hent that causes the automobile to move. Hent is the power that drives an automobile. So far, we have been talking about all auto mobllo motors. Now you shall see wherein the llulck Valve-ln-IIead motor differs from the other types.. We could never hope to make you understand just what this difference is unless we first pointed out to you that the propelling force of all automobile motors, including the Buick, Is hoat. As a matter of plain common sense it can be understood that It is to the utmost Interest of the automobile owner to possess a car which uses tho very highest possible percentage of the licflt derived from gasoline to puh the piston. All of the heat which goes elsewhere than against the piston Is waste. The Buick motor conserves, and uses, n higher percentage, of this hent than any other motor, as you shall see. When gasoline is exploded in tho cylinder of an automobile motor there are just two places It can go just two avenues of escape for it. First, it. ran find an outlet by pushing the piston downward. Second, It enn cscnpc through tho cylinder wiiIIn Into the wntcr that Is nsert to keep tlto cylinders from gvt ling too hot. Now it stands to reason that the automobile owner wants the largest possible amount of that heat to go KKnlnst the piston. That Is what he buys gasoline for to move his car. It Is neces sary, however, to have water surrounding the cylinders, for otherwise they would get so hot that they would melt. And right at this point is where Buick su periority begins. In the Buick more of the hent goes against the piston, and less into the water, than in any other motor. This is because of the Buick valve arrangement. SAVIXCJ OF WATF.Il J.UIvF.TING. In the Buick motor tho valves are In the tops, or heads, of tho cylinders; hence the namo "Valve-in-Head." This means that the valves are In a sot that 1b already water-jacketed, so that no additloiuil water-jacketed space Is necessary to accommodate them. In the "I." head and "T" head motors, on the other hand, the valves are placed In little com partments alongside the upper parts of the cylinders like an alcove to a room and theso little compartments must bo water-cooled, ex actly the same as the cylinder proper. That means a larged water-jacketed area for eacli cylinder, and therefore nn lm-resl opportunity for heat to escape. The cylinder walls are hollow, and through this hollow portion a current of water passes con tinually, to take up the heat which would other wise melt the Iron of the cylinders. And in all motors except the llulck Valve-in-Head there are these little compartments, or "valve pockets," as they are called, also with hollow walls with water flowing through them. They aro simply an addition to the cylinder. LESS WASTE OF HKAT MOItK POWER Thus, you sec, there is less opportunity for heat to escape into water In the Buick Valve-ln-IIead motor. That means more heat against tho piston, which means, in turn, more power for the rear wheels. Vou often have heard that tho Buick is the most powerful motor. Well, that valve arrange ment is the reason for that greater power. The Buick motor will develop from fifteen to 'twenty per cent more power than similar sized motors of the other types, and the reason for that greater power is simply tho fact that in tho Buick motor there In fifteen or twenty per cent less waste of lient. To waste lieat by allowing It to escape into i the water surrounding unnecessary valve pock ets is exactly the same as buying flvo gallons of gasoline and then pouring one gallon of It into the gutter. You might just as well throw it away in the beginning as to use it to create heat to be absorbed by the water that surrounds tho valve pockets in these other types of motor. DEAD GASES COMPLETELY' EXPELLED Due to the fact that the exhaust valve In the Buick Valve-in-Head motor Is directly in the top of the cylinder the dead gases which result from each explosion are more completely expelled, thus leaving the cylinder clean for the Introduc tion of the next chargo of fresh gasoline. In other types of motors the dead gases cannot get out so easily, Tor the reason that they have to make a roundabout journey in order to get through the exhaust valve. If you had two pumps ut work forcing water through two sets of pipes, one set being straight pipes and the other set curved and crooked, you would find that tho pump attached to the straight pipes, using the same amount of power, could pump a great deal more water than the ono attached to the crooked pipes. This would be due to the fact that water go ing through the crooked pipes would meet wth more frictional resistance along the side walls of the pipes. At each turn and twist of the pipes the water would be held back. And this is exactly what happens in "L" and "T" head motors. Tho dead gas is first forced against the head of the cylinder, and since there is no opening there, It Is next forced Into the valve pocket. And after being forced through the valve pocket it finally finds the exhaust valve at the bottom of the pocket. In this long, winding passage It can readily bo understood how a part of the dead gas is retarded nnd held back by the frictional resis tance encountered, and is thus kept In the cylinder to be mixed with the next Incoming charge of fresh gasoline, which It dilutes nnd weakens. This is why "h" nnd "T" head motors soon get "dead" and loggy. This Is why these motors soon lose the snap and liveliness that is so char acteristic of the Buick Valve-In-Head motor. When the "L" and "T" head motors are new and clean they aro lively enough, but they soon be come "dead" and "heavy", whereas the Buicn Valve-In-Head motor Is just as peppery alter thousands of miles of use as when new. In C.io Buick Valve-in-Head motor the dead gases take' a straight shoot for the opening. No corner to turn. Xo projections to stop them. No pockets to retard their flight. They make a straight, headlong dive through the exhaust valve. Theso llulck facts are unanswerable. They can't be debated. Make sure you understand this Buick Valve-in-Head principle, it is the greatest and most important principle in the whole field of motor car operation. yours Ut come.
