WHY THEY WANT PEACE.
By Raymond J. Clapper.
(United Pivss Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. 12. With the al
lied armie8 driving ahead in the near
east to re-establish their front on tho
Danube river, Turkey is acclerating her
efforts to withdraw from the war.
Following tentative negotiations with
the allies, reported for the last few
days, Turkey is now said to bP sending
an-appeal-to President Wilson, probably
similar to that of Bulgaria, urging his
aid in obtaining for lurxcy an armis
tice and her retirement as a teutonic
ally.
Her position as a belligerent is In
coming more and more dangerous and
hor surrender ig expected lrfcmcntarily
to prevent complete disaster. General
Allonby has wrecked Turkey's armies
and once the allies reestablish Danube
front, Turkey will bo cut off from all
hope of aid from Germany.
Whon the allies get this waterway

munitions to Turkey via tho Black sea.
must cease their operations and the
' Ottoman empire will be wiped out of
the war. . . . .
j This accomplished, the Dardanelles
I will bo thrown open to ire allied fleet,
I Odessa opened as a base for re-con-:
struction of an eastorn front in Russir,
and the plight of Austria will bc
come increasingly sanous.
It is possible, therefore, that Ger
many is exerting overy pressure to hold
her ally in line or engineer Turkey's
exit in such fashion as to get what sal
vage she can out of the ruins. For that
reason, officials here are withholding
commnt on the latest reported Turk
maneuver until official advices aro at
hand.
Eahmy Pasha, governor of Smyna, is
now in Athens seeking a separate peace
with allied representatives here. Tho
he is a young Turk, he is anti-German
and has steadfastly refused to yield to
the pro-German Envwr and his vassals
at Constantinople. He is ambitious to
be independent of Turkey proper and is
; dickering 0n that basis with allied lead
ers at Athens, advices say.

He has the investigation under way.

These officials are at Ihe prison to

certain employes and off icals connected
with tho prison have been forcing con
victs to pay them money on the pre
tense that it would aid them in obatin
ing paroles er pardons from Governor
Withycombo.
Since the M. 8. Irvin case came to
light, precipitating the investigation,
various other caseB of somewhat simi
lar nature have been reported and are
being investigated.
It has come to light that a convict
by the name of Bud Htubler wrote a
letter to Parole Officer Joe Keller in
which a parole and the payment of
money were linked together. Suspicion
was directed toward Keller as soon as
the Irvi case wag made public.
Stubler in his letter says he has been
before the parole board twice and fail
ed to get a parole.
"I am perfectly willing that you
should be appointed my guardian to look
after me," Stubler 's letter to hller
then said in substance. "The $100 will
b0 ready for you in 90 days."
Stu ler has been paroled.

Twelve Thousand New Cases
Reported In Army Camps
Since Yesterday.
Washington, Oct. 12. The epidemic
of Spanish influenza appears to be
slightly on the decline in army camps,
according to a report issued by the
office of the surgeon general.
Twelve thousand and twenty four
new cases were reported in the last 24
hours, a decrease of 297 cases over the
preceding day.
The total number of eases reported
from army camps .since" the malady
made its firt ap'pearance is 223,144.
Netf cases of piicimiouia reported,
however, show' a slight increase over
previous reports.
Eight hundred and ninety two deaths
occurred at the camps during the day,
most of them due to pneumonia.
Aviation camps which up to this
time have been coniaratively free of
influema ere reporting an increasing
number of new cases each day.
Because of. the influenza epidemic,
the supreme court will nut reconvene
for business until October 21. The court
will adjourn immediately after it meets
next Monday.
Hiram W. Belnap, manager of the
safety section of the railroad adminis
tration died here today of pneumonia
brought on by influenza. Belnap before

Xew York, Oct. 12. President Wil

field iad heroes of all other nations
engaged in whipping Oerniany, modern
ordnance from tho factories cf the
United States and twisted and smash
ed ordnance captured from fleeing
German troops combined today to
boost the liberty loan ia New York.
They halpod by engaging in a great
parade down Fifth avenue the avenue
of .the allies with the president march
ing in, the"niiddle of. the parade.
. Following President Wilson were
American soldiers. Scattered liberally
through "the rond were thesolieis of
other "nations and none drew greater
share 'of "applause than the other.. The
president was the recipient ,.l .-oiiwn '
uous outbursts of cheering. Through1
the long line were scattered parts of
German airplanes, the wreck of a Zep
neliu which will never again engage in
the killing expeditious for it whs shot
down by the French; smashed German
howitzers, French whippet tanks,
heavy cannon taken from the Hun
hordes on the battlefields of France
bv American soldiers aud other imple
ments of war. They were dragged on
trucks, snaked along behind trucks, or
pulled by tractors riding on their own
wheels. They drew varied expressions
from the crowd.
The president had been expected to
sit in the reviewing stand at Fifth
avenue and 23rd street Madison
Square but he passed on by this point
and continued down the avenue to
Washington arch, where it ended. In
the stand were Governor Whitman and
other ptoiuinent officials.
.Tho crowd "was given some excite
ment as the parade passed fifty First
street. H. J. Boone, aged 55, a printer,
rushed from the east side of Fifth
avenue toward the president and was
snatched back by John Lyon, a police
man. The crowd started a demonstra
tion and attempted to get Lyon's pris
oner, but he beat them off.
Boone later said he was an English
man, naturalized in this country and
merely wanted to shake hands with
he president. He was not armed.
A citizen later picked up a loaded
rovolver of .38 caliber, near where the
scuttle with Boone occurred, it was of
the regulation pattern carried by New
lork policemen and was in a Holster.
It was believed tho weapon may have
been dropped by a policeman or e de
tective. Boone disclaimed ownership
of the rovolvor.
Boone was held by the polic? lor ex
amination without any specilic charge
being placed against him.

Will The Air-Cooler "Come Back"?
Maximum Prices Fixed
On Fir Timber Products
Washington, Oct. 12. Maximum
prices on fir timber will be enforced
from Octo cr 25, 1918, midnight, until
January 15, 1919. This was agreed upon
by westcoast lumber manufacturers and
loggers and the price fixing committee
of the war industries board today.
This f't timber is nsed in building
aircraft and in ship construction, spat 9
and masts particularly. Prices for both
rough and divssed ship timbers were
established March 19 at 40 per thous
and feet. Prices for number"bne tim
ber remain at 20 per thousand, feet;
number two grade at 118 per thousand;
number three grade at $12 tmt thous
and. The prices are effective at the
mill.
CHE QUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED whether there Is any likelihood
of air cooling again coming Into widespread favor for automobile
engines. Only the future can give an answer to this query, but it may
be remarked that since the time, now fifteen years or so ago, when
air cooling was In prominence, the conditions have changed In soma
respects not to the disadvantage of this meihod. When air cooling fell
Into disfavor, the engine almost universally In use was a four cylinder of
slow speed and rather poor efficiency. In order to produce the power
demanded, cylinder bores of four to five Inches were required. Such large
bore cylinders were and still are very difficult properly to air cool. Thanks
to enlarged valve areas, and lighter moving parts In engines and to weight
reduction and lower gear ration In cars, the cylinder bores of modern four
cylinder engines are almost always of less than four Inches, seldom of
more than three and one-half Inches In sixes and of three Inches or less In
eights and twelves. Cylinders of these relatively small sizes are very
readily cooled. The breakage and pitting of valves was another failing of
the old time air coolers, but so much better valve materials are now avail
able as to render trouble from this cause unlikely. One cause of faulty
performance of the early air cooled engines was the lack of skill of their
operators In controlling spark position and throttle opening, but motorists
are now much more skillful. Present-day fuel is go Involatile as to require
a high engine temperature for Its effective vaporization. Indeed It Is by
no means certain that the highest temperature attainable In a water cooled
motor Is high enough to give the best vaporization with the fuels we may
soon be compelled to use. With the air cooled engine, working temperatures
as high as compatible with perfect lubrication and full weight charges are
readily obtainable. The high fuel efficiency of the air cooler ia attributed
to its high cylinder wall temperature. In starting a water cooled engine
from a cold condition the temperature not only of the engine Itself but of a
large body of water ffns to be elevated to the normal working point while
with the air cooler, only the cylinders and their attachments have to be so
heated, thus expediting the attainment of efficient working condition.
FUNCTION OF THK BliKATIIER.
33P1F
S. A. McC. asks: What Is the ob
ject o( the so-called '"breathers," that
are attached 'to engine crank-cases?
Answer: The breather Is simply
a vent from the crank-case to the
open air, which prevents the air
pressure therein from ever rising
much above that of the outside air.
It Is extended vertically and provid
ed inside with tullla plates, so that
oil cannot spatter out of it and so
that it can conveniently be used as
an oil filling tube. . In some types
of engines, the space in the eranlc
case, beneath the pistons, varies con
siderably at different part ot the
stroke and the crank-case pressure
varies accordingly and there also Is
some pressure created by the "blow
by" of the charge down post the
pistons. Too much crunk-case pres
sure means useless work of the pis
tons on the down stroke and lose of
oil around the pistons, shaft bearings
and valve push rods, and this the
breather prevents. However, breath-.
ers aro not universally used nd a
slight crank-case pressure U some-'
times made use of to force a little
oil up around the valve push rode
for their lubrication.
BRAKES ACT TOO IIARSIILY.
3. LcB. asks; What Is the caus
of my brakes acting too suddenly T
Also, at times they seem to catch
and then let go, chattering badly.
Is there anything I can do to make
them take hold more gradually and
smoothly?
. Answer: Quite possibly your
brake linings have become too hard
and dry. You might try applying a
small amount of oil and graphite to
the linings or perhaps hotter, to the
drums. Only a little should be used.
Tou can readily try this on tfce out
side brakes and see how It works,
