NISTER T0 GREECE RESIGNS HIS POST orge Fred Williams Says He > Won't Lock His Tongue. Waéhington, July 7.—George Fred iams, United States Minister to ce and Montenegro and commen- or upon thé program of the 'wers in the Balkans, has awak- pd to a realization of the fact that.| post in the diplomatic service is pering his freedom of speech [d has therefore tendered his res- ation, It was received at the te partment late yesterday af- fnoon and will be promptly accept- 1t is understood that Mr. Williams’ psignation was quickened by word 6m the White House which imposed Pstraints upon his comments on the Olftical affairs of the Balkans and § criticism of the European gov- nmgn':s for action taken in Albania. Made Many Comments. For more than a week he has been tinuing his comments on the sit- Ition to the amazement of.the Euro- Pani chancellories and at the same ne denying that his resignation had éen sent in. ‘A few hours after Secretary of ptate’ Bryan left Washington on Fri- ay ‘for a brief speaking tour the ité "House authorized a formal dis- laimer 'of Minister Williams’ pro- uhciamentos, and it was understood t this was followed with a sug- estion to the minister that his res- ation would be acceptable. Explanatory Statement. The result was the following state- ént given out yesterday afternoon sed on a cablegram from Mr. Wil- ams:? | Mr. Williams requests Secretary Bryan to tender to the president his esignation as minister to Greece and PMontenegro. He says the reason ffor his resignation is that he cannot omment upon the situation in Al- mia® as he would like under the re- straints imposed by his diplomatic po- sitiop, and that he does not feel that he ‘can consistently keep silent with the knowledge that he has of what is -being -done. | He says also that he considers'the Buccess of the president more import- c_nt to the world than all of the ef- jorts of other men and does not wish 016 ‘embarrass him and wishes to thank him~%or the consideration which has beén shown him. An Interesting Incident. One of the most interesting fea- ures about this statement was that . few minutes before it was given out t the department Secretary Bryan ad said he knew nothing of any esignation of the minister to Greece nd Montengro and that he had not [askel” for Mr. Willlams' resignation. The secretary of state also said that the disclaimer, issued some time after he left Washington on Friday jhad not been sent officially to the Powers. Admitted at White House. At the White House, however, It was said that the disclaimer had been sent to the Powers, and it was also understood that Mr. Williams' res- ignation had been asked for. It is the general opinion here that President Wilson took charge of Mr. Williams' case and directed all steps with ‘regard to reliéving the: govern- ment of such embarrassment as the minister's amazing comments in the situation in Albania have already caused. ~ Mr. Willlams is a close friend of Secretary Bryan and was one of the Bryan selections for the diplomatic service. P MAY CURE BURGLAR. ' Doctors to Remave Bone on Brain of 3 Youthful Bandit. Waterbury, Conn., July 7.—John Anderson, a burglar, who appeared to be in his teens, is to be operated upon in an effort to cure him of stealing. A piece of bone now rest- ing on his brain will be removed: Joseph C. Guilfoile, who has a deep interest in the 1lad, appealed for cleffiency and got the court to stay gentence. He is an inveterate burglar and has been stealing since he fell on a stone many years ago. Automobile (Continued from Eighth Page.) gear shaft a chance to equalize in speed. On cars equipped with cone clutches | it is not always necessary to fully dis- engage the clutch, Sometimes a slight release of the clutch will aid in effecting a more easy shift. If the aforementioned suggestions do not help try letting in the clutch for an instant when the gear is in neutral, passing from high into second. In some instances Raybestos has been used in place of the usual clutch leather. Would suggest, however that you take this up with the manu- facturers of the car you have in or- der to ascertain if this has been used to advantage in your particular make of car. The fact that the cone enters into the flywheel quite a ways does not necessarily mean that it is defctive. The same frictional area is undoubt- edly there and the reason for the clutch not jholding properly is quite likely due to your not keeping the clutch leather in a soft and pliabie condition, Clutch leathers should be treated at frequent intervals with neatsfoot oil or castor oil. This will soften the leather and increase its ad- hesive qualities, If by chance there is too much oil on'the clutch leather, causing it to slip, a little fuller's earth applied in a uniform manner will stop the slipping. . Motoring Departmel I should be pleased to ion of the gentleman; “Motoring Problems” = following: ‘I have a Model 20, touring car, which I} about 23,000 miles. have been using Si pany’s light. grade ze; engine.

Pri to living in this city I used Havolene oil and while the consumption was rather high apparently very little gbt by the rings. I cannot get that make of oil here at a reasonable price. Is it your opinion that the oil which I am using is too light; that the rings are badly worn, or both are the cause of my troubles? 1 do not like to take my engine apart unless necessary. In case, however, I did, would the rings carried in stock by a Hudson agency fit or would it be nec- essary to have special ones cut and fitted at a machine shop? Is the en- tire wear on the ring or is it dividea between the ring and the piston? 5 A W.P. - P. 8.—1It is my intention to try a heavier grade of oil as soon as the supply on hand is exhausted, al- though I ‘believe that the Hudson Motor Car company recommend the light oil. Under the circumstances it would seem advisable to try using a heavier grade of oil. There is no but that the installation of new pis- ‘ton rings would help considerably, providing the cylinders are not worn out of true. If such be the case, it will be necessary to have the cylin- ders rebored and new pistons and rings fitted. The stock ring should answer your purpose. Usually these are slightly oversize in order that they may be fitted to meet required conditions. Most of the wear is' on the rings and cylinder walls. g .o Motoring Department, The Herald: I amn much interested in your page and would like some information as he Herald: to the proper method of descending: grades with a Ford car. In descending a gradual incline is it best to shut off the gas and retard the spark and al. low compression of engine to hold car? - In descending a' steep incline when compression will not hold car should foot brake or reverse be used to keep car under control?—C_ F. C. It is advisable to have throttle closed and the momentum of the car held back by engine. When this method does not sufficiently reduce speed brake should be used.

In city work, whére a driver is obliged to use the lowér gears con- siderably, the gasoline consumption | is much greatér than in open coun- try driving, where the changing from high speed is seldom necessary. .. | Motoring Department, The Herald: As 1 am about to begin work elimi- | nating the “rattles” of my car, I | would appreciate it if you could tell me where most of them occur. Thanking you for information, I am, A. R, S. | Where most of the rattles occur de- | pends to a large degrée upon how jthe car is constructed. Ordinarily such parts as the drip pan, fenders, dust-shield along the running boards, brake rods, brake bands, doors of the body, the hood, etc., -become loose quite easily. Anything that is loose : will rattle when subjected to vibra- { tion. It may be the windshield, the lamps, or even the top. { When driving it is well to note the ! different sources of thé, noise and i eliminate them gradually. If there | are a number of rattles arising from ' a number of different parts of the car it is a difficult matter to start in | and nope to_ eliminate all of them at once in one opeération. . Motoring Department—We have a six-cylinder motor with poppet valves. l:l‘hese valves are located on opposite sides of the motor (not overhead). I kave set all the valves so that they would not tap. Now two exhaust valves have begun tapping again. I would not like to set them up higher as T would lose compression. Would appreciate information that vou could give me leading to elimi- , nation of the nuisance. A, H. R. The valve tap in question may not be caused by the valve lifter hitting t If the cap at the top of the glve lifter has a recess worn into it in itself would be the source of trouble. Perhaps the push rod worn itself loose in the guide, so £ when the cam of the cam shaft the lifter there is a side slap. also possible that the base of the h rod is worn. Would suggest that you remove the push rod and guidb in order to make a careful in- spection of the parts. A oo Motoring Department—Will you kindly answer the following questions either by, letter or in your pdper: Causes of lubricant leaking from hub caps or rear axle. How to stop such ileak. Ought such leaks to be on a | new car? L. L. M. If too light a grease is used in the rear axle assembly it is bound to work out through the bearings. Dur- ing the warm weather a heavier grade of lubricant should be used. It is possible that by mistake too much lu- bricant of too light a grade has been placed in the axle. This would cause it to leak through on a new car &s well as on an old one. If by using a heavier grease the leak does not stop would suggest making'a careful inspec- ticn of the grease retainers. Perhaps these do not fit as tight as they should’ and need relining. Kiie e Motoring Department—Can you tell me why my car swings to the right whenever I apply the brake? I also notice that the right tire wears out sooner than the left, READER. The trouble is caused by unequal brake adjustment; the brake opera- ting on the right wheéel holds better than the brake operating on the left wheel. Both wheels should be raised on jacks and the brake acting rods, eic., adjusted, so that when the brake is applied the tension on each will be equal, This will avoid skidding, and | also relieve the strain on the right tire. e 7 Motoring Department—My car has a disk clutch. When it is released a scraping sound comes from the clutch case, and when it is engaged it slips. I have tried to eliminate the trouble, in several ways, without result. What would you advise? H. K. ‘Would suggest that the clutch be thoroughly cleaned with kerosene. Two or three quarts should be used, at the same time letting the motor run in order to thoroughly cleanse all the clutch parts. Engage and disen- gage the clutch while the motor is running. The clutch case should be drained, and the same operation re- reated until parts are clean. After this use a mixture of light cylinder ofl and kerosene in proportion about three to one. If the clutch does not hold use more kerosene. 1If too flerce use more oil. Try a glass next time and you will quickly '+ appreciate why they are so popular. The Hubert Fischer Brewery, Hartford, Conn. On tap at Charles F.

The locals have taken five out of the last twenty. Springfield has won seven out of twenty and Hartford has captured nine out of that num- ber. New London has won more New Britain and Springfield bined or just the same as Spring- field and Hartford combined, the Planters having netted sjxteen out of the last twenty.

With their batting eyes sharpened, New Britain will meet Waterbury to- morrow afternoon at Electric field and a battle royal should result. The run- ners up in the league, no doubt, ex- pect a walkover, but with either Wil- son or Hancock working the home team may have something to say about that, Despite the fact that New Britain lost, the bleacherites were pleased by their scrappy exhibition against New London yesterday. The Skis had only one bad inning, the second, and al- though facing almost overwhelming odds in a handicap of seven runs, Noyes’ men buckled right into the game and gave the Planters as hard a game as they have had in two weeks. A new spirit has hit the New Britain club since the two-ply defeat handed to Hartford Saturday and in the future any club in the league can count on a stiff fight before downing the Skis. The last time Waterbury was here, June 20, Fohl's men just managed to nose out the home team, 6 to 5. CURED BY SAND. Indiana Politiclans, Out of Jobs, Rec- ommend the Remedy. Muncie, Ind., July 7T.—George W. Cromer, ‘ex-representative in congress; John N. Fitzgibbon, former assistant state factory inspector, and Harry W. Long, former prosecuting attorney, say that they have been cured com- pletely of their ills by eating sand. They had stomach trouble and tried sand as .n experiment. “The sand is not eaten as food, but as something to aid the digestion of food,” explained Fitzgibbon yesterday in dilating on his discovery. *“Chick- ens and turkeys and other fowls do the same thing. That gave us the idea.” The sand edters-recelved many let- ters regarding their novel cure. DEFENSE AGAINST ATTACKS. London, July 7.—As a defense against attacks by air craft the Brit- ish government today decided to dot the coasts of the British Isles with a series of towers, each armed with two quick-firing guns of special de- sign, A complete circie of towers is to be erected around naval stations such as Portsmouth and Rosyth and at other specially vulnerable points. | PRELIMINARY ROUND OF TENNIS CONTEST Belgian and English Teams to Meet Today in First Battle for Davis Trophy. Folkstone, England, July 7.—~Al- though a despondent view of Eng- land’s chances of this year lifting the Dwight F. Davis international lawn tennis trophy is taken by the English rress as well as by the #porting public, much interest was displayed in the preliminary round between England ond Belgium, which begins today. The English team is composed of J. C. Parks, H. Roper Barrett, A. R, F. Kingscote and T. M, Mavrogordato. The Belgian team are P. DeBorman (captain), W. H. Duvivier, L. Trasen- sier and A, G. Watson, The selection of the English players has been much criticised. Parks, 1 i pointed out, proved a great disap- pointment at the Beckenham try-outs, where the tennis papers declare he was “distressingly out of form.” The judges, however, found (it impractic- able to leave him out of the team. Barrett and his partner at the same meeting were badly beaten in the doubles. Kingscote, whose style was very graceful, lacked accuracy and strength, while Mavrogordato did not d‘stinguish himself. In case the English should win from Belgium it will meet the French team at Wimbledon on July 11, 13 and 14, POSTPONED GAMES, Local Clnb Haé Scven Games to Play Off in Double Bills,- | A review of the games postponed | shows that New Britain has seven i games that come under that head- !ing.
