Von Hlndenburg was planning a campaign against Petrograd was received at the capitol with surprisingly little consternation, evoking rather a spirit of calm and unshakable confidence in the loyalty of the troops and the ability of the army to protect the city from the new danger. If German calculations are based upon the supposed demoralization of 4k jtAljMAtw mrra than a trflnfllent
defection of the troops at the front from their discipline and loyalty to their commander, these calculations are plainly in error. Seeks to Sow Discontent It is undeniable that daring the first days following the revolution, the extreme radical and socialist element aimed at taking advantage of the overthrow of the authority by sowing further discontent among the workingmen and soldiers.

Graham, a member of the board to attend, Ralph Stuart, president of the alumni association, said today. The charges against Professor Appelmann are based on correspondence which he had with a German naval representative In New York. '
peasant population which, bewildered by the new vista of freedom and equality, and having had little experience wilh liberty of any sort, imagined that it meant relaxation of every kind of authority and discipline, made the propaganda of the agitators easy at rst. But the prompt measures taken by the government and duma delegations removed whatever danger lay in that direction. Army Affairs'. Telegrams have been received from every portion of the front affirming that the army can be relied upon to do its utmost to defend the country. M. Rodzianko, president of the duma, leceived a delegation from the army which declared: "All officers and soldiers will defend the duma to the last drop of their blood. They will faithfully obey the provisional government and will strike the Germans to the last man."
VON STEIN HOLDS NO FEAR OF PART AMERICA WILL PLAY
. (By Associated Press) LONDON, March 26. The possibility of American participation in the war on the side of the allies was dismissed as a minor matter by General Von Stein, Prussian minister of war, in an interview with the Berlin correspondent of the Budapest newspaper A. Zest, according to a Berlin dispatch to Reuters by way of Amsterdam. General Von Stein said he did not know whether the American fleet would support the British fleet but that there could be no question of an American continental army in the near future. He adds: "Our military situation on all fronts is good and Justifies our best hopes. . "It appears that the enemy is preparing an offensive but we shall resist even a stronger attack, not only in the front but also at home. What may happen then we do not know, but come what may, we shall confront everything imperturbantly. "Our sufferings are great and our sacrifices gigantic but it is just in these things that the greatness of a nation finds Its expression." In discussing the battle of the Somme, the minister said that the Germans had no lack of supplies but that their guns as compared with those of the enemy were insufficient.

An Evidence of Chalmers Quality
Chalmers pistons are made from one of the lightest and highest-grade metals obtainable Lynitc, a special alloy of aluminum. Most cars use heavy cast iron pistons. Much cheaper. Much reduced efficiency. 1 2 -Ounce Pistons Chalmers pistons weigh only twelve and a half ounces each. About one-third the weight of cast iron pistons. Each one of these Chalmers pistons is true to its die. All pistons are exactly equal in weight No greater variation than Y -ounce is tolerated in any of the reciprocating parts of the Chalmers.
Importance of Lightness A light piston insures smoothness and power. Lighter pistons allow other motor parts of corresponding lightness. Lynite pistons reduce the strain on the bearings 160 pounds per square inch over the cast iron piston. The wonderful smoothness of the Chalmers at all speeds is largely due to the lightness of the pistons. So also is the motor's remarkable power. Compression Power Chalmers pistons are provided with three rings of uniform tension, each threesixteenths of an inch wide. This means' better compression more power. Below the lowest ring there are oil relief holes to prevent any excess of oil from reaching the combustion chambers.
The above n what we mean by quality in Pmton. The hind of quality you need in the pietone in the emr you bay. And the hind of quality you GET in the Chalmers.

FRENCH PUSH FORWARD SLOWLY DESPITE STUBBORN RESISTANCE!
(By Associated Press) PARIS, March 26. The battle of St. Quentin continues to rage with unabated fury. The honors of the last 24 hours fighting have been with the French who are pushing forward steadily, taking all precautions that the nature of the operation calls for and in the face of desperate resistance by the Germans. The advance is necessarily slow owing to the character of the ground. St. Quentin is protected on the northwest by the Omignon river, which although only a brook like most of the Somme tributaries, runs through a broad valley full of swamps and clumps of trees which greatly increases its defensive value. To the west the approaches to the city are over a bare flat plain devoid of any natural obstacle and with but few Tillages. Here the French advance is naturally most rapid but the plain narrows and ends in a sharp point at St. Quentin. At Savy, the most favorable point, the Germans have built their main defensive line. Make Little Gain In Center The German right runs from the Omignon river at Vermand to the Holnon wood and their center is at Savy. Against these two sections the French have so far made little headway but on the German left they have carried the strong key position on the plat eaux of Essigny and Benay. This section extending from the Somme north of Serancourt to. the Oise at Vandeul, runs through a gently unrolling
country which oilers admirable fields :'t of ire to the defenders. The center region is a wide hillock 360 feet high on which stands the vil-' lage of Essigny. It is flanked on the southeast by a similar embinence near Benay and the definite , loss of this stronghold, French military critics claim, would force the whole German wing back on the Oise, expose St. Quentin to the south and Imperil the rest of the line as far as the Omignon. It is considered certain therefore, that the Germans will make determined efforts to retrieve their failure here. .
RAILWAY EARNINGS DON'T KEEP PACE
(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 26. Railway earnings have not increased with the average rise In commodity prices dur-j ing twenty years and railroad credit Is . not good because they cannot sell bonds with interest rates as high as states and municipalities, Julius Kruttschmitt, chairman of the Southern Pacific company board told today the Newlands investigating committee. If railroad rates had increased in proportion to commodity prices in 1915, he said, the additional cost to the public would have been $1,654,000,-000.
