THIRTY MILE LIMIT ON THE STATE ROADS Sound Advice Given Motorists by Officials of the Auto Club It is all wrong for motorists to think that the speed limit on country roads in all "open" territory is thirty-five miles an hour. This, and some other funny ideas about the California speed limits is getting hundreds of autoists into trouble with the law, say officials of the Auto Club of Southern California. Outside of business and residence districts, the maximum speed limit on public highways in this state at night is thirty miles per hour always, and without exception. In the day time, the limit is also thirty miles an hour, but with certain exceptions. Under the day time exception, it is lawful to travel over thirty, but not to exceed thirty-five miles an hour on an open road, where there are no intersecting highways on either side and where the motorists has a clear view ahead for 400 feet, and there is no person, vehicle or other object visible in this distance—then you can go thirty-five miles per hour. If one automobile is traveling thirty miles an hour, it is unlawful for a second automobile to overtake and pass the first automobile. It is very seldom that motorists find conditions just as prescribed by the law of "day light exceptions," and so it is very seldom that it is ever legal to travel as high as thirty-five miles an hour. Paste this in your hat, Mr. Motorist, and don't complain if you are arrested for exceeding the state speed limit, for you are supposed to know just what the club here tells you. Motorists of the state have cause for rejoicing in the completion of them are so open in their criticism of Americans as Mr. Fortescue, but the fact that they all are so free with their advice on the entrance of this country into the league of nations, treatment of the allied debts, and assistance to Europe shows that they are no true friends. It is time the American people called a halt on such proceedings and announced to the world that the leaders elected by their votes were quite capable of handling the affairs of the United States without assistance. Secretary Weeks has indicated the course that should guide the authorities throughout the United States. State and municipal officials and leaders of organized movements of all kinds everywhere should take their cue from the secretary of war. There is no room on the American lecture platform or in the columns of the American press for the dissemination of propoganda calculated to undermine the respect of our citizens for their government, and its institutions. FOR SHIP SUBSIDY Former Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, a Democrat, says his party is wrong in opposing a ship subsidy. The word "Subsidy" terrifies a lot of timid people, but Chamberlain is not of that kind. He has gone into the records and finds that the United States is sending abroad many times as much money for the use of foreign ships as it would have to pay in subsidies to maintain an American merchant marine. He recognizes the fact which many of his less intelligent or less sincere party associates do not, that it is economic folly to save at the spigot and waste at the bunhole. Because other nations can operateenceau and Sonnino and fident Wilson. He was strategist at that memorandum and everything that Greatpected from the peace her.

Paste this in your hat, Mr. Motorist, and don't complain if you are arrested for exceeding the state speed limit, for you are supposed to know just what the club here tells you. Motorists of the state have cause for rejoicing in the completion of the Guesta grade on the coast highway, as this finishes work on the road between Los Angeles and San Francisco and insures "smooth travel." The Guesta grade is located just north of San Luis Obispo, but the importance of the finished work is not local as it effects the entire motoring contingent of California. This grade has long been a sore point with autolists who have had occasion to travel up and down the coast, and now the new pavement is completed and ready for travel. Jail sentences for serious infractions of the state laws governing motor vehicles is the suggestion being made at this time by the public safety department of the Automobile Club or Southern California. Reckless auto drivers are just as guilty of public offense as pickpockets or burglars, and they should not receive any more consideration. What would people think if burglars were regularly dismissed from the courts with a small fine? This is what the club wants to know. But according to officials, 92 per cent of the motorists of this part of the state are careful drivers, and only eight per cent are reckless. The club wants to protect the majority from the misdeeds of the minority. REBUKE THE SLANDERERS Secretary of War Weeks has done a national service in uncovering the true character of one of the foreign propagandists who are infesting the United States. This gentleman, John Fortescue, president of the Royal Historical society of Great Britain, was scheduled to address the cadets at the West Point military academy on Armistice Day. The day previous Secretary Weeks directed the superintendent of the academy not to permit Mr. Fortescue to deliver his talk. The reason for the secretary's action is found in a book on "British Statesmen of the Great War." in which Mr. propagandists who are infesting the United States. This gentleman, John Fortescue, president of the Royal Historical society of Great Britain, was scheduled to address the cadets at the West Point military academy on Armistice Day. The day previous Secretary Weeks directed the superintendent of the academy not to permit Mr. Fortescue to deliver his talk. The reason for the secretary's action is found in a book on "British Statesmen of the Great War," in which Mr. Fortescue, the author, makes the following observations: "Americans esteem a good bargain, even if gained by dishonorable means, to mark the highest form of ability. The United States can not engage in any form of competition with us, from athletics to diplomacy, without using fouol play. They must win, if not by fair skill, then by pre-arranged trickery or violence; if not by open negotiations, then by garbled maps and forged documents. There is the fact, it may be unpleasant, but it can not be denied." Secretary Weeks' laconic comment was that "an author entertaining these sentiments is not considered to be a proper person to address the students of a government academy." We should say not! Neither is he a proper person to address any other group of American citizens. It is the announced purpose of Mr. Fortescue to deliver a series of lectures throughout the country, and the evil influence he would have spread among our people would have been tremendous had not Secretary Weeks shown him up in his true light at the very inception of his tour. The president of the Royal Historical society may be an exaggerated instance of the anti-American European, but, judging from the number of such individuals who are continually visiting the United States, the type must be an extensive one. Few of ANCEAU and Sonnino and former President Wilson. He was the master strategist at that memorable meeting, and everything that Great Britain expected from the peace obained for her. Four-fifths of the former German colonies became British, over 20 per cent of the German reparations were accorded to Great Britain, the secret treaty with Japan for the disposition of Shantung was recognized, and British domination of the sea was admitted. Every obstacle that opposed itself to the Lloyd George plans was overcome by shrewd diplomacy and cunning bargains. Even the premier's enemies must admit that his conduct during the war and after was first last and all the time for the interests of his country, something the cannot be said for the American leader during that trying period.
