New York. Nov. 30. Belief that
Lieut. Col. Cliarlc V. Whittlesey,
medal of honor man and commander
i( the laniou "Lost Battalion," of
the Atomic Woods, planned at least
cisht days in advance, the scll-dC'
htruction executed at tea on Sunday,
Kained ground yesterday as new de
tails of his recent actions canic to
licht.
On November 18. one week after
the "unknown soldier service in
Washington, which is thought to
have added the last fatal burden to
a mind already overburdened with
melancholy recollections of the hor
rors of war, lie engaged passage to
Havana on the Toloa, from which
he disappeared 24 hours out of New
York.
At the time of booking the pas
saKC, employes of the ticket office
said he inquired as to Ehips leaving
about a week later, selected the To
loa at random and indicated that its
first stop, Havana, would serve as
well as another for his destination.
These employes said he was most
solicitous about having' a cabin in a
secluded part of the ship, studied a
plan of the vessel and chose one on
the starboard side, forward, from
which he could reach the prome
nade deck unseen.

Discussed
London. Nov.;.30.-'(By .The As
sociated Tress.) Reports - that , the
British cabinet was considering the
proposed moratorium for. Germany
were confirmed in official circles to
day. The point being discussed is;
under what conditions a moratorium
could be declared. - ' ' f..fc" ;
An immediate effect of the reports
regarding the suggested moratorium
for Germany was seen, in the im
provtment of the exchange rate on
the mark here, which' reached 960 to
the pound sterling, as compared with
1,100 yesterday.
Dr. Walter Rathenau, former Ger
man minister- of reconstruction, con
ferred last niglit ,with Sir Robert S.
Home, chancellor of the exchequer.
Sir John Bradbury, British delegate
qii the reparations 'commission, and
Baron Edgar D'Abemoii, British
ambassador to Germany, ' also at
tended the conference. The arrival
here yesterday of Dr. Rathenau was
accepted in official and banking' cir
cles as bearing upon the question of
Germany's reparations obligations.
The ; morning newspapers - give
great attention to Dr. Rathenau's
visit. The tenor of most of the com
ments suggest that it will, be easy
to bring general opinion into line
with (he view, attributed to-financial
experts, that a moratorium for: Ger
many is desirable. ' .

W.- C. Jessup, President and General Manager -of
the E. H. Hotchkiss Company, Norw5k,v
Conn., is a staunch admirer of Buick. He
tells why:
"My Model 29 Buick, purchased in 1911, has
how run 150,000 miles.
"Winter and summer, it has traveled over
every kind and condition of roadi It has gone
through miles of mud at a stretch.; It has
traveled for hours over Florida sands. It has
, plowed through snow drifts. Yet in all. these
years I have never had to get out of my car
except for tire trouble. It always keeps goings
" The same clutch, cylinders, transmission,
differential, etc., that were in the car when it
was delivered are still in perfect working order."
Mr. Jessup's account of his Buick's performance
is characteristic of the service given by Buicks
everywhere, and accounts for the overwhelming
sentiment You can always depend on Buick.
