VOTES FOR RATIFICATION
Of ARBITRATION PACTS
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee Favors Twenty-F
Treaties.

The Senate foreign relations committee
today voted to recommend immediate
ratification of general arbitration treaties
with Great Britain. Japan and other ma
tions, twentyfour treaties in ALL These
have been pending since last summer
when their original five-year limitations
expired.
The vote in favor of the treaties was
II to 3 with four senators absent. Sena-
tors O'Gorman, democrat. New York. and
William Alden Smith. republican, Michi-
gan, voting in the negative.
Affirmative votes We're cast by Senators

ton were absent. but had sent word that
they favored re-ratihcation of the
treaties.
Only Two Provoke Argument.
The committee took up the treaties i'm
mediately after the conference with Pres
ident Wilson at the White House Monday
night. Since then. in several meetings.
the committee has discussed Them the
Great Britain and Japan. The treaty with
Great Britain proclaimed in June. 1905.
for five years was up, together with the
others in the Senate last summer. but
consideration was blocked because of fear
that its ratification would force arbitra :
ton at The Hague of the section of the
Panama canal act exempting American
coastwiSe vessels from tolls, to determine
whether it is d violation of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty directing that all ma
tions should the canal on a lust and
equitable" basis.
President Wilson's attitude on this
question is generally accredited to be
that this provision is violation of the
treaty. and Congress intends to settle
the dispute with Great Britain either by
repeating the free tolls clause or suspend
ing its operation for a term of years
pending diplomatic negotiations.
The California alien land question was
the issue involved in the Japanese treaty.
but the administration view. that this
controversy practically is at an end set
tied the minds of the majority of the
foreign relations committee i'll so far as
the general arbitration treaty with Japan

 You can imagine our feelings going back through the same country that we had previously traversed This did not make the slightest difference in the way we were treated by the inhabitants They brought us coffee and the rest of things just as before. Their one desire appeared to be to help us and they seemed to place the utmost reliance on Great Britain and our troops although they knew that our numbers were small
 They could not understand why wa were retiring. but they never seemed to nurmur. Fugitives flying from their homes were eager to give us of the food which they were carrying back for their own consumption. What struck us the whole time was the thought, If this was in England.' What an awful thing 1t would be to have an invading army in England. and all that is now going on in France.
 T will tell you just two little stories which will show you how our men have plenty of pluck and fight left in them still. l was talking to an officer of my own regiment in town yesterday. He was also wounded, and he told me about Hght on Wednesday week when one of his men lying just in front of him under feavy shell fire, turned to him and said. Sir. may I retire?' .Why?' asked the officer. Sir, replied the man. I have been lit three times
 Here is another little incident: On the very first day we were holding a canal hank, and during the night we had or dcrs to retire, having held the enemy off all day. We were to blow up the bridges. By some mishap a sergeant with 10 men were left on the wrong side of that ca nal with the Germans about 200 yards in front We could hear the Germans talk ing. The next morning when we called the roll we expressed sorrow at thinking that this sergeant and his men must have been captured. In the morning. when they found they were cut off, what did they do?

AUTOMOBILE BECOMING BIG
 FACTOR IN SALESMANSHIP

The fact that the automobile must be rated as necessity in up-to-date sales manship is growing more apparent every day.
 J. s. Ryland gives some interesting facts and figures Illustrating the useful ness of d car in calling upon the trade. He says:
 For the ralesman who has to cover considerable territory every day the au- tomobile is not a fad or a luxury-it is a necessity.
 T used to think that I was doing well when I averaged three towns q day. Now, with a roadster car I make frcm eight to 10, and do it easily.
 "A car makes opportunities for you ln one place a dealer said he might pos sihly order car of feed if a certain customer could be converted to it's use Jump in, and we'll drive over and see him. l said. This customers dairy was about two and one-half miles distant If l had been afoot. carrying q heavy sam pie case, I would never have suggested any such thing. Even if had been will ing to make the trip, the .lealer wou d have refused. But in this case he willingly climbed into my car, in 10 minutes we rea ched the farm. the prospective cus- toner was won over, and the dealer or dered the feed.
 At another place on this same trip a ciefk explained that the dealer was away on the outskirts of the town. supervising the building of his new residence If 1 had been travelling by train or trolley, 1 certainly would not have tried to reach him. But simply started up my engine, and inside of 20 minutes mad his order could relate many more instances of this nature.
 "A car relieves the salesman of the time table burden. He is his own train his own trolley. always able to go when he is ready to go. It saves loss of time. it increases efficiency and it is economical. I find that the cost of gasoline is Just about one-ha1f the amount usually paid out for railroad and trolley fares"
 Mir. Ryland is strong champion of the Metz roadster particularly because of it's gearless transmission. and has just ordered two Metz cars for the use of his head salesmen.
 Tho Metz company recently issued a cleverly Illustrated booklet addressed to the heads of sales departments, and entitled Selling by Automobile" 1t shows in many ways the benefits de- rived by the salesman from the use of the automobile. It is published for free Il st hut

DEMAND FOR CADILLAC EIGHT
 SETS NEW HIGH MARK

How intensely the entire country is
 interested in the new eight -cylinder l Cadillac is shown in the statement of
 Hubert Drennen. the local distributor:
 Even discounting the enthusiasm l shown by our entire organization it
 is evident thus early that the com l ing automobile season will be unus- ually prosperous.
 "Our new car has literally taken the
 country by storm and the demand and
 enthusiasm far surpass any that have attended the announcement of previous Cadillac models.
 "It is safe to say that if we had 5000 of the new cars ready, we could ship every one of them. Because of the new design was put under way somewhat later than usual.
 and because it has necessitated the in-
 sta,lation of much new and special ma chinery equipment our plants are not yet in the full swing of eight-cylin- | der production. We expect that in a short time. however. we will be work ing larger force than ever before"

VISITORS TO MOTOR CAR PLANT SEE MILES OF MACHINES A local automobile dealer has just re- turned to the city from visit to De- l tI oft, and in discussing motor car pros rects for the coming year, laid especial emphasis on the part to be played by Dodge Bros.

'I had heard of Dodge Bros. as the largest makers of motor ear parts in the country, but had no idea of the size of their works until went through them.

 In another department saw nearly lo0 automatic gear cutting machines. Those machines are almost human. They take plain blank of steel, and turn it into a finished gear. The guide told me that they turned out 500000 gears last year
 The whole proposition is on the same scale. It's simply tremendous When Dodge Bros car comes out this fall it will unquestionaby set a new standard of automobile values, and is therefore des- tined to be big seller.
