HITS ONLY AMERICA
Import Tax of SO 1.3 Per Cent
Causes Price Increase on
All Cars but Fords.
by Cable 70 Tho Tribune J

London, Sept. 23.-The "Daily Ex-
press" says that the 33 l-3 per cent ad
valorem import duty on all motor cars
and their parts will at present affect
only American manufacturers. Sew
eral London representatives OF French
and Italian manufacturers said:
THE new duties will not affect US at
all, since il is the same with US as with
your manufacturers. All the cars we
can make are wanted by our govern
ment and for home consumption"
Purchasers Of American cars will have
to pay the new duty except in the case
of Ford cars. 1--WE have not increased
the price of our cars at all, said the
manager of the London branch OF this
firm. "Only one-third OF each Ford
car sold in this country comes from
America, so that we have to pay duty
on only one-third of the value Of each
car. This is a small sum, even If we
Go raise the price later on. The in
crease will be very small one, prob
ably we'll under $50"
The Buick and Studeba&er cars will
be increased in price. but the actual
amount Of increase has not yet been
determined. The price OF the Overland
was raised $3.50 yesterday. This in
crease applies TO all the firms cars.

AT GALLIP0LI
Berlin Reports 10000 Re-
Inducements Arrive at
LemnOS Island.

Berlin, Sept. 23.-(By wireless to
Sayville. N. VA new army of no.
900 men has been sent to the assistance
of the Allied forces at the Dardanelles
according to the Overseas News
Agency.
This information was contained, the
news agency says, in dispatch from
Athens. The achievements for the
French and British forces are said to
have landed at Mudros, on Lemnos
Island, in the Egean Sea.
The original expeditionary force on
the Gallipoli eninsula has been
strengthened by large consignments of
troops, principally British. If the in
formation from Athens is correct, how
ever, it may mean that the new army
has been sent by Italy. Several trans
ports departed from Italian ports with
large consignments of troops last
month. They sailed under sealed or
ders. A dispatch from Rome at the
time said it was generally believed
they were to be employed for opera
tons against Turkey.
