Paper confines itself to stating the
facts without comment, while the press
of French Switzerland admits that it
is impossible for the allies to allow
Germany to import cotton destined for
the manufacture Of explosives that
would kill their soldiers. According to
the Gazette de Thurgovie, the quantity
Of cotton demanded by Germany
amounts to $4,000 bales, representing
about $1,300,000
Naturally, everyone is anxious to
know the attitude Germany will adopt.
1t is rumored that Germany has stop
ped its shipments of coal and iron to
Switzerland. German coal. however, ar
rived here as late as yesterday, but
Belne expects every minute to receive
tl.e official notice of the suspension.
Not only do the Germans refuse to
deliver coal to certain Swiss firms, but
they insist on their clients agreeing to
refuse the byproducts of coal to GER
tain Swiss establishments which they
suspect.
At present gas manufacturers
throughout Switzerland. by means Of
circular letters, are informing factories
working for the allies that Germany
in threatening to suspend the importa-
tion of coal insists on their ceasing to
furnish coke to pro-French firms. The
Suisse Liberale writes on the subject:
What loud cries there would be in
certain papers if the allies were to use
similar methods and prohibit the sup
ply Of raw material to pro-German
firms
Here there does not seem to be any
real expectation of the execution Of
Cermany's threats. 1t is known that
the two groups of belligerent powers
are equally filled with good intentions

sents an important market that is not
to be disdained M. Miloud, a WELL
known writer in French Switzerland,
says in the Revue Universelle:
Germany is not at present in po-
sition to force US to be disloyal. 1t has
too much to risk.
"And later, if we do desire it will be
unable to paralyze our efforts toward
economic freedom. We shall thus no
longer be at her mercy, for France. as

CADILLAC EXHIBIT
 VERY ATTRACTIVE
 WITH SPLIT CHASSIS
Eight Cylinders With All Moving Parts Exhibited at Madison Square Automobile Show in New York-Other Types
 of Cadillac Motors of Former Years in Contrast

In the Cadillac booth at the automobile .sssw IS shown chassis with many DOT Mons cut away, exposing the internal construction and mechanical operation, q feature which the Cadillac company was first to inaugurate in the early days of the industry and which has been a fea- ture in every show since that time.
 This chassis is duplicate of the one which attracted so much attention at the Panama Pacific exposition, where the Cadillac was tho only motor car eX- hibited with d N-type engine.
 The body types exhibited include the seven-passenger touring car, the roadster, the Coupe, the Brougham and the Berlin.
 Lack of space makes it impossible to exhibit the entire line, which, in addition to the above, consists of five-passenger Salon, a Victoria and Limousine
 A comparison of the present chassis with that shown a year ago reveals no radical changes in mechanical prin- ciples
 This is quite in contrast with the usual. Almost invariably the automobile manu- facturer discovers after placing a new type of ear in the hands of the users that a number of changes and better lnents are needed. The opposite, how ever, proved true of the Cadillac Eight
 No shortcoming had been developed throughout the year and no reason Tor marked change ill mechanical construc- tion was made manifest by continuous everyday use in the hands of thousands upon thousands of users

And while we are at it. why not close the hotels, stop jitneys from operating, prohibit the sale of a cigar or ciga- rette on Sunday and close the old burg up tight for 24 hours out of every week? Then we would have a fine town-to leave.
 Whats the use in having five men at the city hall to run the city's busi- ness? Everybody seems to have an ambition to take hand in the affairs of Birmingham. Barber expressed sur prise when he did not see a phalanx of so-called reformers at meeting last week.
 Prohibition and reform have been used as vaulting power to coveted throne too long in Birmingham. They are both all right when man has nothing else in the fire and is sincere in his convictions. How many of these have tried to tell the commissioners how to run this city?

principally the accessibility of the en- zine and the appearance of the car. The engine remains, of course. the 90 degree eight-cylinder V-type that the Cadillac made familiar last year. The electric motCr-generator, ignition apparatus and carburetor are so mounted with relation to the cylinder blocks as to afford easy accessibility to the valves by removal of nothing more than the plases which enclose them.
 The bodies are of new and improved designs the open type with higher side lines new cowl, new hood and a higher radiator with rounded corners, all of which alterations add to the distinction of the cars appearance. The mounting of the Cadillac coat of arms, in a neat enamel design, on the front of the radi- ater is a distinguishing mark on the ear.
 Splashers are fitted to the front of the radiator and along the inside of the front end of the frame.
 New design head and side lamps are used, with tonneau lamp on the curb side, in the back of the front seat, to illuminate the step when passengers are entering or leaving the car.
 Inside the body, the driver finds the clutch and brake pedals set two inches farther forward, with the dash set for ward a corresponding distance, and the signal horn button in the center of the steering wheel The auxiliary seats in the tonneau fold neatly into recesses in the back of the front seats so that they are entirely out of the way when not in use, and do not interfere with the comfort of the tonneau passengers.

saying, A stitch in time saves nine. The principle is old as the hills, though the tire business may be comparatively new.
 Insignificant repairs, if made in time, often mean thousands of miles of serv- ice. Repair men may have to be con- suited for some repairs, but tire users can do a surprising amount of good themselves, by watching their tires, and in some cases make the actual repairs themselves.
 There are outside and inside protec- tion patches for the car owner-for emer- gency use, say on the road-and one of our Improvements that we are especially proud of is Goodyear Tire Saver Kit that contains number of first-aid appli- ances, put up neatly in canvas roll.
 We rejoice more over one car owner whose tires run 10 to 10,00O miles than over a hundred to whom we may sell tires oftener because their lack of tire care cost them many miles they were entitled to. It is pleasant to note, too that each year tire users are more alive to the possibilities and benefits of tire care-and tire savers are easier to sell.''

Four concerns in Birmingham who have decided it best not to stay open
 on Sunday to dispense gasoline, oils and tires, have tried to get the com missioners to pass an ordinance pro- hibiting the sale of these automobile accessories on Sunday. "The sweet singer of Israel, who admitted to B.. M. Allen that he was paid to sing hymns in church on Sunday, exhorted the commissioners to close all garages on Sunday and prohibit the sale of anything like oil, gasoline or tires. H. J. Posner of Blacklock and Posner Tire company, was the main agitator in the meeting before that august body known as the commissioners of Bir- mingham.
 It will be a source of deep regret to the many who have to have oil and gasoline on Sunday for their cars, to learn that the commissioners are still considering the proposed protest for the closing of the garages. It would be sad indeed, if someone of the pro- testors called a physician on the Sab
 bath who owned a machine, to answer
 call and the doctor happened to be too busy administering to the sick on Saturday night to get sufficient quantity of gasoline for Sunday. From present indications the com-
 missioners will be considering the clos ing of garages on Sunday this time next year.
