 Tn the retreat from Mons to the Marna we have an extraordinary human experi- ment. in which several hundred thousa nd men secured little sleep during nine days and in addition made forced marches and fought one of the greatest battles in his tory
 "How, then. did these men survive nine days apparently without opportunity for sleep They did an extraordinary thing they slept while they marched! Sheer fatigue slowed down their pace to rate that would permit them to sleep while walking When they halted they fell asleep. They slept in water, and on rough ground, when suffering the bangs of hun ger and thirst. and even when severely wounded. They cared not for capture not even for death, if only they could sleep. A
 "The unvared testimony cf the soldiers was that every one at times slept on the march They passed through villages asleep. When sleep sieepened and they began to reel theyS were wakened by comrads. They slept in water. on stones in brush. or in the middle of the road as if they had suddenly fallen in death. With the ever on-coming lines of the enemy no man was safe who dropped out of the ranks. for no matter on what pretext he fell out. sleep conquered him. Asleep many were captured That the artillery men slept on horseback was evidenced by the fact that every man lost his cap.''

What Is a Pleasure Car
in Leslie's.

". H. soiduSoil III Leslie S. | The state license laws define a pleasure car as any self propelled vehicle carrv- Ing passengers. It matters not whether the passengers be the guests of the own CT or whether they be driven for hire i the vehicle carries a pleasure car license ana pays pleasure car taxes. The 4O-pas- senger sightseeing bus, in the eyes of the state, is no more a commercial vehicle than is the two or three-passenger taxi- cab The distinction is solely one of load carried; live human freight constitutes pleasure car, while carriers of all other
 merchandise" are recorded as commer- cial vehicles.
 But in some respects the privately- owned pleasure car is essentially A com | mefcial vehicle. In fact, sales of pleas ure cars have increased in such tremen- dous proportions, not because the ye- hicle is luxury but rather because it Is becoming necessity in the lives of millions of owners.
 The social call, or the trip to the thea tre .or opera, otherwise requiring the services of taxicab or street car may De classified as utiltarian uses of the privately owned pleasure car.
 Tho business mans morning ride to the office and return at night
 The commuters drive to the station.
 iAS oeliy IIidThctlIS, or SnODplng triD to the city or to the local stores The holiday or weekend visit to the old folks in the country. The vocation run to the summer camn or boarding house.
 All these are uses of the pleasure car which would otherwise require the serv- ices of some other means of convey- ance ranging in type from taxicab to railroad train or steamer. Such uses of the car are purely utilitarian
 If we thus differentate the daily use or the average pleasure car. we will dis cover some astonishing facts. If each car owner should itemize his mileage. he will probably soon realize that not more than 50 or 40 per cent of his driving is done merely because car is available The remaining 50 or 70 per cent of the cars mileage is consumed in service which would require the use of some other ve- hicle.
 Dealers would do we'll to emphas size upon their prospects this utilitarian use of the automobile.

Washington. June GA ! m $ t
every basic commodity will he in the
list Of things which may not be ex-
ported 70 neutrals who feed Germany
when the president issues his embargo
proclamation.
Neutral countries will have to get
along with about so per cent of their
normal imports from the United
States in peace times
For It's breach OF confidence as to
the plans Of the food administration
the Chicago board OF trade and like
dealers in foods may find the hand Of
the administration heavy upon them
when the fnal food control program is
announced.
These were the outstanding develop
ments today in the work of the presi-
dent and his advisors upon wartime
economics. The embargo proclama-
ton was before the cabinet at toiay's
meeting for very large part Of the
three hours session. The proclama-
ton is being delayed only for the ad-
dition of more items tn the list which
may not be exported without Il
csnse from the exports council.
Impetus was given To the new turn
of the program by reports from, Ar
gentipa showing the country's contri-
button to the worlds food supply will
be but from one-tenth TO one half OF
what II WAS last year.
The extension of the embargo list
developed through further Informal
ton as TO products which neutrals
, were making useful to Germany For
instance. cottonseed meal and cakes
| for fedderseere found TO be now taken
by Denmark. Sweden and other coun-
tries In vastly increasing quantities
This fodder is fed to the cattle OF
those countries and the resultant ex-
cess of milk and cream and butter and
cheese has been exported TO Germany
TO supply the very animal fat de-
ficiency which is admittedly one of
Germany's greatest weaknesses. II
the exports council has ita way cot
tonseed will be saved for the use OF
I the United States and the allies. The
rise in prices here of a popular cook
ing fat made largely from cottonseed
was instanced today as ample indica-
ton that this country must keep all
of the cottonseed she produces
II the new policy is adhered to. 1t
will mean a vital change in the pur-
poses Of the exports council. Origin
ally planned only to prevent susten-
anoe reaching the enemy. the work
Of the council will now be co-ordinat-
ed with the other agencies which are
seeking to aid the allies in a posi-
tive way by producing and properly
conserving every valuable food item
for our own uses
The neutrals WILL not. as at flrst re-
ported. be permitted to take from this
country the normal amount Of food
stuffs which they got in .psace times
The neutrals are not fighting: there
! fore, they should not be permitted to
have more foods than the allies them
selves The allies since the war have
had to get along on two-thirds Of
their usual supplies. therefore. the
neutrals should be treated no better.
This IL the argument which proved
successful In swinging the policy Of
the exports council.
II was made very clear by all who
