ing Conference of Week.
FACTORY FACILITIES NEEDED
Required for Manufacture OF Army
Trucks and Acroplanes - Steel,
Fuel and Tires to Reach Undrcam-

WASHINGTON. November lit Ia
believed here tonight that before the
war is over the production and use OF
pleasure automobiles in the United
States will be entirely discontinued.
This is the opinion after weeks con-
ference between the motor makers and
the Council OF National Defense.
1t developed these predictions and
facts:
l. All steel. coal and factory facilities
Will be needed for essential war pur-
poses.
.. Military and naval demands for
fuel will send the price here TO tho
European level from 90 cents to sl.25
n gallon. with the most stringent resu-
iations OF its use
;. Tires. taxes and inability to get
spare parts will further make the cas-
ual use OF an automobile impossible.
4. Makers of pleasure cars are ADAM
doning that end of their business for
necessary government work.
The Council OF National Defense Is
asking many auto factories to devote
their energies TO making war trucks
and airplane parts. IT mas announced
that it will, If need be, commander
several plants. 1t has. however an
nounced that its action will, in tho
end. curtail auto production by 80 per
cent. Ultimately. 1t Is believed. the
production Of pleasure cars will be en-
tirely discontinued.
NATIONS STEEL SUPPLY
TO BECOME GUNS AND SHIPS
All the steel the country can pro-
ducc must be turned into guns. ships.
war trucks, tanks. etc. There Will
not only not be enough to make new
cars. but each succeeding week the pro-
duction OF spare auto parts Is decreas-
ing In Il few months 1t will be prac-
tically Impossible to obtain parts to
repair breaks.
Even il steel were available. the
automakers could not get coal TO run
their factories because only essential
manufactures will receive fuel from

SECRETARY BAKER SAYS
PER CENT COVERS ALL LOSSES |

Secretary Bakers reply follows:
My Dear Sir,-The rumors 10 which
you refer in your letter have been
called TO my attention several times
in the past few weeks. L have ig-
nored them because all OF US know
that the American people are not chill
dren to be frightened out OF the path
OF duty we have chosen, merely for
the reason that the duty is grim.
AS we take the place that is our
natural heritage In the war for world
liberty. it Is inevitable that many OF
our sens and brothers will fall. How
heavy this sacrifice may be none OF
us can forotell.
l am unable TO give you in actual
numbers the figures for which you ask
Up to about June ]. the losses of the
British eXpedi,ionnry forces IL deaths
i'll action and DEATHS from wounds were
about per cent of the total OF all the
men sent TO France since the begin
ming OF the war. X may be added that
the ratio of losses of this character
to-day, because Of improved tactics and
the swiftly mounting ;.llied superiority
In tho artillery. Is less than seven to
every 100 men.
Cordially yours.
