Requesting that the American

1t by starting ball games any later
than usual, the following telegram
was sent today to B. B. johnson, pres
ident of the American League:
This country is at war. Will you
throw your influence on the side of
starting baseball games as usual and
not move starting time down in order
to get few more dollars at the box
office? The daylight saving law is
intended to speed UP war work and
not to give additional time for recre-
alton. Every minute OF available
time must be devoted to war gardens
and other war activities for we are
fighting the most merciless foe his
tory has ever known.

Battery Firm to Be in New
Location Within Short Time

+ Charles E. Wagner Saturday
morning stated that he expected to
get into the new battery location
about December |. Mr.. Wagner
recently signed contracts for the
handling of Exide batteries and also
Remy and Klaxon products.
The expansion movement will
give Omaha another large and prop
erly equipped battery station. In
fact, one of the best equipped sta
tons west of Chicago. 1t is Mr..
Wagner's intention to definitely es-
tablish in the minds of motorists the
connection between the battery and
the electrical system of the auto
mobile. The Overland location at
Twentieth and Harvey will be re-
modelled and such equipment in
stalled as will insure a regular fac
tory service.
The sales and show room in the
present Overland location will be
remodeled and redecorated in order
to include a reception room and
waiting room for ladies. 1t is Mr.
Wagner's plan to arrange every
convenience for women motorists
even to furnishing them with ivory
wicker furniture and individual tele-
phone service.

AUTOS,HARD TO
Get FOR SOME
Time TO COME
1t Will Take Many Months for
the Auto Business to
Readjust Itself to
Conditions.

Even though the present limita-
tons are lifted, and the builders
OF motor cars are again to build
cars in limited quantities, with the
cessation of actual fighting abroad,
il will take many months for the
motor car industry to readjust itself
so that private production can go
forward on as broad basis a. has
characertized it in times past.
This is the opinion of the leading
motor car builders of the country,
based on THE condition of the in
dustry as a recent canvass of it
has revealed.
Many of the plants building cars
a,e now occupied with war con-
tracts that will take many months
to complete even though no addi-
tlonal government work is given
them. The same is true of the
MANY parts makers over the coun-
try on which the assembling COM
panies are forced to rely for mater
ials.
Everything, therefore, points to
shortage of motor cars that will
continue for many months after tie
ban on motor car manufacture is
lifted.
Thus, it will make little difference
whether the builders OF automo-
biles are permitted to go forward
on limited basis after January |,
or whether they are given carte
blanch to build as many cars as
they can.
This, automobile dealers point
out, should convince the prospective
buyers of cars that if they can pro.
cure the cars they desire to own.
they should not put off the purchase
Of them.
THE Cole Motor Car company,
builders Of the Aero-Eight, are now
into production on their enclosed
models" says L. II. de Brown of
the De Brown Auto Sales company
These cars are being turned out
daily at the Indianapolis plant in
quantities consistent with the limit
ed production schedule set down by
the government. Dealers are be-
ing supplied, but the number that
each dealer will get is bound to be
very limited, and, in most cases, al
most the entire allotment which
each dealer anticipates getting of
these advanced models has been
covered by boni hde orders from
customers.

Willard Expert Tells
What to Do When
Battery Falls Down

when your battery will not
crank your engine your battery has
either had insufficient charging, in
sufficient filling with water, or you
have used more current than the
generator could supply to charge it,"
said Elmer Rosengren, the Willard
man.
There is also possibility that you
may have what is called a ground
or leak, which discharges the bat
terry through the wiring. First, test
your generator with an ammeter to
see if your generator is giving an
amount of current at IS to 20 miles
per hour from IS to 20 per cent in
excess of what you use for your
lamps. You should test it while the
car is running 10, IS. 20 and Is
miles per hour.
IF the current given by the gen.
orator at IS miles per hour is less
than the current used for the lights,
the generator must be adjusted. If,
after adjustment, it does not give
enough, the lights must be cut down
by using lower candlepower bulbs"

Conserving Tubes.

An excellent way of preventing the
hardening of inner tubes when they
are stored for the winter is to place
them in hot water once a month or
six weeks. They should be i'm
mersed for just couple of minutes
and should then be carefully dried
and partly inflated before being hung
up again. This treatment serves to
keep the rubber pliable and soft.

Celebration of

People Too Much Depressed

told "The Times correspondent at The

to celebrate the German advance ana
to represent it as a. glorious victory for

The rejoicing was restricted to those

The masses of people have been very
depressed, especially since the new or

pounds of bread per head because there
was nothing else to be had-no pota-

they talked of striking, but were afraid,
being greatly intimidated by the mill

America Seals Fate
Of Foe, Says Tardieu

PARIS, June 3.-Captain Andre Tar
dieu, French High Commissioner to the
United States, in talk with the cor
respondent of LA Prensa," of Buenos
Ayres, dilated on the preparations be-
ing made by the United States to take
her full part in the war.
Captain Tardeu said he gained the
knowledge during his visit to the
United States that the Americans con-
slider the war their own, and their or
ganlzation for it's conduct was the
most complete of all the belligcrents.
In 1919, he added, two million Ameri-
cans would be in France, and the Ger
mans, Notwithstanding their repatria-
tion of prisoners from Russia, never
would be able to attain such an umber
or men on their side. He said that
therefore, the future numerical supert,
ority OF the Allies was demonstrated.
IN 1919. Captain Tardieu continued.
through the intensive building nro,
gramme. the United States would have
twelve million tons of shipping. At
present two million tons already had
been launched. He said the trans
portation OF troops at present was six
times greater in volume than several
months ago, and there was less danger
experienced in conveying them across

toward Amiens he has a considerable
body of troops concentrated. The
salient in question is so deep as to
give him very much the advantage of
interior lines, and his railway COM
munications in this area are excellent
at was therefore easy for him to
concentrate at any point a force suf-
1iciently superior to make an initial
success certainty and to exploit that
success within the limits of time
necessary to the Allies to move re-
serves around their exterior line. But
in the locality concerned he will nave
to advance a considerable distance over
country of such nature that he will
have to pay heavy price for it before
he can achieve anything of a decisive
strategicai nature and, should he allow
himself to become too deeply involved
in so doubtfully profitable an opera
ton, he may be Obliged to withdraw
troops from more decisive sectors and
thus dissipate in futile ventures
strength which he ought to economize
"ln this particular theatre of action
he has proceeded SO far as to restore
to the operations the elements of
movement and mannuvre, in which the
Allied generals are probably more than
the equals of the enemy"
