are not constructing connected

There are Indications that the Ger

of a calihre heavier than the six
inchers north of the Aisne- A few en-
trenched batteries remain in the
Blanzy region. The Americans have
practically cleaned up the terrain be-
tween the Marine and the Vesle and
have gathere up huge piles of Ger

Brooklyn were gathered at Ebbets
Field hard by historic Old Crow hill.
They were watching a tornado Of

In point Of attendance it was far and
away the biggest of the boxing
shows given in the greater city for

The ring was pitched at the home
plate. The infield was packed with
people. The stands were filed. 1t
was cool. soft velvety night. There
fore the show may be accounted q
huge SUCCESS.

Motor Car Men
Warned Again
Industry Not Declared Non-EssentfaI.
But Must Yield to Requirements
of Governments War Needs.

Washington. Aug 16.-The recent
warning of the war industries board
to the automobile manufacturers to
get on 100 per cent war work basis
by the first of the year. If they ex-
pect to continue In business. brought
committee of twenty-five retail au
tomobile dealers to Washington today
to discover just how the situation was
10 effect their business.
After the conference the war indus
tries board made the following an
nouncement:
While no order has been issued by
the war industries board cancelling
motor car production and no definite
order of curtailment could be given
until the automobile manufacturers
had submitted inventories Of present
stocks. the board has suggested to
manufacturers of automobiles. that
they undertake to get war work. even
up to 100 per cent, II possible. by
January !, 1919. Automobile manufac-
turers have already accepted war or
ders aggregating between $500. 100000
and 5000. 900 600.
THE war industries board realizes
the Importance of continuation OF
all possible Industrial activity. SO far
as IL can be brought about without In
reference with the war program All
automobile dealers. however. should
put themselves as rapidly as possible
on a war basis. in order to he ready
for whatever curtailn3ent may become
necessary.
The war industries board has not
ciassed the automobile or any other
industry as non-esSenttal. and in de-
termining the standing and position Of
any and every industry will be guided
solely by the war requirements and the
needs, as distinguished from the wants
of the civilian population.
Tn view of the fact that the war
requirements of steel and rubber ey-
coed the supply and makes automobile
curtailment necessary. the war service
committee OF the National Automobile
Dealers association has agreed to
recommend ways and means to stop
the unnecessary use of passenger cars
and increase their utI1itarian uses"
