Reasons for Good Cheer
Are Given by Citizens

Among the visitors at tho show was
II. A. Citizens general sales manager OF
the Federal Rubber Company, who q
few weeks ago finished a trip that took
him to about all the important trade
centres of the country. On tho strength
Of what he learned on this trip he
said yesterday:
at is going to be a big year in the
automobile trade perhaps the most
active year in the history of the bust
ness. Any one who has studied the
situation from the standpoint Of popu
lar demand for cars cannot help but
voice the same opinion.
at is to be regretted that individuals
have issued more or less gloomy pre-
dictions concerning the near future OF
the industry. AS a rule. they know
nothing about the real situation. Per
haps their own particular territory is
undergoing an unusually quiet season,
which may be due to various things
such as freight congestion, pro German
influences, and so on.
"But if they were acquainted with
the real facts their pcssmistic attitude
of optimism. The automobile is dcS-
tined to play a bigger part in the
affairs of men. at war and at home,
during the next twelve months than it
has ever played in the past.
with horses and mules becoming
scarcer and scarccr, due to the ire
mendous war drain on the supply since
1914 thousands and thousands Of farm
crs are turning to motor vehicles io!
relief.
"With railway transportation facili-
ties absolutely inadequate TO accom-
modatc the requirements Of the ship
ping world. thousands Of additional
cars are being constantly placed into
overland freight distribution.
"With coal shortage seriously az
fccting intorurban ard city railway
lines. the automobile has been drafted
into transportation service On the big
gest scale Of its history.
"With countless tons Of food. equip
ment. munitions and medical relief
and so on being rushed to our men at
the front, motor vehicles are the only
practicable medium Of transportation
for that purpose. Horses are too slow
Railroads are insufficient.
"Those are only very few OF tho
reasons why the demand FOR cars has
reached such huge proportions. and yet
those requirements alone. accompanied
By normal demand for passenger
vehicles. would keep the industry
working at high speed for months t(
come.
"The automobile manufacturer:
have assurance Of the cooperation o
the governments; they face an cnor
nous demand for their product; thu
raw materials and parts situations ap
pear to be adequate for all require
ments. Therefore is it not cntrel,
logical to predict that 1918 is going t.
set new records in automobile produc
ton and sales

"My Four Years in Germany

"My Four Years in Germany"
The New York Evening Globe says:
"The screen version of Ambassador
Gerard's My Four Years in Germany,
had its first public presentation at
the Knickerbocker theatre last night.
The picture begins with the Zabern
incident and ends with the ambassa-
der asking for his passports.
"Those reading the book VIII find
that the main incidents of the story
of the intrigue and German perfidy
shown with lifelike detail. The chief
characters in this great world drama
are drawn with truth, and the story is
held together with fine touches of the
art of picture making. There are
shown numerous audiences with the
kaiser, and real German bluster is
seen in the war lords threat to the
ambassador that after this war Ger
many will stand no nonsense from the
United States
"The picture undoubtedly will have
great influence upon all those who
see it, and should be great factor in
stirring up the people Of the country
to look our war conditions sQuarely IN
the face They will have a chance to
see pictured many things that do not
greatly impress when seen merely on
"a printed page. Ambassador Gerard,
who was among those who saw, the
picture at it's first public presentation,
