To Prospective Automobile Buyers

Cadillac prices. Immediately we de
creased the price we fulfilled the eX-.
pectations of these prospective buyers
and made the way clear for them to
purchase Cadillacs immediately.
our present thought is that further
decrease in the price of Cadillac cars
cannot be made except on the basis
of unexpected and unforeseen reduc-
tons in the costs of labor and mate
rial or because of decreased costs due
to largely increased output
Some of the best authorities on la
Dor in the United States feel that
wage rates will not come down in the
very near future. and if these men are
correct then there is little likelihood
of further reduction in price of Cadil-
lac motor cars for a long time to
conc
We understand that some of our
coutemporaries have attempted to
convict us of bad faith in connection
with this price decrease. Nothing
could he further from the facts AND
every Cadillac representative should
take the trouble to explain the actual
facts to any man who seems to be ig-
norant of them

as a successful policy of the Cadillac

serve to be given a reputation Tor
business wrecking.
Nothing is more logical in our opin-
ion than the action of the Cadillac
Motor Car company toward its dis
tributors and the public during the
past few months, Immediately the
war industries board curtailed pro-
duction we increased our price. When
production is cut from seventy-tWo
per day to twenty per day, it is futile
to prophesy what will happen to costs
No one knows. Under such conditions
the increase in overhead per unit Is
beyond belief.
Immediately the war industries

(MidniehD-As result of today's

quarters the majority socialists will
retire from the oabine; and leave the
independents in full control OF the
government
The cabinet was in secret session
the greater part OF the day. The
leading indepcr sn,s in the govern
ment also were in conference and this
gave rise to a rumor that Hugo Haase.
the leader OF the independents. would
be called upon to organize a new
government
The present German government, or
council OF peoples commissioners is
made up of six members, three ma jor-
i,y socialists and three independent
socialists, sometimes called minority
socialists.
The majority socialist members are
Ebert, Scheidemann and Landsberg,
The independents are Haase, Dit
mann, and Bar,h During the war the
majority socialists supported the gov
ernment, while the independents were
in opposition, Dittmann being i'm
prisoned on charge OF treason.
The Spartacus group OF DR.. Karl
Liebknecht formerly was allied with
the independents. The Haase group
might be called radicals and the Lieb-
knecht ultra-radicals, The Liebknechi
followers are opposed to both the ma
