Perhaps the biggest influence gov

The change is this: The buying of
an automobile has become an in

"The buyer to-day is not SO much
impressed with the initial cost of the
car as he is with a consideration of
what it will cost him to run and op-
crate his car over q given period of
time. He is buying for definite prac-
tical service and consequently he is
looking far beyond the first transac-
ton between the salesman and HIM

NONE SO READY FUR
 PEACE AS GERMANY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

AMSTERDAM. Aug. 2.-The German newspapers commenting on the begin ming of the fifth year of the war. speak with pride of Germany's shining ar mor' and resolve to break the enemy's war will" at all costs. The Lord has done great things unto us." is a ire quent quotation in the reviews.
 The Cologne Gazette says:
 We have become spare of figure, subdued in mind, hard of face. We all know privation, but Germany is an impregnable stronghold. The question is not whether, but when we shall win"
 The Frankfort Gazette says:
 At the beginning of the war we all ardently wished it might soon be over. Today, in Germany, the word peace drowns all other sounds. Of all the belligerents none is so ready for peace as we are. But our enemies still nour- ish the murderOus self-delusion that with the help of American gold and men, Germany can be forced to bow to their terms"
 The newspaper acknowledges that no peace is in sight, and for this planes the United States which would not let Germany win.' It says that Euro pean sentiment is dead, and that only America and Japan stand to win in a material sense. It appears to extract some comfort from predicting "the Union Jack will in the future float far below the Stars and Stripes"

GERMAN CHIEF OF
 STAFF IS RETIRED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 2-Admiral von Holtzendorff, chief of the German admiralty staff. has been retired for reasons of health, according to an an- nouncement by the semi official Wolff bureau of Berlin.
 Admiral Reinhardt Scherr, comman- der of the battle fleet, has been desig- mated to succeed Admiral von HoltZen- dorff
 Admiral von HoltZendorff was re- called from retirement and appointed head of the German admiralty staff in July, 1916. This apointment was re- ported at the time as being regarded in Berlin as a rebuke to the admirals concerned in the battle with the Brit ish fleet off the coast of Jutland and an official admission that the outcome was not a German victory as had been claimed
 In statement to the Cologne Ga zette July %, Admiral von HoltZendorff explained why German U-boats were not sinking American transports. He said that owing to the many points of debarkation at the disposal of the Americans, the irregular passage of the transports and the strength of the de- stroyer guards, it was inexpedient for the U-boats to turk off these harbors.

CIGARS, C|CARETTES AND TOBACCO WILL
 BE HEAVILY TAXED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Aug 2.-Heavy in creases in the present war tax on to- bacco. cigars and cigarettes were agreed to today by the house ways and means committee as part of the new sS,000, ,000,0 900 revenue bill. The tax im- poses three times the existing rates on some items of the schedule and is eX- pocted to raise approximately $940,- e00.00 in comparison with the present S16S,000,00O revenue tobacco.
 Members of the committee today said all danger of delay is over and the bill will be in form to report when the house reassembles August 19. The committee went back today to the in come surtaX paragraphs and while there was no definite action it was evident there had been heavy in- Creascs in surtaX rates.
 Consider Tax Upon Tax
 There was also some discussion of two plans to superimpose a strictly war profits tax on the excess profits tax. one of the plans being for a com plete supplemental tax, every dollar of which would be additional to the eX- cess profits revenue, and the other an alternative proposition under which the treasury would impose either the
 
 tax. but not both of them. The tax to he imposed would be that which would bring the larger revenue in each indi dual case.
 Today's action as to war taxes on tobacco was independent of the spe- cial license tax on manufacturers of tobacco in which double the present tax was imposed on the basis of the annual sales.
 Chairman Kitchin made this state ment tonight:
 The committee reached the follow ing tentative decision as to the tobacco schedule:
 New Rates on Cigars
 "On cigars weighing not more than three pounds per thousand tax in creased from the present $1 per thou sand to S2 per thousand; cigars weigh ing more than three pounds per thou sand and retailing at not more than four cents each, increased from $3 to g. per thousand; cigars retailing at moro than four cents and not more
