 X as an indication of revoluA anary spirit on our part, which would have afforded him much con- solation. He would have lost no time in bracing up the morale Of his de- spondent people by pointing out that Americans had finally begun to crack under the strain of war and were anx- ious to overthrow the government. The average person in this country has little or no idea of the extent to which the German Foreign Office publicity experts can sway the feel ings of the Teuton populace through the medium of their newspapers. Given some such incident as the non- compliance with the gasoline ruling, the Wilhelmstrasse propagandists could make out, with little effort clear case of collapse of the Ameri- can war program. Therefore, in re- spending to the call for the conserva- ton of gasoline, autoists did only what was expected of them,-their duty Compared to the sacrifices which have been, are being, and will be made by American soldiers in the war zone, the abnegation imposed up- on themselves by automobile owners fades into insigni1cance.
 The outstanding feature of the oc- casion was the fact that compulsion was not necessary in attaining the de- sired results. The compliance to the request was voluntary and whole hearted, and that is what made 1t worthy of note.
 Fear of public opinion caused those who might otherwise have ignored the solicitation to fall in line". And the few, comparatively speaking, who were selfish enough to start on pleas ure trips despite the appeal, received well-deserved denunciation from those along the roads traversed. The writer had occasion to observe the reception accorded these "auto-slac srs' at a busy corner on one of the principal highways out of New York. Self-appointed vigilance committees stopped every car and ascertained the reason for it's being used. If the ex- planation was not satisfactory the oc- ,upants of the car were hooted at and jeered as they went on their way. It Is doubted if they will take out the ear next Sunday. To illustrate the effect of the ruling, it can be said that at that particular point, where, ordin- ariIy, some 2,00O cars pass every hour, on Sunday less than 800 were count ed between 8 a. m. and D. m. the day before yesterday. It was a re- narkable showing. Compare it with Inc results obtained in Germany, where, in order to accomplish any thing of this nature nowadays it is necessary to issue absolute commands, accompanied by the perennial "ver- ooten" and the "Strafe" provided for violations thereof.
 So long as the American public dis plays this spirit of cooperation, this willingness to forego legitimate pleas lres at the behest of the Governme ent, here need be no fears entertained for he safety of the nation.
