 PLEASURE CAR INCREASE
 Under the new ruling passenger au- tomobiles may henceforth be manufac- tured to the extent of 7o per cent or the annual output. Last August tho automobile industry was required to manufacture cars on basis of 50 psr cent of their annual output and were warned to get on a 100 per cent war basis by January 1, 1919 This would have meant devoting their entire plants to war or essential work. TodayS action nullifies such requirement..
 Together with the partial lifting of the ban on curtailments, the board ab- roga{ed all pledges made by whole sale and retail dealers in raw material, semifinished and finished products, other than building materials, effect ing such commodities, including pledges regarding reselling. Manufac- turers, however, will continue to give pledges as heretofore except those re- quirlng the exacting of pledges from those buying from the mfor resale.
 The priorities division of the war in dustries board, it was announced, will assist as far as possible industries Tn procuring labor, transportation, fue. and materials to enable them to get on a normal basis as rapidly as con- ditions warrant, but precedence will be given to stimulate production of "the enormous volume of materials. equipments and supplies, as shall be required for the reconstruction and habilita ton of the devastated ter ritories of Europe"
 TO GET PRECEDENCE
 Precedence also will be given food and coal production. that of oil, natural gas. textiles and clothing and miner- als, public utility requirements and to permit and stimulate intensive devel- opment of inland waterways.
 All limitations on the production of building materials, including brick, ce- ment, lime. hollow tile and lumber also were removed in connection with notifications of the restrictions on buildings and they may be delivered subject to notifications of the nom war construction programme an- nounced.
 Besides those relating to municipal and public utility building, restrictions on nonwar building lifted included those against the construction, exten- sion or repairing of all irrigation and drainage projects; construction prof. ects connected with the extension, ex- pansion or development of mines of ev- cry character connected with the pro-
 
 natural gas and the construction, alter ations or extensions of, or repairs or additions to plants engaged in produc- ing. milling, refining, preserving. re- frigeratlng, or storing food and feeds.
 PERMITS UNNECESSARY
 Schoolhouses, churches, hospitals and public buildings, costing not to exceed S25.000 also may be built without per mits. certain other buildings within this cost may be built upon approval by state councils of defense, while cer tain other buildings up to $10.00O may be constructed without license.
 Restrictions on the variety of woolen sweaters and similar articles also were lifted by the board. and it was an nounced that conservation measures as to styles and types. put into effect to preserve materials. such as those affect ing the shoe, clothing and other indus tries will be dealt with later.

Defeated Enemy Join h
 Victory Cheers Of San1mies

Paris, November Monday )-When dawn came this morning there was nc hint of the cessation of hostilities. East of the Mouse, regardless of the situation, the American Second army attacked in froce at 8 o'clock. The onslaught was preceded by a tremenduous barrage, which was returned in kind by the ene- my. For three hours the Americans swept forward, hurling themselves against the wire entanglenents.
 The German gunfire was devastating. Then at exactly one minute of Il, like a final thunder crash at the clearing of storm the guns on both sides ab- ruptly ceased.
 The silence was more startling than the deafening roar of the barrage. For a brief minute intermittent rifle fire fol- lowed then came pause, punctuated by ripping cheers from the trenches on both sides of the line.
 What followed on one sector was per haps one of the most singular events of the war. Against the sky line figures were suddenly sihouetted. They ap- peared cautiously at first, but soon growing bolder all along the line they stood upright These were Germans
 LEAP FROM TRENCHES
 The Americans were not so cautious. As the barrage died, ending in a final husky rumble in the distance from the big guns, runners went springing along the firing line. Instantly conprehending, the whole line of doughboys leaped from trenches, fox holes and shell craters, splitting the unaccustomed silence with shrill cheer The roar of voices was very like an outburst at some great col lege contest in America when a con testant scores a classic play.
 Strange to relate, the defeated enemy joined vociferously in the cheering The world war was finished.
 At one minute before Il it would have meant death to show ones self above shelter. Not more than minute after the hour the rolling plain was alive with cheering, shouting men, friend and en- emy alike. Not many minutes later Ger mans and Americans was coming along

Voluntary Censorship on Papers Withdrawn

Washington, November 12.-With- drawal of the voluntary censorship regulations under which newspapers in the United States have refrained from mentioning the movements of all mer- chant ships plying in and out of At lantic ports was announced .tonight by Secretary Daniels.
 ''The navy department" said MT. Daniels, considers that the restrictions that have been placed on publica tioll of arrivals and departures of, merchant vessels and other shipping news may now be safely removed. The depart. ment appreciates the cooperation that the press has given it in this particu- lar matter. Should occasion arise when it might become necessary to place the same restrictions on shipping news as have been placed in the past, the press will be so informed. The department does not expect that such a necessity shall arise If 1t does, we feel sure that we can expect the same thorough cooperation that previously has prevailed"

GOVERNMENT WILL
 RETAIN CONTROL.
Even if Roads Are Returned to Private Management
 U. s. Will Supervise

Washington, November 12-Winthrop M Daniels, chairman of the l. c. C., pre- dicted in an address today that railroads after the war will be operated under either entire government management and control or private management with government supervision of financing and elimination of competitive waste.
 He was speaking before the annual
 meeting of the National Association of Railway and Utility commissioners, a body of state representatives.
 Chairman Daniels expressed roubt that the present government management without ownership could be continued satisfactorily in peace times. With restoration of private management, he said, competitive waste should be elimi- mated by perpetuating the railroad ad- ministration's s plan for curtailing unnec- essary passenger train schedules on par allel roads, and hauling freight over the shortest routes, regardless of it's origin Terminal equipment facilities should be used in common, regional consolidation of parallel and competing lines should be worked out and government and re- gioral tribunals should be authorized to pass on postponed railroad security issues to determine the necessity of new lines.
 MT Daniels also declared scientific system Of cost analysis should be de- veloped to determine more accurately than at present maintainence and de- preciation costs.
 During later sessions this week the as- sociation, representing railway and util- ity commissioners from most states will consider particularly questions of the exercise of their normal functions under government management of railroads after is formally restored.

 work and that thouands of skilled labor CTS soon will be needed in all parts of the country for this work.
 Secretary Baker said today that every phase of demobilization of the army is being carefully studied by war depart ment agencies, but as yet no plans have been finally formulated. The only or ders so far issued curtailing war work deal with projects upon which work has not actually started, he said.
 The question of the number of Amer ican troops to be retained in France or elsewhere in Europe is being studied on that side, MT. Baker said, while the general staff is preparing recommenda- tions as to the number to be kept under arms in this country. The problem in Europe remains one of joint operations with the allied nations in after-the war guarding and other work to be done by the military forces and no conclusions on this point can yet be made.

PANIC POSSIBLE, GARY WARNS
Says Depression May Ac- company Readjustments
 After the War

New York. November 12.-Elbert H. Gary, head of the United States Steel corporation today warned the American people to be on their guard against "eco- homie demoralization, depression and pos- sibly panics,'' which might accompany readjustments after a world war.
 In a statement issued before he left for Washington to confer there with of- ficials regarding steps necessary to re- turn. the steel trade to a peace basis, MT. Gary cautioned the public to "ex- ercise prudence, deliberation and cour- age", as much depends upon the atti- tude and the speech of men," he added that "it is easy to precipitate a feeling of demoralization and no more difficult to develop a sentiment of confidence and serenity
 Asserting that although there would be reduction in purchases for military pur- poses which might interrupt the conduct of general business, MT. Gary declared there would still be "a normal and cer- tain volume of business. Any attempt to secure more than a proper share of this. business" he said, would impede rather than accelerate prosperity.
 If all business men recognize condi- tions and conduct their different lines oo dS to duJ uSL the question or supply anu demand on a legitimate basis, all will be benefited, and may look forward with confidence" said MT. Gary.
 The United States is the richest of all countries. If industry is protected and fostered in accordance with it's mer- 1t, the war burdens surely, even though gradually, will be lifted.
 And judging the future by the ex- perience of the last few years, there will be disposition on the part of those in authority, to assist rather to attack business effort. There will be study, reflection, friendly concern shown in re- lation to the needs and requests of en- terprise and investment. Legislation and administration will be founded on ascer- tained conditions, deficiencies and re- quirements. Both capital and labor will be protected and rewarded.
