Dealers Undisturbed
By New Auto Ruling
Sales Organizations Plan to
Enter USED Car" Field
After January

The automobile industry, and partic-
ularly the selling end of the industry.
discussed little else yesterday than
the announcement by the War Indus
tries Board Friday that on and after
January /. 1919. there would probably
be no materials available for the manu-
facture of passenger cars. The an
nouncement Of the board, which, in
effect, means that following the first
OF the new year passenger car produc-
ton Will be suspended until the termi-
nation of the war, failed visibly to per-
turb the trade
Many Of the selling organizations
have already anticipated the statement
of the Industries Board and have made
arrangements to enter the field of used
car selling for the duration of the
war. They admit that profits will prob
ably be curtailed considerably. but
they consider the alternative far better
than to suspend business entirely.
Several prominent automobile sellers
yesterday declared the edict of the
War Industries Board would affect only
the sales of the business, inasmuch
as the manufacturers viii al be quite
as busy as in the past, producing motor
trucks FOR government use They add
ed that of those engaged in selling ma
chimes the only ones who might view
the new order with genuine alarm
would be the small dealers, who NAV
not have the capital necessary to es
tablish themselves in the used car,
field.

Colonel Roosevelt yesterday made
an urgent appeal for newspapers for
men in the hospitals of France during
brief chat with newspaper men who
met him at the Langdon Hotel just be-

Roosevelt, for Oyster Bay A letter

and reveal incidentally, that many of
the patients were local men.
In her letter the writer said the men
were pathetcaly eager for glimpse

from relatives and friends, nothing
seemed to cheer them more than TO
receive newspaper from their home

Colonel Roosevelt said that although
the order directing the trust company

and to be perfectly plain about it, COW
cred them with the dirty muck Of their
precautionary propaganda. in which the
hand of the BOche can easily be seen.
General Petain was right The cul-
prits were the anarchist propagandists,
whose actions, if they were not CON
certed, were at least converging But
should not the Minister of the Interior
Malvy) have given his attention to
these affairs and taken the necessary
measures to control them? When the
state of seige was declared. at the be-
ginning Of the war the direction of the
police passed into military hands, but
after September 1, 1915, on the init
alive of NJ. Malvy, the civil authori-
ties recovered charge Of the police.
Plot Was Under Way
",ln the winter OF 1917 General Nj
velle wrote to the Minister of the
Interior (Malvy) letter danouncine
the dcfeatist propaganda, calling par
ucular attention to Merrheim. Sebas-
ten Faure and Hubert Malvy called
the letter blow in the back And it
was at that very time that the mu-
TIMES were being prepared.

Headquarters had to insist strongly
before the civil police would take any
measures. 1t was hard to get any
reply from them. NJ. Leymarie, who

Leymarie was convicted with the
Bonnet Rouge gang, and in the course
OF that trial Malvy's intimacy with
a Himereyda,, editor OF the Bonnet
Rouge who killed himself or was
murdered in prison while awaiting
trial. was shown. In the Malvy trial
the link between Caillaux and Alme-
reyda was developed.
Nine. Caillaux's Guards Favored
1T should not be forgotten" said the
report of the preliminary investigation,
that Almereyda formed a Corsican
guard of honor for Nine. Callaux dur
ing her trial in 1914. Certain members
have been the objects Of some extra
ordinary favors on the part of the
Ministry of the Interior. On the other
hand some police officials were threat
cned with the loss of their positions
for having done no more than their
duty against these guards. One official
was removed from his position and
sent to Morocco"
On the recommendation of Jean Lon

stated, would produce between $780,
100000 and s500,0O00O0.
Some members urged resort to the
tariff, saying an increase in customs
duties to produce $4000o0,o0o should be
adopted but the committee has been
trying to avoid reaching into the tariff.
Hotel Tax Proposed.
The whskey and beer tax practically
has been agreed upon, but for the good
OF the government the rates arc being
withheld by the committee until the
last moment to avoid large withdraw
ais from the bonded warehouses to es-
cape taxation. In general, however, it
may be said that they will raise $780,
100000 and soft drinks $4,000 900
There is still, however, lowering over
this schedule the possibility of prohi-
bition legislation that would wipe out
revenue from liquors.
Some members of the committee arc
said to be in favor Of special tax on
MOTEL rooms where the charge is more
than $3.50, with tax on restaurant,
cafe and cabaret charges above Ger
tain fixed figure. No action, however,
has been taken along this line.
Many of the suggestions made by
the Treasury as to possible sources Of
revenue have been disregarded by the
committee, not the least interesting Of
which was proposal to impose a tax
of from 25 to IS per cent on servants
wages, the tax to be assessed against
the employer.

House Ways and Means
Committee Hard Put to
Raise $8,00O,Oo0,000
Tax on Rooms in
Hotels Suggested
Conference To Be Held
With McAdoo on Excess
Profits Levy

WASHINGTON, Aug. l0.~The House
Wavs and Means Committee tonight is
an even billion dollars short of its S.
00OOoO,OOO goal in the framing of a
tentative draft of the revenue bill. and
that amount short of the total revenue
after including all schedules so far ten
tatively adopted and the whiskey and
beer taxes, held until the last, and the
luxury schedule. which falls far short
of the s2,O00,0 900, 900 allotted it. The
committee next Monday, in what it
plans to be it's final week of framing
the measure. will be forced to devise
means to make up the billion dollars.
Chairman Kitchin of the committee
expects to confer with Secretary Nc
Adoo next week before the bill receives
its final approval, and differences be-
tween the Treasury and the committee
regarding the excess profits tax are ex
pectcd to be Strengthened out. The
Treasury desires excess profits rates in
the present law to stand, and the COM
mittee has tentatively raised them.
The Treasury view is that the m
creased rates bear too heavily on small
business concerns. The committee view
is that the present rates are entirely
too low, not sufficiently effective as to
big business, and yield considerably
less revenue than the proposed plan.
Gross Sales Tax
In considering how best to raise the
remaining billion dollars there was re-
ncwed talk among committee members
to-day of the feasibility Of gross sales
tax. 1t was calculated that l per cent
on practically every line of business
would produce between S1,500.0O0,0 900
and So 900, 900, 900. But it was held that
to apply it to every business would be
too drastic, and that few industries
only should be selected for such con-
sumption tax.
There was also talk of an excise tax
on tea, coffee and sugar A tax of 8
cents pound on sugar and coffee and
10 or Is cents pound on tea, it was

Foreign Press Bureau
The methods of "defeatism" in
France were better exhibited in the
trial of Louis j. Malvy, ex-Minister
OF the INTERIOR than in any of the
preceding trials. And at the same
time the great purpose of the campaign
was disclosed Enthusiastically. Three
ex-Premiers, Viviani, BRAND and Ribot,
testified that Malvy was forced upon
them against their wills as Minister
OF the Interior. 1t was shown that
Navy was the creature of Callaux,
that 1T was Caillaux who put him in
the government and Caillaux in whose
interests he worked, while already it
has been shown at the time CallauN
was arrested that his purpose was to
BRING France to defeat in order that
he might again become Premier.
Louis Malvy was the TOOL through
whom this was to be accomplished and
the campaign of "defeatism" was the
means to the end. One Of the first
things brought out in the trial of
Malvy was that the "defeatists" had
arrived at the point of creating mu-
TIMES in the French army before they
were stopped in their work Malvy
was accused also Of disclosing to the
enemy the plans for the abortive
French offensive on the Chemin dcs
Danes of April, 1917. This charge,
however, was dropped
Concerning the mutinies. the report
of the investigation Of Malvy said:
Vast Mutiny Plot
"The second question is that of the
military mutnies in the month Of June,
l9l'. his is not matter of a single
incident but of vast plot. 1t is UNI
denlable and not denied that disorders
have taken place in certain regiments.
General Petain called the attention of
the Minister of War to these mutnies
tie expressed his anxiety over these
actions and said that in his opinion
they had been carefully organized and
prepared. Leaflets advising the soldiers
to refuse to go to the front were dis
tributed in the reserve camps
"All the disorders presented the same
aspect. They took place from May to
the middle of June, 1917, from the
Alsne to Nerdun. 1t was an offensive
against the morale of the front.
