DETROIT, Mich. June A.-America's
automobile metropolis has reduced It's
output OF pleasure cars fully 30 per
cent. since the United States entered

Between GO and 20 per cent. OF the
automobiles in America are manufac-

originate within a radius OF 100 miles
OF this city.

We are like gaping strangers in a
strange country as we landed in the
New York we knew so well. We had
been for an approximate six months in
France-it seemed more like six years
and had become so imbued with the

big tragedy which engulfs Europe. that
we could not at once assimilate all this

women in gloomy mourning and men
in all the uniforms OF all the Allies. A
new game among them, too; half the
population passionately begging for va
rious war funds and the other half
cheerfully trying to give as much as
the beggars.
Such a tangle OF traffic We were no
longer used to the endless streams and
currents and cross-currents OF automO-
biles for in France gasoline is precious
and civilian cars rare, and taXis a prize
only for the extra agile; and when we
drove on Fifth avenue and looked up
that beautiful long, wide. flas-futter-

triple lines OF automobiles filling the
space from curb to curb, we could only
turn to each other and laugh, out OF
