WILLIAMS APPOINTED DIRECTOR OF SALES
 IF K|SSEL COMPANY

The tendency of manufacturers to place the marketing of motor vehicles on a footing with other merchandise lof constant and indispensable con- sumption is indicated by the Kissel Motor Car company appointing Mir. Clifford A. Williams as director of sales.
 MT. Williams has had unusual mer- chandising experience, having served in an executive capacity in the direct ing of merchandising campaigns of a number of national successes. He is not alone a salesman, but in addition i is a keen analyst of markets and their requirements, and as such is fully equipped to render inestimable assist ance to Kissel distributors and dealers. The recognition of the motor car as necessary factor in the life of the American family is established This fact has caused the industry to grow with such speed that manufacturers have not had the opportunity to ac- lquire the larger merchandising eXper- fence that is required. As motor cars became more popular, when produc- ton caught up with and passed unso- licited demand there came into the wholesale and retail trade a need for the merchandising type of business men,
 The manufacturer was perhaps q ltrifle slow in recognizing the changed requirements which had entered his business, but the tendency in that di- jrection is strong today throughout the industry.
 Likewise the commercial vehicle has intensified within the motor car indus try the necessity for a well founded
 knowledge of merchandising principles
 The truck buyer is either a merchant
 or manufacturer and his purchase is
 inevitably based upon a far-sighted
 desire to better merchandise his own
 product.
 The successful motor car sales de
 partment must be capable of analyzine

TOLSTOI ON THE KAISER
(London Chronicle)

Have you. in your reading, come across Tolstoy's opinion of the kaiser? He called him a marrow minded, ill educated, vain man, with the ideals of a German junker." Tolstoy continued: ::
 When he says the army is to take no prisoners in China, but to slaughter everybody. he is not put in a lunatic asylum, but people shout 'Hocl.' and set sail for China to execute his com mands.'
 When these opinions were translated into German the book was seized for les majeste, and the edition was de- stroyed.

FIGHTING DURING
LAST 48 HOURS
WORST OF War
Situation Regarded by Allies
as Satisfactory - Retreat
Delayed Too Long.
tBy Associated press.)

PARIS, Aug. 31-While the center
of the eighty mile battle line was
relatively quiet, enemy resistance in
creased yesterday on both wings. He
was unable, however, to arrest the
progress of the allies. At the north
ern end, General Horne and General
Byng gained important ground for
future operations by taking Bellecourt,
the most solid position in that sector.
Last nights official British statement
admitted that British roops had been
forced to fall back to the western
outskirts of Bellecourt.
General Mangin alta cked the south
ern end of the line. The region in
which he is fighting forms an elbow
where the line running from Dunkirk
to Noyon meets line running at right
angles across France to Nancy.
This hinge" position is exception
ally strong since it is based north of
scissors on a high plateau overlook
ing the valley of the Aisne. to- the
south, and the Ailette to the north.
There are wooded ranges of hills in
this st. Gobain country which dom
mate Laon and a serious defeat here
precipNate retreat and force him to
abandon not only the line of the
Vesle but the three lines formed by
the Aisne. the Chemin des Danes and
the Ailette.
Use Best Enemy Divisions.
General Ludendorff in consequence
has thrown in the best divisions he
can muster. These are Alpine regi-
ments, Prussian guards and picked
Bavarian and Saxon units.
General Mangin has in his command
some of the finest American divisions,
together with elite French and col
onial troops. The fighting during the
last 4S hours has equalled in ferocity
anything as yet seen during the war
Nevertheless, the enemy had to
give way and the Franco-American
forces have won half the plateaus be-
tween scissors and the Coucy-leC Cha
teau. The Soissops-Coucy and the
Soissons-Anizy-le-Cha roads are
threatened and the Germans are faced
by the danger of the French getting
behind the Chemin des Danes, in
their rear.
Conservative military opinion here
views the situation with great salts
faction. 1t is felt the Germans de-
layed their retreat too long and that
they are fighting so hard and sa cri-
ficing men to gain time because the
Hindenburg line is not yet ready. In
any case that famous position is not
believed to be such a solid rampant
as it was when first made year ago.

by troops with unimpaired morale.
They still are a formidable obstacle,
but everything depends on the condi
ton they are in pd also the state of
the troops that Sill fall back into
them.

Dear Father and Mother:
l found England lovely beyond my
imagining. The whole country is care

hundred years apparently with the re-
suit that everything has a finished
look.

ingly pretty. and the women as we'll

The towns on the sea wall. the old
castles tucked about in oak forests,
and the big estates are all much diff
ferent from anything that we have.
No where can you think you are in the
States.
Now, France is different. For miles
and miles as the train rolls along the
landscape is typically American.

positions of defensive value.
The capture of Mount ST Simeon
and the crossing of the Canal Du
Nord by the French is expected to
force the Germans to retire to a new
line running from Ham to Berdincourt,
the only tenable position before the
old Hindenburg line is reached. The
canal du Nord was crossed In two
places by the French, who now threat

salient.
French and American forces under
General Mangin met with bitter re-
sistance in their advance on the pla-
teau north of scissors and the cap
ture of Cuffies and Chavigny. Be-
tween the Ailette and the Coucy-Chau-
ny road the French also occupied
Champs, Praast, Villete and the Daast
wood. Significance is attached to the
capture of a strong foothold on the
north bank of the Ailette by General
Mangin because Of its importance to
future movements.

British to withdraw from Bullecourt

is little to indicate that the Germans
have decided to make a stand. At
other points of British attack, the
Germans gave ground. Haucourt was
taken, together with several hundred
prisoners and ground was gained south

GERMAN FORCES IN RETREAT FROM LyS SECTOR
Show Your Patriotism
Don't Joy-Ride Sunday

Your patriotism will be measured
Sunday by your observance Of the
Sunday ban on gasoline.
If you have a sen in the army and
own Liberty Loan bonds, it's pretty
sure prediction that you'll not use
your automobile, for the army needs
the gas.
Every one in the city will have his
eye on the men and women who be-
lieve they cannot forego the pleasure
of using their cars one day at the re-
quest of their government.
The use of automobiles Sunday is
put up square to the consciences of
their owners. If they are patriots,
the cars will stand idle tomorrow. If
they are slackers, the cars will burn
the gasoline that the army needs.
Service stations will not sell gaso-

The positions won yesterday by the
American forces northwest of Sois-
sons, La Libetre, points out give them
n fine view along the Chemin des
DANES. The Americans now can see
the towers of the Laon Cathedral.
Advices reaching London today,
however, state that Mount st. Quen-
tin. mile and half north of Pc

British. This report would seem to
indicate that Peronne is being sur
round I'd by the British, Field Marshal
Haigs men having forged their way
across the Somme to the south OF
Peronne yesterday.
Americans In Fray.
There is hard fighting going on
north of Soissons, American and
French troops striving to capture the
high plateau that dominates the Aisne
and Aillette valleys and also endeav-
oring to force their way farther to-
ward Coucy-le- Chateau, an important
concentration point between the Oise
and Ailette. The Germans are fight

appear 10 have checked the allies for
the time being.
British successes on the Lys salient
sector have caused the Germans to
cause a retreat from the neighbor
hood of KENNEL to opposite Bethune.
The withdrawal is now progressing
rapidly.
Field Marshal Haigs men today are
attacking near Marrienes wood, be-
tween Bapaume and the river Somme
which possession is strongly held by
the enemy
While there is every evidence that
allied pressure against the German
lines from Soissons to Arras contin-
ues, the desperate attempt of the
enemy TO cover his retreat seems TO
havebrought about a virtual pause for
the moment At only two points
southeast of Arras, and northwest
and north of Peronne-have the
allied forces moved ahead.
Clery Taken BY British.
In the former sector north of the
Arras- Cambria road. the British have
occupied the St. Servins farm, close
TO the highway and have moved into
the village of Eperpigny to the north
east. This village is on the east bank
of the Sensee river and its capture
marks the passage of that small hut
important waterway at vital point.
The British official statement says
that the town of Clery which is To-
Gated on the Somme to the northwest
of Peronne. has been taken from the
Germans.

In the face OF stronger resistance
than has been encountered for several
