pressure they were eXertlng against the allied lines. American aid was overcom- ng the handicap and made possible the counter blow delivered in July.
 BEGAN TO WAIVE
 The allied strength on June 1 was ,496,000. Shortly afterwards the allies reached total of 1,547OOO composed of '7S0o0 French, 515o00 British and 254. .O00 American. Americas contribution had risen from 65.0o0 in April On July 1 Germany's power had begun to wane and for the first time 1t was definitely in ferior in rifle strength with 1412,000 com pared to 1,556,OO0 for the allies.
 Up to September 1 the allied strength continued to gain despite the desperate counter attacks which was being driven forward all along the line In mid October the American strength had risen to an estimated force of 350,000 On September 1 the allied line was at it's greatest strength with 1882, 900 against Germany's 1,33e,00O.
 While the allies had shrunk in rifles to 1,485, 900 on November 1, Germany's last hope was gone as she faced that army with only S66000 bayonets.
 MISCALCULATION FATAL
 The sudden decline of the German forces beginning in June and again ap- parent in the swift drop during Octo- per was accounted for by the fact that she had drawn into the lines during the spring every available reserve, eX- pecting to smash her way to victory before winter came. These reserves were used up In the German attack and the allied assaults which followed. while the American force continued to increase In rough way the American rifle strength has represented about 20 per cent of the total American force in France continuously. This accounts for the fact that with total of more than 2,000,000 men in France on Novem- Der II, the rifle strength in 'Octob CT was estimated at around 350,000 men. A similar situation was shown in staff reports as to the total allied streng thu reckoned as ration strength," which was continuously greater than that of the German army throughout the spring and summer last year.

turning them over rapidly. In this con-
nection, since the beginning of the year
the Keystone company had made ar
rangements with two more of the great
tire producers to take all their surplus
and blemshed tires The business of
these two additional factories alone
means an increase in sales of $500 900
for the keystone company during 1919,
and the prospects are that the S2O, OOO,-
goo business which this company has
planned TO do this year will be reached
before January I, 1920.
In addition to the new stores the Key
stone company is daily opening it has
recently consummated arrangements
with one hundred department stores
from coast 70 coast to feature the Key
stone. National Speedway and Batavia
tires. which represent three unusual tire
values, being tires Of exceptional high
grade but selling for slightly less than
other high grade tires. They market the
entire output of these three fast selling
tires. which have become popular with
motorists because OF their exceptional
economy. The selling of tires in depart
ment stores Is not altogether an expert
ment. For some time department stores
In many of the leading cities have sold
tires with great success. The hundred
stores with which the keystone company
has just closed expect to attract the
motoring public to their stores by the
sale OF tires and sell them at the same
time other motoring supplies that are
commonly handled by them.
In the keystone. National Speedway

the reputation of selling the best tires at

DEMAND FOR CARS
Is Sure There VIII Not BE
Enough Automobiles for
All This Year.

There will not be cars enough TO
begin to supply the demand of the 1919
season"
The foregoing statement by Charles
w. Nash, president of the Nash Motors
Company Is based upon first hand study
OF the country's Industrial outlook as
affecting the automobile market. Mr..
Nash has just returned to the factory
at Kenosha after a trip which took him
from Chicago and New York TO Flor
ida.
At practically every point in his
itinerary, through the Carolinas. Geor-
gia, Florida, Tennessee. Kentucky and
Ohio. Mr.. Nash found reflected the same
conditions that prevailed at the Chi
Cago and New York automobile shows.
In the South. where the selling sea
son is now at its height, Mr.. Nash spent
several weeks. Nash dealers on every
hand are pressed for cars, and in spite
of the big production schedule of the
Nash factory practically all dealers will
be unable at any time during the 1919
season to get cars enough. with the
first indication of real spring Mr.. Nash
believes dealers in the northern sec
lions OF the country will find themselves
in II similar situation. Orders will far
exceed automobiles. This. he says. was
plainly indicated by the large retail
sales made at the shows in New York
Chicago, Minneapolis, Cleveland and
elsewhere.
If the automobile industry may be
regarded as barometer OF business
conditions in general there Is, according
to Mr.. Nash every indication OF sound
prosperity.

WAR DEVELOPS
WOMEN DRIVERS
They Are Becoming Important
Factors in a Booming
Market.
by r. w. WRIGHT,
Dis 'r,buter OF the Auburn Beauty

Dis 'ributer Of the Auburn Beduty-Str.
Cne OF Tire interesting phases OF de-
velopment from the great world war
has been the decided INCREASE In the
number OF women motorists. Even be-
fore the entrance of America into the
international conflict women had begun
to take their place at the wheel, but
the diversified activity Of women in
war work has made literally thousands
Of women motorists all over the country.
On perceiving their country's needs
women were quick to enlist in various
organizations whose WORT; required the
use of automobile passenger vehicles,
and even In some cases motor trucks.
Many women who before had driven cars
but little found the needs of govern
mental service kept them driving day
and night. Women in motor sarb be-
came a familiar sigh, in all large cities
and women motorists played a most
credltable and active part as drivers OF
amhulances, secret service cars, &C.
These women who placed their cars
at the disposal OF the Government have
become expert drivers and have &C.
quired an enthusiasm for the service
ability and speed Of motor transporta-
ton which makes them more than ever
before a factor in the purchase OF
motor cars.
Now that the war is over have
noticed with interest that in the Sc
lection of new models these women have
not lost their first interest in the
beauty of an automobile. Feminine de-
sire for a distinctively individual car
Is quite as potent as before. That is
one of the main reasons, believe, that
the new Auburn-SiN is finding such
universal favor with the large number
of women who are prospective pur-
chasers of new cars.
Women recognize at once that in the
Aujurn Beauty-Six they find expression
of every phase OF beauty-beauty Of
design, beauty of power. beauty of
price. They recognize, too. that the
beauty Of the Auburn is no accident
that it ia neither ultra modsh nor freak
ish. They find in the boldness OF the
lines Of the Auburn Beauty-six an ex-
precision of daring softened by expert
ence. And best OF all. they realize the
Auburn's beauty is the cloak of its
power and the mask OF its brute
strength.

Tie way the Keystone plans are now
