MORE CARS DEMANDED
 THAN ARE BEING BUILT
Even With Good Production, Follow ing War Period, Cadillac Unable
 to Supply All Wants.

The speed with which the motor car market has returned to state at least approximating pre-war conditions is commented on in an interview with E.. C. Howell, general salesmanager of the Cadillac Motor Car company.
 "Our company was able to resume pas. senger car production on reasonably large scale almost at once," MT. Howard says. I've have not yet reached the schedule we were working on before the war But the fact that we are build ing no less than 10 body styles shows that we are issuing line that is excep- tionally complete.
 .rBven so, our dealers are finding that they have more business than they can care for. This condition is not peculiar to any particular section, but Is general throughout the dealer organization.
 ''The Cadillac company, as the ffrst ex- ponent in America of the Vtype en- zine, experiences a feeling of qualification over the big part which this type played in the wining of the war

.JAPS-SURPR|SED BY AMERICAN SPEED Before the War They Did Not Believe in Military
 Strength of America
Hv As>oeiaxed prpes


 Tokio November r30--(Correspondenc of the Associated Press )-The rapidity with which the United States prepared for war and the magnitude and success of her military operations continue to draw expressions of admiration from Japanese. Generally speaking. the public in Japan regarded the United States as a peace-loving nation, which, having no bent for war, could never do much in the building up of a great army.
 The wonderful transformation of America in the war is the subject of many articles by prominent publieists. Thus, Dr. Shigeo Suyehiro, professor of Kyoto university, writes:
 'There is no disguising the fact that prior to the war the Japanese did not believe in the military strength of America, but the present titanic strug gle has demonstrated beyond all doubt the error of the Japanese estimate. The United States has become a great military power at a bound and her navy is only second to that of Great Britain. The financial resources of America are something tremendous. It is stated that America would be able to keep the war going for quarter of century at the rate of expenditure which she spent for the first year. Nor is that all.
 "The Americans are as great spirit. ually as their country is almost limit less in her resources. Just imagine that the Americans-whom some Jap anese cohsider as s1avish worshippers of Mammon-working for their country at an allowance of $1 a year; they en- dured the hardship of meatless and wheatless days in order to obtain sup ply of surplus provisions available for the allies; and no dissentient voice was raised against the proposed restric- tion of the manufacture of liquor.
 The material and spiritual sacrf- fees made by the Americans in the

other parts of the world than the United States.
 Evidently what Judge Gary has In mind as the best way to overcome this lurking danger is to cause it to be known that efficiency, zeal and in- tense interest in the welfare of the corporation, will be, recognized and will constitute the qualifications for promotion to important executive posts when the present generation, which has so wonderfully perfected the cor poration. shall have passed on. There is also apprehension that some of the leaders in our industries are not alive to modern requirements, being some what hidebound and very timid when the increase of capital or of plants is under discussion, even though it be proved that if these increases be made then the returns will far more than compensate for the outlay. Judge Gary Is represented as wondering whether even at this time the greater efficiency may not be found to be with the skilled artisans than with the ex- ecutives. And if this conjecture be true then efficiency among executives must fully match the efficiency of the artisans of else there may be danger of deterioration in the industry

 SELL MILLER TIRES
Famous Baseball Player Quits Diamond For
 Tire Game.

While there was gloom in the baseball world generally when it was announced Friday that Napoleon Lajoie, veteran ball player and second baseman extra ordinary, had retired from the game, the eventful news brought no real regrets to the sales heads of the Miller Rubber company Lajoie, when not on the dia- mond, has been selling Miller uniform times in Cleveland for sometime, It is hoped that now he can devote his whole time to the tire business.
 Although. in the announcement of his retirement from the game, the big league star simply stated that '23 years of ball pay@lg are enough for any man." those who know him best declare that his withdrawal from the game was largely due to two reasons-his wifes wish that he would quit the game, with its arduous road work, and his own liking for the tire game
 There isn't any doubt but what I.ajoie . can star in the tire business just as he starred on the diamond" declared F. c. Millhoff. general salesmanager of the Miller Rubber company, in speaking of the veterans retirement. The same square. sportsmanliSe qualities that dis tinguished him in the game and that same indomitabIe courage that made him one of the best fighting players the couh- try ever knew are splendid assets for an aggressive tire salesman. It is also rathe' a coincidence that the crack squads of Miller tire builders should be backed up in the field by one of the greatest ath- letes of all time"
 Iajoie is representing the Miller Rub- Der company out of the Cleveland branch. In conversation with a friend q few days ago he was most enthusiastic over the 1919 tire prospects and pre- dicted that during the coming year Mill Ter would set new tire sales records in Clevland. In his opinion, the sales of Miller uniform cords alone would out. rank all Fof the company's Cleveland sales during any previous year.

Senate Passes Reuenue BiH, Eliminating Taxes
 On Trucks and Parts

In passing tho revenue bill members of the Senate were convinced of the unfairness in placing a five per cent tax on trucks, tractors, trailers and parts therefor. and they were eliminat- ed, leaving proposed taxes of five per cent on the sale of passenger cars by the manufacturer and five per cent on the sale of tires, tubes, parts and ac- cessories for passenger cars. The vote was 33 to 2S.
 The bill now goes to the conference committee of the Senate and tte House.

cause of the war as evidenced in these and other things are really wonderful. showing as they do the greatness of America and her people.
 pr. Suyehiro thought that it would be the height of absurdity for Japan to pick a quarrel with such a great country without a sufficient casus belli. Japan should stand for an open door policy in the far east, but in return she should receive similar treatment in Indo- China, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. He said that America had been excluding Japanese immi- grants but he thought it very doubtful whether she was sufficiently justified in so doing. Japan, he said, should strive to have the United States cor rect her attitude, not by brute force, but

Tokio, December 1.-Two important Japanese banks contemplate establish ing branches or agencies in several in- portant cities or towns in eastern Si- beria to enlarge their business inter ests.

 dealers and users will be able to con- vince their senators and congressman of the unfairness of a tax on passenger vehicles, now that the war is over, and particularly the unfairness of a tax on parts and accessories for cars now in use and that one or both of these items will be stricken from the final bill
