DEALERS OPPOSE
MANU- CTURERS IN
AUTO TITLE PLAN
Conference Ends in Deadlock
Over Van Duzer
Proposal.
AGENTS SAY NEW RULE
WOULD HELP PUBLIC
Makers Fight Regulation as Addi-
tional Burden and Irregular
Procedure.

A deadlock was reached today on the
proposed new rules changing the pro-
cedure for the titling of automobiles
at a conference of representatives OF
dealers and manufacturers and traffic
officials held today before Commits
sioner Herbert B. Crosby.
With the dealer representatives TAX
ing strong position in favor of the
new method of titling and the manu-
facturers opposed, it was decided tc
put the whole matter off until July 10
when another conference will be held
The new rules were prepared by VIII
liam A. Van Duzer, who Wednesday
becomes director of the new Depart
ment of Traffic and Vehicles They
provide that the title certificate shall
originate with the manufacturer. OPP
position to this method as a burden
on the manufacturers was voiced at
the conference by r. B. English. Dis

and L. M. Cary. Baltimore manager OF
the Chevrolet Co.
Agents Favor Rules.
Richard J. Murphy, president of. the
Washington Automotive Trade ASsocia-
ton, sasid the dealers were strongly in
support of the new rules, realizing that
the automobile buyer should be given
the utmost protection in securing a
proper title The conferees were una
BILE to agree on many details for en-
forcement, and, being split also ON the
question of origination, Commissioner
Crosby decided to conduct a further
hearing. Today's conference was pri-
vate, as will be the conference on
July 10.
Delay Adoption.
The effect of todays conference will
serve to delay enforcement of the new
rules.
The manufacturers are opposed to
the new method of titling because most
other States require certificates from
the dealers. One reason, however, for
the plan to have the certificates origi-
nate from the manufacturers, it was
explained, is to provide a greater de-
gree of protection to the public.

favor of Mrs. John T. Newsom, trading

Army they could find the shipping to
carry them. He believed that the British
government would take the risk OF re-
leasing temporarily some shipping en-
gagged in carrying food and raw mate
rails if America could see her way to
provide the men. although. he said, it
could not we'll undertake the transpor-
tation of complete divisions, as not
enough men would be brought over in
this manner to justify the great risks
involved. In other words, the British
had the shipping to transport American
battalionS on condition that they would
serve in the British Armies.
The question OF drafting cur men as
individuals was mentioned, but the diff
cultieS of discipline and the total loss of
their identity were considered insupera-
BILE objections. The British really pro-,
posed two plans; one. suggested by Gen.
Robertson which contemplated that cur
battalions should go into their divisions
and be absorbed, and the other, by Field
Marshal Haig, under which they should
go in successfully until the selected
British units should become American.
Gen. Robertson said that unless we
could furnish man power to build up
their divisions there was the possibility
of the British reaching such an ex-
hauSted condition by the severe fight
ing in prospect that the allies would
have very heavy task in winning the
war.
The arguments Gen. Robertson adj
Vanced clearly indicated that the British
were playing for advantage to them

LAUDS FRANKNESS
OF PERSHING STORY
Maj. Gen. John Z. Organ
II Says Memoirs Great His
toricaI Document.

NEW YORK, February (NANA).--
"The greatest value of Gen. Pershing's
war memoirs lies In their complete
frankness," in the opinion of Maj. Gen.
John r. Organ, former commander OF
the 9th Division, the fighting New
York National Guard.
Gen. Organ, who is vice president
of the American Anyways, said he was
following the Pershing story closely.
Gen. Pershing's Job was much big
ger than being Just a general, big as
was that job of handling millions OF
men," Gen. O'Ryan said. HE had
also to be a diplomat, and in an UNI
usually straightforward way. He prac-
tically represented and stood for the
United States. = He represented not only
the American Army, but American
policy.
Didn't Appreciate Roll.
1.-THE truth Is. if there had been no
man like Pershing abroad, American
soldiers would have been mere replace
ments for the French and British. We
would have had no army of our own.
There was a period when American
soldiers didn't appreciate. the double
or triple role Pershing played. Some
felt they should have seen him more,
had more contact directly with him.
There was grumbling about this, but
only from those who had a narrow
conception of what his real role was
Discussing other aspects of Gen.
Pershing and the war, Gen. Organ said
that one interesting phase which is little
known is the conflict between the Brit
ish policy Of conducting the war and
Pershing's.
War Won in Open.
"Pershing believed in open warfare
with the rife, Gen. Organ remarked.
HE wanted to get the war out of the
trenches. OF course, he believed in
other forms of artillery, too, but he felt
that the mainstay was the rifle. The
Germans didn't use their rifles. They
relied on bombs great deal, with their
rifles leaning uselessly against their
trenches. The British policy inclined
toward this.
But Gen. Pershing was proved right
The war was finally won-in the open. .
Gen. Organ expressed the belief that
Gen. Pershing's memoirs, with the
wealth of correspondence and comment
inspired by them, gathered ultimately
together, will comprise a great his
torical document, real history of the
World War.

might be made us according to the
number of divisions we might have in
France.
Petain stopped Plane Building.
1t developed few days later in con-
versation with Gen. Petain that he had
much to do with the decision of the
minister of munitions regarding air.
planes for us. The French airplane
program at the front was then being
greatly enlarged, due to the increased
air activity on the part of the Ger
mans. 1t also appeared that after three
years and half of the war combined
aircraft production capacity of the al
lies was behind that of the Germans
Petain was afraid that his armies might
run short of planes and had inter-
Yened.
Petain realized our situation, but
said that it was necessary to consider
the needs of his aviation, which was
actually employed, before making pro-
vision for US. He thought that by the
time we should be ready to put our
troops in line the rate of production
could be increased so that we might
have our due proportion. 1t was my
contention that the French manufac-
turers should be allowed to fulfill their
Z
would be available for service with the
French armies. But Petain thought the
manufacturers had undertaken more
than they could do and that the output
should be held as available where most
needed.
Thus 1t was impossible to obtain as
surance of any fixed number of planes
until later on when the necessity for
the assistance of our aviation became
urgent.
Early in December signed an agree
ment with Lord Northcliffe of the Brit
isf Air Board that we should send 49,
600 enlisted men to England and main
tain that number In training in their
aircraft factories and Air Service sta
tons. This plan proved to be bene-
fetal to both sides, as far as carried
out, but especially to ourselves, in pro-
viding us with trained men and saving
us the necessity of establishing extra
schools for teaching them ourselves.
Due to the non-shipment of air per-
sonnet from home, we lacked 4,5O0 OF
reaching the number specified, and later
the need for line troops prevented our
completing the number.
When Gen. Robertson came for the
conference regarding the shipment of
troops for training with the British as
mentioned in my diary. we began to dis
cusS the details of the disposition TO
be made Of our forces which might be
brought over in British shipping. 1t
was found that Gen. Robertson's pro-
posal was practically the same as the
one submitted to Mr.. E. M. House
through Mr.. Lloyd George. He wanted
to bring our infantry ana machine-gun
units by battalions only and pointed
out how much more expeditiously this
would meet the shortage of men in the
British Army than to ship whole divi-
sions with all their equipment and
stores.
Asked for 10000 Americans.
He said he did not wish to interfere
with our program of building up an in
dependent army, but thought that If We
would agree to let them have as many as
100000 or 10000 men in addition to

the British forces explained their sys-
TEN, the methods of administration and
the control and direction of chaplains
features as were applicable to our
service.
Custom in our Army arising from lack
of appreciation of the usefulness OF
chaplains, had relegated them as q
class to the status of handy men who
were detailed to write up boards OF
survey or run libraries.
Asks for More Men.
In recommending the increase OF
chaplainS I sent the Secretary of War
the following cablegram January IT.
1918:
In the fulflment of its duty to the
Nation much is expected of our Army
and nothing should be left undone that
will help in keeping it in the highest
state of efficiency. I believe the per-
sonnet of the Army has never been
cellent, but to overcome entirely the
conditions found here requires fortitude
born of great moral courage and lofty
spiritual ideals.
Counting myself responsible for the
welfare of our men in every respect, 1t
is my desire to surround them with the
best influences possible In the fulfill
ment of this solemn trust, it seems wise
to request the aid of churchmen from
home. To this end it is recommended
that the number of chaplains in the
Army be increased for the war to an
average of three per regiment.
Men selected should be of the highest
character, with regulations well estab-
lished as sensible, practical, active min
isters or workers, accustomed to dealing
with young men.
This recommendation was approved
by the Secretary of War and later en-
acted into law.
Aviation questions demanded unre-
hitting attention, for in no other Serv-
ice was unpreparedneSs so evident and
SO difficult to overcome. Apparently
there was earnest effort at home but it
was too often misdirected. The manu-
facture of planes was very uncertain,
partly because of indecision as to types
and largely through inexperience in
construction. In the A. e. F. differences
OF opinion and the consequent lack of
cooperation among aviation officer;
upon whom rested the task of organiza-
ton and training caused confusion and
loss Of time.
On the part of the allies, especially
the French, lack of mechanics and de-
lay in procuring motors and mate
rial, such as spruce, had given them a
setback. Due to these conditions and
their own increased programs the
French, and also the Italians, were
unable to take more than q small pro-
portion of our 1900 flying cadets who
were on the ground and who, under
agreement, were to be instructed by
them.
About this time the contract for
planes We had made in August was for
'1ally abrogated, the French govern
ment being unable to meet its condi-
tions, due to the delay in receipt of
machine tools and raw materials from
the United States, possibility which
had been forecast in my cables to the
War Department. In its stead we later
made an agreement whereby we should
be dependent upon the allotment that
