Warn ing of the possibility ol drastic action by tlio federal government to stop ex cessive uso of automobiles for pleas ure during the war in order that the gasoline nocds of the United States and the allies may be mot is given in a statement issued by Director Van II. Manning of the bureau, of mines today. In which he asks the co-operation of automobile owners in stop ping the practice.' . Enough gasoline to care for the re quirements of America and pbrhaps that of Its allies will be saved, In the opinion of Mr. Manning, "if automo bile owners of the country will stop unnecessary and extravagant pleasure Tiding and If owners and dealers han dle this fuel in a careful and econom ical manner. "Thore miiBt bo no dilly-dallying about this supply of gasoline,' and thore won't bo," he said. c . : . "It is estimated that tho army and navy will need for tho year Hiill.OOO, 000 gallons, and thoro are two ways of obtaining It. In tho first place, the joy-rider whoso pleasure is obtained by covering many miles at high speed can volutarlly glvo this up; the man who lakes Ills family on Sunday for a no-mllo ride or more, can cut this In half; evory man who drives a nui chlno dally, can ask himself If part of his rilling cannot he obviated. "If tho people enntlnuo to be thoughtloBS and unwilling to do their patriotic bit In this rcspoct, it may be necessary for the United States to take drastic action which will stop excessive pleasure uso of all automo-1 'Mies. It Is estimated that one-halt of tho gasoline used In tho United 6tatos, ono hllllon, two hundred and fifty millions gallons, Is used in pleas ure riding. In my opinion n judicious uso of tho nutomqhllo for this purpose will cut Ibis amount of gasollno In half, which would mean tho Bavlng of moro than a million gallons each day in the year." Director Manning concludes with the statement Hint his warning dons not mean that nutoinohllo owners should luy up their cars or that any oi) should chniiRO his mind about purchasing, a car.

THE KAISER'S THREATS it A MKRTf!A hnitov l.iolf shall stand iio nonsense' from America, after the war. These threats were made by the German emperor per sonally to Ambassador Gerard, and are related by the lat ter n Ins narrative ot experiences in uerlin,- Iliey were occasioned by American protests against the destruction of American lives and property by German submarines' at a t.nlie Germany and America were, at ; peace. ' "', ' , . .These threats reflect the 'sentiment entertained toward the United States by the kaiser and the junkers at a time they were posing as friends. thru America's holding aloof, the entire might of Germany secure a ransom to reimburse war tor might is right to ' The'organized German propaganda in America is being carried on vigorously. It is now taking the form of prema ture peace talk and obstruction to military service and to efficient prosecution of the war. It seeks to win for Ger many ,a peace that will enable Germany to profit by the war. '.', ;' Germany seeks peace the peace of the gunman, the gangster and the bandit. Iaving exploited, terrorized and pillaged the country, niasacredpeac'eable citizens and officers of the law, seeing extermination in sight, lte offers, to compromise with victims, providing a portion of the plunder is retained and immunity given from punish ment. Humanity cannot tolerate such a peace, which puts a premium upon crime, for such a settlement would over throw civilization. The guilty, must make restitution as far as possible and be penalized for crime. , The proT0qri::an La Foljette . has introduced a peace resolution in the senate. The pro-German press, led by Hearst, is busy shouting that Germany is invincible. Pro German pacifists are holding meetings thruoiit . the, coun-try-demanding the repeal of the conscription law, the im peachment of the president and peace- with Germany. Strikes are being fostered and in numerous other ways the effort to hamstring America before she gets into action is under way, managed with customary German efficiency. 'As regards the military situation, there is no cause for pessimism. Had it not been for the Russian collapse, the war would have ended this year.' Even if Russia does not recover sufficiently for an effective offensive, the War cannot last over another year, for Germany is on the verge of exhaustion, in man power, in resources, in armament, in finance and, in food and there can be no, replenishment. Neither is Germany invincible. .".Juice the first few weeks of the war, every German offensive in the west has failed and Germany lias steiulilyjost ground and men and guns', and her armies have as steadily deteriorated. Frank Simonds. the war expert, of the New York Trib une and Review of Reviews, was a year ot taiiure tor the. allies, on account ot the Kus sian collapse, has been widely quoted by the pro-German press, makes this reply: In my judgment the end of the campaign of 10 IS will see Germany de cisively beaten, and 1 do not think the In that tlmo. . It seems to ino, looking all the evidence fairly in the face, that Ger- mnny call escapo declslvo defeat only if I bellevo ovcry Amorfcan should be on being waged In this country to prevent that campaign. Is it not significant that every German influence in the United States is working to prevail upon tills country to make such a peace proposal as will save Germany and leave hor with her power tor harm uudestroyed? K only It is left to tho soldiers I believe 1918 will be the victory year for the nations allied again.U uorinany. I believe also that the war It is the part of patriotism is left to the soldiers to settle aganda is silenced, so that autocracy may be wiped out and democracy survive, that the kaiser's power to plunge' the world in sorrow and misery stroyed and his threats against a-bornin'. , , WORLD ACCEPTANCE MONROE DOCTRINE U.
