BE PLACED UPON,
WASHINGTON1, Aug. 13. 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

THE KAISER'S THREATS

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:

Cathollo centrist party In the reichs

Germanla, announced it was satisfied
with the cabinet arrangements of Dr.
Georg Michaelis, the Imperial chan
cellor, and desired no further conces

suspected by the -progressive news

Pan-German newspapers openly boast
that a considerable part of the reichs

change of heart undor tho influence
of the German victories in the east
and now are in favor ot the socalled
Hindenburg peace.- The wing of the
centrist party represented toy the
Catholic Cologne Volks ZeZitiing Is in
open opposition to the Erzberger
peace resolution.
In connection with the discussion
regarding the probable foreign policy
under Dr. Richard von Kuehmnnn,
secretary for foreign affairs, tho Tan
