"The British Navy has not only
held the sea so that every.ship fly
ing the German flag has to dock on
dcr the waves when a British war
ship comes along," said an officer of
the British and Canadian Recruiting
Mission today, "bat the British
Army has done its full share in hold
ing the line in France and Belgium
n.nd in pushing that line back to
wards the German frontier. Today
in Flanders and France the British
and French held every prominent po
sition and tactical advantage. Today
in the entire area of the war no army
'is better fed, better clothed, better
'armed or better cared for in every
particular than the British Army,
starting with a small army poorly
equipped and with inferior, artillery
three and a half years age, the Brit
ish Army today is marching on to
new victories in Palestine end ettudB
ready in Franco and FJanders to de
liver a mighty blow in attack or to
successfully withstand the shock of
any attempt the Germans may make
to break through.
The British Army ha been on
shaken by every manifestation of
German frightf'jlness. Major Don
ald Guthrie declares that dating an
attack by German flame throwers he
has seen the British Tommies in the
trenches actually warming their
hands as the liquid fire came near.
"When the British Tommies are
holding a trench," continued Major
Guthrie, "the Germans cnnnol drive
them out The" only way-they can
get them out is to blast them out,"
The British Army now consists of
alxrat four million men, but more
men are needed to end the war
quickly. Now is the time for the
200,000 Britishers and Canadians in
the United States to spring to arms
and help beat the Kaiser.
"Why should a man wait to be
dratted?" said the British oflicor
first quoted, "when he has the glori
ous privilege of volunteering hn
sendees now t Kvery man is needed
and a steady supply of men must go
forward every week." ,
The British Tommies have become
adent in the use of a machine gun,
of American design, and their mobile!
anti-aircraft guns, mounted on big,
motor trucks, can be moved swiftly
from place to place. Many a hostile
aeroplane have they accounted for.

When there is any question of value in automobile tires
we certainly ought to have the answer.
For we have seen the inside of practically eveiy tire
made. We know how much value every manufacturer
ill ten ch to put into the tires he sells.
We know , which tires give
way first. We know their
weaknesses, their points of
strength, their capacity for
service.
We know tires as your family
doctor knows you because
it is our business, as vulcan
i.ers, to keep tires in as
1
I
good health as possible.
And the net result of all this
information of ours is our
determination to sell Good
year Tires to our customers.
We believe it will be to your
advantage to buy your tirpp
from people who fanou) tires,
from the inside out.
