Moral— Sometimes you can get by diplomacy what you can’t by fighting — and then again, sometimes you can’t, if you do the fighting first. Paris— It is officially announced that the military governor has ordered all residents of the zone within action of the city’s defending forts to evacuate and destroy their houses within four days from August 31. As far as can be learned, the French troops appear to be intact, except for those losses which were inevitable in a week’s heavy fighting over a vast front. I f the British and French retire on the western Hank it is explained that they do so in order to choose their ground for fiercer resistance. Every new day has seen reinforcements mov ing up to aid the French troops engag ed on the Belgian frontier. The French operating along the in terior lines are able to shift an army corps from one part of the frontier to another swiftly, and it is said that the allies probably are in stronger position than last Sunday. The Germans, apparently owing to the increasing pressure o f Russia, seem to be throwing themselves against intrenched positions and are suffering severely. They are gaining ground and seemingly are hopeful of being able to break through before Berlin is invested. French wounded are arriving at the provincial towns.

The result on prices was a decline of a quarter on hogs and a weaker feeling in the cattle market. Sheep held firm.

Good cows sold from $5.60 to $6, and calves at $8. In the hog matket the top price was $9.25, as against a $9.50 market throughout most o f last week.

It re sults from W a r conditions. These leading tires— built of extra-fine rubber, in the same way as always— are selling today at June prices. You will find today a very wide differ ence between most tire prices and Good- years. Due to Quick Action Early in August— when war began the world’s rubber markets seemed closed to us. Itubbcr prices doubled almost over night. Men could see no way to pay for rubber abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like others— in that panic were forced to higher prices. Hut we have since gone back to prices we charged before the war, and this is how we did it: W e had men in London and Singapore when the war broke out. The larger part of the world’s rubber supply comes through there. W e cabled them to buy up the pick of the rubber. They htuiglit — before the advance— 1,500,000 pounds of tile finest rubber there. soon have in storage an almost record supply of this extra grade of rubber. And we paid about June prices. Now Inferior Grades Cost Double About the only crude rubber available now for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times, the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had been rejected. But that “off rubber” now sells for much more than we paid for the best. The results are these: Tire prices in general are far in advance of Goodyears. And manv lire makers, short of supplies, will he forced to use second-grade rubber. Be Careful Now In Goodyears we pledge you the same- grade tire as always. And that grade won for Goodyears the top place in Tiredom — the largest sale in the world. And, for the time being, our prices ¡ire the same as before the war. W e shall try to keep them there. W e accept no excessive orders, hut dealer* will he kept supplied. And we charge them, until further notice, only ante-helium prices. That means that Goodyears— the best tires built— are selling way below other tires. CO O D 0YEAR AKRON.OHIO No-Rim-Cut Tires With All-Weather Treads or Smooth Nearly ¡ill this is now on the way to us. And it means practically all of the extra- grade rubber obtainable abroad. Today we have our own men in Colom bo, Singapore and Para. Those are the world’s chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well assured of a constant sup ply, and our pick of the best that’s pro duced. W e were first on the ground. W e were quickest in action. As a result, we shall Remembers Flora Temple. Spectators at the United shoe ma chinery trial yesterday in the United States district court enjoyed the re partee between Judge Putnam and Frederic P.
