Great Activity Shown on

Rapid progress is being made IN the
campaign which the Manhattan Automo-

lessening public resentment against mo-
tor cars and motorists. That the attitude
against motorists is considered unfair IS
hest evidenced b. the number OF letters
received at the clubs headquarters. by
means Of the agitation ii is hoped TO
safeguard the reasonable and law-abld-
ing motorist against persecution and TO

BUILDS TIRE WITH
DETACHABLE TREAD
Great Advantages Claimed for
Goodyear's Latest
Idea.

The Goodyear Company has brought
out a new type Of pneumatic automo-
bile tire that possesses new features Of
great interest II consists OF a regular
tire carcass and q detachable tread
When the tire is debated the tread can
he removed easily. but when properly
inflated the two parts possess the
strength and power OF one-piece tire
This makes Il possible TO replace
either part in few moments. anywhere.
and means that practically new tire
can be obtained, il needed, at about half
tire usual cost
The tread is held firmly TO the car
cass by the imitation of the tire. A Sc
cret construction that gives the edges
Of the tread an unstretchable bead
solves the problem Of the necessary
grip. ard keeps the components safe
from invasion by water or dirt. 1t is
worthy Of note that no mechanical fast
enings OF any kind are necessary. This
means there Is nothing 10 impair the
resiliency Of the tire, or 10 add extra
weight
The new tire gives unusual protection
from punctures. The tread doesn't bear
the tube strain and is therefore less
tense than the carcass Tests prove
that sharp object cannot readily pass
through a soft medium into hard one
without being detected.
The two parts Of the tire are built
separately and TO exact measurements
and when put together they are per-

Turks Busy at Monastir.

The Constantinople correspondent Of
The Standard" sends a strange story,
reporting that the remnant Of the
Turkish army of Monastir, which has
never been precisely accounted for, is
still operating in that district. and has
captured the important town Of Ko-
rita, less than fifty miles from Mon
astir.
The statement attributed to the
Greek Premier. NJ. Venizelos. that peace
will speedily be concluded. tends to
confirm the report current in European
capitals in recent days to the same CT
feet, although there has been no evil
dence in the shape Of fresh diplomatic
movements 10 support it. The Turkish
government, however, is evidently in
dire straits for money. even attempting
to dispose OF the crown jewels and
making despairing attempts to place
treasury bonds in Turkey, Egypt and
among the Moslems in India. The OF

have applications for bonds amounting

garians have been unsuccessful in their
first operations in the latter quarter
and, according to a Sofia dispatch, the
capture of Gallipoli is the chief object
of the Bulgarian ambitions for the time
being, and no serious attempt will be
made TO force the Tchataldja lines.
The same dispatch says that the Bull
garian attack in Gallipoli is supported
by the Greek navy in the Gulf of Saros.
Fifty thousand Bulgarians were landed
along this coast last November. and 1t
may be presumed that during the
armistice this force was strengthened
by artillery.
Should the Bulgars capture the Turk
ish forts there is nothing to prevent the
Greek feet from entering the Oar

officers, it could easily defeat the in
ferior Turkish fleet, in which case Con-
stantinople would be at the mercy Of
the allies.

Confirmation of reports from Peking OF
a further hitch In the Chinese loan nego-
tlations was received by American repre-
sentatives Of the syndicate yesterday.
Some OF the objections advanced by the
French bankers were quite unexpected, IT
was said but these. the American bank
ers thought, would probably be sustained
because Of the predominance of French in
terests In the proposed loan.
II appears that Russia is to finance only
one-half of her one-sixth interest in the
loan, while the japanese participation will
be financed entirely by the Frenchmen. In
effect. France is TO supply half OF the
Russian allotment and virtually all OF
Japan's participation. For that reason, II
was said yesterday. the American British
and German bankers are willing to con-
cede some Of the claims made by the
French group in administering the distri-
button OF the loan.

Paris, Feb. 5.--The Chinese loan is
likely TO be carried through by the
group Of bankers representing the

ranged without the cooperation Of
France or Of one or two powers which
support the French view.
