PETROGRAD, Sept. %

PETROGRAD, Sept. 90
That the main Russian army has
pressed on after envelopIng the Przemysl-
Jaroslaw line along the san and is mov-
ing against the chief Austrian positions
was the substance of todays War Office
statement, 1t announced that the opera
tions were of necessity slow, but that
there has not been encountered any op-
position that has required any change
in the original plan of campaign.
1t is considered certain that the real
resistance on a large scale will be en-
countered along the lines of the Cracow
Notifications. There the Austrian re-
serves have been massed and heavily
reinforced by the German landwehr corps,
which have been especially detailed for
service in Austria.
The Russian forces are moving slowly
westward through Galicia awaiting the
arrival of at least a portion of the army
Of 900, 600 that is proceeding through
Poland to the front.
FIVE FORTS DESTROYED
Five of the % forts at Jaroslaw have
been shattered by the Russian guns, but
eighteen still hold out. it was stated at
the War ONCE. The bombardmenl of
PrzemysI continues, but no breaches have
yet been made in the walls of the forts.
At the request of the Austrian com
mander at Przemysl, General Won Col
rad. an armistice of five hours was de-
clared late yesterday to permit of the
departure of the non-combatants who
wished to leave. Many decided 10 re-
main.
The forts at Przemysl are among the
strongest in the world. 1t is understood
that the garrison has supplies sufficient
to last two years.
While part of the Russian forces are
investing Przemysl and Jaroslaw the
main part Of the First and Second armies
continue their operations west of the
River San and south OF the Vistua. The
Austrisns defeated at Dobiecka have
fallen back in disorder TO Jaslo. on the
Wistok river. and the Russians nave
occupied Rzeszow.
The seizure of Rzeszow sewers railroad
communication between the Austrlans In
Jaroslsw and PFzemysl and those in
Tarnow and CraCoW. 1t is Understood
that German reinforcements are joining
the Austrians at Jaslo, and the next
great battle may be fought between the
san and Wistok Rivers in the foothills
of the Carpathians.
The combined German and Austrian
forces Will he in a dangerous position
there, as It would be possible for the
Second Russian Army to flank them by
a sudden movement along the line ex-
tending from RAINBOW 10 BaTanow.
Unless the Austro- German troops give
battle to the Russians about Jaslo, Il
would be impossible to prevent their
escape 10 CracoW, as they have a num-
ber of railroads at their service.

Goodyear Prices
1t is Folly Today to Paw More

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-
suits from War 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 very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to U.s.
Rubber 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 But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part Of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick q the rub
ber. They bought-before the advance, $780,
900 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to US.
And it means practically Ill Of the e1trargrade
rubber obtainable abroad
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the worlds
chief sources Of rubber. So we are pretty we'll
assured Of constant supply, and our pick Of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick

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 many tire makers, short Of
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
