MOTORISTS TO SEE
AMERICA NEXT YEAR
War to Promote Touring in
United States by Those Who
Usually Go Abroad.

That the American motorist who has
been lured to Europe by the connected
main road system Of the older countries
intends to "See America" in 1915, Is
made apparent by the growing volume
of inquiries made to the national tour
ing bureaus of the American Automo-
bile Association In both Washington
and New York
While the Western ard Pacific coast
sections will appeal strongly to the

STITCH IN TIME WILL
SAVE NINE ON TIRES
Prompt Attention to Minor In.
juries Necessary to Prevent
Their Spreading.

Many motorists do not realize the i'm
portance Of prompt attention to small
cuts or injuries in their tires. 1t is
especially important. at this time Of the
year. that this warning be needed.
"a cut in the thread or cover Of the
case has a tendency to expand when
that part Of the tire Is in contact with
the road" says J. ]. Haas. manager Of
the Firestone branch here. This per-
mits mud. grit, pebbles, and other for
eign matter to lodge In the opening.
when the injured part of the tire Is
relieved Of the weight Of tho car the
foreign matter which has accumulated,
acts as a wedge and with each revolu-
ton Of the wheel this foreign matter Is
forced further and further between tho
cover and fabric, not infrequently COM
pletely separating them.
IF this separation OF the tread and
fabric Is neglected for any length Of
time 1t is often necessary to apply
new cover. If the fabric Is in very
good condition this can generally be
done In a very satisfactory manner, but
much expense and trouble can be saved
bv prompt attention when the cut Is
first made.
1T sometimes happens that a tire
having a good cover and appearing all
right from the outside fails to give long
service and the car owner is astonished
when he learns from a repair man that
it is not practical to rebuild the tire
This is often due to water working
through neglected cuts in the cover and
causing decay and disintergration of the
fabric. The fabric constitutes the real
foundation and strength of the tire.
and. therefore. it is highly important
that il be protected
Examine your tires carefully at reg
ular intervals and especially after long
trips. Tacks. glass or any other mat
ter which may have become imbedded
in the tread should be removed before
any serious damage is done Wash
away all mud to permit thorough ex-
animation Of the tire"

CHURCHMEN SAY KAISER

Protestants in Germany Exonerate
Government From Responsibility
for Bringing on Hostilities.

NEW YORK, September 2s-The Fed
eral Council Of Churches made public
last night a Communication received
from twenty-nine leading Protestant
churchmen of Germany repudiating in
behalf of German Christianity and the
German government responsibility for
the European war and fixing it upon
those who have long secretly and
cunningly been spinning web Of con-
spiracy against Germany, which now
they have flung over us in order to
strangle us therein" The communi-
cation is addressed ITO the Evangelical
Churches Abroad"
Communication Excites Surprise.
"Its warlike tone," says a statement
issued by the federal council, land Wig
orous denunciation Of Germany's op-
ponents is matter of considerable
surprise to members of the council
The communication was made public
with the following comment by the
Rev. Charles S. MacFarland. secretary
of the council:
81 do not see how a statement Of this
kind can help matters. The American
churches are endeavoring to maintain
without interruption the relations pre-
viously existing with the German
churches and with the churches of all
other nations Our attitude Is more
than of neutrality; 1t Is an attitude OF
conciliation."

hoped to shatter our advance guard
and then break through our center.

intrenched themselves and in reserve
were several Cossack detachments.

the awful shrapnel fire of the artillery,
which brought death and destruction
into their ranks, nor even the rain of
bullets from machine guns.
THE Magyars did not hesitate for a
moment, but continued to charge at our
trenches. One more minute and it
seemed as if nothing would be left of
our infantry.
"All at once the thud of hoofs and
the clatter of steel were heard, and the
Magyars were met by a whirlwind of
Cossacks. For two hours the Austrian

beating hearts the scene of terrible
carnage.
