FOREIGNER IMPRESSED
BY VAST AUTO ROUTES
Representative of London Firm Paws
Tribute to Firestone Tires
While at Ear

The first thing which impresses me. of
course. is what all visitors to your coun-
try talk about-your vast distances"
The speaker was II. E. Smith. of John
Haddon & Co, London. He had lust
come away from the San Francisco fair
and had fresh impression of the i'm
portance given in the United States to
travel methods, which are the first thing
to impress any visitor to this country.
I'VE talk of beautiful spots abroad
but can one say that anything here is a
spot" However. there are always your
automobiles
The visitor then went on to say that
present-day activities justified the old
saying that for every condition there was
counteracting influence and that the
influence which cancels distance in this
country is the wonderful modes OF travel
"Of all these NODES" he said, the
motor car commands the greatest ad-
miration, and since have made a study
of tires, l feel that the automobile owes
much of its efficiency to Firestone Tires.

Paris. Nov 13.-Dr. Cecile L. Greil. the
American woman who was a passenger
on the Italian liner Ancona. which was
sunk in the Mediterranean by an Aus
TRAN submarine. saved herself by jump
ing from the deck into a boat many feet
below in the water.
Details of the escape of DR.. Greil and
further news of the manner in which the
Ancona was destroyed were received to-
day in a Havas News Agency dispatch
from Feryville.
DR.. Greil had a hairbreadth escape from
death and her maid was killed by one
OF the shells fired from the submarine.
While the passengers were piling into the
boats. the submarine continued to bonn
bard the ship.
Jumped from Steamers Deck.
The American woman undoubtedly owes
her life to her ability as a gymnast. She
attempted to find room in two Hfeboats.
but they were so crowded she couldn't
enter them. Then she saved herself by
jumping into a boat which had already
been launched.
According TO DR.. Greirs story. the tor
pedo which finally settled the Ancona was
not fired until the ship had been riddled
with shells.
The weather was slightly foggy at
the time Of the attack said DIR. GrieL
81 was in the dining-room. of the first
class passengers chatting with friends
when we heard the report Of a cannon
Instantly there was great excitement on
deck, officers were shouting orders and
men and women were rushing from one
side to the other.
II asked the ships doctor what was
happening. but he didn't know.
Through the fog | could see from
the deck a submarine lying about 100
yards away. She was firing heavily from
two cannon. one on the forepart of the
boat and the other at the stern.
Maid Killed as she Prayed.
Il went to my cabin TO get some papers
and there found my maid hysterical from
fear. She dropped to her knees begging
me to save her. ! started to reassure
her hut our conversation was interrupted
by a shell which entered through the
portfolio killing the girl instantly.
After putting on my hat and coat and
getting a few papers together in a vslise
| went on deck and strapped lffe belt
about me.
Boats were being lowered as rapidly as
possible, all being filled to capacity ]

told there was no room. Then ] tried to
get in a second one, with the same result.

This is not the way OF a brave soul

than this for though the mill could not

CAPTAIN OF ZEALANDIA
DENIES BRITISH REPORT
State Department Told Ship Lay
Within Three-mile Limit When
Searched at Prosreso. Mexico.

The question whether the American
ship Zealandria was in neutral waters
when searched by a party from a British
cruiser of Progreso, Mexico, is still in
doubt.
The State Department yesterday re-
ceived a report from Progreso saying
that the captain of the Zealandria de-
clared his vessel was within the three
mile limit when searched by the British.
The British consul, on the other hand.
has advised that the Zealandria was we'll
outside the three-mile limit. The State
Department has instructed the consulate
at Progreso to endeavor to determine
positively which statement is correct.
The British found nothing of suspi-
cious character on the Zealandria, and
did not attempt to seize her.
