Making Total Reductions 45SS In Two Years
To Give Always The Most For The Money

That is because we have the larg
est output. We have a new fac
tory, modernly equipped. And we
have worldwide facilities for buy
ing rubber, of our extra grade, at
the lowest market price.
For a long, long time most tires
have sold much above Goodyear
prices. Some have sold one-third
higher. A few have sold lower, as
some always will, because of less
rubber, less quality. But we can
and do, under all conditions, give
more for the money than any rival
tire can offer.

We are glad again-for the
third time in two years-to an
nounce a big reduction on Good
year tires, effective February LIST.
Goodyear policy on price is to
give the utmost in a tire at the
lowest possible profit. Our re-
auctions are made to that end,
without ever reducing the quality.
That always means, with our
matchless output, more for the
money than any other maker can
give.

REALLY IS CRUISER
Latest German Submarine is
Formidable Fighter.
Carries 4-Inch Quick Firing Gun Which

VIII Penetrate Ten inches Of
Iron at Close Range.

London.-That the latest German
submarines are practically submerged
| light cruisers and carry guns which
make them fully as formidable in Of
fensive as vessels of the latter class,
is the statement made by leading
English authority on naval matters,
When the war broke out" he said,
Germany, like the other sea powers,
had certain number of submarines
that carried guns. These, however,
were small weapons. The caliber of
the piece and the way in which it was
mounted made it ineffective for such
purposes as sinking a ship, Really,
these submarine weapons, whether
placed outside the boat or on a rising
carriage, were little more than expert
| ments
Germany is now using much larger
submarines, and these are armed with
a four-inch quick-fring gun, which
bears about the same relation to the
earlier submarine weapons that the IT.
inch howitzer does to the ordinary
field pieces.
In addition to introducing this big
gun into their submarines, the Ger
mans have mounted 1t in a very in
genious manner Gun platform, etc.
are carried snugly inside the boat
while she is cruising, and the method
of bringing it into action is very quick
and efficient. Two men take their
seats on the elevator platform beside
the gun. A pull on lever and the
platform shoots up, carrying the gun
with 1t.
"As 1t rises from the boat the gun
lifts off hatchway, which auto
matically forms protective shield for
the gun and the men who work it.
One Of these men trains the weapon
around to whatever direction Is re-
quired, while the other elevates or de-
presses, and also fires 1t. Another
pull of the lever, and down drops the
gun again, the hatchway closes auto
matically above 1t, and the submarine
is ready to dive.
For attacking merchant vessels
this four-inch gun comes much cheap
er than torpedoes would, and in some
ways 1t is more effective. A torpedo
costs thousands of dollars, and it may
miss its mark. Scores of German tor
pedoes have done so. But a round for
four-inch gun costs little and If the
first shot fails second can be sent
quickly after it.
Besides this. the gun has long
range. 1t fires 31-pound projectile
with sufficient velocity to penetrate ten
inches of iron at close range. which
means that the shell will carry long
way, and 1t is more difficult for a ship
to escape from submarine thus
armed than from one using torpedoes
only, particularly so as the Germans
have adopted for use in their sub
marines torpedo that has a short
range, but carries an unusually pow.
erful charge of explosive"

EDITORS NOTE. The Brit

cation the following personal
experience story of the latest
Zeppelin raid over London by
William G. Shepherd, United
Press staff correspondent. It: is
the first story to be thus ap-
proved. 1t is also the first account
that gives complete insight in
to the British public's behavior
under the circumstances. It
confirms the reports of the
United, Press Thursday that
Wednesday nights air raids
were over the heart of London,
although Shepherd is not per-
mitted to say where he was nor

Little white-gloved hands clap

Dirty, bloody, battle-mad soldiers

these crowds. If the men up there

He's lying and knows it.
Zeppelin, Zeppelin!"
The whisper runs through the au-
dience. If you know what was trans
piring in the street you'd be out in
stead of waiting for the last act.
Such a scene is being enacted out
there as the old town of London, in
all it's early history, never has be-
held. The curtain goes down. You
file out of the theater into crowded
street. Traffic is at standstill.
Thousands stand gazing into the
skies.
There is the climax to the 20th
century.
=. Zeppelin Floats Above.
Among the autumn stars floats a
long gaunt Zeppelin. 1t is dull yell
low, the color of the harvest moon.
The long fingers of searchlight
reaching up from roof are touching
all sides of the great death monster
with their tips. Great booming
sounds shake the city.
They are Zeppelin bombs falling
-killing-burning:
Lesser noises of shooting are near
er at hand, the noises of aerial guns
sending shrapnel into the sky.
Don't Light Matches.
''For Gods sake, don't do that"
says one man to another, who has
just struck a match to light a Gig
arctic.
Whispers, low cries run all along
the streets. ...

London, why ours particularly, he

French stand gazing up. They are
in walters clothes and have rushed
out of one of the most luxurious ho-
tells in the world.
"The DEVILS" exclaims one. "We've
got tit can't get away. There's
shrapnel all around it,
"Oh, my neck" said a pretty girl
in evening wraps. "I can't look up
a minute more" But she does. !.
Beautiful Women Watch.
All about you are beautifully garb-

clothes.
"'Ahs," long drawn out, exclama-
tions of admiration like the sounds
made by American crowds watching
fireworks, greet the brilliantly white
flashes of shrapnel. I
Suddenly you realize that the big
