About Anti Skids
How They Differ. Spend 81 900 900 This Year to
Make Goodyear All-Weather Treads Double Thick

Some anti-skids are simply regular
treads made rough. The GOODYEAR
All-Weather is an extra tread vul-
canized on to the regular. 1t will
cost us this year about 81, 100000
to give this double thickness on our
output Of All -Weathers.
This means more than extra wear.
1t means deep grips which remain
efficient after thousands of miles Of
service.
Serious Defects
Some anti-skids have shallow, short-Iived
projections Some have rounded edges
which fail to grip. Some center the strains
at small points in the fabric. Some cause
much vibration.

Rv L. V. B. RUCKER

NEW YORK, Sept iO.--within half an
hour after the six members Of the Anglo
French financial commission to America
had left the Red Star liner Lapland to-
day your correspondent was informed
that n the commission desired to borrow
$500, 100000 for the Allies in the United
States, the loan would be arranged
The information was authoritative, COM
ing from ono Of the leading nnanciers OF
America. He requested. however, that his
name should not be used.
The members OF the commission were
met at Quarantine by J. p. Morgan and
his partner, Henry p. Dawson. The
Americans went TO meet the Lapland on
the Morgan yacht Corsair, and shortly
after o'clock the visiting commissioners
left the liner and boarded the yacht.
which then sped up the bay.
Morgan and Dawson gave a cordial
greeting to the commissioners who are:
Baron Reading, Lord Chief Justice of
England; Sir Edward Hopkinson Holden,
managing director of the London City
and Midland Bank; Sir Henry Babbington
Smith, Basil r. Blackett, OF the British
treasury, ana OClaNe t1OnlDeIE anu bTHsl
Mallet, OF France.
Baron Reading the head OF the commits
sion, explained the mission of the bankers
as follows.
The object of the mission is to con-
suit with American bankers and others
as to the best means to be adopted for
the regulation OF exchange between New
York, London and Paris, In order that
the commerce and industries of these
countries may suffer as little as pos
sble during the course of the war. Mr..
Blackett will act as secretary, and will
give out formal statements each day con-
cerning the conferences"
The commissioners were accompanied
by their wives, and Immediately upon
landing from the Lapland they went to
the Hotel Biltmore. No conferences will
be held during the day, but tonight the
foreign bankers will meet most of the
leading bankers of New York in Mr.
Morgan's famous library.
Safety from submarines was assured

CARRANZA WILL OFFER
TO JOIN CONFERENCE,
BUT NOT WITH VILLA
Mexican First Chief, in Note to
Pan-America, Will Ask
Virtual Recognition
WOULD TAKE UP CLAIMS

WASHINGTON. Sept: tO.--General Car
rama will make counter proposal to
the invitation Of the United states and
six Latin-American countries to partioi-
pate in a peace conference. II has been
learned upon the highest authority that
his reply, which will arrive here today
or tomorrow, will reject emphatically
the invitation to send delegates to
peace conference.
But he will add that there is no reason
why his government should not send rep
resentatives to conference participated
in by the United states and other for
eign countries to discuss ANY and all
international problems affecting Mex
leo" lie will make 1t plain in his reply
that no internal Mexican problems are
to be taken up.
WOULD CONSIDER CLAIMS
The settlement OF several hundred mill
lions Of dollars worth Of claims against
the Mexican Government is the first OF
the international questions which Car
rama desires to consider. He will sug-
gest that he appoint a commission to
meet with separate commissions ap-
pointed by the United States. Spain.
France and Great Britain. These com
missions would endeavor to adjust the
claims which citizens Of the various coun-
tries hold against the Mexican Govern
ment.
Carranza will declare in his reply that
the final adjustment of these claims will
depend upon recognition of his govern
ment.
The position being taken by General
Carranza is exactly the same as the one
taken by him In June, 1914, when he was
invited to send representatives to the
peace conference at Niagara Falls. The
mediators at that time failed to realize
the Importance of beginning the adjust
ment of the claims against the Mexican
Government. 1t Is understood here today
that the pressure will be brought to bear
TO have Carranza's counter proposal ac-
cepted when the next conference of Sec
retary Lansing and envoys of the six
Latin-American republics meet.
VILLA HARD PRESSED.
Villa is hard pressed in northern Mexico
and a large part of his army Is facing
humiliation, according to dispatches TO
the State Department from its consular
representatives in Mexico. He is exxacu.
ating Torreon, while a strong force of
Carranza soldiers has attacked his out
posts at Pedro de las Colonial, east OF
that city.
Villista officials here declare Villa Is
personally in command Of his troops, and
is evacuating Torreon to take up a better
strategic position previously prepared
Carranzista reports. however. declare that
their adviccs show that Villa has lost
most OF his munitions and artillery and
will not be able to make a determined
stand at any point.
Meanwhile. the new complications with
Austria and Germany are expected to in
terfere with an immediate meeting of
the Latin-American conferees with Sec
retary Lansing. 1t will also give Car
rama what he most desires time TO de-
monstrate that he actually Is in control
of the most of Mexico and therefore
should receive recognition.

DUMBA AND BERNSTORFF
In SECRET CONFERENCE

NEW YORK. Sept. 10.-Count Johann
Won Bernstorff the German Ambassador,
and DR.. Constantin Theodor Dumba, Am
bassador from Austria-Hungary, whose
recall has been demanded by the United
States, held a secret conference this
afternoon.
During the morning the Austrian envoy
remained hidden in his hotel. but shortly
after 1870 o'clock. Count Won Bernstorff
slipped into the hotel through an under
ground passage connecting the hostelry
with the private house adjoining
The German Ambassador hurried to
Doctor Dumba's quarters. Newspaper
men attempted to follow, but were
brushed aside by two detectives who
kept close watch while the conference
was in progress.
The German Ambassador called in re-
sponse to summons from Dumba after
the latter had received an important dis
patch from Vienna. 1t was reported that
this had to do with the American note
demanding the ENJOYS recall, one rumor
being that Doctor Dumba had been in
structed to leave the United States and
had sought a conference with Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff to arrange his personal
affairs.
Count Won Hohenlohe. an attache of the
Austrian Embassy, was the man who
carried the Dumba summons to Won
Bernstorff. Within a few minutes after
he reached Won Bernstorff's hotel the two
jumped into a taxicab and were whirled
away.
Taxicabs carrying newspaper men hur-
ried in pursuit, reaching the hotel at
the same time as the Teuton diplomats.
The latter avoided the main entrance,
and hurried through the private house
next door. None was allowed to follow
them.

Continued from Pare one

him n safe conduct from the Allies 20
his native country
Diplomaticaiiy, there was no reason,
said the authorities, why Austria shoIld
take the Dumba request as anything but
a personal objection to the Ambassador
himself or refuse to continue friendly re-
lations. In view Of present strained In
tcrnationsl relations. however, u was
feared there would be no such cool-head-
ed attitude at Vienna. Especially was q
break deemed n possibility N II proved
that the Austrian envoy's activities were
not personal. but were engaged In under
his Governments orders.
GERMAN ATTACHE INVOLVED.
In view OF Austro- HunRarys close re-
lations with Germany many officials be-
lieved a break with one would mean
break with both.
Aside from the German Austrian link
the Won Papan matter possessed poten-
tialities of trouble. Ii was hoped Ann
bassador Bernstorn would explain his
subordinate's conduct satisfactorily. but
this was hoped also In Dumba's case and
the hope was disappointed.
Assuming that II was decided Won
Papen, the German military attache. too,
must be eliminated II was believed a
hint to that effect would be conveyed to
Bernstorn. The possibility was seen,
however that Bernstorff would not act
on It, in which event II was lntimated he
might become persona non gtata him
self.
Unless Austria wishes TO provoke a
more serious dispute with the United
States than the mere personality of its
Ambassador, It was conceded that Vienna
would direct his return home.
Opinion today as to the likeliest upshot
OF the matter was that Austria will recall
Dumba, but not Immediately nppoint his
successor This would leave the coun-
selor of the Austrian Embassy, Baron
Erich Zwiednek, in charge.
FURORE AMONG DIPLOMATS.
The news of the Administrators re-
quest regarding Dumba created furore
in diplomatic circles.
If Austria supports Dumba by insisting
that II was not only his right but his
duty to warn Austrian subjects against
continuing work In American war-supply
plants a crisis will be reached. In such
a case. diplomatic negotiations, thresh
ing out the old dispute with Austria over
the dual citizenship" question, or sum-
mary severance of relations between the
two countries would result.
Officias here believe, however. that the
Vienna Office did not initiate the plan TO
cripple American factories and did not.
in advance, approve Dumba's use of
Archibald as a messenger.
The request of the Vienna Foreign Of
fee for Dumba's retirement in addition
to declaring him persona non grata paves
the way for discussing with Austria the
real dispute nvolved-Austria's right to
prohibit hr subjects in this country from
certain lines OF employment.
