ing line with reserves that have been
barely touched as yet; that England
is several years from exhaustion o
man strength, and will make as good
a showing in 1918 asjn any previous
year; that France has reached her
maximum, but is we'll supplied for
next year, although after that time
she will be at the end of her draw
ing power. 1t is expected that these
three armies will next spring begin
drive ION the west front against
German forces that reached their
maximum last year, and whose sup
plies of necessary war materials are
definitely known to be running low.
Italy is expected to be in position
next spring to renew her wonderful
work begun this year. During the
coming months she is to be most lib
orally supplied with coal, steel and
copper, these being her only require
ments. Austria is now more shaken
than Germany, her needs are great
er and her means of resistance less.
Given ample supplies. it is believed
Italy in another year can bring Aus
tria to her knees. and that would of
itself end the war.
The prediction is freely made that
if Kerensky' can make his promise
good, the allied victory will come by
of 1918. How much
Russia is to do next year may be
definitely known in a few months.

THE 1917 CAMPAIGN.

1t is not expected that anything of
Importance will occur on any of the
fighting fronts during the remainder
of 1917. The campaign will close
not later than Nov. L.. There will
probably be desultdry fighting after
mand first page notices in the Amer,
lean press, unless Our troops should
be engaged. In a way. 1917 has
been a disappointment for the allies,
so far as purely military operations
are concerned. 1t had been planned
for Italy. Russia, E Sla oa and
France to I'M make kef tbat }heae
were to bring the war to a close.
Russia's collapse made it impossible
to carry out this program. Italy,
England, and France aid their ut
most but Germany and Austria were
able to withdraw large bodies of
troops from the east front. and thus
hold the allies in cheek. 1t is be
lieved that Italy would undoubtedly
have been laundering at the gates
of Triest before this time had it not
been that fresh troops from the Rus
sian front were sent to relieve the
exhausted and panic stricken Aus
TRANS who were being. hclplessly
driven before the advancing Italians.
Kerensky promises that Russia
will have dependable army next
year, and if SO the experts believe
that the 1917 program will he car
ried out then, unless Germany should
meanwhile make peace. A certain
guarantee of German surrender, it
is believed, would be the building up
of great army in Russia. The ar
gument is that if Germany could not
have stood up against a united often
sive in 1917, she will be 'oss able to
do SO in 1918. Russia, therefore,
still has it in her power to bring the
war to an early close.

CARE OF TIRES
ESSENTIAL IN WINTER
Expert Gives Some Advice Which
Motorists May Find Of Value
if Practiced.

'"The proper care Of tires At the diff
ferent seasons of the year will greatly
reduce the number Of tire changes on
the road. Of all seasons no doubt win
ter is the worst and productive of the
most discomfort and ruffled feelings"
said a tire expert recently.
The bugbear of winter driving is
| tire trouble. which is caused by the
water working its way through neglect
ed cuts in the tread. where it rots the
abric and in time causes a blowout. A
careful examination of the tires in the
late autumn, filling the small tread
cuts with a rubber gun, made for the
purpose, and in taking care OF the
larger ones by vulcanizing, will great
ly lengthen the life of 4 casing.
Attention to Punctures.
"Punctures through the tread and
fabric of the casing should receive
prompt attention at this time of the
year, the life of n casing will be
shortened materially by the water find
ing it's way through the tread. Many
know that the continuous overlooking
greatly weakens the tire. However, the
first overload produces the strain,
which weakens the tire for all time
Another cause for the short life of a
casing is improper care of the rim. 1t is
surprising the deteriorating effect a
rusty rim will have on the fabric of the
tire above the bead. A rim cut develops
which will soon cause the tire to blow
out at the point weakened by the rust
Inspection Of Tube.
AT this point the tube should come
in for a share of inspection and care
The valve nut should be frightened and
all trace of sand or bumby material
soapstone and all other foreign sub
stances should be removed from the
casing. Care should be taken that flaps
are properly placed in order that there
may be no danger of pinching, particu-
larly on the spare tires when mounted
on rim, as the pinch would not be
noticed until the weight of the car was
placed on the tire.
"An inspection of the tire and tube
equipment before the Winter season
sets in. with the proper steps taken as
above outlined with the rim properly
cleaned and coat of graphite applied,
believe. will remove the necessity for
changing tires on the road"
