Majors Talk Inspiring.

Sitting in a dugout in the trenches the
other night heard major give an in
spring talk to the battalion officers. Half
a dozen knots glowed in crude fireplace
There were two candles at one end of the
table, the other end being in darkness.
Boards nailed to the side walls of un-
trimmed logs supported other candles, the
feeble light and the grotesque shadows
suggesting cave life. Every man in the
room stiffened as the result of that talk.
I'VE have reached the top in training >
he said. "and every man in the company
should realize 1t. If you need anything
come and tell me and I will get it for
you if / can. If do not get it do not
want to hear about 1t again, for it means
that cannot get it.
: We will have three meals a day If we
can get them. If we have to miss one
meal we will not be badly OF. and if we
miss two or three 1t will not be much
worse. We are expected to work from
midnight Of one day to midnight of the
next day. If there is any chance to
sleep between, all right: it will also be
all right If there is no chance. Let
everybody pitch in. While mud and
water must be fought. 1t may be much
worse. The hopes of the nation are
fxed on each man."

SUBMARINES SINK
FIFTEEN LARGE SHIPS

LONDON, Feb. 6-Fifteen ships of
1880 tons aggregate were the toll of
the first day of the full-hedged sub
marine warfare.
The period OF grace given by Ger
many to neutral shipping in the Bar
red zones" expired early this morn
ing and the days havoc caused by the
U-boats is believed to be indicative
of the proportions to be maintained
hereafter in Germany's campaign to
starve out England.
The vessels sunk today included
seven British, five Norwegian. one
Russian, one Swedish and one Span
ish ship.
There is nothing in the reports to
show definitely that there was loss
Of life, Grave fears are, however, en-
tertained for the bulk OF the passen-
gers on the Commonwealth and Do
minion liner Port Adelaide Of Liver
pool, Only ninety-Six OF her passen-
gers and crew are thus far reported
to have been picked up at sea. The
vessels captain was captured by the
U-boat commander.

cooperation of the entire Goodrich
organization all over the world. This
information has been received by
Dick Carroll, district manager of the
Goodrich company at 4o1 Mission
street, San Francisco.
AS the largest rubber company in
the world, with it's 125 branches,
with it's thousands of employees, with
it's accurate and nation wide road and
touring information, and it's connec-
tions everywhere through its loyal
dealers, the Goodrich company is in
better position than any other
single organization of its kind to
manufacture and facilitate the deiv-
cry of rubber goods from Akron to
any part of the world designed by
the United States authorities. Pneu-
matte tires and solid truck tires are
first thought of in connection with
what the Goodrich company is in a
position to offer our government.
But there are host of other rubber
products eagerly sought by both
army and navy in case of war, such
as rubber, clothing of all kinds, rub
Der blankets, rubber canteens, rubber
boots and shoes and, in the care of
the sick and wounded. rubber air
mattresses, rubber pillows, hot water
bottles, syringes, various kinds of
rubber bandages and host of other
rubber surgical supplies.
All of these the Goodrich company
is in a position to manufacture in
huge quantities and on minutes no.
tice. In fact the Goodrich company,
manufacturing as it does for the wide
worlds trade, already has in stock
huge quantities Of rubber supplies
of all kinds Immediately available
for soldiers and sailors.
The importance Of the rubber in.
dustry in war time is shown by the
fact thatrubber was the principle
cargo of the wonderful submarine
Deutschland on both of her return
trips to Germany last year.
