entitled.
1--WE demand the unconditional

ing. regardless OF the price of cop

Washington, Aug. 21--Lord Cecli's
statement in the British parliament
that the entente governments would
hold conference before replying to
Pope Benedict's peace proposals. is
understood at the state department
as meaning that the governments
will exchange views, not that there
is to be a gathering Of premiers or
foreign ministers for formal con-
ference.
1t Is believed that the necessary
measure Of cooperation between the
nations at war with Grmany can be
secured through cabled exchanges Of
diplomatic representatives and the
foreign secretaries at the different
capitals.
II was said today that these ex-
changes would begin very soon.
Strong objection Is made at present
by officials Of the administration to
forecast the nature OF the reply that
will be made by President Wilson.
But 1t is not denied that nothing has
been presented by the Pope to war.

ONLY ONE AUTO IN
GERMANY HAS The
PNEUMATIC TIRES
This Is the Kaiser S. Others
Use ALI Kinds Of
MakeShifts

The only automobile in Germany run
ming on pneumatic tires is Kaiser Viii
helm s. Even the Crown Prince is de
MED this luxury. Along with Won Hin
denburg, Ludendorff, Won Mackenser
and the other diadems in the German
crown, the crown prince bumps along tC
the front on tires filled with rags, com
pressed cork and paper. These obser
vations form but small part of the
anthology of facts gathered by Victor
Van der Linde, special technical rep
resentative of the B. f. Goodrich Rub
Der company of Akron, who just re-
turned from Europe after long study
of tire conditions abroad. In some coun-
tries tires are not to be had at all, ex-
cept at a fabulous price and only after
a dozen or two high government Off
cials have had one on the witness stand
for weeks, literally speaking; gasoline
! is worth more than champagne and is
obtainable only with government con
sent, and nine tenths Of the automobiles
are not running.
"German scientists have tried to i'm
provise for the scarcity of rubber by
compounding what they call synthetic
rubber, " said Mr.. Van der Linde. "but
in this they have been unsuccessful.
There is not an ounce of crude rubber
in it at all and therefore it is devoid
of fiber. Then again it has cost about
fifteen times more a pound than the
vegetable.
"The situation of both Germany and
Austria, as concerns tires, is truly de-
plorable. Countries bounding the cen
trail empires, with the exception of
those that are at war with them are
in just as bad plight.
Greatly the only car running with
inner tubes in Germany today is that
of the kaiser s. Most castings are stuffed
with compressed campaign corks, paper,
rags and sausages made of ground cork.
'fSome have even been filled with
sand and dirt. This only refers to those
cars that have ragged casing left. Most
automobiles have ground away their
shoes and move about on rims bound
with rope. 1 was fortunate to find a
taxicab in Berlin--a taxicab is rare
there now-and experienced the sensa-
tion of riding in a machine having moth
ing but rope bound wheels. 1t was just
like riding on wagon. Every time the
car struck a cavity in the road, you
were jolted clear through.
I''There isn't bicycle tire left in
Germany outside of those on military
bicycles. Raids by the wholesale were
conducted ON shops and residences and
all bicycle tires siezed. These have been
reduced to permit their remaking as
