 ON FEAST DAY

With the American Army in France, Thursday, Nov. 29-(By the Associated Press) - Every American soldier in France spent a real American Thanksgiving to- day. He dined on turkey and all that goes with it until he could eat no more.
 The feature of the day was a football game in which team from the engineers defeated a team from the infantry. The game was watched by thousands of American troops and 8 thousand French soldiers who were home from the front on leave. The shouts from the respective rooters were heard far afield and toward the end of the game the French soldiers, getting the hang of 1t, became just as enthusiastic as the Americans.
 Virtually all instruction work and drilling was suspended for the day.

 German headquarters in Brest Litovsk. Washington, Nov. 3o.-Austria's de- cision to line up with Germany in opening pe,ace negotiations with the Russian bolsheviki may possibly have some effect on the administrators s disinclination toward a declaration of war on the dual monarchy, but the general impression in official circles here is that 1t will not bring about any tangible development for the present at least.
 Administration senators gathering for the coming session of congress, among them some who have publicly expressed the opinion that the United States should declare war on all Ger many's allies, have found on confer ence with the executive branch of the government that there is no disposi- ton to ask congress to make another war declaration at this time. They found that the hope of breaking up the Central power alliance had not been entirely abandoned.

Do You Get
Real Tire Service?

= EAL tire service does not mean helping yCu out
= OF trouble after you get into it.
It means keeping you from getting into trouble in
the first place.
Many tires &c to the scrap heap sooner than they
should because the tire merchant does not help pro-
long tire wear.
Many tires fail W lille in service and cause provok-
ing delays because the tire merchant does not make
it his business to see that his customers tires
kept in perfect running order.
Under-inHation neglected tread cuts overloading
careless driving and wheels out of alignment have
ruined many good tire.
If your dealer would watch these things for you, OBJ
Viously your trouble on the road would be reduced
to minimum you could increase your tire mileage,
and cut down your tire expense.
That is the kind of tire service we Goodyear Serv-
ice Station Dealers want to offer you.
It's our business to hold your business by giving you
maximum tire satisfaction
First We sell you Goodyear Tires because they will
20 farther last longer and in the end cost you less
Second: We offer you the convenience of complete
stock on hand-you never have to wait for lis to

Third We give your tires in use the expert atten-
ton necessary to make them deliver the last mile
built into them.
And that is real tire service Do you get 1t now?

monstrated their patriotism by way
ing flags A solo, over There" by
E. E, Bottum. H. S. Phillips at the

The speaker of the evening, John
Spargo of Old Bennington, was
then introduced by the chairman, w.
r. Mattison. Mr. Spargo S subject
was America and the War for
World Freedom" The address de-
monstrated that Mr.. Spargo is in
close touch with the leading men and
events OF the day, and his remarks
held the close attention OF the aud
ience until its close, when the hearty

In closing Mr. Bottum rendered an

Mr. Spargo warned his hearers
particularly not to believe stories. of
terrible disasters to American troops
and other things craftily circulatal
by agents of Germany in an attempt
to break down the moral strength of
the American people.
He assured his hearers that all
real disasters will be promptly given
out by the Washington authorities,
no matter how serious they may be-
and that they could rely on this in
formation while rumors and reports
circulated from month to month are
always of no value.
He declared that America is in
war, not because it is military ma
ton. but in behalf of American
ideals and to bring nearer the day
when shall prevail in all the world,

men.
