On the left the British army of oc-

Thus three main roads to Berlin it

AMERICAN TROOPS
SAIL FOR HOME
Three Steamers Carrying First Re-
turning Soldiers to Arrive In
New York this Week

Washington, Nov. 25.-The first
units Of the American Expeditionary
forces to return from overseas are
expected to reach New York the last
of this week. Genral March, chief
of staff, announced today that 3S2
officers, four nurses and 6,614 enlist
ed men left Liverpool last week on
the liners Minnekahda, Lapland and
Orca. The units, largely air squad
rons, have been training in England.
This announcement means that the
movement of the American troops now
in England, the majority of whom are
in air service detachments, will con-
tinue steadily until all of them, some
5000 have returned to this country.
There are no regiments or other units
of line troops in Great Britain. The
first movement of the larger units,
such as brigades and divisions, will
come from French ports, II is assumed
as the British cross channel service
undoubtedly is completely occupied
with the transportation of returning

Wounded First

For the next several weeks Mr..
Baker expects returning troop ships
to be laden entirely with sick and
wounded men and those not immedi-
ately available for military service,
such as the men who have been dis
charged from hospitals In France, but
who have o fully recovered their
strength. They will be organized for
purposes of transportation into pro-
visional companies of from 100 to $50
men with the requisite number of Of
ficers and will be sent to designated
camps to be mustered out. 1t is as
sumed that efforts will be made in
France to put into each provisional
company men from the same general
locality in the United States in order
to ease the rehabilitation transporta-
ton problem on this side.

Tires Are Great Sufferers

one man operates his car carefully,
thinking of his tires, a hundred drive

for the damage to the castings and
tubes which is sure to result from
careless driving.

much time nor call for much labor

Get Those Extra Miles Out
OF Your Worn Tire Casing

Don't throw that old tire away, is the
injunction Of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company. Few tires are COM
pletely worn out when thrown away.
Most of them are capable of consider
able extra mileage if given little help.
A rim-cut patch or an inside tire pro-
tector will often add hundreds of miles
to the life Of the tire.
A rim-cut patch is designed for ap-
plication on the inside Of the tire, and
is constructed with flaps which fit I'M
derneath the bead or the tire on both
sides to hold the patch in place. 1t is
flexible and enduring, and once APP
piled is out of sight and mind. Tires
which seem to be hopelessly rim cut
are given new lease Of life after
being reinforced by a good rim-cut
patch.
And then there is the inside tire
protector, which is designed to provide
complete reinforcement for Worn and
weakened castings. Its use often ADDS
several thousand miles to tire life that
appears to be about ended. 1t is ap-
piled on the inside of the tire, as its
name suggests, and provides at very
low cost many miles that otherwise
would be lost
Anything that will give tire longer
life will keep real, jingling dollars in
the car owners pocket and will put off
the day when the purchase of a new
tire would otherwise be necessary. We
are not for economy that goes to the
extent of scrimping. but we believe
that if the millions of tires available
in this country are run properly and
conservation principles observed in
their use there will be tires enough for
everybody
Tire accessories also make an ideal
and profitable investment at any time,
but right now they are especially time
ly, economical and useful. For instance,
the tire saver kit which is obtainable
from Goodyear service stations is just
what the name implies, for it contains
accessories that permit a motorist to
put into practice the fashionable prin-
cples of tire conservation.
Take the pressure gauge, which is
but one of the items in the kit. 1t en-
ables the motorist to maintain proper
air pressures and to know at all times
just how much air his tires contain.
Then there's tire putty, which heals
wounds and keeps out sand and dirt,
which are active tire destroyers. And
so on through the list. Help your tires
and save money. "a stitch in time
saves nine"

Urged to Keep On Saving

peal to all Packard truck owners to

trucking so that much needed freight
cars might be released for government
purposes. To encourage Packard own
ers and drivers $4,000 in awards was
offered. Winners of the awards will
be announced in September.
One of the greatest results accom-
Eilshcd thus far by the truck efficiency

observers who have been watching the
trucks IN the test have yet to find a

an added interest in the return loads
m fostered by the Highways
transport Committee; others have in
augurated store door deliveries where
customers were agreeable; still Others
