The Most Welcome ire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who Appreciate Superat;ue Values The Brunslick


In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: "How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ noted as leader in every
line it entered since 1876 has once
more proved that its policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply matter
Of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skiimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes brilliant staff
Of technical experts. Not man

among them has spent less than
20 years in handling rubber.
Each is master of his craft.
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc-
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire is combi-
nation OF acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards of manu-
facture.
The result is super-tire, the like
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind Of tire you will
gladly join in welcoming.
Yet Brunswicks cost no moro
than like-type tires.
Try ONE Brunswick. We prom
Use surprise. And we feel certain
that you will want ALL Bruns-
wicks.
: Then good tires will have a new
meaning to you.

finally to dispose Of the difficulties aris.
ing from the Adriatic situation.
Treaty Execution Discussed
Future sittings Of the peace confer
ence were discussed, the Premier said,
as were ratification of treaties already
concluded and the execution of their
clauses.
The conference discussed the con-
clusion Of peace with Turkey and Hun
gary, the Adriatic question and the
Russian situation. The Allies were in
complete agreement on all subjects,
the Premier said.
The Premier, explaining the refusal
of James O'Grady, British representa-
tive at Copenhagen, to receive peace
proposals from M. Litvinoff, the Rus
sian soviet representative, said that if
the Bolsheviki wanted peace they must
make peace with the people with whom
they are warring-General Denikine,
Admiral Kolchak and others.
French Loan Authorized
Mr.. Lloyd George said the economic
and financial situation was examined
IN detail, and in order to remedy the
fall IN exchange, which was prejudicial
to the two nations, Great Britain had
agreed to permit the issue of French
loan in England, he said
J. Austen Chambe rlain, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, told the Commons that
as far as could be foreseen the highest

Treaty With Germany
Threatened by Tvrol

VIENNA, Dec. 15.--The Tyrol Diet on
Friday unanimously adopted a note
asking the Entente for specific assur-
ances that the province will be provi-
stoned and supplied with law materials
and stating that, if this assurance is
not Forthcoming. a Joint customs, cur
rency and provisioning treaty with
Germany will be effected Immediately.
In the course of the debate in the
Diet the declaration was made that
while the present act contemplated ONLY
an economic union with Germany. it
was useless to try to hide the fact that
political union was the eventual OBJ
Ject. All the speakers emphasized the
statement that the province had been
driven to this step through sheer neces-
slty and economic pressure.
Reports received from Salzburg say
that the provincial Diet there contem-
plates similar action when it reas-
sembles, and that the movement also
Is making itself felt in Cerintha.

Sickness, Not Poison,
Kills 7 Police DOGS

Seven Of the twelve police dogs at
the 18th District detective headquarters
in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn,
were found dead yesterday and the
others were exceedingly sick dogs. 1t
was thought at first that poisoners had
been at work. No traces of poison were
found, however, by veterinarians of the
Health Department, who examined the
stomachs Of five of the days.
Acting Captain John Sullivan who is
IN charge of the district, believes a
canine malady resembling pneumonia
and highly contagious, seized the dogs.
The dogs, which are valued at So 1000
each, have been in charge Of Patrol
man for the last six years, and all have
been trained by him for two years or
more. Every night the dogs were taken
to different parts of the Flatbush sec
tlon in teams of four, each team under
charge Of policeman. The dogs would
search for suspicious characters. If
they found anyone prowlng about they
would knock him to the ground and
hold him until the patrolman arrived.

Germany Valves
War Guilt Issue
Note States Assent to the
Peace Treaty Does Not
Inuolue Extrudition

PARIS, Dec. 15 (By The Associated
Press 1.-The German note in reply to
the Entente, delivered to Paul Dutasta,
secretary of the peace conference. to-
day. says:
THE German government desires to
dissipate the misunderstanding that
owing to the momentary absence of
American delegates from the commits
sions provided for by the peace treaty.
Germany claimed notifications and dis,
positions of the treaty concerning the
extradition of persons charged with
ceulpability in acts contrary to military
law or the repatriation of prisoners.
The German government, previous
to receiving the Allied note, had al
ready explained the reasons WHY it
would appear necessary to modify the
conditions for the execution of those
clauses, but the German government
never made its assent for the putting
into force Of the peace treaty condi-
tlonal upon previous solution of that
question.
THE German government maintains
Its opinion that the best means to
reach solution of the Scapa Flow in
cldent would have been to submit the
case to international arbitration at The
hague. Such q measure would not
pU'IAli& lilc treaty INTO
force or the signing of the protocol
thus modified.
"Desirous, however, of doing its
utmost for the early establishment
OF peace, the German government de-
clares itself ready to make reparations
1or the damages caused to the Allied
and associated governments by the de-
struction of the ships.
But the German government is un-
able to effect such reparations in the
manner demanded by the protocal of
November l, because the execution of
the demands formulated in that pro
tocol would compromise irretrievablv
Germany's economic life and also rem
der Impossible of execution the other
enormous obliga tions which the treaty
imposes on Germany.
The German government will for
mulate, 1;,s through experts, positive de-
reparation, which, although adding a
new and heavy burden on Germany in
its present situation, are not alto
gether Incompatible with its vital in
terests."
