NOT TO BAR GERMAN GOODS
British Government Has Nothing TO
Fear from Competition.

London. Sept. 5.-Sir Auckland
Geddes, Minister of National Serv-
ice and Reconstruction, informed a
deputation of toymakers today that
the Government declined TO adopt the
policy of a three-year embargo on any
imported goods.
The Government information was,
he said, that Germany had only a
small accumulation of manufactured
goods ready for export Moreover,
the cost of manufacture in Germany
was rising enormously and Germany
was pitifully short of raw material
and coal.
The Minister believed that there
was nothing to fear from German
competition. Germany was trembling
on the verge of collapse and unless
she could get her trade under way
she must sink.
British industry Sir Auckland de
clared, would be helped, rather than
injured by trade with Germany.

Pershing Accepts Greetings In Name
of Brave Fellows Who Cameover
and Served to Best of Ability.

New York, Sept. S.-General Perish
ing is home again. Standing on the
bridge of the huge Leviathan. itseli
symbolic of victory over Germany
the commander of the greatest host
ever gathered under the Stars and
Stripes, came slowly up the bay world
famed and hailed as conquering hero
should be. The Leviathan docked in
Hoboken shortly after amid scream
ing of sirens from thousands of fac
tories and ships.
A message dropped by the police
hydro-alrplane aboard the Leviathan
at daybreak as she approached the
harbor, signalized the beginning of
the three days reception that promis-
ed to outshine all precious efforts of
the city.
| When General Pershing and the
welcoming committees arrive at the
Battery they will be driven in motor
cars from Pier A up Battery Place to
| Broadway and north to the City Hall.
After the Mayors reception the route
will be Park Row to Centre street,
into Lafayette street at Worth street,
and north to Ninth street, then west
to Fifth avenue, and north to the
Thirty-third street entrance to the
| Waldorf City officials last night re-
newed the request that buildings all
along this route be decorated and urg-
ed that private individuals, as we'll as
business firms take special pains this
morning to hang out flags and bunting.
When the 1st Division marches here
lcn Wednesday and in Washington
next week, with the soldiers will
march the Y NJ. G. A. workers who
served in France and Germany with
the men OF the Ist. according to in.
formation received last night from the
National War Council of the Y. M. G..
A. The "Y" men and women will
march by special invitation of Major
Gen. McGlacrlin. They will appear in
their respective units.
The record of service that the 'Y'
made with the 1st Division has been
pointed to with pride by every member
of the organization. There were $50
men and 35 women in the service of
tho 1st Division "Y' from 1917 to
1919. Two workers were killed, eleven
others gassed or wounded, four were
decorated and six were cited for brav-
cry in the front lines.
The first welfare building to be
erected for the 1st Division was the
Red Triangle hut in the Gondrecourt
region in France in November, 1917.
From there the "Y' moved to Toul,
when the division went into the front
lines. From this time until the divis-
cn came home from Germany the men
and women of the organization shared
the pleasures and hardships of the
troops.

Then Secretary Baker welcomed
Pershing on behalf of the United
States. After expressing his own
-ratifude for the Generals services,
he read letter from President VIII
son telling of his regret at not being
able to join the reception and pay tri-
butte. Replying briefly to formal well
comes. Pershing said "Those whom
we left behind are in the hands of af-
fectionate people" Baker subsequent
ly gave Pershing his commission as

great ovation when crossing to Man
haitian and upon his arrival.

LOWER TIRE Prices
GIVES SALES BOOST
MANY FORD ONNEi.S BUYING
GOODYEAR CORDS, LOCAL.
DEALERS REPORT

The recent reduction in tire prices,
the first offered to the vast army of
100000 car owners since the end
of the war, announced by the Good
year Tire e. Rubber company Of
Akron. Ohio. has resulted in big
increase in the number of purchases
of these. tires, especially by Furd
owners, according to the Rose
Nepple Auto company, the local
Goodyear service station.
"Our present action" says G.. NJ
manager of the Goodyear company
lis entirely logical and based on an
ample supply of raw materials Sc
cured at medium cost. the largest
tire production in the world. the ia
cilities afforded by ownership of our
own cotton plantation and fabric
mill. our worldwide organization
that gives us important advantages
in purchasing crude rubber, and a
desire to pass on to tire users the
benefits that come from this combi-
nation.
For years we have kept our profit
margin as low as safety would per-
nit, for our great volume of business
enabled us to make satisfactory an
nual showings. Last year our tire
output was limited by government
order to SO per cent of the previous
years production. But now that all
restrictions have been lifted and the
situation is fast becoming normal, we
feel that our obligation is once more
to our customers.
I'VE are making large shipments
of tires daily to our various branches
throughout the country for distribu-
ton among our service stations to
take care of immediate needs. and
have pushed our production to 25,0 900
tires day.
1--WE have pioneered the way in
pneumatic tires for motor trucks.
This price reduction will have a good
effect in stimulating the use of pneu-
MATES on motor trucks that are now
operating on solids. for in many kinds
Of service where greater mobility and
speed are imperative. pneumatics are
rapidly being adopted.
Our achievement in tire fabric is
also source of satisfaction to our
selves as we'll as to tire users. Az a
result Of the activities Of our own
mill, we are using fabric that is
fully per cent stronger than we
have ever been able to obtain on. the
open market.
We continue to use the costly
wrapped-tread process OF manufac-
ture with OMAR cure.
So In making announcement of
/. our present price reduction we con-
slider that we are in better position
than ever to maintain leadership In

III you asl, and you seek for the

life's road; if you obey the Golden
Rule; if. YOU travel the narrow road
then YOU viii help to save society;

ties that binds it together. The eX-
allied idea OF the liberty of human
rights will be preserved: your moral
standard and hat OF the world will
be of the highest and best, and your
ideals and those Of the nation the
loftiest''
This was the concluding word of
advice that Rev. John II. Secor, pas
tor of the First Methodist Episcopal
church, gave to the 60 graduates of
the Olympia high school Sunday even
ing in the baccalaureate sermon
which he delivered at the Baptist
church of this city,
The subject of Rev. Mr. Secor's adj
dress was The Strength of Society"
He said that American society is held
by powerful bonds and that the three
most powerful bonds of this nations
society are: THE common idea of
liberty and human rights; common
moral standard, and a commonly
held but high ideal toward which we
are tendings' He stated that great
part of the world is bad from ignO-
rant or selfish reasons; another part
is heather, and still another is Chris
tian-in name only.
THE world is not hungering for
the want of mercy. righteousness,
pure heart, peace makers nor is the
darkness from the economical needs,
but is all from the want of brotherly
love and mercy" said the speaker.
IF you wish to make life worth while
or TO amount to anything you must
travel the narrow road which calls
for the elimination of many pleasures
and desires and for a large amount
of hard work. The, gate to the wide
road is always open and there is
plenty of room for idlers and loaf
ers"
