The Greatest Shoe Sale
the World Has
Ever Known

"
Limitation is the sincerest form of fattery"
There are going on in New York, Chicago
Boston and Baltimore, sales of shoes or clothing
direct to the consumer, patterned after our sale,
and those conducting these sales have been frank
enough and honest enough to admit they were copy
ing idea account of the great success we were
meeting with. They have all overlooked one very
important item which has made our sale such a
success. =
1--WE are advertised by our friends" Nine peo-
pie out Of ten have visited sale the advice Of
a friend. Why?. Because we are selling shoes with
out profit with free rent and no overhead expenses
and such shoes-from the best manufacturers in
America EveryStye EveryShape Every Size either
is on the floor of the Grand Central Palace or will be
during this sale-and we are not selling manufac-
turerS' shoes for a commission. We have no shoes
on consignment. We have bought no shoes for this
sale and will not buy, no matter how tempting the
prices to us may be- We are selling our own shoes
and retiring from the shoe business. The largest
stock in the world-ranging in price from $1,OO to
ST. 90 for ladies', girls and infants from S.. 90 to
$8 90 for mems and boys, and there have been no
such shoes at these prices since before the See
ing is believing. Come to the Grand Central Palace,
46th Street and Lexington Avenue any day, every
day from A. M. to 10 P. M.
No Exchanges-No Returns-No Deliveries,
but if you should happen to get pair of mismates
or a defective pair bring them back and get your
money We want your money! but don't want it
unless you get a pair of shoes and sound pair.

Planned to Loot Ships
It was quite dark when we final.

shortly after 8 o'clock near Burnt
island. The Germans were immedi-
ately ordered to leave the ship, and
were transferred by tug to the
steamer Rugen for return to Ger
many. This unexpected order to
clear the ship that night evidently
capsized their plans, and they OBJ

more than graft. It's political phase
might be termed graft, and that
form of squeeze is what makes the
military governors of the provinces
and the politicians Of Peking and
Canton so fat. Most Chinese poll
ticians would have been acceptable
in the eyes Of Julius Caesar, and
squeeze is the reason for some Of
the corpulence in China.
Squeeze is the Chinese translation
Of "as much as the traffic will bear"
1t Is a factor in Chinese business,
as much as supply and demand, or
profit and loss. Every foreign law

these terms, for he knows that this
is squeeze and that he himself has
employed the same practice in his
own business. Such dealings are
not lllegltimate in China, although
foreigners sometimes regard them
as such. To date all attempts by
foreigners to do away with squeeze
have failed miserably.

A couple of weeks later three
mine sweepers, the Red Wing, Lieu
tenant F. C. A. Plagemann; the Rail,
Lieutenant A. E. Freed, and the
Falcon, Lieutenant w. B. Buchanan,
arrived from the United States for
duty in connection with the towing
Of the three ex-German destroyers
home.
Making Repairs
Working parties from all these
ships were Immediately put on board
| the three destroyers, the G-1O2, the
S-132, the V-43, and the cruiser
Frankfurt, to dig out the dirt pre-
paratory to starting repairs. The in
spection of the cruiser Frankfurt, a
5,500-ton vessel, showed her to be
in much the same condition, com
partments flooded, nearly every
thing either wrecked or gone and
the entire ship Uttered with an in
describable mass of wreckage. One
wondered where all the stuff with
which the ship was glutted came
from.
All four Of these ships had to be
docked, cleaned, painted, their pro-
pellers removed to facilitate towing
home, and all the numerous holes in
their sides and underwater bodies
plugged as a safety precaution foi
the long trip across the open sea.
The British naval officials were
very courteous in assisting us with
our work, particularly the Admiral
Superintendent of the Rosyth Dock
Yard, Rear Admiral Sir John Green,
R. N, who commanded the battleship
II. NJ. S. New Zealand at Jutland.
and Captain Curtis, r. NJ, in COM
mand Of the destroyer base at Port
Edgar. Captain Curtis had COM
manded the Harwich patrol, most
hazardous billet, and later mining
division during the war, and was
decorated by the King for his heroic
work. Thanks to the courteous CO.
operation Of these two officers we
were permitted to place our destroy
ers In the destroyer pen (docks) at
Port Edgar and to tie up German
destroyer alongside each of ours,
thereby increasing the speed of our
work enormously.

steamed to the rendezvous that

consisted of the following ships:

permitted to remain on board that
night they would have looted every
thing possible. 1t was found that
they had made elaborate plans to
pillage the ship thoroughly. The
magnitude of their efforts astonished
me. For instance, they had actu-
ally prepared to remove all the rao-
tor generators from the ship; venti-
lators and ventilating motors, fit
slngs, spare parts, etc. Small parts
were collected in bundles and we'll
secured for easy handling. I was
surprised that they were not pre-
pairing to lift the main engines.
There wasn't much else that they
had not started to remove. We
caught one able-bodied German SOL
dier trying to carry motor weigh
ing approximately one hundred
pounds over the side in box hid
den under his clothes. Our armed
guard was stationed at the gangway
and searched any man whose ac-
tions aroused suspicion. Our blue
jackets below caught their fireroon
force trying to light off fires under
the dead boilers. Had they sue
ceeded, they would have ruined the
boilers completely and we could not
have steamed home until after very
extensive repairs. For several days
we continued to find evidence Of
their elaborate schemes for loot
ing.
