DR.. Henry Van Dyke, Princeton Uni

Woodrow Wilson's closest friends in
Princeton and ambassador to the
Netherlands during the Wilson ad
ministra ton. said tonight:
Former President Wilson's death,
if it comes, will be q great loss to

thinking of it as a great, release to
and strenuous fight for health. His
achievements put him among the
great American Presidents. Five of
these achievements must be recog-

through on his entrance into his
high office. including especially the
federal reserve bill, which kept us
from panic and financial disaster dur

Praises War Policy.
Second, the patience and firmness
with which he handled the question
OF American entry into the war, re-
fusing to go In until it was un-
avoidable and until he had a united
country behind him.
Third, the vigor and efficiency
with which he carried on the war
after we were in, including the way
in which he handled the great Ques-
tion of selective draft.
Fourth, the splendid way in which
he made 1t clear that Americas pur-
pose in the war was to promote the
cause of liberty and peace in the
world. as we'll as to protect her own
interests.
Fifth. the fine courage with which
he advocated what seemed to him
the best, if not the only, way OF Sc
curing a lasting peace among the
nations of the earth and the absolute
devotion with which he practically
laid down his life for that cause
things will stand to his everlasting
credit"

STOCK or TIRES
RELDLQN BY
DEALERS
Department Of Commerce Re-
port Shows But Eight
Weeks Supply

The average automobile tire
dealer has his inventory well re-
duced for the opening pf the late
fall and winter season. according to
the results Of q survey which the
Department OF Commences has just
completed covering the stocks Of
26.161 Individual dealers. During the
latter part OF the summer, tire
manufacturers are known to have
speeded up production and their
sales to tire dealers In July, August
and September were considerably
larger than during the proceeding
months. The survey has revealed
rather conclusively that the average
dealer has been able to pass these
tires on to the consumer and can
enter the fail and winter season
with stocks apparently down to nor
NAL. The survey was taken as Of
October 1.
The 26,l61 dealers referred 70
held average stocks Of sac tires
each. This figure Is considerably
under the average found in tho
hands Of dealers participating in
q similar but unofficial survey taken
as Of April /, 1924; at that time
the average stock Of 17,797 dealers
was computed TO be 92.6 castings.
The sharp decline in the average
stocks on October /, as compared
with April /, may be credited In
part to the fact that greater per-
scentAge of small dealers partici
pated in the October survey, but 1t
certainly reveals that the seasonal
trend under which autumn stocks
are normally much reduced il being
closely followed this year by tire
dealers throughout the country.
Eight Weeks Supply.
Experts in the tire trade who
examined the departments prelirn-
mary figures, which were published
more than tw0 weeks ago, have
stated that the stocks in the hands
Of dealers represent from six to
an eight weeks supply at the pres.
emit rate Of consumer buying. The
same experts gave their opinion
that there are 100000 tire dealers
in the United. On that basis. they
would have held at the beginning
of October some 5,S00,OOO tires, II

This is approximately an eight

known to believe 1t to be.
