U-BOATS NOW EAPECTED
T 0 A 0 GULF WATERS
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—A posslbm-‘
ty that Germany has established, or
is seeking to establish, a submarine
base on the Mexican coast is con
tained in the latest developments in
the U-boat raid on shipping in Amer
fcan waters
The last reported pocition of the
U-53 was 158 miles due east of Fire
Island, which i{s considerable distance
south of the Nantucket shoals zone
where she was operating on Sunday.
A high British official stated that
the belleved Captain Rose, of the U-53,
might head for the Gulf of Mexico
and attempt to resume raiding oper
ations., But he admitted that the
temptation of sinking ships such as
the Adriatic, the Phlladelphian and
the Minnehaha might induce him to
linger off New York.
The Minnehaha will carry 10,000
tons of war materials when she salils,
while other great cargoes of war sup
plies will be carried on the Adriatic
and Philadelphian.
~ The mysetry »of the Kingston or
Xingstonian, which was reported to
have been sunk off Nantucke on Sun
day, has not yet been cleared up. It
as not yet been definitely establish
sed whether five or six ships were sunk
y the Germans.
The Philadelphian, Adriatic and
Heligoland were among the Hioers
scheduled to sail tomorrew. The de
parture of the Minnehaha was prob
lematical, but it was sald she might
try to get away today.
A fleet of allied warships lying out
side New York will meet them with
in the next few days, according to
reports, and will convoy them through
the danger zone,

No U-Boat Blockade
0f U. 8. Is Expected
BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service. 1
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Germany
is expected to agree not to try to‘
blockade American ports with her
submarine fleet. She wiil, however,
insist on her right to operate gener
ally along the regular steamship lanes ‘
in her attacks upon ‘“enemy com-|
merce.” |
That vrill be the position which will
be assumed when this Governmenti
reiterates to Germany a similar pro
test to that which was made against!
the Anglo-French operations off the
big harbors of the Atlantic coast, ac~ |
cording to diplomatic officials herei
whe know the facts. Germany, it
was said, already has considered the!
effect submarine operations on this
side of the ocean would have on
American public sentiment and the
trip of the U-53 and U-61 was for
the purpose of bringing the matter
to a head.
The fact that the United States, as
the leading neutral, has refused to
accept the contention of the Entente
allles that submarines should be de
nied the use of American ports, is ex
pected to ald in an amicable solution
of the submarine question if the
United States, as now is considered
certain, makes a friendly request to
Germany to kep her underwater craft
away from American waters. ‘
The American note refusing to
change the rules of the game, as made
public last night, was the subject of
general discussion in diplomatic cir
¢eles here today. It was felt that it
had squarely met an issue that was
bournd to be troublesome anyhow, and
that by maintaining the position that
{international law must be respected
by the United States, this Govern
ment evades what might have proved
a dangerous trap later on.
' Officials here realize fully that the
general international situation s
growing mcre and more dangerous
dally. All of the belligerent powers
are interfering with American rights
and there seemingly is no possibility
of redress under present conditions.
¥riction has been apparent for some
weeks between the various belliger
ent embassies here and the State De
partment and all of the causes lead
ing up to this situation now are be
) ing discussed by President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing.
Note to Germany

Believed Unlikely

News Service.
SHADOW LAWN, LONG BRANCH,
N. J., Oct. 11.—Secretary of State
Lansing, who came here to confer
with President Wilson, left for Wash
ington today.
Asked if the conference would re
gult in the sending of another note to
Germany' on submarine activity and
if it pertained in any way to Ambas
sador Gerard’s visit, Mr. Lansing re
mained silent.
Feeling here is that while it is pos
j sible that a note may be sent to Ger
many, it is not highly probable.
The President was busy during the
morning preparing for his departure
this afternoon for Indianapolis, where
he will make three speeches tomorrow.

PARIS, Oct. 11,—The belles that the
German submarines operating off the
American coast are mothered by the

pressed here today by Henry O. Berg,
of New York, formerly a bullder of

U. 8. Beeks German
- Base on Its Coast
(By International News Service.)
WA'SHINGTON, Oct. 11.—The
United States noew has in progress
one of the most compregensive
searches ever undertaken. Its object
i{s to determine absolutely whether
there is a German U-boat base on
American territory. British and
French agents in New York and Bos
ton have sald that there was, and
that parts for submarines were being
manufactured here and sent to an un
-Ilorat¢d point for assembling.
The entire resources of the State
Department, the Navy Department
and the Department of Justice are
being utilized to investigate this al
legation, although officials declare it
ig their opinion there is no truth in
it. It is realized, however, that such
a base may have been established in
the West Indies or along the coast of
Central America. Naval officers,
however, scrat this theory, and de
clare that the German submarines are
being supplied from “mother ships,”
which either shipped from neutral
countries ‘or slipped through the
‘blockade, as the Moewe eid.

Steamer Picks Up
i ' |
5 Empty Lifeboats
(By International News Service.)
NEWPORT, R. I, Oct. 11.—The
steamship Antonio Lopez, eastward
bound, reported by wireless today that
she had picked up five abandoned life
boats off Nantucket shoals. It was
in that vicinity that German subma
rines carried out their raid on Sunday.
All the boats were in good condition
and orne had “Liverpool” painted on
it, but they bore no marks to show
what ships they were from. It is be
lieved that the boats belong to ships
sunk on Sunday and that they were
abandoned after their crews were
picked up by destroyers. ‘

WASHINGTONR, Oct. 11.—The
mystery of the letter to Ambassador
von Bernstorff brought to Newport,
R. 1, by Captain Hans Rose, on the
German submarine U-53, was cleared
up this afternoon. |
The German embassy announced
that the letter contained only formal
information that the U-53 had enter-|

part within less than 24 hours. The
embassy pointed out that all Ger

JTRIKERS AR
[ISMISSED
Before a crowd of trolley strikers
and friends which filled the courtroom
Wednesday L. W. Benefield, motor
man, was tried before Recorder John
son for his affray last Saturday with
strikers on McDonough road. Bene
field was fined $10.75 for cursing in
the presence of several women and
held under SIOO bond on the charge of
carrying a pistol without a license.
The five strikers engaged in the fight
were dismissed,
Whether or not the use of the word
“scab” as applied to a street car op
erative was a violation of law was a
point discussed heatedly by Judge
Johnson and the attgrneys for the
street car company, who defended
Benefield. It was showr that the
strikers congregated on McDonough
road when Benefleld’s car approached
had applied the offensive word to the
motorman.
“We want you to bind these men!
over so we can take the case to a
higher court and make a test of the
offense of using that word,” insisted
the trolley company attorneys.
“I will not send these men to jail
and jeopardize their liberty in order
to let you make a test case,” retorted
the judge. “The City Attorney can
find nothing in the law against the
use of the word. If these men had
said ‘damn scab’ I would fine them,
but the plain word s neither profane
nor obscene.”
The evidence showed that when
Benefield’'s car approached the crowd
in which were H, H, H, C,, J. H. and
H. L. Stevens, No. 210 McDonough
road, and R. T. Hammock, No. 335
Lakewood avenue, all striking em
ployees, they called him a ‘scab.”
Then, it was shown, Benefleld got off
the car and walked toward them, put
ting his hand on his pistol. They set
‘upon him and beat him badly, and all
were arrested shortly afterward.
‘ The Stevens brothers sald a war
‘rant had been taken out by them in
ithe Municipal Court against W, C.
'Stock, conductor on the same car,
charging him with carrying a pistol.
‘They said Mrs. A. E. Mahaffy saw
'him draw the weapon and start from
‘the car toward the crowd. Attorney
‘John 8. McClelland represented the
group of strikers.
~ J. J. Tanner, a nonunion conductor,
'and Ray Ferguson, a striker, appeared
in court, each having complained of
jthe other. Ferguson, on picket duty
‘at the circus grounds, had urged Tan
‘ner to join the strikers. Tanner re
fused and cursed the unjon. Judge
' Johnson fined him $£.75 and dismissed
Ferguson, saying he had a right to
work for the union if he did it In an
orderly manner,

Twenty years of tire experience is summed up in the
tire judgment of five of the oldest dealers in Atlanta.

The Goodyear Tire € Rubber Co., G
Atlanta, Ga. Z
Gentlemen: s
The chief reason why we sell Goodyear Tires is simply 4
because of the enormous demand for them in Atlanta. s
We might handle some other tires that offer larger dis
counts but we prefer the Goodyear Tire because we can sell a
many more than any other make.
The Goodyear Company have made wonderful improve
ments in their tires in the last few years and they are giving
extremely good service. v
Yours very truly, ;

Gentlemen: ;
On August first we put in a run of sizes in both your
Cord and Fabric Tires, and at the end of the first month %
were very much surprised at the increase in the volume of
our business.
Up until this time we could never see where it would be &
to our interest to handle a tire on which the margin of profit ¥
was as small as 1t is on your tire.
Now, we can see in this short time that we can make
more profit by selling your tires for two reasons. First, :
because we can better satisfy our customers with the service
they give, thereby holding our trade. Second, because you
have a consumer’s demand in Atlanta unequaled by any ,
tire we know of. This enables us to make more sales at :
less ex}:me. '
So this is why we have decided to carry and push Good
year Tires. Yowes tiry iy, !

Gentlemen: -
For three years we have experimented with tires trying to
find the tire that would give our trade the greatest satisfac
tion. In this time we have had some of the lowest and some
of the highest priced tires on the market—we have at all
times sold some Goodyears.
So after watching and checking up the service given by
the various lines on the cars of our customers, we have come
to the conclusion that Goodyears are the tires we want to
stock and sell. ks
The satisfaction they give compared to the other lines we
have :qld, coupled with the demand there is in Atlanta for
them, is why we sell Goodyear Tires.
Yours very truly,
