OCTOBER 1916.—
U-BOATS NOW EXPEGTED
10 A 0 GULF WATERS
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—A possibili
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 rald on shipping in Amer
ican waters
'l_‘he last reported position of the
U-53 was 158 miles due east of Fire
Island, which is considerable distance
south of the Nantucket shoals zone
where she was operating on Sunday.
A high British officlal stated that
he 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 Philadelphian and
the Minnehaha might induce him to
linger off New York.
The Minnehaha will ecarry 10,000
tons of war materials when she salls,
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
has not yet been definitely establish
ed whether flve or six ships were sunk
by the Germans.
The Philadelphian, Adriatic and
Heligoland were among the liners
scheduled to sail tomorrow. The de
?arture of the Minnehaha wWas prob
ematical, but it was said 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.
0f T. 8. Is Expected
BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Germany
i expected to agree not to try to
blockade American ports with her
submarine fleet. She will, however, |
insist on her right to operate gerer-‘
ally along the regular steamship lanes
in her attacks upon “enemy com
merce.”
That will be the position which will
be assumed when this Government
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 here
who 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
allies that submarines should be de
nied the use of American ports, is ex
pected to aid 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 eir
cles here today. It was felt that it
had squarely met an issue that was
bournd to be troublesome anyvhow, 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 is
growing more and more dangerous
daily. All of the belligerent powers
are interfering with American rights
and there seemingly is no possibility
of redress under present conditions.
Friction has been apparent for some
weeks between the various belliger
ent embassies hereand 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

Staff Correspondent of International

SHADOW LAWN, LONG BRANCH,
N. J. Oct. 11.—Secretary of State
Lansing, who came here to confer
with President Wilson, left for Wash
{ngton today.
Asked if the conference would re
#ult in the sending of another note to
Germany on submarine activity and
¢ it pertained in any way to Ambas
sador Gerard'’s visit, Mr. Lansing re
mained silent.
Feeling here is that while it is pos
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.
President Wilson will return here

U-Boats Convoyed b
; JETiged by
eutschland,ls Belief
(By International News Service.)
PARIS, Oct. 11.—The belief that the
German submarines operating off the|
American coast are mothered by the
subsea freighter Deutschland was ex
pressed here today by Henry O. Berg,
of New York, formerly a builder of
submarines. He says the Deutschland
could carry 1,000 tons of fuel, convoy
five fighting submarines across the
Atlantie at cruising speed, keep them
supplted with fuel for 120 days and
return with them to a German port.
U. 8. Seeks German
Base on Its Coast
~ (By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—The |
‘United States now has in progress
one of the most comprehensive‘
searches ever undertaken. Its object|
is to determine absolutely whether
‘there is a German U-boat base on
American territory. British and
French agerts 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
located 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
is 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, scout 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 did.

Steamer Picks Up

5 Empty Lifeboats
I (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 vieinity that German subma
rines carried out their raid on Sunday.
All the boats were in good condition
and one 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.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—The
mystery of the letter to Ambassador
von Bernstorff brought to Newport,
R. I, 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
ed an American port and would de
part within less than 24 hours. The
embassy pointed out that all Ger
man submarine commanders who en
ter neutral ports must make such re
ports to the German Ambassador in

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 $10.756 for cursing In
the presence of several women and
held under SIOO bond on the charge ufl
carrying a pistol without a license. |
The five strikers engaged in the fight
were dismissed.
Whether or nct 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 attorneys for the
street car company, who defended
Benefleld. It was shown 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 atforneys.
“1 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 is neither profane
nor obscene."”
The evidence showed that when
Benefleld'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. 836
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
the 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
the other. Ferguson, on picket duty
at the circus grounds, had urged Tan
ner to join the strikers. Tanner re
fused and cursed the union. Judge
Johnson fined him $5.75 and dismissed
Ferguson, saying he had a right to
work for the union if he did it in an
orderly manner,

Accept This 20-Year
Tire Judgment
Twenty years of tire expenence 1s summed up 1n the
tire judgment of five of the oldest dealers in Atlanta.
You can read here, in the words of three of these deal
ers, just what they think of Goodyear Tires. ;
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1, 1916.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., ’
Atlanta, Ga. :
Gentlemen:
The chicef reason why we sell Goodyear Tires is simply
because of the enormous demand for them in Atlanta.
We might handle some other tires that offer larger dis
counts but we prefer the Goodyear Tire because we can sell
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.
Yours very truly,
SANDERS & BROWN VULCANIZING CO.
y Per ]J. H. Sanders.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2, 1916.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
s Atlanta, Ga.,
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 it 1s on your tire. f
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 f
have a consumer’s demand in Atlanta unequaled by any
tire we Enow of. This enables us to make more sales at
less exfeme.
So this is why we have decided to carry and push Good
year Tires. Yours sery truly, ,
AUTOMOBILE TIRE t¢ SERVICE CO.
Per ]. R. Elliott, Jr.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2, 1916. F
Goodyear Tire &3 Rubter Co.,
Atlanta, Ga. \
Gentlemen: -
For three years we have experimented twith 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. oy :
The satistaction they give compared to the other lines we
have sold, coupled with the demand there is in Atlanta for
them, is why we sell Goodyear Tires.
Yours very truly,
