London.—The war Information
reau announces the following:
"The Belgian minlater of foreign
affairs reports that a German army
corps, after receiving a check with-
drew in disorder to the city of Lou-
vain. The Germans on guard at the
entrance of the city mistaking the
nature of this incursion,-fired upon
their countrymen, whom they mistook
for Belgians.
"In spite of all the aenlals from ths
authorities, the Germans In order to
cover their mistake pretended that It
was the inhabitants who bad fired on
them, whereas the, inhabitants, includ-
ing the police, all had been disarmed
more than a week before.
"Without inquiry and without listen-
to any protest, the German com
mander announced that the town
would be destroyed Immediately. The
inhabitants were ordered to leave their
dwellings and some were made pris-
oners. The women and children were
placed on trains, ehe destination of
which is not known, and soldiers
with bombs set lire to all parts of the
city. The splendid church of St.

brary" and scientific establishments
were delivered to the flames.

Flies Protest With U. S.
Washington—Formal protest against
the burning of Louvain by German
troops as a violation of international
law and the laws of humanl^ was sub-
mitted to the state department by Bel
gian minister Haveman.
The minister was deeply moved
when he left Secretary Bryan's office.
"I bring this knowledge to the
United States,'- said the minister, for
it is not only Belgium that has suf-
fered This thing concerns the whole
world."
The loss of the old church of St.
Pierre was mentioned. In conclusion
the message ran as follows:
"Americans, many of whom have
fo)lowed courses at this Illustrious
alma mater and have there received
such cordial hospitality cannot remain
insensible to this outrage on the rights
of humanity and civilization which Is
unprecedented in history."

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for baying Goodyear tires. It re-
sults from War conditions.
These leading tires—built of extra-fine
rubber, in the same way as always—are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today a very wide difference
between most tire prices and Good years.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August—when war began—the
world's robber markets seemed closed, to us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others—in that panic—were forced to higher
prices. But. we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
world's rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub-
ber. They bought—before the advance—1,500,-
000 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to us.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the world's
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured of a constant supply, and our pick of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick-
est in action. As a result,' we shall soon have in
storage an' almost record supply of this extra
grade of rubber.
% And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it haa
been rejected. But that "off rubber" now sells
for much more than ire paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advsnce of
Ooodyears. And many tire makers, short of
supplies, will bo forced to use second-grade
rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Ooodyears we pledge you the same grade
tire as always. And that grade won for Qood-

them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge them,
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
. That means that Goodjrears—the best
tires built—are selling way below other tires.

GERMANS RETREAT IN THE EA8T
W. N. U, Oklahoma City, Ns. SS-1S14
i
Not Yet Ready For Pltchad Battle
With Ruaaians.
St. Petersburg—That the German
defense at its eastern territory does
not contemplate a pitched battle ex-
cept on ground selected by the Ger-
man staff Itself Is now considered cer-
tain. Reports from the front indicate
the Germans are making no definite
stand. They are slowly retreating be-
fore the Russian advance, inflicting all
of the damage possible, as they move
back on their main line of fortiflca
tlons.
Tho Russian left and center armies
operating in force and along lines
previously laid down save bottled up
the German garrisons of the eastern
Prussia forts and their reduction Is
assured whenever the general stall
orders It. The objective of the center
army is believed to be Posen, although
no Information regarding plans Is ob
talnable here.
Stories of supplies being poisoned
by the Germans and left behind to
be eaten by the Russian troops, are
current here. Many Russians are re
ported to have died aa the result of
eating the commissary supplies taken
at Gutnblnen Instensburg and Eydt
kuhnens, and orders have been Issued
that hereafter all such supplies taken
shall Immediately be burned.
That the Germans will make a
definite stand long before the de
fenses of the Oder are reached Is
believed certain here. The general
staff has reports of heavy Austrian
reinforcements being detached from
the Servian border aad hurried north
l/ito Prussian territory. It Is believed
also that ths Germans bare bass
strongly reinforced by the reserve
arsiy lust mobilised.

Crosses of Honor Will Be Won in
the European War.
England, France and Germany Be-
stow Thsss Testimonials of Deeds
of Oaring Performsd by Of-
ficers or Prlvstes.
By EDWARD B. CLARK.
► Washington.—Some of the soldiers
of England, France and Germany In
the present war unquestionably will
win the crosses of honor which are the
most coveted decorations which gov-
ernments give for acts of conspicuous
personal gallantry In the face of the
enemy.
To Americans perhaps the French
Cross of the Legion of Honor and the
Victoria Cross of England are more
familiarly known than are the decora-
tions given by Germany. In the
United States we have the Congres- snow, mat mny one-nait or me most
sional Medal of Honor which Is glvenstrlklng exhibitions of heroism have
by congress for Individual deeds of dar
ing In the Held. The Intrinsic value
of any of these badges Is about one
cent, and yet for the privilege of wear-
ing them soldiers seem always ready
to tread Oray's "paths of glory.
The French decoration was first
granted under Napoleon In the early
part of the present century; the Vic-
toria Cross was Instituted during the
Crimean war and the American medal
of honor was first struck off to reward
acta of heroism performed during the
Civil war. The French cross may be
won by civilians; the English and
American crosses are pinned only upon
the breasts of soldiers and sailors. In
the armies of all three nations officer
and private, peasant and prince, have
equal chances of wearing that which
nothing but attested bravery can buy.
The first Victoria Cross granted for
bravery in the South African war was
given to Col. Ian Hamilton of the Gor-
don Highlanders for conspicuous gal-
lantry at the battle of Elandslaagte.
A perusal of the Gazette list which
tells something of the deeds for which
the,Victoria Croas has been awarded
shows that fully one-half of the most
been shown by men whose shoulders
bore no insignia of rank. One English
publication states that with perhaps
one exception the bravest thing ever
done by a British soldier was the act
of a drummer boy.
That drummer boy, If living, Is now
a man seventy-two years old, snd for
67 years of that time he has been wear-
ing the Victoria Cross, and has had
the right to write V. C. after his name.
This boy In the year 1857, amid a show-
er of shot and shells, fastened begs
of gunpowder on the sates of Delhi.
He carried death in bis arms thst day .
