correspondent to the Journal of Com- | HONGKONG, #9iL DEUEMBER, 1919 merca. The Government has laid on the table of the House of Commons the confidential report. of the private Inquiry held to investigate the matter. There were a good, many stories cur vent at the time as to what had got the vessel to the spot where she was torpedoed. It seemed a great. my- stery, and none of the assumptions appeared to meet the case. One of The tales told was that the commander of the U bost wirelessed a meme to the vessel to take a certain course she did, thinking it an Admiralty message. Another story was that the Admiralty sent a message which "the German was able to interpret. And yet a third was that the captain got no message, and took the usual
•ccars, as he did not want to run the risk of having to be outside the Merey Bar all night, and he exposed to torpedo attack there Whether these stories or any of them, were wholly or partially true none but the members of the Commission and the Admiralty know. But the public will soon be as wise as they.

CORD TIRES
UALITY in a tire is not appreciated, until it asserts itself through long
continued trouble-free performance.
The gauge to this service is the mileage total recorded when the casing finally is discarded,
The notable achievement of nine stock tires which, put to official finish test by the Automobile Club of America, averaged 6,760 miles, definitely established the un usual quality of Vacuum Cup Tires.
B
The rainy day certified test of the Pitts burgh Taxicab Company-in which heavy car equipped with Vacuum Cap Tires was driven around a wet corner at 25 miles an hour without skidding→→→
נו
conclusively proved the guaranteed ability of the Vacuum Cup tread to resist akid- ding on wet, slippery pavements,
In addition to this proved driving safety and the mileage guarantee -per warranty tag of 6,000 miles, Vacuum Cup Tires are reasonably priced. They cost approxi- mately the same as ordinary 8,500 mile tires and much less than other makes carrying equal mileage surety.
