FRENCH COMMENT ON SCAPA

FLOW.

P

My friend the old Parisian, straight and thin, with his grey turned-up · moustache, his straw hat at a con- quering angle, came out of a tobac conist's shop near the Madeleine, pinching a cigar near his ear: Three franes (2s. 6d.), and it is not. dry!" he told me, with a grimace.

"Terrible!" I reply. Then all at once: "What do you think of the sinking of the German feet at Scapa Flow?"

EA

He remained silent a second; then a mischievous smile invaded bit by bit his clouded face. "Do you want the truth?" he asked... Ah, well, first of all, I am very glad the French were not in charge of this Beet. After the anti-German mani»: festations as Versailles it would not have been forgiver us. Our poor See would have caught it nicely! What accusations of incompetence carelessness! Whereas and British Fleet has such broad shoulders -it is an international creed-and has given such proofs of being the greatest in the world. Love one's neighbour as one may, one prefers. that the blunder should be his."

"But, talking of blunders," I asked, **what do you think of that of the Germans?"

"Kolossal! They never missed a chance of making one.. Well, that i will make it easier, for them to be admitted to the League of Nations!! They have a strange way of showing their good faith and good will Ai a recommendation for membership it is the very thing. Had they done it at the moment of their surren der, had their admiral imitating our Vengeur, blown himself up with his crew very good! Or let us even suppose they had waited six months and then at the last hour, having lost all hope, they had sunk them- elves together with their condemned Beet-there would have been in that something of Roman heroism; they would have made a less sorry figure in history."

"They are

not even splendid bandits, but mere common thieves. who destroy what is not their own, and once more they have verjured themselves. Could there be any- thing more miserable than the excuse of Ton Reuter asalence united with diskcnesty? That is Germany!"

CENTURY-OLD ERROR.

"We have known them as such a long time now," I said.

"Do you think so? If we have, our good friends the English have not, at any rate. After so many disastrous, experiences, after having been deceived, wronged, and cheated an endless number of times, they have not yet learned their lesson: they still believe in the word of the Boches-in their honour. There were three small boats to watch over this big Beet of pirates, and at such a critical hour, toot What delightful! and refreshing confidence! So de lightful that ill-intentioned people will always be found among us to pretend that the British Navy, did it on purpose to get out of an anxious

CORD TIRES

UALITY in 2 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 hy the Automobile Club of America, averaged, 6,760 miles, definitely established the un-. usual quality of Vacuum Cup Tires.

The rainy day certified test of the Pitta- burgh Taxicab Company in which, a heavy car equipped with Vacuum Cup

Tires was driven around a wet corner st 25 miles an hour without skidding—

conclusively proved the guaranteed ability. of the Vacuum Cup tread to resist, skid- ding on wet, slippery pavements,

In addition to this proved driving safety and the mileage guaranteeper warranty tag of 6,000 miles, Vacuum Cup Tires are reasonably priced. They cost approxi- mately the same sa ordinary 3,500 mile tires and much less than other makes carrying equal mileage murety.
