GERMANS SURROUND THEALLIES Berlin So Asserts in Official Report. FRENCH ARMY OF NORTH ISOLATED Gut Off From Communication With Forces ot Republic to the Eastward. 4* London, Aug. 29.A dis patch to the Times from 4r Boulogne says it is asserted 4* that German troops, presum- 4* ably cavalry, broke through 4* the allies lines near Arras, in 4 the province of Pas de Calais. The French moved up with h rapidity, it is declared, and 4 have the situation well in f hand. 4* The dispatch says that the 4* allied troops are being swiftly 4* arranged to deal with any 4* further attempt to break 4* through the line between Dun- 4* kirk and Lille. 4- 44,4,^*4*^*4*^""J*4*4*4*4*4*4*4* Washington, Aug. 29.Wireless dis patches to the German embassy from Berlin state that the French army of the north, in which is now included the British army, has been practically surrounded and the positions along the Sambre and Meuse rivers isolated. They also state that the eastern and northern armies have been wide ly separated, while German cavalry have advanced on Ostend, now oc cupied by British marines. "As a result of the recent encoun- ter," one of the messages says, "the French and English north army on the Sambre and Meuse rivt rs has been surrouned by German troops on all sides. "The French east army was partly driven to the south. "This prevented communication be tween the French east and north armies, while all the German tuniies are compact from Cam brer i to Upper Alsace. The German cavalry has ad vanced to Ostend.

Due to Quick Action Early in Augustwhen war began the world's rubber markets seemed closed to ns. Rubber prices doubled almost over night. Men could see no way to pay for rub ber abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like othersin that panicwere forced to higher prices. But we have sin.ee gone back to prices we charged be fore 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 rubber. They bought before the advance1,500,000 pounds of the finest rubber there. Nearly all this is now on the way to us. And it means practically all of the ex tra-grade rubber obtainable abroad. THE GOODYEAR TIRE & ed a grave crises, the German embas-. sy was informed in another wireless message from Berlin. "Reports from Copenhagen and Stockholm announce a grave crisis in the French government," the dis patch said. "The Spanish ambassador at Vienna calls the situation in France very serious. The Danish colony in Berlin warns foreigners of fictitious news. "At a meeting of all of the foreign colonies In Berlin a resolution of thanks was passed for kind treatment of foreigners and to express admira tion for the wonderful enthusiasm of the Gerrhan people." The dispatches were given out by Count von Bernstorff, the German am bassador, who conferred with Secre tary of State Bryan and communicated to him these dispatches. BRITISH FORCES BEAR BRUNT OF FIGHTING London, Aug. 29.That the British expeditionary forces are bearing the brunt of the fighting was admitted in the house of commons. "In Wednesday's fighting," announc ed Premier Asquith, "the British forces received the assault of five complete German army corps. "Our forces held their ground un I til the brunt of the attack had been made. They then retired slightly to i new position. "The British inflicted enormous losses upon the Germans, but I regret to state our own losses were corre spondingly great." Premier Asquith stated that the British forces were holding the line about Camberi, in the department of the North and between twenty and twenty-five miles ^inside the French frontier. This was the first time that the definite position of the British has been revealed since they withdrew from Mons. ATH TO PARIS OPEN, SAYS LONDON PAPER London, Aug. 29.The Chronicle, commenting on "the war's progress." says: "Since the great disaster which be fell the allies in Belgium silence deep er than ever has been imposed by the censorship. "From a message sent out twenty four hours ago by the French em bassy, showing fighting on the line between Cambran and Lecateau, it is apparent that the French have been driven back past their line of fro tier fortresses to a point twenty miles beyond that line. "There is no longer any serious for tified obstacle between the German main advance and Paris. Under the circumstances it is not surprising that the French ministry has resigned and reconstituted itself as a committee of public safety. "Meanwhile, as if a siege of Paris now was looming foremost in their minds, their first step has been to appo'nt a general in supreme com mand of Paris and its troops."

FIRST REAL TEST OF ENEMY'S STRENGTH Severe Fighting in Eastern Prussia and on Border of Austrian Galicia. London, Aug. 29.Russian 4* forces have crossed the Vistula K 4* in Germany and the River 4 4 Dneister in Galicia^ The news that the czar's 4* troops have crossed the Vis- $- 4* tula and the Dneister rivers 4* 4 without meeting any great op- 4* 4* position causes great apprehen- 4 4* sion at Berlin, it is said. 4 4- St. Petersburg, Aug. 29.The first real test of the strength of the Ger man and Austrian defense is being made. Two general battlesone in East ern Prussia and the other in Austrian Galiciahave begun. The Austrian battle has for its ob jective Lemberg, capital of Galicia. General Wanaff, with a Russian army of more than 200,000 men, heavily supported by artillery, attacked the fortified Austrian positions along the Serthe river and the Dneister river Russian aeroplanes have already flown over Lemberg and report that heavy Austrian reinforcements are being sent to the scene. Another strong Russian force is rushing to General Wanaff's assist ance. This column is making from the north^and is said to comprise three army corps. It is the intention of the Russians either to capture or isolate Lemberg before any further advance is made In Eastern Prussia the Russians are pushing toward Koenigsburg, the Prussian outposts having been driver, from their positions on the Allee riv er. The Twentieth German arm} corpsj which suffered severely in the earlier fighting, is now isolated in the forts at Allenstein. The German forces are now massing on new posi tions and are believed preparing for their first real stand. Today .we have our own men in Col ombo, 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 quickest 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 Crades Cost Double About the only crude rubber available now for many makers is inferior. I ordinary times, the best tire makers re fuse it. Much of it has been rejected. But that "off rubber" now sells for much more than we paid for the best. The results are these: Tire prices in general are far in ad vance of Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of supplies, will be forced to use second-grade rubber. Be Careful Now In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade tire as alwa}.*. And that grade won for Goodyears the top pl^ce in Tire domthe largest ^sale in the world. And, for the time being, our prices are the same as before the war.-' We shall try to keep them there. We accept no excessive orders, but dealers will be kept supplied. And we charge them, until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
