Antwerp—Brand Whitlock, former mayor of Toledo, Is recelvltiK the | praise of all Hrussela and Is KIVAU j credit for having saved the city from \ possible destruction. As American minister to Belgium Mr Whitlock asked the burgomaster to abandon his proposed defenae by the civil guards in order to prevent useless bloodshed and to save the city's famous buildings and works of art. The civil guards wero thereupon disbanded and the city was surren dered When the Germans attempted to commandeer all foodstuffs In the city Mr. Whitlock figuratively took the bull by the horns. Ha notified the German commander that the foreigners under his protection aa American miniater had equal rights with the Germane and threatoned to hold him responsible If they were deprived of food. Washington. Brand Whitlock, American minister to Belgium, from whom nothing Kad been hefrd for sev eral days. Anally succeeded In gettlni a cablegram through to the American government from Hrussels, which he reported to be In German handa, but complete!? "surrounded by arralee en gaged In active operations." s Mr Whitlock did not move tne American lOg'atlon with the Belgian court when the seat of government was taken from Brussels to Antwerp, but remained behind, together with most of the o|her neutral ministers. It develops that through the influ ence of the American minister and the Spanish minister the burgomaater of Brussels was persuaded not to make a fight because of the fatal conse quences which would have followed bombardment of the defenseless city. Mr Whltlock's telegram follows:. Acting under the discretionary powers granted, 1 decided that my duty lay here in Hrussels. The Spanish min ister reached the same conclusion, aB did the ministers of 17 other neutral powers The representatives who went to Antwerp were the French, Russian and British ministers, whose nations are Involved as belligerents, and some others who went for per sonal reasons, "Already Intrusted with German In- here. I subsequently took over t#e British legation and the protection of a large resident British colony. "Owtug to the disinterested position of the United States 1 have been able to give services for which I have been thanked by the German commanding general, by representatives of the British colony, by the interparlia mentary unions and by an official of the Belgian foreign office on behalf of the king "The Spanish minister and I made representations to the burgomaster be fore the occupation of Brussels, which, In connection with other considera tions. led him to abandon his intention of attempting a futile defenae of the city, which might have brought on a bombardment with all its terrible con sequences. "The position of our legation In this conflict Is unique, and happily ao de tached that, being ent'.rely without ap prehension aa to our personal aafety, we have been able to give certain hu mane service, scrupulously observing meanwhile all the requirements of our neutral position." _ e Rejans Cares for Children Paris.—Gabrlelle Rejane, the French actreaa detained by the war in the Norman village of Hennequevil, la do ing her part by feeding and* otherwise caring for all poor French children in that neighborhood.

Cost of Great European Conflict Ke timated to Bo $54,000J000 QoUy —Coin and Bullion In tho National Bank*. By HERBERT TEMPLE. European Manager of tIM Internation al New* Service. London. Men and gvns, battleship* and aeroplanes are necessary tor war, 1 of course, but th« prime requisite of modern warfare la money. Financial resources are the real of war" I and, lu a long drawn out conlltct, j money IH more necessary oven than j aoldtera, arma and ammunition. . It haH been estimated by experts that with Germany, Kngland. Franco. Kuaala, Austria-Hungary and Hervla at war, the dally coat will aggregate $64.- 000,000. If Italy, Holland, Turkey and the Halkan atatea get Into the ooo fllot, 1100,000,000 would b* a fair «afl rnato of tho dally money coat of tha huge conflagration. _ Tho Gorman relchatag at tho outaot voted morb than $1,000,000,000 fdr war. The British parliament voted ovet 9500,000,000 at flret and followed thla with another 9600,000,000 making the total IlrHlah appropriation 9V 000,000,000. The Ruaalan war appro prlatlona have topped tho billion dol lar mark, and Fraqce haa aot boon behind. In a gigantic war like the one now on, the bankera of tha world are per hapa more powerful than the rulera of the natlona Involved. The Importance of the financial fac tor haa never been more obvious than now when the European war haa thrown tho atock azchangea and bouraes of the world out of bualnaas. When so vital a part of the financial structure la taken away, all tho usual data that go to indicate a nation's fl nanclnl standing become to a great ex tent valueless, but they are atlll of uae for purposes of rough comparison Of the amount of hard caah that the warring nations of Europe have at their command, the returna of the Rtate bunks are the best guide avail able. According to recent weekly re turns, the five great powers now at war have the following amounts of coin and bullion In tbalr central banks: Franco, $048,500,000; Russia. $872,600,000; Germany, 9422,600,000; Auatiia-Hungary, 9321,000,000; Great Britain, 9201,000.000. Theae could only become available aa a war cheat If tholr primary func tion as backing for paper currency and credit were suspended. They are of greateat value when ezerclalng that function. Although England's central gold reaerve la the smalleat of the Ave. it la said In banking circles to be the most valuable because It forms the backing of an Immense volume of credit of International value. It is only on the ssaumptlon that the great credit ayatem of the Euro pean natlona at war ahould fall utter ly to the ground, that thoy would have to fall back upon tholr gold reserve* to pay for the munltlona of war. In such an event, even the vast to proprlatlona of the countries would not go far toward paying the $64,000,- 000 dally that la tho estimated coat of tho big war. They are all forced to borrow heavily and It la thus that the world's great benkora become fac tors In the European conflagration. Until' national credita fall, credit rather than actual poaaeaalon of geld muat be the aource of tho wherewith al for military operatlona. Even Ger many's great special war cheet of $30,- 000.000 gold counts* for little while credit laats. In conaiderlng the comparative abil ity of European countries to raise money, It muat bo borne In mind that the exiatence of the groat war. Involv ing nearly all tho powers, necoesarlly limits oach government's credit to Its own territory and that of Its triends and allies. >- Tires at Before-War Prices Goodyear Prices It it Folly Today to Pay More 30 x 3 Plain Tread . . $11.70 30 z 3'H " 44 . . . 15.75 34x4 " - . . 2435 36x4 >4 " 14 . . . 35.00 37 x 5 " - . 41.95 Thar* exists now a new, compelling reason for buying 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 rery wide difference between most tire prices and Good years. Due to Quick Action Early in August—when war began—the world's rubber marking geuined cloned to us. Itubber prices doubled almost over night. Men could sec no way to pay for rubber abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like otliers-—in that panic—were forced to higher prices. But we have since gone bark to prices we charged before the war, and this is how we did it: We had men in Tjondon and Singapore when the war broke out. The larger part of the world's rubber supply •*conjen through there. We cabled them to buv up the pick of the rub ber. They bought—before the advance—l,soo,- 000 pounds of the fluent rubber there. Nearly all this in 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 J'ara. Those are the world's chief sources of rubber. So we arc pretty well assured of a constant supply, and our pick of the best that's produced. - We were first on the ground. We wero quick est in action. As a result, we shall soon have in REWARDS OF VALOR Crosses of Honor Will Be Won in the European War.

Washington—Some of the soldiers of England, France and Germany In the present war WMjuestlonably will win the crosses of honor which are tho most coveted decorations which gov ernments give for arte 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 sional Medal of Honor which is give BATTLE-TORN STANDARDS OF BELGIANS V Photograph of Belgian cavalry during the fighting about Liege, showing standards torn to ribbon* by the Germans. BEYOND THE ORIENTAL MIND Present Craze for Dancing la Some thing Indiana and Japaneae Do Not Underatand. —— ' A feature of the lx>ndon season is the revival In dancing; people are now Interested not only in watching the "professional stage dancer of either •ex but in dancing themselves. In dians and Japanese alike express their astonishment at the European prac- Uoe of rushing about In ballroom*. storage an almost record supply of this extra grade of rubber. And we paid June prices. Now Inferior Grades Coat Double About the only crude rubber available now for many makers is inferior.V In ordinary time®, the beat tire makers refuse m Much of it had 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 adranre of Goodveart. And many tire makers, short of supplies, will be forced to use second-grade rubber. Be Careful Now In Goodveara we pledge you the same grade tire as always. And that grade won for Good years the top place in Tiredom—the largest sale in the worl«. And, for the time being, our prices sre the same an before the war. We shall try to keep them there. We accept no excessive orders, but dealers will be k»'pt supplied. And we charge them, until further notice, only ante-bellum prices. That means that Goodyeara—the beat tires built—are selling way below other tires. COOD^YEAR AKRON.

The Intrlnalc value of of these badges is abot|t one cent, and yet for the wear ing them soldiers seem always ready to tread Gray's "palhs of glory." The French decoration was flrat granted under Napoleon In the early part of the preaent century; the Vic toria Cross was Instituted during the Crimean war and the American medal of honor was flrat atruck 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 sailora. In the armies of all three nations officer and private, peasant and prince, have equal chancea of wearing that which nothing but atteated bravery can buy. The first Victoria Cross granted for bravery In the South African war was given to Col lan 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 tor which the Victoria Cross has beel\ awarded shows that fully one-half of the most Mistrlking exhibitions of heroism have To thw Oriefital mind fahclng is something that should be done pro fessionally, to amuse tbe host and guests looking on.

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,ls now a man seventy-two years old. and for 57 years of that time he has been wear ing the Victoria Cross, and has had the right to write V. C. after his cams. This boy In the year 1867, amid nhow er of shot and shells, fastened bags of gunpowder on the gatea of Delhi. He carried death In his arma that day and met It In other forma all along his way.
