PRINCE ADMITS LOVE FOR PRETTY YVONNE "Couldn't Expect Mo to Detest Her?" MtekinoiT Asks at Sep aration Suit Trial CECIL MADE BRITISH BLOCKADE MINISTER Choice of New Cabinet Officer Wins Commendation of London Press LONDON, Feb. 23. Lord Robert Cecil, Parliamentary Under Secretary for For eign Affairs, has been appointed Minister of Blockade, a neyly created post. Today ho attended n Cabinet meeting for tho first time In his new capacity. Tho appointment meets with eeneral ap proval by tho press. Tho Dally Chronlclo Bays : "Lord Robert Cecil has proved himself an administrator nnd ruler of real cour age and sagacity. Llho his father beforo him, he alway8 shows character and knows his own mind," The Times gives hearty approval to tho choice nnd welcomes the new step on two grounds: First, on account of the ad vantages it will bring in tho administra tion of tho maritime policy, and second, "as a significant advanco in tho reorgan ization of our peace government upon a war footing." The Dally Telegraph thinks that one of the first acts of tho new regime will be to Jettison tlio Declaration of London, which It says already to all Intents and purposes Is dead. Tho whole question of tho blockado -wa threshed out at considerable length In the upper house last night. Baron Sydenham and Baron Beresford making the principal nppeals for a stricter block ade, while tho Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord Buckmaster defended tho Govern ment. It was Lord Beresford's mnlden speech In the House of Lords and his plea was spirited and epigrammatic, contrasting notably with tho usual sombre, ultra dignified debates of the upper house. "There is Borne doubt," he began, "whether tho Government is going about Us task In the right way. A war was never won by orders-ln-councll or proc lamations, but by hard hitting. "The war Is being conducted by 21 amateurs, who know nothing about It. (The Coalition Ministry contains 21 mem bers.) It should bo run by live Cabinet Ministers without departmental duties. The longer wo have civilian control of the operations of tho war, the mora dis asters wo shall suffer."

Prince Mlsklnoff Is tho fourth husband tho Princess has had, Tho Trlnces admitted that ho had kissed Yvonncs hand, but Bald ho had dono so In the presence of his wife. "My feelings toward tho girl wero al ways gcntlo nnd nlmnblc," said tho Prlnco, and then, no ho turned his .eyes upon tho beautiful girl, ho added: "You couldn't oxpect mo to detest you, could you?" Tho Prlnco also admitted that his at tachment for Yvonne grow nnd that thoy becamo engaged oven beforo tho present suit waB stnrted. "Tho Princess nnd I -were to bo divorced nnd then Yvonno and I wero to bo mar ried and go to Cuba to live," said tho witness.

After weckB of hammering nt the Aus trian position thbro with their big guns thoy aro now within striking dlstanco of the city of Trent, tho capital of the Tyrol. Tho Italian campaign has had two great .objectives Gorlzla, on tho Carso platoati, northeast of Trieste, nnd Trent. Tho mouhtnlnous region of Cnllo, which had to bo captured bofore Trent could bo nttacked, Is now In tho Itnllnns' hands, according to the ofTlelal report from Bomo last night. Tho stronghold of Trent, some 25 miles north of tho Austro-Itnllan frontier, is protected on tho north, east and south by a line of modern and heavily nrmed forts. Tho region Just captured Is only 1G miles onst of theso forts, and It Is under stood thnt preparations for their bom bardment will now bo actlVoly advanced. Tho official statement Issued by tho Italian War Office last night says: "In the Sugana Valley, by their meth odical offenslvo action, our troops have completed tho mountainous zono of Colto, botweon tho Torrents of Larganza nnd Cognlo.

"During tho night of February 18-19, by n fresh rush, our troops extended tho ground occupied westward toward tho Saddle of Monto Cola, Tho new positions slnco then hnvo been solidly reinforced, and they protect tho basin of tho Borgo country, "Bonehl nnd noncegno havo been occu pied by us." Until now operations east of Trent have been unimportant border fighting, but Bonccgno Is more than 10 miles within tho Austrian frontier nnd close to the rail way which follows tho valley of the Brenth, linking Trent with tho Italian provinces of Plncenza nnd Venezla.

W "HEN there aroset in the Tire Industry, a sound of Many Voices. each clamoring: that ita Owner hnd the veni best Non-Skid" de&ian that ever did happen . u. . ITl?uv m.ih IJu C li Va nni J hmI tJMiiiii ala Aw In . .""'n. on u iire, uur jriiueasiunui uuuu utuu, iviui iuuui vnutuic, jivu us Traction without Friction I" We are glad to have met that "Poser" more than half-way. Here's how and why. Makers of "Non-Skid" Tires, in a mad effort to produce maxi mum Traction, have done the very natural thing: of being too suc cessful. Too successful in gaining Traction, not merely through "Non Skid" designs, but through providing a sandpapery texture in Tire Tread Rubber which grinds against the pavement, wearing out as it grinds. Of course such Treads HAD to bo made very thick, and the Tires very HEAVY, in order not to wear out too soon under such constant grinding, with such constant strain on the Rubber Adhesive i between the many layers of Fabric in their necessarily cumbrous construction. Of course, Buch Tires -were heavy in that part of the Car below tho Springs where Engineers say that every pound of weight counts as more than twenty pounds placed above the Bprings. But beyond all this, their great thickness, the many layers of Fabric, and the stoat Tread of gritty, sandpapery, Rubber, made them naturally stiff", unyielding, hard to bend, and conform where obstacles were struck, hard to drive with moderate power, and slow to coast down hills (which proved all this).. The tntention was good, but the result was a relatively hot, stiff, Tire, with a Traction-wave to overcome that went far toward' boosting the Sales of Gasolene. Well, Making the Silvertown Cord Tire, taught lis a few lessons in thei manufacture of lighter, cooler, more flexible and enduring FABRIC Tires. TI I HE Silvertown" Tire, you know, gains its marvellous Speed (and the Coasting qualities that demonstrate its Speed) primarily throucrh haviner onlu TWO lavers of Jords, laid transversely. Of course, these TWO layers bend more readily than Five, Six, or Seven Layers of Fabric do (or of Cord would). But, we found it necessary, in order to conserve that,7exi&iKl!j (in the Two-cord construction), to put a Rubber Tread over it which was equally flexible, equally strong, and elastic enough to act as a Bort of spring between the Earth and the Tire-casing, when Brakes were thrown on at stopping, or clutch thrown in at starting. So, we had to devise practically a new kind of Rubber, tot this purpose TWO YEARS AGO. This new type of black "Barefoot Rubber" now does for GOODRICH Tires a work similar to that done by the wonderful Alloys of Steel and Bronze in modern Motor Car construction. Itmxdtiplies Rubber Efficiency, for Tire purposes, while decrease xng its Weight, and without increasing its Bulk, orita Cost to you. A.
