the International, replaced the
French tricolor with the red flag
of international good will. The red
flag has been carried by the peo-
pie in conflict, but il is mistaken
idea that IL is primarily an emblem
of conflict. Red is recognized
among the nations as the emblem
of peace. The merchant marine of
England carry a red ensign indi-
eating that the ships are engaged
in peaceful occupation. The small
three-cornered red flag at the top
of the mast has a similar signifi-
canoe with many nations. The red
cross is everywhere recognized as
the emblem of mercy and peace.
AS adopted by the socialists, the
red flag typifies life, as it has
from the earliest days; it typifies
the blood bond, the common an
cestry of all mankind; it typfies
revolution, not vengeful, but order
ly planned, forcing society ever on
ward and upward toward civili-
cation under which the human fam
lily will not be divided by classes;
and the red flag typifies peace"

ALLAN AUTOMOBILE RACES
VIII BE Held November 9th to 18th.
Great Preparations.

Building a 2-mile race track where
the ponderous machines can fairly
fly through space, and where a speed
Of $50 miles an hour is made possl-
bic, Is not an ordinary undertaking
by any means. Thousands Of men,
hundreds Of teams, and many giant
steam shovels, are required to re-
move the dirt for the formation Of
this great track. Seating capacity
for thousands of spectators, and
other things for their accommodate
| ton, are necessary. Houses have
been built for the storing Of ma
chimes, grand stands have to be
erected, and railroad facilities have
to be looked after, in order to han
die the vast crowds going to such
places.
All of these things are being done
by the Atlanta Automobile Associa-
ton, a company composed Of bust
ness men and sportsmen, that is now
building the fastest automobile
race track in the world" The work
will be finished early In October, and
the first race meet will begin on No
vember 9th, continuing for five days.
The Atlanta Automobile Associa-
ton is composed of enterprising men,
who have put 100000 into the en-
terprise, for the purpose Of giving
the South the biggest automobile rae
ing plant In the United States. There
Is not n dollars worth of stock
either owned or controlled by any
one in any way connected with the

The entry list for the November
meet will be one Of the largest in the
history of automobile racing. The
weather conditions that usually exist
In the South during November, and
even later In the winter. are particu-
larly favorable for automobile rae
ing Besides bringing thousands to
view the races, the big track will also
be the cause Of scores Of automobile

THOSE WHO HAVE FAILED.

The dream of finding the North
Pole for centuries lured explorers,
scientists, and daring adventures.
This dream apparently has now be-
come a reality by the achievement
of DR.. Frederick A. Cook, of Brook
lyn. DR.. Cook cabled a Iaconic mes
sage from Lerwick, Shetland Islands,
whence he is proceeding to Copenha-
gen, saying:
Successful. Well. Address
Copenhagen. Fred"
Several days must now elapse be-
fore any further Information is avail
able. The Danish government
steamer Hansgede has left Lerwick,
Shetland Islands, for Copenhagen,
where she is due next Saturday.
Meantime the ship skirts the Danish
coast. passing several small points
which are being closely watched for
further particulars of DR.. Cook.
Some Of the most recent or note
worthy attempts to reach the North
Pole are enumerated below.

with much greater pride to the fact
that l travelled around more than
10000 square miles of hitherto un-
known ground, and opened up an
entirely fresh field for exploration"
No Fake story.

Full of meaning, If "successful'
were interpreted to indicate that he
had reached the North Pole, the
foregoing cable message, eXasperat-
ing in it's briefness, was received in
New York to-day from Dr.. Frederick
A. Cook, the American explorer,
whom the latest cable advice to-
night credits with having accom-.
plished what no man ever did.
The message was sent not to any
scientific society nor to any of his
associates interested in his expedi-
tion from a scientific viewpoint, but
to his wife, who has been counting
the days and hours and praying for
his safety since his departure from
this city on July 4, 1907.
But by chance Mrs. Cook was not
at her Brooklyn home, but spending
the summer at Harpswell, Maine, SO
the dispatch was received by Dr.. r.
II. Davidson, a personal friend Of
the explorer, who made it's contents
known, then flashed the good news
to Mrs. Cook. Brief as it was, the
first news from her intrepid hus-
band since March II, 1908, when
he wrote from Cape Hubbard, on
the edge Of the Polar ice sea, on the
Northwest side of Ellesmere Land.
At that time he advised his COM
panion, Rudolph FRANKIE, then sta
toned at Etah, Greenland, with sup
plies, to wait there until June for his
return, but in the event of DR..
Cooks failure to appear to proceed
to America.
FRANKIE waited as instructed, but
as DR.. Cook failed to come back, he
caught the Peary auxiliary ship and
reached New York last fall. Since
that time DR.. Cooks whereabouts
have been a mystery, although mem
bers of the Arctic Club in this city,
viewing the situation optimistcally
were inclined to think that he had
reached the Pole, despite his long
silence.
There was, of course, the ever
present probability that he had per-
ished, and it. will be recalled that a
relief ship is now Ell route to Etah
where\she is due the middle of Sep
tember. The vessel, the schooner
Jeanie, left St. Johns, New Found
land, about two weeks ago with
the double purpose of searching for
DR.. Cook and takingS supplies to
Commander Peary. The expedition
was financed by special committee
headed by DR.. Roswell o. Stebbins,
or this city, and composed of friends
of Dr.. Cook and men of science who
were most keenly Interested in his
venture. TO these men the news
that he was safe and the report that
he had reached the Pole were receiv-
ed with rejoicing tonight, although
none of them had any further ad-
vices.
No official action was taken to-
night by the Arctic Club, the Explor.
ers' Club, or the American Geo
graphical Society, for none Of these
associations had received any for
NAL notification OF DR.. Cooks sue
cess. Arthur M. Huntington, presi
dent of the American Geographical
Society, is out Of the city, as Is lie. r
Admiral w. s. Schley, president of
the Arctic Club. The officers of the
Explorers Club could not be found.
