CACTUS DERBY PUT
CARS TO SEVERE TEST
Paige Maps Out New Route For
Famous Los Angeles; PhOe-
nix Road Race

The eyes of the motoring public
will turn westward November when
the Los Angeles-Phoenix road race,
known as the Cactus Derby, will be
run. This will be the seventh annual
start of the Pacific Coast Classic, and
the victorious driver who pilots his car
successfully through desert sands and
up and down the preciptous mountain
trails will be crowned Master Driver
of the World" In addition to the title
he will receive a purse of $1,000
silver cup and other awards.
The route selected will be entirely
different from any hitherto used.
Some time ago Leon T. Shelter, chalr-
imam of the racing committee OF tne
Western Automobile Association, map
ped out a new route using a rage
"36" as a pathfinder. The PalSe pc
haved so satisfactorily in this trying
work that two others have been en-
tered as regular contestants Tor tne
1914 Cactus Derby honors.
The new route, which will be COW
cred in three days and is 69l miles
long, is north of any hitherto used.
1t runs from Los Angeles to san
Bernardino, thence over the Santa Fe,
Grand Canyon, Needles National High
way to Ash Fork, Arizona, thence
south through Prescott to Phoenix.
The first night control is at Needles
lust west of the Colorado river and
the second night control is at Pres
colt.
Here and there splendid highways
and hard desert roads will enable the
contestants to speed their cars to the
limit, but other sections offer the
worst road conditions conceivable.
Only one who has covered the course
in a racing car can realize what
driver and his mechanic suffer in the
Phoenix race. Cars start out in per-
ect condition and finish with bearings
Ioosened motor shaky, aXles bent,
truss rods broken, transmission shaken
out. tires eaten up, brakes worn out,
steering knuckles bent and barely
holding up under the strain. Cars
which start out with speed of so
or 90 miles an hour reach Phoenix
with but 40 or so miles on tap. But
the driver and his mechanic suffer
too.
At the finish of the Cactus Derby
the men who have crossed the desert
in the racing cars are bruised about
the back and limbs sometimes for
days Their hands are swollen, their
lips are chapped and bleeding, their
| eyes full Of sand which seeps behind
the goggles and their feet are swol-
len. The factory officials do not know
what their cars go through in that
great race on the desert trail and the
public does not realize what the driver
will have to stand up under to win
the seventh annual Cactus Derby.

IN THE WAR ZONE,
What They MEAN
BY ]. w. n. MASON.
rmer European Manager of the
United Press.

NEW YORK. Oct 16.-The de-
struction of the British light cruiser
Hawke, by a German submarine, rep
resents exclusively, a gain in morale
for Germany. From the point Of
view Of sea power, the loss of the
vessel is without Importance. The
Hawke had no offensive strength
under modern naval conditions. being
twenty-three years old and destined
for quick retirement
Nevertheless. the success OF the
German submarines have a value
quite apart from the actual losses
suffered by the rival fleets. The Ger
man navy has never had an opportu-
nifty to demonstrate its fitness, and
the skill and initiative of its officers
under hostile conditions have been
unknown quantities to themselves as
we'll as TO the rest Of the world. The
victories won under the sea will give
a confidence to the German sailors
that undoubtedly will stir them to
greater effort.
In this fact lies the possibility for
an ultimate sweeping victory for
Great Britain. A few more minor
victims fallen to submarine attacks
may rouse the German naval COM
manders to such a pitch of enthusi-
asm as to cause a desperate attempt
TO drive the English from the seas
The German battle fleet may ventur,
forth and risk a surface engagement
with the greatly superior British
squadrons. Such a conflict, II Ger
many were successful. would win tn
war for her
The chances against a German vic
tory are much more than the tw
to one superiority of the British war
ships. One heavyweight prize fighte
attacked by two others. when all ar
in first-class condition. has far les
than one chance In three OF winine
At the same time, a possibility O
success does exist This possibility
undoubtedly is increased in magma
tiOn among German sailors by the
submarine success. If the German
warships come out from their har.
bors of safety and attempt to de.
stroy the British navy, perhaps tho
chief factor in the situation will be
the psychological effect Of the subma-
rine raids.
Five British warships, which have
been sunk by submarines were cruis-
ers, with no first line strength. The
chief aim of the German naval strate-
gists is TO work destruction amonr
these first line units.
How effective the submarine will
become in an open fight, only time car
tell. British submarines greatly out
number the German, and unprecedent
ed exploits may result.

LONDON. Oct. 16.-England has
lost another cruiser through the ac-

The cruiser Hawke. utilized for scout

The disaster took place yesterday

that the cruiser had been lost The
