RACING PROGRAM
BEST YET Given
Horses Entered at Aledo Will
Go to State Fair Fol-
lowing Week.

The racing at 61st annual Mercer
Is, 16. II and IS, is expected to be
the best trotting meeting to be held in
this section of Illinois in the month
of September. Requests for stable
reservations and entry blanks are
coming in so lively that Secretary
E. r. Petrie declares the big equip
ment of barns for the racers will
be filed to overflow. Not in years
has the prospect for such a field of
horses been so bright for the Mer-
Ger county fair.
Some of the crack mile track
horses of the Illinois and Iowa cir
cults and practically all of the horses
from the half-mile tracks are headed
for Aledo and many of them will ship
from there direct to the Illinois state
fair at Springfield the following week.
Special train service on both the
Burlington road and the Rock Island
Southern will bring thousands of peo-
pie to this great county fair, while hun
dreds of automobiles will carry many
more. A tract of 10 acres is provided
for the parking of the autos.
No less interesting will be the large
exhibits of cattle, in the new cattle
pavilion and the horse show. These
departments are always prominent at
Mercer county fair because they in
clude herds from a half dozen states.
This year there will be on the ground
a number of herds which have been
winning at state fairs in the middle
west. A special provision has been
made which will permit the herds
showing at the Mercer county fair
to enter four days late at the Hi
nois state fair, thus insuring a COM
plete show at the Aledo fair.

VILLA WILL HEAD
 NEW REVOLUTION
Has Been Buying Large Quantities of War Supplies-Wiil Join Gen.
 eral Maytorena.

NACO, Ariz., Sept. 23.-Indications here point to the fact that General Villa. with his forces of 30,000 train ed fighters, will join with General Maytorena, of Sonora, in the rebel lion against General Carranza, now acting provisional president of Mex leo.
 Since President Wilson lifted the embargo on arms and ammunition General Villa has purchased millions of rounds of ammunition and many new machine guns besides field pieces. He has also retained all of the pieces captured from the federal army.
 Villa will start with the largest army that has ever been used in a rebellion against constitutional or provisional government in Mexico and has complete control of several northern states.
 It is expected that Carranza will make concessions to Villa if possible. as he cannot expect to successfully cope with Villa, who is considered the best military man in the repub- lic Villa insists that Carranza re- sign as provisional president or else announce that he will not be a can didate for president at the coming election as the constitution requires that no president or provisional presi- dent succeed himself.

PASSES
 HARBOR BILL Provides for Only $20,o00,0 ,000 Appro- priation-House Is Expected To
 Fight Measure.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The Senate yesterday afternoon prompt ly passed the Rivers and Harbors bill demanded by the Republicans, who were aided by sixteen Democrat ic senators. The bill provides for an appropriation of $20,000,000 in- stead of $54,0OO.00O, as at first plan ned.
 The bill was sent to the House, which is expected to fight the meas ure, as the House is largely Demo. cratic and almost every congressman has had some pet item showed out of the bill by the senators. They insist that the appropriations are needed and that in times like the present the government should spend as much money as possible, while in good times it matters little. Pros perity, they assert can be brought back quicker by the government con- tinuing public works than by stopping them.

office states that the Russian plans require a number of large armies, one to operate in Galicia, another to push through Selicia into Ger many, third to invade Germany from Poland and to besiege Breslau, while still another will operate in East Prussia and continue to hold the three German army corps in Konigsberg.
 Will Force Germans To Bring Large
 Forces East.
 It is expected by this means to force the Germans to weaken their line in France because it will require large force of men to block the Russian advance, especially now that the Austrians have been so decisive ly whipped.
 Expose Plan of Operation.
 The Russians plan to push forward wherever the German line is weak est should the forces of the kaiser be strengthened in East Prussia, the Russian army in Selicia or Poland or both will advance and should the East Prussian army be weakened then the Russians near Konigsberg will advance.

WILSON INSISTS
 COAL BILL PASS Will Force Congress To Push Through the Coal Leasing Bill Demanded
 By the Administration.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Late yesterday afternoon President Wilson sent for several senators and urged upon them the great need for the immediate passage of the adminis- tration coal land leasing bill for Alaska and insisted that congress take immediate action because the coal was needed not only as com mercial necessity for the people of Alaska and the Pacific coast, but al- so as a military measure.
 It is expected that with the active support of the administration the Walsh coal land bill will be pushed through the Senate within a month.
 (This is the bill denounced by the delegate in a recent speech in Seat tie. The delegate is now touring Alaska for reelection, while big prob lens for the north are under discus sion in Washington. The pay of the delegate is s7500 a year and mile- age for 5000 miles, also a tidy sum. -Ed.)

BOSTON CERTAIN
 ID WIN PENNAN7
Defeat of Giants By Chicago and Vic- tory for Boston Over Pittsburq
 Almost Settles Fight.

BOSTON, Sept. 23.-When New York lost to Chicago yesterday Bos- ton in the meantime defeating Pitts burg, the race for the pennant in the National League was decided, the rag going to Boston. The race for the pennant in the parent organization this year was the greatest in the history of the league, and If it had not been for the European war, what started out to be a disastrous season would have developed into the big gest financial success.
 Boston on July 4th was in last place and looked to be pretty we'll settled in that position. Suddenly they took a winning streak and went steadily to the top and today have cinched the pennant. The race in the American League was decided months ago, Philadelphia being so far ahead there was no chance of being over- taken.
 The National Commission is ex- pected to decide within the next two or three days where the opening games of the world series will be played.
