Although the dispatches of Sir John
French as to the recent battle have
not yet been received, it is possible

ish share in the recent operations.
There has, in fact. been a four days
battle-on the 29rd, oath, 25th and 26th
of August. During the whole of this

Races Not Carried Out

The motorcycle races on the beach
scheduled for last Saturday afternoon
were postponed just after the first event
had been contested. 1t was impossible
to further continue the events as the
immense crowd and the rapidly rising
tide made 1t dangerous to riders and
spectators. The races proved a
thing. The beach is not the place for
motorcycle racing. In the future the
races will be conducted OF the Wild
wood Crest boulevard and the post
poned events will be held just as soon
as the course can be put into condition
which will be In about two weeks.
Carl Myers, q Philadelphia racer,
won the first prize In the only event
ran of last Saturday, the free for all at
one mile. He drove an Indian stock
car and bis trophy was a handsome
gold watch. Claude bchofield, on q
Flying Merkle, finished second. He
also was awarded q gold watch. Jack
Thompson, of Germantown, OF an
Indian cycle was third. He was given
a handsome coat set, consisting of a
watch chain, stick pip and q tie holder.
Representatives of all the principal
motor cycle manufacturing concerns
were present with q number of well
known expert riders, but refused to
enter on account of the conditions but
promised that they would attend the
next meeting. To encourage the motor
cyclists of Cape May County, the next
races will be for county boys only and
the committee will leave no stone I'M
turned to encourage and please them.

GERMAN SHIPS BEARING
ARMS AND AMMUNITION
Their Arrival at Tampico May Com.
plicate Condition of
Affairs.
Representatives Of OIL Interests Fear
United States Is Playing
Into Villas Hands.

Reports have reached senators through
representatives of American oil interests
In Tampico Of an impending situation in
that port which may complicate an al
ready precarious condition Of affairs. 1t
is said that four German merchant ships
loaded with arms and ammunition for sale
In Mexico are now approaching Tampioo.
These munitions Of war. It is said. are
to be offered for sale to whichever fac
ton controls the port when the ships
arrive
II the United States had taken possess
sion Of the Tampico customhouse. as 1t
did Of the customhouse at Vera Cruz
the ships would not be allowed to land
their cargo. and neither Villa nor Huerta
could receive the arms. Some of the oil
men, who are very bitter because Of the
alleged lack OF protection given property
interests by this government, have COM
planned to senators that the United States
by refraining from occupying Tampico
is virtually playing into the hands Of
Villa. who is expected to capture the
port. and to enable him to supply himself
with this much-desired addition to his
military resources.
Secretary Daniels, however has denied
this insinuation. and in his statement
has declared that the failure of the United
States to take Tamptco. the scene of the
original outrage. which caused the move
ment of American forces into Mexico,
was upon the advice Of the British adj
miral in command. That officer urged
Admiral Mayo not to move his ships into
Tampico. as in his opinion it would GER
tainly result in outbreaks which would
menace the lives Of Americans in Tam
pico, Tuxpan and neighboring cities
1t was pointed out that some 200 Amer
lean refugees were only saved by the ac
ton of a British officer in hosting the
British flag over the cavalcade and es-
corting them to the wharf for transfer
to ships lying in the harbor.

PARIS, May S.-Statements published
in the United States that French opinion
concerning the Mexican situation is hos

forth protests In the French press. the
most authoritative Of which appears in
the Figaro today from the pen. of Gabriel

tons.
THE noisy manifestations in certain

nate with certain interests but generally
the vast difficulty with which the United
States Is faced is perfectly recognized
here. France has large material inter-
ests in Mexico and desires an end of the
anarchy and the establishment of peace

United States is trying to bring about.
1T is thoroughly understood that no
regime in Mexico could be esta blished
or last without the approval. and. to a
certain extent, the help of the United

While not believing for a moment the
talk Of conquest, NJ. Hanotaux points
out that the best way to bring conquest
about would be by placing the United
States in an untenable position by in
sulting her national pride.
