HOPES FOR 20 MILES AN
HOUR WITH DISTURBER

! Visitors OF the annual regatta OF the
| Mississippi Valley Power Boat assocf-
alton at Hannibal Mo, July 3. 8 and
[ viii have opportunity 10 see in action
what is without doubt the most re-
markable racing boats ever produced
in America. Admiral Charles ?. Han
/ ley Of the association. has received
personal assurances from Commodore
James A. Pugh of Chicago that his new
2O-foot 1000 H. P. hydroplane. Dis
turber Y" will be entered in the Amer
lean championship for the Webb $1,000
trophy.
Dynamite jim" Pugh built the most
remarkable boat on record last year IN
the "Disturber "" which was taken
to England for the international races
which were postponed upon his arrival
on account Of the war. Wonderful
though this boat was, it did not satisfy
the commodore's appetite for speed, so
he ordered Ned Simmons, his naval
architect. and Frank Deuseuberg, his
motor builder. TO put him up another
boat that would go 20 miles an hour.
This boat IS now nearing completion,
and is the craft which is expected TO
give the celebrated American cham
pions the Baby Alliance family, the
race of their lives 20 retain the title at
Hannibal this year.
Admiral Hanley has also received
the entries OF Baby Wisconsin" OF
Milwaukee, "Billikin" and Hydro Bull
let" of Chicago, and has assurances OF
securing the new Miss Detroit and
new racer being built for Earl G. Fish
er of Indianapolis, for the champion

THE EUROPEAN WAR
CAUSE AND REMEDY.

Editor Majority:
! In the Magazine section of the Pitts
burg Dispatch, Sunday, March 14th,
1915. Guglielmo Ferrero, the great Ital-
ian historian, writing from Turin,
gives what the editor says is the best
history Of the causes preceding the
great European war; and yet this
historian gives only scant histories OF
the nations involved, with the char
acteristics of each, and the jealousies
naturally arising from them repeated
time and again and magnified by the
class which profits from war.
All the inference to be drawn from
this article is racial hatred, and Is
on a par with many others in it's effect
to cover up the real causes and white.
wash the guilty.
I The real cause is world markets to

claims this country will get into war
with the winning nations over the
world markets. World markets or
profits were the real cause of the war.
World markets, or profits, are neces-
sary to contiue the rule of the rich in
their exploitation, without which capt.
talism would come to an end, and will
later because these markets will be
supplied.
Another thing is necessary to con-
tinue capitalism, viz: Militarism,
armies and navies to enforce the rule
Of the rich in their home countries
and to preserve markets in foreign
countries.
Germany had been encroaching on
English and French markets, but alone
these nations feared Germany. Russia
was bankrupt and for so years could
not borrow dollar. The was with
Japan had exhausted her treasury
Now comes a very vital point in the
development of things. The English
millionaires lent Russia money to
build an army for an agreement
ment known as the endemic" as
against the cripple alliance" Ger
many saw trouble and doubled her
efforts to preserve her identity, and
knew she had to strike soon and swift
or she would be lost, hence according
to member of the English Pertinent,
Kier Hardy, the English Millionaires
are responsible for the actual and i'm
mediate cause of the outbreak.
Thus again is it clear that the real
cause is economic. The rectal hatred
and jealousies are kept alive by the
rich for the one purpose of dividing
and ruling.
The same cause led the savages to
war for hunting grounds. The same
cause led the slave holders to cecede
The rich will use the same cause to
plunge our fair country into war il
the exploitation of capitalism is al
lowed to continue.
