Polo Provides ThrIIIs.

The auto polo game. which was carded
as the main thriller OF the day. lived up
to the advertising. The New York team
was victorious over Chicago. But It was
not the outcome that attracted the in
terest but the reckless abandon OF
the drivers, who. in their efforts to turn
quickly turned their machines over time
and again. One machine was hopelessly
smashed In a collision with the other.
Wheels snapped and broke. steering
knuckles cracked. engines caught on fire.
everything imaginable happened. But the
driver and malletman merely jumped into
another machine, while the youthful me-
chanician demonstrated that he is as
good as they make EN- by repairing every
break in the few seconds allotted him
before another car went smash.

Daring Rider Wins Two Out Of

AUTO POLO PROVIDES THRILLS

Birdie Lutz who a week ago appeared
at the Douglas county fair grounds, as
dark horse and carried away first
honors, repeated again yesterday and won
two out of the three motorcycle races on
the program. Lutz COPIED the five and
seven-mile events, but In the fifteen
mile free-for-all. he encountered engine
trouble on the third lap. when already
well in the lead and was forced to drop
out
The fifteen-mile race was a consider
able event despite the accident to Lutx
otto Ramer ripped into the lead upon
Brides retirement and kept II for ten
miles. when suddenly Carl Peterson, rid
ing an old, strap-drive machine. began
to pick up and by more clever riding on
the turns, passed Ramer. Peterson held
the lead until the last lap. when Ramer
passed him and won.
Ramers new machine was much faster
than Peterson's belt-drive and many
times Otto gained fifteen yards on the
stretches, but on the turns Peterson out
rode Ramer and thus made the race
exciting.

FOREIGN INFLUENCES.

The charge that foreign money has
been used to inspire strikers among
American workers in gun and ammu-
nition factories Is plausible, If not
proven.
The fact that color-Germans so en-
ployed have been threatened from
Berlin with court martial on their re-
turn home is right In line with the
German financial scheme to buy up
the American steel works and shut
them down to prevent their aiding the
allies regardless Of the effect upon
American workmen.
If Germany was respecting the laws
of neutrality in this country which has
$1o0,000,000 worth of her ships pro-
tected in it's harbors and 100000 color
men protected by the flag and her
agents were not plotting here in every
criminal way to cripple the enemy she
certainly would be above suspicion.
The American consuls in India are
protecting and feeding German women
in a belligerent country while German
submarines are killing American cit
liens on belligerent ships.
With facts like these staring them
in the face the German government
is not in position to taunt us with
being specially dishonorable.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-07-28
WHAT THE WAR HAS DISCLOSED.

The idea that men past 40 have
begun to deteriorate and at go are
useless, has at last been so hard
pressed that DR.. Osler has been obliged
to say he has been grossly misrepre-
scented.
The present conflict in Europe has
made necessary the retirement of many
young men. and the calling into SER
vice of experienced men from the re-
tired lists.
Gen. Joffre increased the efficiency
Of the French army by discharging
100 generals and calling to his aid a
number OF generals who were past the
age limit, and all Of them have proven
worthy his confidence. General
Manoury. who had been two years in
private life when the war beyan,
proved himself a potential contributor
in winning the battle of the Marine.
Age may not exhibit the force of
youth, but It Is fortified by experience
and Judgment to do what youth can
not.
Thisstdea4 OF throwing down men in
middle life IL brutal as 1t is senseless.

NEW ENGLAND LOOKS WELL.

New England appears wen from a
literary point OF view In the govern
ment library reports.
There are $4,000 libraries, contain
ing 10000. 900 volumes. in the United
States.
OF the 1.S4z public and society IL
braries reported for the entire United
States, more than half were In the
North Atlantic states; and they con-
tanned 24.e27,21 volumes out Of the
total OF fifty millions; and Of the three
million volumes added 20 library col
lections for the year 1913, almost one
half were for the same section. New
York state had 7.842, 621 volumes in
her 214 libraries; Massachusetts, T.
SS0.024 In 2Ss libraries; Pennsylvania,
8, 72S, 070; and Illinois. 3.16s. T65 vol
umes Four-fffths OF the borrowers
cards in use were in the North At
lantic and North Central states.
Library activity for the past year
was marked. according to the Bureau
of Education report, by considerable
extension Of the branch system, par
ticularly in the granting OF library
privileges on the part Of cities to
neighboring suburban communities;
by further development of the coun-
try library plan in many states and
in general by a visible growth in the
spirit of service that is characteristic
of many of the formal educational in
situations of today. The period of the
library as a mere storehouse Of books
seems to be safely past; it has yielded
to period of direct community SER
vice.
New England still looms up for her
mental acumen and literary activity.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-07-28
THE BRITISH WARNING

When Great Britain gave our gov
eminent notice of the presence and
activity of German spies here that
government was forced to disclose
that she too has spies here.
Governments spy upon governments
in times of peace as well as in times
Of war, and we always have spies of
all nations with US gathering infor-
nation to quiet or disturb the coun-
tries they represent.
The maintenance Of our neutrality
has called for an increase Of our Sc
cret service men and this government
is spending millions Of dollars to keep
track of million or more Of color
men and secret service men of other
countries who are doing what they can
here to interfere with legitimate bus
mess and checkmate one another.
Germany is not the only country
in this regard. and the representatives
of all other belligerent nations viii
bear watching as well as the Germans.
