NEARING A WAR BASIS

LuXuries are disappearing from the
railroad time tables. AS decreed by
the War Board, the number of special
trains will be reduced, excursions will
be eliminated and for seperate SER
vice mixed trains-freight and pas
senger-will be substituted Dining
and restaurant cars will lose their
elaborate bills of far, and observa-
ton cars will become uncommon.
Through service will be consolidated,
there will be a great curtailment of
ordinary schedules, and, wherever
practical, locomotives now otherwise
utilized will be released for freight.
Orders to these and other effects
have been issued "to secure. the maxi
mum transportation energy for the
successful conduct of the war" They
signify that the interests of the car
riers are to be subordinated to- tnose
of the country as belligerent. In
final solution they spell patriotism.
1t is no impairment of the truth of
this statement to say that of course
the Federal authorities have power to

waiting for tie exercise of any spe-
cies of force. Of its own volition it
is preparing to meet all the necessi-

TRAINING A NATION

The Presidents call for 100000
troops in his select-draft proclama-
ton is quickly followed by his pro-
posed conscription of the food grow
ing and distributing agencies of the
country. About one in twenty of the
men of military age will be summoned
to the colors, whereas all who have
to do with food are expected to CO.
operate in the prosecution of the
war. To be able to deal with such
as may refuse or resist, he asks of
Congress extraordinary powers.
Heretofore it has been the habit of
the United States to raise armies by
the volunteer system, leaving all per-
sons not thus enrolled free to do as
they pleased-too often, it must be
said, to take advantage of the situa-
ton for personal gain. Mr.. Wilson
now assumes that the American peo-
pie have volunteered in mass and
that the duty devolving upon Govern
ment is not alone the creation of a
great army, but, by selective methods,
the organization of the whole Nation.
in some capacity, for war.
In naming Herbert C. Hoover as
Food Administrator the President
gives an excellent illustration of his
meaning. Mr.. Hoover and most of
his assistants are to serve without
pay. They take it for granted that
the great commercial associations,
long accustomed to tne ethics only of
the market-place, will voluntarily
subordinate private to public inter-
ests. They hope by regulation and
administration to increase supplies,
to hold speculation in check, to ia
cilitate distribution, to prevent hoard
ing and to maintain reasonable prices.
They are to be counsellors and not
dictators, except as last resort. They
must have law behind them, but the
law will be used only against the in
corrigible.
Prompt recognition by every ele-
ment of the population of this splen-
did vision of a democracy at war
without expectation of individual pro-
fit will soon find Nation rather than
an army in training-in training for
valorous deeds by land and by sea,
Of course, but in training also for
modest usefulness, for self-forgetful-
ness, for ecoonmy, and, above every
thing else, for public service Our
people have always presented many
noble examples of these virtues, but
never until today has every element
of the population been hidden by the
highest authority to make them the
controlling motives of American life
for the promotion of human rights
and for the extension of national
power and glory in support of those
rights. Mr.. Hoover personifies this
conception perfectly.
The response made in many other
Quarters, scientific, financial, indus
trial and commercial, to the military
needs of the country has been so
prompt and generous that there is
reason to hope the food interests,
vast as they are, will be equally pa
triotic. In this manner a Republic
may show an autocracy not only dis
ciplined armies but disciplined pro-
duction, disciplined markets and dis
ciplined appetites, all superior to its
own because inspired by the people
themselves and not by terror of any
crown or class.

FAVORITES ANNEX
 DAY AT SARATOGA
Four Flash Past Judges in Lead
 on Heavy Track

Saratoga, Aug. 11.-A heavy track, following an overnight rain, caused many scratches for yesterdays races, but there were several thrilling events and four favorites won.
 The feature was the Mechantcsville handicap, for three-year- -olds and up- ward, at one mile, in which the top weight, H. Perkins Dick Williams. was the favorite in field of four. R. J. Mackenzie, the Canadian sports- man, showed his colors for the first time in this race, the orange and white sash being carried by the inn ported four-year-old colt Faux Col.
 D. Connolly, who had the mount on Dick Williams, was in no hurry to go to the front. He rode patiently while Faux Col and Pan Maid were six lengths in front half way along the backstretch. Dick Williams began to move up on the turn, when the pace makers tired. Connolly had little diff
 iculty in landing his mount a length in front of the fast closing Green JonesA
 With only four starters in the Still water handicap steeplechase, the race was one of the best at this meeting. Only Superman failed to finish, and the three that stood up were racing together all through the last half of the long chase. Ral Parrs Robert Oliver, the favorite, was superbly rid den by Fred Williams, making his run at the finish, so that he took the lead
 away from Crest Hill after clearing 1 the last jump and won by half a length. The Green Tree stables Syos- set was burdened by 155 pounds. 1 which stopped him so that he was l beaten five lengths for the place. The scratching of R. T. Wilson, Jr.s, ! Campfire from the first race left the l dash of six furlongs at the mercy of l Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Tom McTag- 1 gart, which waited on Marie Miller 1 until the stretch and then came away to win by five lengths.
 | There were a few anxious moments l for the packers of the odds-on favor 1 ite, Little Nearer, in the fifth race at , a mile and three e-sixteenths. The pop 1 ular hunt meet performer was shut off on the backstretch and again when he tried to go to the front at the head of the stretch. Troise finally found
 an opening on the rail and, once in
 front, Troise relaxed his efforts 50
 that Little Nearer won by the margin
 of head.
 Some smart two-year-olds turned
 out for the last race, including Rifle, a
 son of uncle-F1eur de Mario. Rife
 was outrun from the start and never
 was close enough to be dangerous.
 Panaman and Amelita were fighting
 it out until the stretch, where Buxton, l who made his reappearance in the
 saddle, brought up c. D. Widener's
 imported colt Lanius, which opened a gap of three lengths on Amefita.

EASIEST YET FOR
 GIANTS IN 'S0URI
St. Louis FielderS and Pitchers
 on Days Vacation

St. Louis, Aug. 11.-Ragged fielding by the Cardinals infleld and outfield behind the ineffective pitching of three boxmen made the Giants task easy yesterday, and the New Workers galloped away with the third game of the series. and, incidentally, their third game in row from Huggins' team, winning by the score of to 4. The Cardinals were guilty of seven misplayers. five of which figured in the scoring.
 Rube Benton occupied tho mound for the Giants, and though he was hit hard at times, managed. with the aid of splendid support to stick for the entire contest. Every time the Cards threatened to become dangerous, fast fielding by the burly left-hander's team mates squelched them.

DUAL MEET AT NIGHT
Chesty Athletes From St. Joseph's to Compete With Chesty Athletes From St. Mary's Under Arc Lights.


 The Greeks used to have their Pythian, Isthnian and Olympic games with all sorts of events from foot races to boxing with the boxing of iron or lead. In fact they were supposed to have had everything in the line of athletics. But they al- ways held their long competitions from morn to noon and from noon to dewy eve and then if their track meet was unfinished they held the re- maining events the next day. And there's the rub. But New Britain can hold athletic events at any old time. morning, noon or night. For on next Thursday evening at a dual athletic meet between four young men representing St. Joseph's Ath- letic association and St. Mary's A. A. will be held under powerful lights at St. Mary's field.
 There will be four events. There is the 100 yard dash and the 12 pound shot put and the standing broad team relay and the running broad jump, and the 200 yards team relay will be run off on next Satur- day. The four young men represent ing St. Joseph's are Vincent k1ernan, Maurice Myers, Frank K1ernan and T. J. Faulkner and the four athletes who will oppose them from St. Mary's are James Murphy, George Dillon, John Kiniry, and James Maher. Gold and silver medals will be awarded to the athletes scoring first and second 1 respectively and gold medals will be given to the winning team.

VOSHEILS DAY.
Strachan and Throckmor6on Forced
 to Bow in Defeat.

Southampton, l.. l., Aug. H. Two notable victories, which carried with them the chief honors in the tennis tournament at the Meadow club, were achieved yesterday by $. Howard Voshell, the national indoor champion. In the morning he played so brilliantly and steadily that ne brought John R. Strachan Of san Francisco to the first defeat that he has suffered since his eastern lnVa- sion. Three sets were necessary to vanuuish the Californian by scores Of 2-6, 60, 6-4. In the afternoon Voshell put the crowning touch to his days work when he defeated Harold A Throckm orton in keenly-played match, the score of which was 6-4, 6-4.
 Both of voshelrs antagonists were in fine fettle for stirring match, but they could not combat successfully the resourceful play of Voshell. who whipped his shots across fast and true in the face of rallies by his rivals. It was this ability to play remarkably well when Strachan and Throckmor- ton were summoning their reserve strength that enabled Voshell to carry on the honors in the two singles , matches.
 Next to the singles events in inter est was another East versus West con- test in which Miss Molla, Bturstedt and Fred B. Alexander opposed Miss Mary K. Browne and John R. Stra- chan. In this the East had once again to bow to the tennis supremacy of the West. for Miss Browne and Strac11an earned the decision in straight sets at 6-1, 6-4. The only other match of the day took on the part of an exhibition contest. Miss
