Two ACES Raced Together.

Two little dots in the distance sud
denly woke up. and two Cossack out
posts who had probably been waiting
for us for hours, for we were half a
day late, flung themselves on their
horses and salloped toward us, Arthur
Ruhl writes In Golfers.
The chauffeur of the first machine
motioned with his gantlet, with the
same bored gesture he would have
used In city street. and the Cossacks,
bringing down their knouts and fling
fhg their horses about with what
should have been a magnificent ges-
ture, fed down the road.
The only thing that dimmed its mag
nificence, for they rode beautifully,
was the invention of the motorcar
and the cruel and cynical ease with
which these soulless contraptions of
steel and gas only purred bit heavier
and were always at their heels. Horses
and riders doubled up every now and
then ana, leaped like greyhounds, rifles
humping On the mems shoulders, and
the motors purred and snorted lazily
..fter-two ages and two civilizations
were racing there down the soggy
road.

Copper Had a Heart.

Here is potato theft which
showed the cop to be a real humani-
tartan: A little, frail, white-haired
old woman, her bent shoulders COW
cred with a small shawl. came down
an Eastside street toward the corner
grocery store. In front of the store
she stopped and glanced hastily
around. Her trembling old hands
came ont from under the shawl, seized
two or three potatoes on the top of
basket and were drawn back under
the shawl again. For a second she
stood there, her thin lips moving as If
in prayer, then she went on. Not ten
feet away stood a big patrolman with
his back turned resolutely toward the
store and his gaze fixed across the
street. The storekeeper was singular
ly unobserving. AS soon as the little
old woman had gone the big cop
turned to the storekeeper and re-
marked: "She's fixed for the day,
eh?" eyes, all right for todayl"
laughed back the storekeeper.-New
York Times.

State Financially
Prepared for War
Travis Says There Is SIG, 000,-
600 in Treasury-Resources
Are S12,OOO,OOO,OO0

Albany, March 25.-Assurance that
New York's financial resources will
prove more than sufficient to meet any
war emergency requirements which the
Federal government may call on this
commonwealth to furnish was expressed
by State Controller Eugene Nj. Travis
in a statement tonight. Mr.. Travis
said in part:
"The estimated resources Of the
state reach almost $4,000, 900, or
nearly Is per cent of those of the en-
tire country. The actual cash balance
in the State Treasury amounts TO APP
proximately S16,OOO,OOO, almost $1,000
900 more than the amount on hand at
this time last year. In addition to this
are the states assets, which, including
institutional and public buildings,
canals and highways, public lands,
parks and reservations, all exempt from
taxation, now exceed S200,0O0,00O in
value.
"The constitutional provision limit
ing the legislative power of appropria-
ton to 100000 without further ref
erencc to popular approval is removed
in cases Of war emergency, when fun
damental law makes special provision
for revenue in order to contract debts
to repel invasion. suppress insurrec-
ton or defend the state. Additional
moneys could be quickly obtained by
making appropriations and levying di-
rect tax or through the issuance OF
bonds for the common defence"
New York stands ready 10 furnish
not only money but men," the Control
Ter continued. During the Civil War
her quota exceeded 400, 600 soldiers, and
in the Spanish war and during the Mex
lean uprising this commonwealth sup
piled more than her share of troops,
greater in number and better equipped
than any other two states combined. At
present the ordinary military resources
of the state are estimated to amount to
approximately one-tenth of the entire
strength Of the country's forces. while
the unorganized group exceeds 4,l50,0O0
available men,"

Kosher Butchers Join
Meat Price Strike

Men Enlist with Harlem
in Protest

Kosher butchers Of the East Side
and Brownsville yesterday voted 10

meat from the wholesalers until the
prices are lowered. Six thousand men
are now cut.
The report was also current on the
East Side yesterday that the poultry
commission men contemplated raising
the price of Chickens TO forty cents a
pound. The approach of the Jewish
Passover. when more chickens are pur-
chased in the Ghetto than at any othe r
time of year, made this rumor serious
matter.
Members of the Retail Poultry Deal

Canvass Shows All Parts of

The National Security League made

the league sought the views OF the
MAYORS of all cities of more than 5000
population. Three hundred and sew

In every part of the country the
trend of opinion was found TO be IN
favor Of the project. New York is one
of the states where no replies were
unfavorable. There were twenty-eight
responses. Nebraska has the distinc-
ton of being the only state from which
no favorable replies were received.
Generally it was found that opposi-
ton centred in cities with large in
dustrial population and considerable
labor or Socialist vote. Baltimore,
however, was entered on the unfavor-
able side, apparently solely through
the individual sentiment of Mayor Pres
ton, who wrote:

England or anywhere. / am a peace

Forty thousand members of Catholic
churches yesterday signed the pledge
of loyalty TO President Wilson which
is being circulated by the Mayors Com
mittee on National Defence. The blank
pledges were distributed in two hun
dred churches, and in many instances
patriotism was the subject of sermons.
Ushers distributed the blanks through
the congregations. and when the SER
vices were over great heaps Of the
signed pledges were piled on tables in
the vestibules.
At st. Patrick's Cathedral Monsignor
Joseph Mooney, following the approval
given by Cardinal Farley to the pledge,
personally urged the members of the
congregation to sign. The response was
so great that the ushers were unable
TO count the signatures yesterday, but
it was estimated that ten thousand had
signed.

Church of the Resurrection. converted
mis- services into a patriotic demonstra-
