BREAK WITH BERLIN

Buenos Aires. Oct. 1s.--Argentina
will not break diplomatic relations
with Germany. for the present, At
least.
The foreign department after a cab
met meeting tonight issued an Official
statement to the effect that there lis no
change In Argentinas international re.
lations. The statement adds that the
cabinet also remains unchanged.
The announcement WAS . surprise
to the whole republic. 1t had been
generally expected that now that the
strike is settled. diplomatic rupture
with Berlin would follow promptly
Several cabinet members had throat,
ened to resign II such rupture was
not forthcoming at once.
1t will require about eight days be-
fore the Argentine republic has fully
recovered from the paralyzing enects
of the railroad strike. BY that time
traffic conditions are expected to have
resumed normal aspects. In some quar-
tiers the settlement of the strike Is not
altogether looked upon with optimism.
The railroad heads. for instance. are
known to expect another strike by the
time Argentine's vast crops are har-
vested The entire republic heaved
sigh of relief. however. when the end
of the strike was announced.
The Argentine press is printing high
" favorable comments upon the recent
speech by John Barrett which is COM
monty referred to as embodytng the
quintessence of patriotic pan-Amer-
icanism.

AUGUST DtLMONT's
H0URlESS IS VICTOR
Defeats Omar khayyam I'm Great
Race at Laurel Track and Sets
New Track Record.

Laurel Race Track, Nd, Oct. IS
Hourles7, the great son of Negofel,
did himself proud today. Not only
did the gallant colt owned by August
Belmont defeat his old rival Omar
Khayyam, but In his victory he set a
new track record for the mile and
quarter.
Twenty thousand people cheered
and yelled for minutes as the Belmont
colt flashed past the wire a little more
than length in 'ront of his rival in
one of thes greatest match races ever
run between two thoroughbreds.
1t was a race we'll earned and well
ridden. The Belmont colt took the
dust from Omar's heels from the rise
of the barrier until the stretch turn
and then he moved up with machine
like rapidity and won going away.
Omar went into the lead when the
barrier was sprung. When the two
horses passed the grandstand for the
first time Omar was a good length in
front. Hourless was fighting for his
head. Robinson, however. held on
tightly. Al the half mile Omar had
increased his lead to two lengths and
was running smoothly. Down the
rated the two colts.
Omar wins" yelled the crowd.
But the Belmont colt turned into
the stretch and Robinson gave him his
head. AT the eighth pole the black
drew up on Omar. Head and head
they came down the stretch. The
crowd was yelling like mad. For a
sixteenth they ran like team. Then
Haynes on Omar went to the whip.
His mount dashed up and held on
we'll. but he was beaten.
Robinson's ride on Hourless was
well timed. He kept his mount we'll
in hand and gave him his head at the
right time.
The race was for $4,000 and each
horse carried 126 pounds, Wilfred
Viau, Canadian sportsman, owner OF
Omar, and August Belmont. who own
ed the winner, sat in boxes and wit
messed the running OF their thorough
breds. Hourless was a 8 to 4 favorite.
Omar Khayyam was quoted at to 10.
The weather conditions were ideal
and the track lightning fast.
The time was 2;o2. AS seconds
better than the track record.
After the race Mr.. Belmont was
presented with the gold cup given by
Mr.. Mclean, OF Washington. He will
donate the $4,000 stake to the Red
Cross.
