NEW AUTO RECORDS
 SET BY DEPALMA
Ralph Covers 633.12 Miles in Six
 Hours Speed Test.

New York Nov. 17.-A new world''' record for six hours was set by Ralph De Palma at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway yesterday afternoon. Thr Italian pilot covered 633.12 miles, against the mark of 566 miles made by Dario Resta, Gene Chessagne and Lee K. Guinness. who alternately drove a Sunbeam car on the Brook lands track, London, England, on Oc- tober 1. 1913. De Palma's average was 105.6 miles per hour, against the former average of 94.4 miles. De Pal ma drove his Packard, fitted with a Liberty motor. He was at the wheel the entire time.
 After Ralph had covered 112.96 miles in the first hour. bettering the former record of 1O7.9 miles, Fred Wagner, who was in charge of the trials for the A. A. A., remarked that he was sure that the old record would have to go. The second hour took De Palma 22491 miles against the old mark of 1851.
 De Palma was averaging better than 112 miles per hour when he passed the two hour mark. In the third hour he experienced some tire trouble, which brought his speed down to 109.85 miles an hour. with a distance of 32956 miles covered. The four hours took him to 440.56 miles. The old record for this dura. ton was 380 miles.
 At the end of five hours De Palma had covered 535.72 miles. The old record for this time was 473 miles. At this point De Palma was sixty two miles ahead of the former mark.

WESLEYAN CUBS WIN
E~ Columbia Freshmen Humbled by Mft1- dletoWn Eleven in Annual Gridtron Clash on South Field, 40 to o.

New York, Nov. 17.-Wesleyan's freshmen overwhelmed the Columbia first year men, 47 to O., in a one sided contest on South Field yesterday Well executed forward passes acN counted for most of the scores. The Connecticut boys stuck to open work play throughout the game, although their ability to make long gains through the Coulmbia line also helped considerably.
 The scoring was started off by Woodruff in the first quarter when Ina crossed the goal line after a twenty yard run. In the second quarter an- other touchdown was scored, the half ending IA to 0.
 In the second half the visitors rolled up points with ease. Woodruff, with three touchdowns. started for Wes,- leyan in this half. Forward passes from Peck to Hosdowick accounted for the greatest single gains
 With their fast little halfback.. Lasky, in the game for the first time since the Hotchkiss defeat, the local youngsters started out with a much improved style of play, but when Lasky had to be removed before the first period was over on account of an injury, the Columbia team relapsed into it's former loose play and proved an easy victim.

Neither man was satis- fled with the outcome on that occa- sion, and when Peterson hurled a challenge at Ventres it was readily ac- cepted by the Berlin boy.

Scenarios and Frills

but scenario writer's they needed, so
they persuaded me to write a scenario.
| wrote one, little dreaming that the
time would come when | should do
rothing else for eighteen hours a day.
They liked il, and asked for another,
but here I rebeled. In fact, | abso-
lutely refused, and to placate me they
said that if | would sit down and
write a nice story for them | myself
might play the lead in it. And so it
went on.
"Writing scenarios is an insdious
thing, and the first thing l knew | was
devoting all my time to that and none
at all to acting"
Here we sighed in sympathy, for We,
too, knew the lure Of the stage, even il
an unappreciative manager had limited
the expression of our temperament to
such phrases as "Tea is served and
"The carriage is waiting"
Miss Macpherson is Scotch and
French, and she said that at that time
they were not allies.
"The Scotch in me was continually
saying Write while the French want
ed to get out and play-act, but the
Scotch conquered, and here | am. /
eat, sleep, dream, breathe scenarios. I
think of nothing else, unless it is
clothes. Having done something
which / didn't want to do because
thought it the prudent thing to do, 7
resolved to enjoy the fruit of my labors
in any way saw fit. So buy clothes,
clothes, and then more clothes"
If Miss Macpherson's present costume
was any criterion, she knew how to
spend her money as we'll as how to
earn it,
It's strange but true that a persons
mind is generally pretty we'll balanced.
If they are prodigiously clever in one
direction, they are apt TO be just as
clever along other lines. Good sense
and good taste are quite as essential
in designing scenario as in designing
a gown, and so We were not surprised
to learn that little Jeanne could do
both. Later we discarded the subject
of scenario writing entirely, and the
talk became sartorisl. Miss Macpher-
son showed US some gowns which she
herself designed that made our mouth
water One in black velvet and silver
should be immortalized on the screen,
and there was a claret cloth and mole
skin, and an ermine and Russian sable
coat such as we had erstwhile believed
belonged only to motion picture &C
tresses.
i So, 70 quote George Bernard Shaw
"You never can tell" and, to para
phrase Shakespeare, "A girl may write
and write and be a vision still"

Ill
Saw English-French
Capital Exploiting World

No sooner had the revolution begun
lin March, 1910 than the development
of the views OF the Bolsheviki leaders
in the direction Of anarchism passed
into third stage.
When Nikolai Lenine returned from
Switzerland to Russia, by permission
Of the German government, in March,
1917, he had been residing in Zurich.
and Just before he left he made an
elaborate report which summed up his
view Of the revolution that had just
occurred.
Here we read that it is "the English
French bank capital that rules and
exploits the whole world" On the one
hand. German capital is ignored; and,
on the other, Lenine absolutely re
fuses 10 recognize the existence Of
other Socialist groups which have a
dominating if not a large voice in the
control of England and France, while
they are practically unrecognlzed IN
Germany. | refer to the peasants Of
France and to the middle and laboring
classes represented by Lloyd George IN
England.
From this point Of view the sole pur-
pose Of Russia's remaining in the war
is to "help take away the booty from
the German Imperialism and give it TO
English and French imperialism.
Therefore there is a demand not for
a separate peace. but for something
even more dangerous ssparate
armistice. For while conditions could
be made in a separate peace a separate
armistice would be without conditions.
Peace negotiations would then be i'm
mediately undertaken, not with the
bourgeois governments. but with the
proletariat Of each of the warning

Workers in Allied
Countries Ignored

Upon his return TO Russia Lenine
and his faction secured the unanimous
passage Of resolution at Petrograd
mass meetings declaring that AL the
German workmen are brothers and all
the English and French bourgeois are
enemies" Aside from its undenlable
pro-Germanism, this resolution IL
amazing for its contradiction of Lee
mines own principles. Lenine and his
faction and the entire assemblage at
these meetings knew that there was
neither a revolt nor any sign of re-
volt among the German worklngmen.
They know that their German
brothers" are killing the Russian
workmen wholesale in cooperation with
the German bourgeois. They know
that the French and English bourgeois
are fighting alongside the vast ma
jority of the organized workers OF
France and England in a struggle
against German Czarism. Nothing but
a savage and desperate pro-German So
cialist bias could bring Lenine and his
followers to ignore such factors as
these and to belle their own principles.
This great denial can be due to only
one cause. These Leninists are the
humble disciples Of certain faction
Of the German Socialists. Their favor
ite prophets can do no wrong. They
are. therefore, just as pro-German as
their spiritual masters. the orthodox
Socialists, Of the theoretically radical
but practically subservient and kaiser
fearing German minority
