 The return of Charles E Nickel waite from the Corrinston Mckinney sales at Lexington brought to the barns out at Oaklawn some of the big promises of the 1918 racing season. Mir.

It is very likely that Sands of Pleasure and Sheperd King win be started at the coming meeting here, but even with four days of racing after the juveniles are permitted so start on April first, it is improbable that the others win be sent to the post al Oaklawn.

Mary American and British soldiers
have recently escaped from prison
camps in Germany and have reached
Switzerland. In the last week the

The men were captured about six

not realize to what extent he was

In the course of the doctors manip-

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS

Social Organs Infer Russia Has
Been Misled by Huns.

Dispatches from German newspa-
pers. received at the State Depart
ment, reveal active social-demo-
cratic and liberal criticism Of what
they term breaches of faith with
Russia.
The text of the editorials is the
recent statement by the imperial
chancellor that the German en-
peror recognizes the independence
of Esthonia and .Livonia, and also
that he would welcome with Joy
an expression of desire by them ia
form a personal union with Prus-
sia.
The Vorwaerts said plainly that
the treaty with Russia had stated
plainly that Livonia and Esthonia
were to remain under Russian
suzerainty. They were to be occu-
pied by German police until order
was restored. 1t was continued that
so long as this situation continued
Russia and Germany could not be
held to be at peace, since one OF
the parties was taking what suited
