War Pennant and Cirrus are both

Sam Hildreth rarely makes a mis-

after the reoccupation Of liberated

universal horror.
"The results attained have fully vim
dicated your wise policy. and we pray
for the final death blow to humanity's
criminals, who have conspired in an
unholy alliance against the law Of
right and justice. Ever faithful to
your policy, we arc confident that un-
der your leadership the rights and ex-
pectations Of Hellenisn will be real
lied when the common enemy OF civi-
lisation will BE rendered impotent,
never again to attempt infamous
crime. The Greeks of America and
the American people whose opinion
we have sounded and ardent friends

LITTLE CHANCE OF RACING.

BALTIMORE, October 24.-Local
devotees Of the thoroughbreds who
have confidently expected the raising
Of the ban on the Laurel track. at
least by Saturday. are probably due
for a real shock. There is only the
faintest hope that the meeting Of the
Maryland state fair will be resumed
on that day. Despite the fact that the
epidemic Of influenza is rapidly spend
ing its force in this section, the
strictest precautions are being taken
by the health authorities. and the
latest is that the racetrack will not
be permitted to open until some time
next week. if then.
DR.. c. Hampson Jones, member of the
state board of health. declared last
night that Laurel will not be permit
ted to take up its racing program un-
til the ban on the theaters, saloons,
churches and other public places are
completely lifted. both in this city and
Washington. AS there doesn't seem
to be a chance that the lid will come
off entirely for at least four or five
days or possibly a week. the outlook
is not at all bright for Laurel. the
racing dates. of which end a week
