MY DEAR KAISER: The AL
V lies are up to a new game.
We've got to watch out, Will
helm, and if you can think of any
thing to do, do it quick. The
crowd in the United States say they
are going to raise over a hundred
and seventy million dollars in a
week to hand out to six or seven
of their big organizations, and il is
up 10 us to stop them.
You remember that woman in
England who wrote that Keep the
Home Fires Burning" song-you
killed her off one time you bombed
England? That the idea they are
putting over-getting home to the
front
Here's the way they've divided

It's bad business, Wilhelm, ter

us from getting the world into a

USED DYE TO MAKE
EDNA L. A RINGER
Owners Of Trotting Mare Are
Expelled by Board Of
Review.

Several owners OF trotters were ac-
cused OF sending ringers" to the post
this year at the various trotting meets
at the annual meeting OF the board of
review Of the National Trotting Associa-
ton. held In the Murray Hill Hotel
yesterday
Testimony OF a deliberate ringing" case
came during the afternoon session when
Richard Squires and Belcher SquIres OF
Hartford. Conn, were called before the
board. II was testified they dyed Edna
L. in order to disguise her andezwln a
race. The mare made a record OF 2 :O94
in the 2 rs class at Windsor, Conn, on
October 20. So remarkable was her
performance that an investigation was
ordered. and it resulted in finding the
mare a ringer" Both Squires were
convicted and expelled.
The morning session was devoted to
minor cases and routine business. Presl-
dent J. C. Welty OF Cleveland presided.
He expressed the opinion that there
would DO much greater interest in trot-
ting events next year. Last year" he
said. "the public mind was centred on
war activities. but that strain has been
lifted and all kinds OF sport will come
into their own in 1919"
Mr.. Welty said 1t was the duty of the
various county fairs to do as much as
possible to amuse and interest the public
with trottlng events
Regarding the anal gamation Of the
National Trotting Association and the
American Trotting Association he said
the two organisations are operating at
the present time under absolutely the
same rules. The complete amalgama-
ton. he continued, cannot be effected
until the meeting OF the Congress, which
will not take place until next December
He said there are only forty or nifty
mile tracks in the country. but that
there are more than 1900 half mile
tracks. and the question Of reconstructing
the rules Is largely a matter OF adjusting
overhead expenses.

said. "the final protest goes to the two
