Colt Races Promising
Right down the big line this year

lends to the attractiveness of the races

are announced also have had a fine

Paris. June 20.
Louis Puech. one of the group of
French Deputies who are considering the
defense of Paris. makes the frank recon-
mendation in the Matin that a partial
precautionary evacuation be begun now.
I'VE have so often lacked foresight" b"
he says, 'in the course of the war and
should not again expose ourselves to
the accusation of not taking precaution
against the most remote perls"
The Deputies have no fear OF the Ger
mans ever actually reaching Paris, but
they have the possibility of lombard
ment in mind in their daily deliberations.

may bring us continuous surprises. 1t
is not impossible that the range of guns
will be materially increased. Paris and
its suburbs under ally fire would become
uninhabtable
There is no doubt of panic should an
agglomeration of 100000 be so
situated, to say nothing of the destruc-
ton Of property It is necessary to seek
the best means to avoid at any cost sucl,
a double catastrophe. Let US take peo-
pie away. There are in Paris old peo-
pie. children. refugees. sick. innumerable
citizens who have no occupation or
duties to retain them here. The ad-
vantage of their evacuation now is self
evident.
IF Paris becomes a point of intensive
hombardment. the exodus VIII be general
and the means Of transport limited. BY
the most rapid methods we cannot
evacuate more than 100000 day. why
risk panic and disorder by delay? II
would be better now to afford free
transportation to all who have no means
of going and thus move $4,000 a day in
good order
But these are only precautions in
case of new circumstances arising. The
public fully understands. Normal life
! in Paris has not been disturbed"
Meantime Paris Is catching up on lost
| sleep, because. despite the fact that the
moon is nearing full. misty nights and
! freuuent showers have kept airplant
raiders away for several nights and
several days.

Niscount Grey has published. through
the oxford University press pamphlet
on the League of Nations in which
he expresses his strong conviction Of
the necessity of such a league. He re-
marks that the war has developed into
a ruthless and unlimited application Of
the resources and discoveries of science
to the destruction Of human life. nom
combatant and well as Combatant. and
that If future wars remain possible after
this one Is ended, another generation of
scientific workers whose discoveries cam
not be confined TO any one nation will
bring within sight the destruction of the
human race.
There are, in his opinion, only two
alternatives:
To stop war by establishing the per-
manent domination of one nation over
the others. or to stop it by uniting all
nations, or. at any rate. all the leading
nations. in peace preserving league.
NisCount Grey insists that ii is not
the fate of a nation or of an empire or
even of whole continent that is at
stake in this war. but of civilization
As Germany believes in force. because
it has been profitable to her so far. she
must be convinced by force that force
does not pay.

he SAYS there can be no league OF

sires must include Germany, and should
include no nation that is not Thoroughly
convinced of the advantage and neces-
sity of such a league and is therefore not

maintain it,"
But other nations. as well as Ger
many. must realize before the League OF
Nations can have any prospect OF sue

forces against any one nation winch

WOOD FIBER A LUXURY
 FOR PILLOWS IN BELGIUM

Since the delivery of the contents of ali mattresses and pillows to the occu. pying Germans, wood fiber is being substituted. A paragraph in journal subsidized by the "Kommandantur" of Brussels is quoted by Informations Belges as follows:
 "If we can judge by the display on every side, the storekeepers have now started in the business of selling wood fibers. They were at loss to know what to display, and it is easy to imag- inc with what joy they seized on this windfall."
 An ordinance of May 23, 1917, re- tiuired the declaration of all mat tresses and pillows, and on July Il, 1917, an order from the governor gen. eral gave the following instructions in detail, whether it is pure wool or mixed with other matters, such as horsehair or seaweed. The persons obliged to deliver the stuffing must, at their own expense, empty their mattresses and pillows and effect the transport of said stuffing to the place assigned to receive it. If this surren. der and delivery are not carried out, promptly, competely, immediately, ex- actly according to orders, the mater. ials will be seized forcibly, if neces. ! ryl. be house-to-house search after the date fixed for delivery. Any one dis.
 obeying this order will be punished by
 the war council by a fine of 5O,000 marks ($12,5O0) and two years in prison.''
