ANOTHER RECORD
 AT SARATOGA
Corn Tassel Breaks Track Mark By One Fifth of
 a Second.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 6.---Richard T. Wilson, Jr., president of the asso- citation, won his first race of the meeting here yesterday afternoon when Corn Tassel came through in the stretch to defeat a good field in the MechanicsviIle Handicap at a mile. The victory was the more popular as Corn Tassel was a strong favorite. Corn Tassel ran the distance in 1:37 1-5 and broke the track record which had been equaled by the selling platers in the preceding race. The previous mark was a fifth of a second slower and was made by WoodfDrd Clay's Ocean Bound in 1910.
 Breaking records is one of the best things done at this meeting, for in the last of the day another set. of new figures were established when W. R. Goes Star Realm squeezed home in front of H. P. Whitney's Sketchy in 1:O5 2-5, slipping a fifth of a second from the mark for five and a half furlongs made by J. N. Camden's s Solly in 1914. With the meeting only four days old six of the B records on the books have already been relegated to the past and most of the others are
 
 conditions that prevail.
 Corn TasseI, which has been one of the most consistent winners in the Wilson stable, never ran a better race. Robinson waited patiently while the lightly weighted Red Sox, was gal loping out in front, taking the track away from St. Isidore, whick likes to travel in front of his field. As soon as he hit the stretch Robinson shook up Corn Tassel and he shot to the front Eyelid and Lucky B also came from behind, the former making up a lot of ground in the last sixteenth and finishing only a length behind the winner, while Lucky B stretched her neck in front of the tiring Red Sox to take third money.
 Another good field started in the third race at six furlongs, a high weight handicap which was the me- dium for the first success here for the Canadian sportsman, Wilfred Viau who started George Starr, the three year-old that made such a sensation in the early season racing in Mary land. Hamilton A, a western gelding cut out a swift pace with Crank in Iattendance. This pair ran neck and neck around the bend three lengths in front of the nearest contender. Ham ilton A gave way in the stretch and George Starr came on to win by g length from Dr. Johnson, which rar over Crank and beat him two lengths for the place.
 There was a rattling finish in the steeplechase, which was won by g neck by Morton l., Schwartz's Crest Hill, with Joseph E. Widener's Infide II. in the place and Triple Springs Farms Reddest third. The last named was favorite, but was so poor ly handled by Barret Haynes that the jockey was suspended by the Stew ards pending further investigation o1 his ride.
 Among those to witness the fine days sport was Mayor John F. Hylar of New York.

lies, and to dispose of our surplus to depend upon us, and in such a way that Germany and her allies may de- rive no benefit therefrom. Having control of the export of our surplus, the Board is in a position to secure from favored countries shipping and supplies urgently needed.
 The War Trade oBard has stated very plainly that these two proclama- tions "do not mean an embargo on ex- ports or a prohibition of imports, but a power to regulate exercised with the single purpose of winning the war. Every effort will be made to avoid un- necessity interference with our for eign trade and to impose upon our ex- porters and importers no restrictions except those involved in the accom- plishment of definite and necessary objects"
 Curtails German Exports.
 Combating German trade and cut ting off all possible exports into Ger many and her associates continues re- lentlessly, but without attempts to at- tract public notice. What has been accomplished Is manifested in the steadily restricted diet of the German civilian and his allies, in the lack of raw materials urgently needed by the Central Empire for munitions and the maintenance of their armed force, and in the easily apparent economic des- peration of the Central Governments. The German bread ration is now 15 per cent. below the point at which 1t has been maintained for many months and which was then considered made quate properly to maintain the strength Of the German working class es. Their butter ration has been re- duced to 25 grams (slightly over the weight of an ordinary letter.. Ger. man cattle have been slaughtered SC they no longer maintain the half. pound weekly ration of meat for ci. williams. As a result, the productive ability of the German workmen has
 bee reduced from 25 to 50 per cent
 due to the success of our war trade
 policy, steadily and relentlessly en. forced.

The War Trade Board, even if com parative1y unknown except to import CTS, exporters and shipping men-and be sure they know it very well-is very important member of Uncle Sam's official family at the present time, and becoming ever more impor- tant says c. H. Cloudy, in the Scien- tific American.
 The War Trade Board was establish ed by Executive Order under Trading with the Enemy Act on October 18th, 1917. It was a successor to or evolu- ton from the Division of Export Li- censes of the Department of Com merce which prior to August 31st, 1917. controlled exports under the act of June 18th, 1917, and of The Ex- ports under the act of June 18th, 1917 and of The Exports Administrative Board formed by Executive Order of August Fist, and which continued in existence until October 12th, 1917. Both of these organizations dealt sole ly with exports. The War Trade Board, however, controls both export and import trade during the war, and also exercises certain functions under the Trading with the Enemy Act.
 The Board includes representatives of various Government departments, thus acting as a clearing house of ideas of the departments represented. Its Chairman represents the Secretary of State other members of the Board are accredited to the Treasury, Agri- culture and Commerce Departments, the Food Administration and the Shipping Board. Thus it gets all view points.
 Controls Commodities.
 Under two proclamations by the President dated February, ,14, 1918, all commodities in our foreign trade are submitted to the license control of the War Trade Board. Previously the export and import control was ap- piled only to a limited list of commo- dities; but now, owing to the military and tonnage situation, nothing may be exported from the United States or 1 imported into it, without a license
 Transportation of our armies to 1 France and maintenance of a flow of
 supplies to support them requires the
 use of every ton of shipping which can possibly be had, even if it becomes
 necessary to curtail exports or inn

Moore Beats Sharkey

Pal Moore was a bit too classy for Jack Sharkey in their eight-round bout at the Armory A. A. in Jersey City last night. The Memphis ban tam won handily on points.
