! 'WH|TNEY'S COLT WINS
SUBURBAN AND $3.50
+ CUDGEL, THE FAVORITE,
Jagged WITH TOPWEIGHT
OF 1873 POUNDS, FOURTH.

New York, June 8.-Harry p.
Whitney's imported chestnut colt
Johren won the Suburban Handicap
at one mile and a quarter over the
Belmont Park race course today.
He is the fourth 3-year-old to be
returned winner of this turf classic.
A. K. Macomber's Hollister fn-
9 ished second, and P. A. Clark's Bat
tie was third. The favorite, Cudgel,
carrying the topweight of l33
polnds, was fourth, with Hendrie
fifth. and Spur. the second choice,
last of the field of six starters.
Was Quick Start.
With only one minutes delay at
the post, they were sent off from
an excellent start with Hollister the
6rst to show, but Johren raced right
up to him.
Jockey Robinson raced Johren in
front under slight restraint and
the colt always had speed enough to
move away when Hoilister tried to
reach him. These two horses were
perfectly handled by their riders
while Cudgel was closer up to The
pace than usual all the way. but
when called upon he showed moth
ing. Spur, after showing a lot OF
speed for a mile, quit at the bend
into the stretch, while Hendrie was
always outrun.
Cudgel failed to respond to
Knapp's urging in the run through
the stretch, where Battle. under the
light impost, closed big gap and
went after the leaders.
Was Slow Track.
Johren, after leading all the way
had something in reserve at the end
when he won. ridden out by a
length and a half, with Hollister
second, two lengths in front of bat
tie. The time, 2:06, was the slow
est of this event since 1907, but the
track had not dried out from the
deluge of Friday and under the con-
ditions, the winners performance
was good. The value OF the race tc
the winning owner was $3.50.

PATIENCE URGED BY
GERMAN WAR WRITER
Offensive Has Been Checked,
He Admits, But Change
Is Likely.
(Bv the Associated Press)


Amsterdam, June The Ber-
lin Vossische Zeitung'S military
correspondent, in an article on
the offensive on the western
front, says;
1T should be emphasized re-
peatedly in view OF exaggerated
hopes, that a decision can be
procured only comparatively
slowly.
The foe is enabled to organ
ize his resistance, owing to his
brilliantly constructed railway
system. which has junction and
unloading stations at Compeigne
and Nillers-CotteretS.
The German supreme COM
mand can not we'll proceed now
against the newly-consolidated
French front, which is richly
provided with reserves, and bear
the great losses which expert
ence shows are entailed by such
operations.
when the French brought up
big reserves. the exploitation OF
certain extent ended, Presum-
ably a certain change soon will
occur in the entier system OF
battle operations. The battle can
only proceed slowly; a decision
can not be procured in a few
days. We should therefore arm
ourselves anew with patience.
The continuation OF the big Of
iensive will come at the right
time and will again mean a sur
prise for our enemies.

is ENEMY PLANNING
ASSAULT IN WOEVRE2
Heavy Train Movements Seem to
Indicate Extensive Plan.
(Bv the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
With the American Arm in
France, June 7.--(Frida)-
OF recent heavy German train
movement from the direction OF
Metz to the st. Mihiel sector has
aroused discussion in the American
expeditionary forces as to whether
the enemy is planning an assault in
the Woevre.
From a tactical point of view the
neighborhood of St. Mihiel with its
sharp salient offers logical place
for a German attack. A drive
through St. Mihiel to the south
west, it is considered, might have
triple object-the menacing OF
Bar-le- Due, the outflanking OF
Nerdun from the rear and the elm
inaton of the salient which has its
apex at Verdun.
For the moment. at least. perhaps
permanently, the allies have stopped
the enemy at the Marne. Many en-
gagements of tactical nature may
be expected even if the Germans de-
eide it is useless to continue their
efforts along the Marine and elect to
hit the allied line at other places.
Offer Huns Opportunity.
The position of the railways and
! the formation OF the terrain north
west and north Of Barbecue offer
the Germans an opportunity.
OF course. what the future holds
for the American forces around st.
Mhiel is not known. but the salient
there is being discussed as posi-
bilitv not to be lost sight Of An
other place which is likely to see
more fighting is the sector around
Montdidier, where American troops
recently captured Cantigny. Anoth-
er important point at which Amer
lean troops are stationed is the ter
ritory around Chateau-Thierry.
1t may be considered certain that
whatever the future holds, the
American forces undoubtedly will
participate in some hard fighting.
