2:1s Pace-Purse $1,000.

The 2:lS pace starting FIVE horses
and going five heats before winner
was decided proved to be the best
and the most interesting race on the
local track this year All five horses
were launched in every heat and
three OF the five COPIED first place
in one of the heats. Todd Echo,
owned and driven by w. G. Engle of
Wilson, Kan, after finishing 4th in
the first two heats, came from be-
hind and won the next three. In
the first heat the horses were bunch
ed the entire race with White Foot
in the rear. On the home
stretch it developed into a brush be-
.ween Mabel Gentry, who won favor
in the 2:15 pace last year when after
losing the first heat came back and
copied the money in three straight
heats, and Maud Grundy, little bay
mare from Washington, Iowa. The
'acers got away to perfect start in
he second heat with Todd Echo lead
ng at the half closely followed by
Mabel Gentry. The horses with the
exception of Mabel Gentry were
punched at the finish, the Washing
'on mare winning from White Foot
by matter of inches. AT the half
way point in. the third heat Todd
Echo was leading the field and was
lever headed although he was forced
% go the mile in 2:09a to win from
LADY WHY'S, who crowded him at the
Irish. In the next heat The Engle
lorse got away to a good start and
yon easily. The last and deciding
leat developed into a race between
Mabel Gentry and Maud Grundy for
second position. The Washington

Message of Warning.

A continental war department dis
patch under date of September 18th,
from an unknown source gave warn
ing that a German great peace drive
would soon be in progress.
sThis message stated that the allies
(concensus of opinion was that the
German government would be ready
in the next few weeks for desperate
separate peace offensive, the greatest
ever yet undertaken. 1t may be said
that the Austrian note which is con-
sidered adroit is for the purpose of
passing the burden on the allies for all
previous peace offensives.
Nothing Doing" Says 5aIfour
London, Sept. 16.-FOreign Secre
tary Balfour speaking this afternoon
declared its belief was that the Aus
trian peace proposals cannot and will
not produce peace nor will they divide
the allies.
There is something cynical about
the Austrian proposals and they came
too close after the speech of Vice
Chancellor Payer, Balfour said.
81 cannot believe that it is the enc
my's desire to arrive at an understand
ing which we possibly could accept
1t is just an attempt to weaken The
forces in the field which has proven
their worth. am sure there cannot b'
peace and just as sure that it will no
divide the allies.
When the Germans try to dress
themselves in President Wilson's
clothes or try to play the part at thu
time the President would like to have
them play il, they may be considered
as clumbsy actors"

Mr.. Phillips Address.

Mr.. Phillips belongs to one of the
oldest families in Oskaloosa and nat.
urally considerable of his talk was of
reminiscent character and yet with
all the historical facts related, there
was characteristic vein of humor
that ran through the talk that held
the attention and the interest of all
present. He gave an outline of the ex.
perienccs of the early pioneer, and re-
lateu how his mother had papered the
walls of their cabin located on ground
now occupied by Forest Cemetery.
with copies of the O5kalOOsa Herald
and in those primitive days, she
thought she had done quite a unique
piece of work in the decorative line.
The old pioneers were strong and
rugged IN character and il is this
strong and vigorous growth that mas
sent out the great men from Iowa and
Mahaska county, men who in their
various lines have reached National
renown and are today honored and be-
loved because they served faithfully
the interests of their state and COM
munity. Unconsciously they have
handed down to their sons and daugh-
ters the same love Of home and COM
munity life that they had lived and
worked to perpetuate. 1t was a strong
address and was frequently greeted
with applause.
DeVoe Talks to Soldiers.
Following the address of Mr.. Phil
lips, Rev. c. II. DcVoe gave an inspir-
ing talk to the old soldiers and vividly
renewed their memory of the late
Civil War. He insisted that it was
keeping together of this United Ma
ton at that time, that has today made
this country the great world power
that it is and that this spirit of Free
dom for which they fought so gallant
~, is now being carried to the entire
world and in their battles they were
winning for greater battles than they
ever realized in these trying days.

PROTECT GOVERNMENT
 IN WAR CONTRACTS

WASHINGTON, July 16.-With the cooperation of the department of jus tice, the war department is putting into effect a system of control designed to protect the government in the procure ment of all war materials.
 The new system, the war department announced, provides for a review of every contract by boards of controI, the centralizing of purchases of each commodity in single bureau, the standardization of contract clauses a daily fiscal survey and also for public information on war department needs. Operation of this plan is expected to remedy the conditions revealed by the recent arrest of contingent fee agents and the raiding of offices of manufac- turers of the country. The agents. it was charged. received large fees fol procuring government contracts fol manufacturers, the fees being added tC i the price paid by the government The manufacturers contended they were obliged to deal through the agents 1 because there was such a duplicity o government bureaus and departments they did not know where to make ap- plications for war orders.
 The general staff recently ordered that, except in cases of immediate ne
 cessity, no contracts should be mad,
 with sales agents, but direct with man
 ufacturers or jobbers carrying the
 stocks neded. In addition to this pre- caution. the departments announce

 At todays meeting of the board manufacturers were warned that those who have obtained steel on priority orders for war work and later were found to be e-selling it to non-war manufacturers would have their sup ply cut off. This practice has been in vogue. the board learned.
 All private consumers of steel and steel products may be required to sub init sworn inventories of their stocks on hand. It was found that many manufacturers had obtained large quantities of steel before the govern ment took control of the entire out put
