RUSSIA MUST BE EVACUATED BEFORE
 TERMS ARE GIVEN
National Unity League De- clares Hun Agents in Russia Possess Her
 Chief Resources

New York, November 3.-"Absolute
 evacuation of Russia by Germany as q
 part of the peace terms" was urged to-
 night by the League of National Unity
 in statement signed by many promi-
 nent members of the leagues executive council, including Cardinal Gibbons
 Theodore N. Vail and Samuel Cfompers
 President Wilson has over and over
 again pledged the Russian people the
 sympathy and substantial support of the American nation and no declarations
 that he has made since the war have re- ceived such general and enthusiastic ap-
 proval, the statement declared.
 Nothing is more important than that
 Russia shall receive the very fullest consideration in connection with any pro posal for an arnistice as well as in peace negotiations of any kind whatso- ever. Russia is invaded territory much as Belgium, northern France or Siberia Neither the United States, nor any of the allies has ever recognized the shameful treaty of Brest-Litovsk The
 western front has always been of su- preme importance with respect to a mill tary decision, but it is in the east that the fundamental questions relating to world peace will be decided"
 Asserting that the actions Of "the Kaiser and his Russian allies have put Russia back q generation, reducing mil lions of her inhabitants to actual starva- ] tion, the league points out that Germany has also caused internal chaos" and
 ''an endless series of class conflicts in which every mans hand is raised against his neighbour
 Declaring that Germany maintains in
 Russia, besides her military forces, an army of commercial agents and another of spies. the statement adds that the Germans are now in possession of the chief remaining resources of the eoun- try, but that far more dangerous is Germanys great political army Therefore, the statement continues, 'in
 case of Russia there should be an evacu- aton by Ge1nanys political and eco homie armies. as well as her military force for unless the war frees Russia Germany will have gained substantial victory

To Make Conquest of
 Latin-American Trade

With the entire Mississippi valley turned into seaport by the govern ments line of barges that will give Mem phis, St. Louis. Chicago and other 'in- land" points lighter connection, so to speak, with ocean tonnage, plans have been launched for a league of the valley cities to make q conquest of the Latin
 American trade after the war, says q
 New Orleans special to the Mauufac-
 turers Record.
 Mexico, Central and South America, as has been said repeatedly, are natural af-
 finities of New Orleans, both socially and economically. New Orleans Is essential
 ly Latin city in feeling. Commercial
 ly, it Is thousand or so miles nearer
 than any other port that could handle
 the business. And it is the natural con-
 fluence of the commerce of il per cent Of
 the United States.
 While the form of organization and the methods of operation have not yeS been worked out, the general plan has
 already been approved by many of the larger producing and jobbing centers, in cluding St. Louis, Chicago and Peoria. The purpose of the league would not be to stifle competition between individua. firms, but rather to furnish facilities for trade expansion, such as the names of merchants in foreign countries, credit ratings, methods of doing business, con ditions in the various foreign markets and similar practical. service. Another important part of the work would be keeping foreign markets in- 1 formed of conditions in the valley, it's 1 advantages and Opportunities. l "St. Louis, Chicago and Peoria are es- l pecially anxious to get the work start 1 et' said A. J. Boylan, assistant Agen eral manager of the New Orleans -Asso- citation of Commerce, just back from q trip of propaganda work.
 'The cities of the valley in general are l awake to the necessity of preparing now l it they expect to hold their own in the 1 strenuous foreign trade competition that l is sure to come after the war And they realize that with the Mississippi rivei 1 in use again they have advantages thai l compare more than favorably with those
 of any other producing center in tho world.''
 l The plan for the league of valley cities
 fits in ideally with the work now beins done by the United States department ol lcommerce to encourage national prepa'
 ration for after-the- war trade compcti- l ton.

his fortune. But he was willing to sac rifice all of it just for the joy of putting the Western Jockey club out of commis- sion. Just when he had the Western groggy and about ready to quit he was dealt terrific blow by the state law makers.
 Disgusted by the bitter warfare be- tween the two clubs, the legislators In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennes- See and Louisiana, closed all the tracks within those commonwealths, Racing went to it's death in those six states and with it's demise Corrigans vast Tor tune dwindled to almost nothing
 Corrigan, who has lost at least SlO0o,oOo in the fighting, had about s400o,OOO tied up in tracks which had become useless. His immense stable of horses and his breeding farms-the greatest in America at that tirne-representing an outlay of S750, 900, became almost valueless. With racing abandoned in those six states the demand for race horses ceased. Corri- gan was forced to sell some of the speed jest thoroughbreds in the world for buggy horse prices.
 Corrigan's wealth had dwindled to a few hundred thousand. And soon that evaporated almost completely. He made several efforts to recoup, but. always failure came to him-and more. and more of his decreasing hoard was swept away. The Irishman, in his palmy days, thought nothing of spending $lo,000 for . nights entertainment; considered any wager under $15,00o "piker's bet;' gave thousands upon thousands to needy friends and spent money recklessly i'll an effort to whip an enemy. Fifteen years ago Corrigan was per- haps the most prominent individual in the turf world-and the most powerful. He was a man who numbered friends by the legions and proudly admitted that he had as many enemies-"and good en- emies that give. me hot fight and keep me awake at nights trying to fig ure out how to beat 'en"
 And today-at 72-this same Ed Corri- gan seeks racing clerkship that at best would not pay him more than go or $40 week.
