Marion Kirke
AgainWin ms rot
In Record ine
By J. S. Mitchell

The big event of the Nassau Driving
Club matinee on the Parkway trotting
track, Brooklyn, yesterday was the
free-forall trot, which brought out a
string of five steppcrs. AS on last Sat
urday. Marion Kirke, q bay mare of
inc action, captured the blue ribbon
without turning a hair, and she did the
trick in straight heats.
Her time of 2:13 in the second at
tempt was the fastest, and it just
equalled the matinee record hung up
by herself week ago. The mare was
plloted by Bob Davis, her owner, who
seemed to have matters we'll in hand
both times out What little trouble he
had occurred in the first heat, when
Marion Klrke came in for stiff chal-
lengc from Direct Aquilan, but at the
crucial moment the mare had enough
in reserve to stall off the def. 1t looks
as if Marion Kirke is capable of much
better time under more favorable con-
ditions.
A little spice was injected into the
trot had been framed up" before
the horses came on the track Only two
showed, and they were Bellfair
brown gelding, owned and driven by
John J. Looney, and Alice Peter, mare,
driven by AL Cornwell.
Perhaps the fact that both have been
training at the same stable gave rise to
the report, but, at any rate, they were
called up before the judges stand and
warned by Charlie Weiland that they
had better play fair, as no careless
driving would be tolerated. Locney
was furious, and then and there wanted
to resign his seat behind Bellfair
William Gartrell. secretary of the club,
was named as the substitute. On re-
consi liberation, however, the horses
were allowed to take the word as origi-
nally scheduled, and after an interest
ing trot Looney triumphed for the rib
bon.
Three of the events on the card were
shy of entries on account o. Scratches,
and as a sort of substitute two Of
the star competitors raced against the
watch. Jay Potter, PAGER, attempted
to beat 2:14 for the mile, feat he &C
complished by coming home in 2:13A
and Joe North, another PAGER, did the
mile in 2:12a4.

GERMAN U-BOATS
ARE SURRENDERED
BRITISH MET UNDERWATER
CRAFT AT SEA AND LED THE
WAY HOME.

LONDON. - The following account Of
the surrender of the first batch of 20
German submarines, which was &C
complished at sea, is given by an eye
witness of the incident. More than
so other German submarines are to be
handed over to the allied naval COM
mand before the end of the week.
After steaming some 20 miles across
the North Sea, the Harwich forces,
which consisted of five light cruisers
and 20 destroyers, were sighted. The
flagship of Admiral Tyrwhitt, the conf
:nander, was the Curacao. High above
the squadron hung big observation
balloon.
Soon after o'clock 20 submarines
were seen in line. accompanied by
two German destroyers, the Tibania
and the Sierra Ventana, which were to
take the submarine crews back to
Germany after the transfer.
All the submarines were on the sur
face with their matches open and their
crews standing on deck. The vessels
were flying no flags whatever and
their guns were trained fore and aft
in accordance with he terms of the
surrender.
A bugle sounded on the Curacao
and all the gun crews took up their
stations, ready for any possible treach-
cry.
The leading destroyer, in response
to signal from the admiral, turned
and led the way towards England, and
the submarines were ordered to fol-
low.
They Immediately did SO. The sur
render had been accomplished.

After the soldier had obtained his

,marked that her house had suffered
more or less from the guns.
"Yes," was the reply, II used 1t as a

right. We will build it up again and
everything will be the same"

Washington. - William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, secretary Of the treasury, direc-
tor general of railroads and often dis
cussed as one of the presidential pos
sibilities of 1920, has resigned both
his offices to return to private bust
ness.
President Wilson has accepted his
resignation. Mr.. McAdoo will give
up the treasury portfolio as soon as a
successor has been selected. He wish
ed to lay down his work as director
general of the railroads by January l.,
but will remain if the president has
not then chosen successor.
Upon the new secretary of the
treasury will devolve the task OF finan-
cling the nation through the transit
ION period of war to peace, which
probably will include at least two
more Liberty Loans and possibly a
further revision of tho system of war
taxation.
Letters between President Wilson
and Mr.. McAdoo, made public with
the announcement of the resignation,
give Mr.. McAdoo's reasons for leav-
ing the cabinet solely as a necessity
for replenishing his personal fortune,
and express the presidents deep re-
greet at losing his son-in-law from his

KNEW
GERMAN MORALE
GOVERNMENT KEPT cHART-IT
SHOWED INFORMATION ON IN
TERNAL AFFAIRS.

Washington.-Know:adg in posses
sion of officials here of conditions in
Germany during the war was so &C
curate that the American General
Staff had computed, many weeks in
advance, almost the exact date on
which the breaking point would be
reached. A chart, which was hung in
Secretary Bakers Office, shows the
fluctuations in the morale of the
German nation" from August, 1914
to the present month.
Assuming the German government
to have had 100 per cent support
from the people at the beginning OF
the war, the chart shows how German
morale fell and rose under the infiu-
ence of various factors.
The chart indicates that practical
~ every major operation of the Ger
man military forces was influenced by
the state of public mind at home.
Thus, General Mackenzen's attack in
the Balkans, the declaration Of I'M
limited submarine warfare, the second
Italian offensive and the advance on
the western front, which was met and
stopped by American marines at
Chateau Thierry, all were inaugurated
when the morale line showed danger
Gus slumps. In each case, first sue
cess moved the hopes of the German
people, as portrayed by the dotted
line. up toward normal.
