The Victory De rby
By Frank Getty

IN PSOM England, June 4-To- days
r. Victory Derby proved the greatest
sporting event this country has wit
messed since before the war. 1t marked the
elimination of highly successful season,
and the crowds that streamed down from
London. and from all parts Of the British
Isles for this most famous Of English ma
tional races exceeded even those of pre-
war days. Not since 1910, when King
Edwards Minoru raced in across the Downs,
winner by lengths, has there been such
widespread interest in the Derby
All morning long, almost from sunrise,
the wide road from London, fifteen miles
away, was choked with an unending process
sion of vehicles of every description-the
aristocratic Rolls-Royces of society caught
and held in their places behind and before
the tally-hos, brakes, buses, bicycles and
coster carts Of the jostling multitudes.. 1t
was a sporting pilgrimage to the pict-
uresque Surrey racecourse, to lay some-
thing on a possible winner. Probably about
100000 people witnessed the race. All
England that couldn't get here watched
the wire"-every one had his money up,
from the thousands of pounds wagered by
owners and titled sportsmen to the null
titudinous half-crowns Of the proletariat.
At the clubs and on the Stock Exchange
New-York tribune., 1919-06-19

the Derby sweepstakes averaged over twice
the amounts subscribed in pre-war wears.
The exchange sweepstakes proved a record
one.
Society, freed from it's war penance, was
here to-day in blaze Of color From the
modest khaki and blue of wartime fashion
has leaped to the most extreme Of riotous
color effects, and the green Of EPSON Downs
was covered to-day with a dazzling carpet
of many bewildering hues. Dazzle" para
soils, designed to endanger the eyesight
even If the point misses you, were largely
IN evidence. Weird camoufage gowns were
another feature of the fashion show, which
runs just second in public interest to the
big race itself.
AS result of the tremendous interest
IN this years Derby prices for everything
here to-day scared on golden wings. Boxes
at the last minute brought 100 guineas
apiece. Stalls, which means seats, in the
grandstand have been sold out for weeks
at five guineas each.
1t was great year for "going to the
Derby" by road. Everything on two, three
or four wheels that would turn was thrust
into service. The Pickwick Club had every
one of its famous tally-hos on the road,
and for weeks all the motor companies in
London have been reporting nothing left
on wheels to hire out" Every automobile
capable OF making the journey Of fifteen
miles and back was patched up and started
toward EPSON. Char-a-bancs, four-in-hsnds
and brakes brought a splash Of scarlet and
the sound Of the horn into tho gay procss-
sion.

Under C1.ise
OF Labor Leader

1t was with real feeling of long
sought success that caught live, bona
fde Bolshevist, though could not be
sure he was one till just at the end of
a three hours talk. He had appeared
in the usual guise of labor leader
he is one Of the men who are hiding
under that honored name to play upon
ingmen and lead them to revolt. He is
not Russian, nor a German, but
Scotch. He is clean shaven, manicured,
and wears silk socks and a silk shirt.
He is a high official of a union which has
just finished a sympathetic strike which
bore many earmarks of revolutionary
movement, but concerning which the
union officials, including himself, de-
MED any revolutionary intent or con-
nection. He specifically asked that his
name be withheld He is about thirty
years old, and denies that he is Boil
shevst in any way. Let him speak for
himself.
"Collective bargaining was the only
issue in this strike,' he said. "All this
talk about a soviet scheme and Boil
shevism is capitalistic propaganda, in
tended to make the workers distrust
their leaders. Later we may strike with
other objects, but now the question is
collective bargaining, and this is a fight
for justice to the laboring man and
nothing else. All the rest is lies"
The principle of collective bargaining
had been granted by the employers in
this particular case. The question was
whether this principle should be applied
so broadly that a labor body which had
no interest in common with the men in
volved should have the right to pass on
their contracts.

the doctrine into many; too many have

And Russia's great panjandrum has
been led to something akin to apostasy.
When production ceased and few weeks

The Knox Resolution

'The resolution" says Senator Knox,
in reference to the declaration that he
urges the Senate to make, "does not
call for vote for or against the league
of nations; it does not call for even an
expression . our opinion either for or
against a league. On these points this
resolution is wholly colorless."
The resolution is framed to separate
Z the peace treaty proper from the cove
nant, so that the latter may receive more
mature neutrality-suspicious. a chance
to have. not only the judgment of the
Senate. but the judgment of the people,
disclosed by the results of a referendum
vote. Indeed, the resolution, as first
presented, supported the league of peace
idea. 1t proposed declaration, if a
peril arose similar to that recently
weathered, for this country to march
again. Here was league of peace of
substance-the very antithess of aloof-
ness.
But it cannot be judged in vacuum.
Only through the President or the peace
conference can divorce be secured. Will
the President be responsive to argu-
ment, and if not, will the other powers
disregard him?
Senator Knox doubtless has small hope
of bringing about separation at Paris.
The i'll assorted pair may be counted to
arrive on the same boat. Indeed, there
is reason to suspect the Knox resolution
was brought forward as a text to talk
from rather than in serious belief it
would bring definite results.
If this surmse is correct Washington
is devotng it's inner thoughts to pre-
pairing a programme against the day
when peace treaty and covenant come
down the gangplank, with the trumpets
sounding that what has been Joined to-
gether cannot be put asunder. A mar
riage may not be prevented, but it is
possible to do something in the way of
writing marriage settlements.
Practically everything said by Senator
Knox is based on his interpretations of
the ambiguous covenant-readings whose
accuracy is denied by the other side.
Doubt thus exists, and it is eminently
proper to remove it. Our practice with
respect to treaty ratifcations points a
clear way. The covenant can be ratified
and the objections to it met by interpre-
tations in the ratifying resolution. The
legality Of such reservations has been
recognized by the Supr9 ne Court, and
if inserted little reason is there to fear
the President would tear up the whole
treaty, or that it would become unac-
ceptabe abroad.
Washington does not yet talk reser-
vations. But it is thinking about them,
and If they appear it will develop that

sympathy or support. Even If we fail
this time it will have been worth while
for the education Of our people and

"You don't think there is any need
of the work they are doing?"
"No." Then after reconsideration:
perhaps, but not at the high price
we are forced to pay them for it,"
The question Of keeping agreements
was brought up.

In the summer of loving;
Dust and long vanished

Kind are the showers

Their bayonets slanting,

Sweet with buds breaking.

It's that way with Bolshevists in
America. Few will admit their calling
to red revolution, except when they are
on the job and among people they can
trust. To the casual inquirer, without

well make the wages high enough
to leave a margin. The capitalists will
be forced to pay what we ask when we
get control" He really could see no
difficulty about making both farmer and
laborer rich at each others expense.
"Of course, the one big union plan
depends on the sympathetic strike. Is
it fair to make all the people who are
neither capitalists nor laborers suffer?
What do you expect to get by it? When
you tie up a city you condemn babies
to death for lack of milk, and every
body to a lot of suffering"
"We don't owe them anything. They
never have done thing to help save
us from capital. And if we did, they
ought to be willing to suffer in a fight
like this for principle. The Allies have
made millions suffer in fight for prin-
ciple"
"But the Allies only made people who
had attacked them suffer. They didn't
attack people who were outside the
fight"
"The principle is the same. The peo-
pie ought to be in the fight"
"In this case you are fighting for
collective bargaining, you say. But the
principle has been granted SO you are
really making a lot of people suffer
for a principle that is already won."
He apparently did not intend to dodge
this question.
"Our fight is demonstrating the
power of labor when it is unified" he
said. ''That is worth all the suffer-
ing we may cause"
"But you have turned great sections
of the community that used to be in
sympathy with you against you"
This worried him none.

is the title of new pamphlet just pre-

Director of Sales of the Government

able information concerning methods
to follow in floating the forthcoming

merits of the courses pursued in MAX
ing the previous loans a success. The
pamphlet also suggests plans designed
to aid in conducting the sales cam
paign.
An interesting comparison is drawn
between the amount of money loaned
by the British people to their govern
ment and the amount the American
people loaned during the war. The
analysis shows that the American peo-
pie could lend their Government $780,
