FUND TO EDUCATE
SOLDIERS INCREASED
Americans Incapacitated While Fight
ing i'll Allied Armies Will Benefit ,
BY This New Donation.

Washington, March 19.-Through
several large donations to a giant
fund authorized by congress, the fed
cral board for vocational education
announced today it was now able to
offer vocational restraining to Amer
lean citizens who were disabled while
serving in the armies of the Allied ma
tons. This privilege is not accorded
under the vocational education act al
though an alien who served in the
American army and was disabled is
entitled to he training.
The members of the board said to-
day they desired to get in touch with
all Americans who is soldiers in the
Allied armies were in reality the
first to fight and were disabled while
en- ga ed in such service. Upon proof
of their service injuries and necessity
for vocational education, it was said
the board was prepared to give the
training to them AS fully and COM
pletely as to any soldier III the United
States army.

MILITARY TERMS OF
TREATY AMENDED
Changes VIII Permit American Troops
II, Germany to Return Home
More Quickly.

Paris, March Is, (By the Associat-
ed Press. )--The military terms of the
treaty have been amended by the
elimination of the clause providing
for the control of Germany's arma,-
ment for an indefinite period. Ad
miral w. S. Benson of the United
States navy pointed out that the orig
inal terms committed the United
States TO a virtually indefinite occcu-
patton of Germany and it was chiefly
on his insistence that the terms were
modified. American delegates also
pointed out. that control of any por-
ton of Germany for such a period
would delay the return of American
troops and would amount to annulling
the sovereignty of Germany.
AS amended, the terms provide for
control through the time fixed for the
delivery of materials of war, guns
and ships, but not through the period
during which war damages will he
paid by Germany

PROSPECTS ARE
BRIGHT AT c. U.
Coach O'Reilly Well Salts
fled with Work of Base
ball Squad to Date.

Although the weather man drove
the energetic Georgetown University
squad into Ryan gym. nevertheless
Coach O'Reilly is very well salts
fled with the progress made SO far
this season by his Hilltop baseball
team. After watching five innings
played on the last day of practice,
Coach O'Reilly said. 81 am we'll sat
isfied with the showing that the club
has made so far and / am positive
that Georgetown will make more than
a coed showing for themselves on the
diamond"
Manager Hubert Deriveaux has not
yet announced his schedule, but it
will consist largely of South Atlantic
contests, and from the present out
look the only Northern college that
will appear at the Hilltop this spring {
will be Georgetown's old rival, Ford :
ham. The team, from present plans,
will make a short Northern trip late
in the season and the Hilltop students
are well satisfied with the prospects,
as well as the schedule. They are
especially thankful that the big con.
tests will not take place during the
Easter holidays. policy that George
town has very wisely done away with.
Among the candidates who look like
they will land a berth on the club,
one Of the most promising is Charlie
Donellan." who halls from Medford,
Mass, where. during his prep school
days. he played three years on the
Medford High team and was big
hand in helping his team to land the
State championship during each OF
the three years.
One of the most interesting pre-
season contests will be the battle for
third base. Coughlin and Mcmahon,
who played on the club last year, are
back and making strong bid for
the hot corner honors. while Jack
Flavin. who is well known to the
Washington fans as a basketball and
football star, is doing his best to land
the position.
F'lavin is an exceptional man in tbs
field. while he is far from being a
weakling with the bat. Mcmahon,
having played all of last summer on
a service team, has strengthened his
old weakness with the bat and is hit
ting the ball to all corners of the lot
and claims that ne is going TO have
big season with the war club.

P|MLICO ADDS
TO BIC STAKES
SIS, 900 Is Annexed to
Feature Races of Mary
land Jockey Club.

Baltimore. Md. Feb. 23.-with
the Preakness. $4,000 added
money race this year, as head
liner and the Pimlico Spring Handi-
cap, the Green Spring Valley
steepleChase and the PimliCo Oaks
of $1,000 added money each, and
the Spring Juvenile of $500 add
ed. TO balance the Praakness, the
Maryland Jockey Club announc IS
for the approaching spring meeting
at PimliCo track, May l to II, in
elusive, the most attractive rae
ing programs ever advertised by a
Maryland track.
The gross value of these five spe-
CiaIs in added money will be S42, 500
and to this substantial sum must
be added the $500 that will be
put up in the Pimlico Nursery, a
sprint Of four and a half furlonCs
for 2-year-Olds. which closed last
lall with 227 nominations. These
stakes will close on April 3.
The Preakness. now the richest
racing event for horses past . wears
old. run in the East. will be for
entire colts and flIies this year
and hereafter. The geldinE has
been prescribed by the Maryland
Jockey Club, which was moved to
bar him from the Preakness by a
realization OF the governments
need of thoroughbred stations for
the indispensable work of getting
horses for the artillery. transport
and cavalry branches of the forces
of national defense. 1t was de-
CIded last spring that the surest
way to discourage the wastefuI
practice Of Eelding fine young stall
lions that might be useful to the
government as potential sires OF
military horses was to bar the geld
ing from races of great value. The
action of the Pimlico directorate
in this direction has been followed
by the Latonia Jockey Club ana
the WestChester Racing Associa-
ton in connection with the Batonia
Derby. the Withers. Belmont and
Lawrence Realization Nakes and
the Suburban Handicap.
The Preakness will be this year
as in the past a race of one mile
and a furIong for 3-year-olds. ana
of the $4,000 purse, $3,50O will go
to the second horse. $1,000 to the
third and $1,000 to the fourth. by
charging a starting fee of $500 the
Maryland Jockey Club management
makes the starting of horses that
have no legitimate business in such
. race too expensive. Also there
has been an alteration in the weight
scheme which will help keep horses
OF poor quality away from the post.
Winners Of $1,000 and up must
shoulder full scale weight, I26
pounds. Non winners of $1,000 will
get an allowance of four pounds.
non winners of $500 will get eight
and non winners of $4,000 will get
twelve pounds. The minimum weight
Tor colts will be ia pounds, for
hllies. 1O9.

BILLY KELLY
MADE ELIGIBLE
Gelding Will Be Allowed to
Run in Kentucky
Derby.

Baltimore. Nd. Feb. 23.-With
geldings eligible for the running of
the kentucky Derby this year, il
looks as If the real issue will settle
down between the entries of Com
mander J. X. L. Ross and James w.
McClelland. The former will have
prepared in Maryland Billy Kelly,
War Pennant, War Marvel. Sir Bar
ton and Milkmaid, while the latter
will depend upon Eternal and The
Wanderer.
The winter books, it is said, hold
these entries at even choice, and
sentiment is about divided as to the
holder Of the better hand. Both
will have many followers and il
looks as if more color will be add
ed to the Blue Grass classic this
year than for many a day.
1t will be a race between the
East and West. Ross candidates
representing the former and McClel-
lands the latter. Should both be
defeated it will be a terrible blow
to their followers and the winner
will undoubtedly pay some price
Some persons opine that Eternal
will not be able to carry his sensa-
tional burst of speed over a distance
Of ground, but IL has been shown
that very speedy horse gets so far
out in front that il he has any stay
ing qualities at all he cannot. be
caught. From all that Kelly show
ed last fall il is known that he al
ways was running at the end, and
again, his breeding makes him q
dangerous opponent.
On the other hand. The wanderer
is supposed to be a good horse, but
he probably will not start unless the
track is fast. He didn't like the
mud at Pimlico and after his couple
of races there he was nursed along
until late in the summer before he
showed just how really good he was.
