Race Started by Capt.

By OWEN A. MERRICK. 8

I More than $4,000 spectators scat
tered along the road from the little
city of Cochem to Coblenz wines,
sed the big Rhine Relay, staged BY
the army of occupation on April "a.
The big classic was captured by the
long distance stars of the 89th d.

Featuring the athletic carnival
held on an island in the Rhine, the
relay attracted the attention of I'll
followers of track athletics in tie
army of occupation. More than $50
long distance stars covered the re-
lays in the 30-mile grind.
Promptly at one o'clock the FIRST
relay men gathered at Cochem. "A
crowd of more than 1000 soldiers
and German villagers gathered at
the starting point when Captain H.
K Coulter, former Miami univer-
sity man sent the runners on the
way. a
Standing on the mark, the only
officer in the first relay, Captain
Paul Wilmington, of the Goth divi-
sion, al1-American football star, who
lead his division to victory in the
A. E. F. championships, ventured
the statement that his team would
be victor. The former Harvard star
followed this up by winning the
first relay for his team.
After the third relay the Goth d.
vision jumped into the lead, but in
turn was replaced by the .5th d.
vision runners, who had come up
from Luxembourg with a real repu-
tation.I
For IS miles the 5th division men
held the lead, but slowly the runners
from the Goth division began to
creep up and short distance from
Coblenz the two leading divisions
finished the relay together. Then
Potter of the 89th displayed some
real form, and although he fell cx-
hausted at the finish line, gave his
teammates lead Of fully 200 yards,
which was enough to insure victory,
as the other 89th athletes held~ tie
lead and Kendall raced into the big
athletic park where $4,000 spec
tators were awaiting the winner.
Kendall finished a lap ahead Of the
5th division runner. The teams
entered the park in the order named:
89th division. 5th division, Goth
division, Sd division, Sd army
troops, 4th corps, 1st division.
The runners followed the Moseile
river to the engineers. The narrow
streets in the little villages along
the course were packed with Ger
man men, women and children,
while the doughboys stationed in the
various camos along the route had
an opportunity to cheer for their
favorites.
At the conclusion Of the race, 1t.
Col. R. D. johnson, athletic officer
Of the Third army, who has worked

medals were presented to the MEM

Knights of Columbus.

''the taking of this title was a sheer
and shameless imposture."
Is there curse on the house Of
Habsburg? During the reign Of Fran
els Joseph the world talked much Of
such a curse, and many believed that
it was being fulfilled. Certainly the
private life Of Francis Joseph was the
most tragic. Though he reigned 6S
years and died of natural causes, the
hand of fate was heavy on the house.
Francis Joseph married in 1854. after
a romantic courtship, Elizabeth.
daughter of Macmillan, Duke of Ba-
varia. Three daughters and one son
were born to them. In 1867 his broth
err Maximilian, emperor of Mexico,
was executed In 1889 the crown
prince Rudolph committed suicide-or
was assassinated-at Meyerling. The
same year the Empress Elizabeth was
assassinated by an Italian anarchist.
And then came the assassination on
June %, 1914, at Sarajevo in Bosnia,
Of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the
heir apparent, and his wife. 1t was
this assassination which formed the
pretext for plunging the whole
world into the great war.
Charles, the present head Of the
House of Habsburg, was born in 1887.
He married Princess Zita Of the Bour-
bon house of Parma and has two
sons. He is oldest son of Archduke
Otto, the younger brother Of the as
sassinated Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand. whose own sons were excluded
from the succession when he married
Countess Sophie Chotek. the daugh-
ter of a Bohemian nobleman. He
succeeded Francis Joseph November
81, 1916. He abdicated November IL.
1918.
Charles and family fled to Switzer-
land when his empire went to smash.
He first occupied Wartegg castle on
/ the shore Of Lake Constance. The
Swiss government, however, suggest
ed that he remove as far as possible
from the Austrian frontier. So the
former emperor Of Austria is now oc-
cupying the ancient castle at Prangins,
above the lake Of Geneva. This cas-
tie was once occupied by Joseph Bona

beautiful grounds-altogether very

America has become Independent of
other countries in the production of

we are conceded to excel, as in the
designing and making Of tailored

several very good reasons for this,
