London, Oct. 25.-When the idea
that the late war, with itb four-year
ban on dancing, was actually over
at last began to permeate Britain,
sages and pessimists held up
despairing hands and opined that
the mania for dancing would soon
wear away.
/. Nothing so intense could be ex-
pected to last. England, staid and
sane as of yore, wouldn't be more
than mildly bitten by the bug
which Yankee officers, Y. M. c. A.
misses and "cullahed" camp enter
tainers had brought to these shores.
4 But the late and unlanlented war
has been over close into year, and
by all the reverberations from the
West End, Britain's adoption of the
Yankee dance craze, with its jazz
and tango, clang and clamor, hasn't
really done more than get off to a
slow and bunglesome start yet.
Watch it grow" and where will
it ever end" are the typed comments
of those daily and weekly journals
which build circulation among the
llousemaids and East Enders< by
chronicling each and every move
in the zone of white lights and 5
a. m. homeward taxis.
Literally scores of new dancing
clubs, salons" and so-called private
dancing parties have opened their
doors at liberal prices in Oxford
and Regent streets, in Piccadiily
and Hanover square. ~

Lifting Wheat Embargo
Is Urued hY Barnes

Washington, Oct. 25.-While de-
tending embargoes against wheat
exports and imports, Julius H.
Barnes, chairman of the United
States Grain corporation, told the
senate, agriculture committee today
that the embargoes should be an
nulled as quickly as possible. Ac-
ton either by the-president or con-
.gress would be necessary, he said.
Mr.. Barnes explained that the en-
bargoes had been ordered by Presi-
dent Wilson in an effort to hold
down the cost of food. It was
agreed last August to remove them,
but this action was rescinded "ow-
ing to the acute agitation on the
high cost of living and the possibil-
ity Of an advance in the cost of
food if the embargoes were lifted"
Mr.. Barnes emphasized that the
embargoes were not his policy.
II have felt" he said, "that this
government injection into business
should be stopped at the earliest
Dossib1e moment"

BUSY SIGNAL IS
FIRST IN GOLDEN
ROD. HANDICAP
Winner Causes Delay at Bar.
rier, But Takes Lead When
Line Is Sprung and
Wins Easily.

louisville, KY, Oct. 2s.-(Special
Telegram. )-E. R. Bradley's Busy
Signal accounted for the Golden
Rod handicap for juveniles over the
mile route, the feature of an excel
lent offering at Churchill Downs
Saturday afternoon.
Sixteen 2-year-olds faced the bar
rier in the Golden Rod handicap and
there was long delay, due chiefly
to the fractiousness of Busy Signal.
When the. barrier was sprung, how
ever, she went about her business
and rushed into the lead. She in
creased il as she went, and came
down the stretch II lengths in front
of Prince Hal.
The Iroquois handicap, at one
mile and an eighth, and six fur
longs event for best sprinters, held
places on the card. The former fell
to Raider, which got up in time to
beat Mimic H., nose. Buford was
third. The dash went to I Win.
which got in the last couple of
jumps to win from High Cost.
Gallaher Bros. Dresden" was
pounds the best of the dozen that
started in the second race and won
as her rider pleased, coming away
in the stretch with lightning rush.
The battle for the place was a
spirited one with Diana just lasting
to>beat- out Second Cousin and Tom
Logan.
Ed Trotter's colors were carried
to victory for the first time this
fall when his Hidden JEWELL out
stayed Lady Fair Play and Apple
jack II in the third race. The win
rer ran as if best and was we'll up
from the start, having slightly the
best of poor send-off. Boyle kept
him restrained behind the good
thing Applejack II until reaching
the stretch, when he drew out read
lily near the end, had to be urged to
outstay the fast coming but poorly
handled Lady Fair Play.
Raider scored a sensational VIC
tory in the mile and a furlong
handicap from Mimic II in the last
stride. In the last furlong if>looked
as if Raider might have to go over
the FINER fence, for Mimic II was
boring over against Buford and
forcing him over on Raider. The
latter succeeded in getting through,
however, and got up in time to win
out. Buford quit fast toward the
finish. Manager Waite and Polka
Dot were trailers after reaching the
stretch.

President Wilson was one man, but
thereafter entirely different from
what he, had been prior to that date.
He believed Mr.. Wilson did not
have any moral conviction on the
whole Of the injustice of the Ger-
man cause, but that after that date
he changed his views and attitude
completely in the belief that Ger
many had rejected his personal eff
forts and wanted nothing but a
"German>peaee."
Indications multiplied today that
President Wilson's own answer to
Senator McCumber would weigh
heavily in the evidence to be used
by Bethmann- H ollweg, thinner
mann, Ludendorff and others in
their defense and argument in JUS
tifcation Of their course, on the
ground that they had no faith, in
the sincerity of the presidents in
tentions.
Blow to Socialist Party.
Properly to understand the i'm
portarhe of President Wilson's
words in a political sense in Ger
many, it should be said that they
were the most severe blow that the
democratic and socialist parties
have received since the revolution.
The conservative and nationalist
press charge the democratic and So
cialist papers with suppressing the
utterance of TIE president, the po-
litical exploitation of the incident
giving the strongest impetus to the
right that the nationalist parties
have had for a long time.
1t was we'll planned tactical
move on the part OF, the investiga-
tors designed to offset these nation
alist activities, to open. at this
psychological moment with Bern
storff as political shock trooper
against the right in order to hang
the responsibility for Americas en-
trance into the war and Germany's
defeat definitely upon the old re-
gime.
Editorial pages 4 of American
newspapers for the latter half Of
last August are being hunted after
today. Bernstorff told of his last
conversation with Colonel House,
the breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tons, his trip home and arrival here,
and the six weeks delay prior to his
reception by the kiser and Luden-
dorff. -
Asked repeatedly about his eff
forts to prevent Americas entrance
into the war, he said: :.
Bernstorf Saw Defeat.
rFor me Americas entrance
meant the loss of the war for Ger
many. AS l saw it, the only means
of avoiding America going into the
war was to accept President Will
sons mediation. Without America
the allies would have had to come
to peace by agreement"
Bernstorff testified that Beth
nann-Hollweg received him two
days after his return to Berlin.
Asked what the then imperial chan
cellor said, the count replied that he
preferred to let Bethmann-Hollwe
tell that himself.
During the hearing Bernstorff
came rapidly to the foreground as
an important political figure. Both
the democratic and socia1-demo-
cratic press praise him highly, de-
claring that the investigation has
shown him a faithful servant of
the German people"
