Bible institute nights, said the preacher.
Mrs. Kress often came home late. He
would ask where she had been. He con-
tinues:
THE plaintiff always turned my ques-
ton off by saying. Institute was out a
little later than usual tonight and |
walked home.'" with whom did YOU
WALK" he would ask, and Mrs. Kress
would not answer.
The pastor said he spoke to both his
wife and Lasswell concerning the situa-

Maddens Light Wine Wins In, Driving Finish
Two Classics
On Racing
Card To-day
Wi;hers and Fashion Stakes
Offering at Belmont Park:
Sir Barton Is Favorite

Inc best racing programme that the
metropolitan folk have seen so far
should be provided this afternoon at
Belmont Park, if bad weather or the
inherent timldity of the owners does
not prompt the wholesale scratching
that has marred both the Jamaica and
Belmont meetings so far.
Two classics rich in prize money and
tradition will be offered in the With
ers and the Fashion stakes. The first
mentioned, which has the customary
place of the feature of the card, is for
three -year-olds at mile. The Fashion
is for year-old FLIES, dash of
five furlongs over the straight course.
The Mineola Handicap, at a mile, for
three year-olds and upward, and a
steeplechase, at about two miles, are
additional features.
The Withers, which dates back to
the old Jerome Park and the good old
DAYS of 1874, and the Fashion, which
was inaugurated in 1897 at Norris
Park, are exceptionally highly priced
classics Of the metropolitan season for
the respective classes. Perhaps be-
cause Of the recent rain and the un-
certainty of to-day's track conditions
the nominations for the Withers have
not come up to expectations.
Only three have been named-Com-
mander j. X. l.. Rosss wonderful Sir
Barton, winner of the Louisville Derby
and the Preakness; j. W. McClelland's S
Eternal, which trailed Sir Barton in
both events, and W. R. Goes imported
filly Terentia. This race will give Mr..
McClelland one more chance for re-
vcnge against Commander Ross in the
friendly feud which has existed be-
tween them since Eternal took the
measure of Billy Kelly at Laurel last
fall
Johnny Lotus, who will have the
mount on Sir Barton, declares the colt
the best racehorse he ever straddled
Sir Barton undoubtedly will be a
prime fayorite with to-day's crowd.
The Fashion has attracted much
more representative field. The entries
are ten in number. Cinderella
and Betty j. are two that have
proved their worth on local tracks.
Kallipolis, which ran so we'll over the
Maryland tracks; LOrpheline, Mari
anne, Sugarmint, lndiscretion and Rol-
licking Airs are others that have been
racing, while Masked Dancer and Bon
ME Mary are two highly touted un-
knowns Of the Clar and Coe stables re-
spectively.

Captain Archie Roosevelt, in the cur

his series of stories of conditions that
ary Force during the earlier months of
the war.
Regular officers, promoted by the
seniority rule, evinced, in most cases
he says, an ineradicable purpose to
fight the Germans on Indian war prin-
ciples. Staff work was execrable, he
charges, blunders that worked havoc
with morale and cost many lives were
frequent.
His chief ground of criticism, how
ever, is the lack of food and equip
ment during the period of intensive
training in bitter cold weather prior
to the Cantigny campaign.
Colonel Roosevelt the captains
father, and Mrs. Archie Roosevelt, sup
piled the shoes the men of the captain
company wore during the battle OF
Cantigny.
Directing attention to what he calls
'roseate falsities" industriously circu-
lated with regard to the excellent army
service, Captain Roosevelt says:
ITO refutc the deliberate lies put
forth by those who wish to show what
their efforts accomplished, | Will list
some Of the supplies of our division
when in the trenches nine months after
we had declared war on Germany:
"Shoes Mostly English and French
The English shoes did not fit, and were
the cause of most of our foot troubles
"Uniforms A great many British
uniforms, actually equipped with but
tons stamped with the royal insignia
Some Of our men would not stand this
and ripped the buttons off, but most
Of us were only too glad to get the
British uniforms, which were far su
perior to the thin, shoddy American
uniforms.
"Caps-French. Manufactured il

the United States were so ridiculous
that even the General Staff made nc
effort to force them on us.
"Airplanes and generally
condemned French machines.
ARTILLERY horses Condemned French
horses
"Field rtillery-French.
Signal equipment-French. with in.
structions written in French"
Captain Roosevelt also lists French
automatics and machine guns and Brit
ish mortars and ammunition. The only
entirely American equipment in the Is,
Division was rifles, but he instances
