ASK FOR PASSPORTS
TO RACE In CUBA

That the winter racing in Cuba Is
becoming more popular each year
must be acknowledged. From the state
Department comes the information
that nearly 10000 passports-hav been
requested by citizens of this country
who want to go to Cuba this winter.
While not all Of these have been in
spired by the hundred days of races
to be given in Havana, the majority
come for no other reason.
If Jim Coffroth can open his track
at Tia Juana. $1,000 more passports
will be needed. Racing still commands
the attention of sportsmen, other &C.
tivities to the contrary.

HARVARD PLAYERS
In GOOD CONDITION

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 9.--Most
of Harvard's varsity football play
ers returned to Cambridge from
Princeton today and not exactly in
high spirits over their showing at
Nassau. Even the ability to tie
the score at the eleventh hour did
not make the eleven forget the op-
portunities to drive home touch
downs that were neglected. The
eleven, which now has two weeks
going before the Yale game. came
out of the desperate battle at
Princeton in good trim. Ralph Hor-
ween, who again injured his shoul-
der. was the most important cas-
ualty. but even he will be out again
in another week and is expected to
be available to start against Yaie
on November %.
Arnold Horween received a hard
kick on the back and will go easy
for few days. while Desmond hurt
his knee. and it is possible he will
not play against Tufts.

ROSS AND HILDRETH
ARE RACING RIVALS

Rivalry between horsemen never
has been so great as that being
shown by the respective stables of
Sam Hildreth and Commander ]. K.
L Ross in Maryland. In every stake
event these two turf leaders have
entered top notch performers, and
each bitterly contests for the purse.
It was the Hildreth horses that kept
Sir Barton from being the running
champion of the year until last Fri
day. when Sir Barton added more
than $4,000 to his winnings and
brought the total amount to $4,000
for the year. a sum greater than that
credited to any other horse. The
two stables are still fighting and
displaying some wonderful racing
through the fight.

Prepared for Fight.

The racing associations in Mary
land expect to have the sport con-
tinued again, and this time they
will go before the legislature better
prepared to make a good night, for
now they unquestionably have the
support OF the public as they have
never had it before. 1t is also the
general belief that enough IiberaIE-
minded men OF all parties have been
elected to the legislature this year
to insure support for the organizs-
tions.
Racing has probably never at
tained greater popularity in Mary
land than this year. and especially
with the autumn meetings now in
progress. The various organizations
which control Havre de Grace.
Bowie, Laurel and Pimlico have
brought to Maryland the very finest
horses in the country now IN train
ing. and have provided the best
sport the racegoers have seen in
many years.
The present meeting at Pimlico
has rivaled Saratoga for excellence
of the daily cards. the distribution
of money in purses having attracted
the top-notch performers. The at
tendance has been evidence Of the
popularity Of the sport with the
public. Pimlico has lacked accom-
mod ations for all those who wished
20 see the sport. Should racing
be continued with the consent Of
the legislature, IL L. quite probable
that improvements will be made to
take care of larger crowds at fu-
ture meetings. the attendance this
season having been beyond the sN-
pectations OF the racing officials.

THE DOLLAR NOW AND THEN

The saying has come up from the
dark ages that the way to make money
is to buy cheap and to sell dear.
AS the Government of the United
States is pointing out to its citizens,
one way to do this is to buy standard
securities when general prices are
high and hold them for redemption
+ when prices are lower. w. S. S. pos
tiers urge investors to use the pres
ent Glow power" dollar to buy Gov
eminent securities and to receive in
redemption at a later period high
power dollars.
Here is how it works.
Before the war, you earned,
say $500 day. Now you earn, say
$500 for doing the same work. But
you can't buy any more with your
five dollars than you could with your
three dollars-other prices have gone
up in proportion to the price of your
labor.
If, some years after the war is over,
prices and wages decrease somewhat
you may, for example, be earning and
spending $500 per day. Your War
Savings Stamps become due and the
Government gives you back your $3.50,
Of the then value of nearly q days
labor, plus your SIT interest. In
terms of days labor the Government
is giving back four days more than it
received from you besides your SIT
interest. This changing value of the
dollar has made many persons richer
and others poorer without their konw-
ing exactly how it happened. Now
is the chance to join the class Of those
who are going to be made richer, and

few feet Of him as. he sat upon ia
BILE swinging his legs like a boy and
to listen as he answered freely and
frankly all questions that were put to
him.
1t was a Wilson somewhat greyer,
somewhat more lined as to counte-
nance, and a trife older looking, that
we saw, but 1t was Wilson who wore
that smile of happiness and relief and
confidence, and it seemed to be a Will
son of broader views, of more liberal
expression, and much more approach
able than ever.
Custom has it that President may
not be quoted directly upon what he
says at such talks, but may say with
out departure from that rule that he
predicted to US flatly-almost defiant
ly, it seemed-that the League of Ma
tions must, and would, be accepted, no
matter what opposition there might
be to it. 1t was only during this dec
laration that the smile vanished and
his face was grave and set. After he
had expressed himself he was laugh
ing and radiant again.
All America read, that Thursday
evening, the Presidents address to
the Senate. How he said that "all the
peoples of the world had demanded of
the Peace Conference that it should
create such a continuing concert of
free nations that would make wars of
aggression and spoilation, such as this
that has just ended, forever impossi-
ble." And again, that "the League Of
Nations is not merely an instrument
to adjust and remedy old wrongs I'M
der new treaty of peace; it is the
only hope for mankind" And then,
that "a cry had gone forth from ev-
cry stricken home in every stricken
land from which sons and brothers and
fathers had gone forth to the great
sacrifice, that such a sacrifice would
never again be exacted." And finally
his peroration: eve cannot turn back.
We can only go forward with lifted
eyes and freshened spirit, to follow
the vision. 1t was of this we dream
ed at our birth. America shall in
truth show the way. The light
streams upon the path and nowhere
else.'
But all America should have felt
the thrill of the words as Woodrow
Wilson voiced them in the somber
Senate Chamber, and all America
should have listened to the applause
that broke all precedents of that awe
some place, and should have seen the
thousands that lined Washington ave-
nue. in a driving rainstorm just to
glimpse the Peace Bringer pass from
the White House to the Hill and back
again. Such an experience strength
ened ones faith in this nation.
1t seemed to one humble observer
of all these scenes, that no matter
who opposes Woodrow Wilson, the
American people are with him and
will remain with him.
And those who are the heart and
soul of America--the plain People of
the nation-will see to it that Ameri-
ca is not swerved from the destined
course upon which Woodrow Wilson
is plotting her.--Joseph Jefferson
O'Neill.
