Ten thousand Ford "baby" tanks

German spies found this out. Ger
man spies knew that the U-boat had
failed because of the barrage of mines
that the British and American navies
had strung across the North sea. Ger
man spies sent word to the general
staff that in spite of their best efforts
to check the Americans at the home
base, they were outgeneraled. SO the
German staff learned that the Ameri-
cans had thrown their unlimited re-
sources into the scales with the allies,
and the German staff turned yellow"
and quit.
That mighty preparation of which
the above Is but fragmentary tale, is
the reason why the Victory Liberty
loan Is the last of the war loans. Had
the war gone on there would have
been a fifth, sixth, seventh, an
eighth loan-loans until the German
hordes had been crushed and sent back
into the heart of the fatherland. The
need for these was eliminated by the
mailed fist of our great preparation.

Man O. War won easily and proved
conclusively that he is the 2-year-old
champion of race horses that have
won this classic since its first run

beat Salvador, but many prominent
horsemen who saw today's race de-
clared that Man O. War is better
than any of them, with the possible
exception OF the late James r.
Keene's Colin.
After a delay OF eight minutes at
the post, due in part to the impa-
thence of the champion, which broke
through the barrier several times,
the ten contenders were sent away
to good starts. Man O War broke

the fast breaking Dominique close
up, but never able to reach the
leader.

ceptibly all the way to the wire,
while Dominique just lasted to beat
