MRS. VINCENT ASTOR
SOME MULE RACER
Spurts to Dead Heat With
Mrs. Webb.
Special Despatch to TEE suN.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, Sept. 16.-Mrs. Vincent
Astor. driving her gray pet mule and
Mrs ]. Griswold Webb. driving a black
mule, one of the favorites on her large
farm just north of this village, guided
their animals to a dead heat in the
mule race, which was the principal at
traction at the Duchess county fair at
Rhinebeck to-day
Supreme Court Justice w. Popan
Platt and Supreme Court Justice
Joseph Morschauser were requested to
act as the judges of the event, and
after a long consultation they decided
that II was a dead heat.
Mrs. Webb led all the way round to
the one-eighth mile post when Mrs
Astor's mule made an extra squirt, and
from there to the quarter II was a pretty
race. Neither of the animals was going
at record breaking speed. but when they
reached the quarter 1t was a neck and
neck race,
In the stretch Mrs. Webb was lead
ing by two lengths. and II looked as
though she had a walk away. Mrs
Astor applied the whip to the animal
and II started on a gallop. and that
gallop startled Mrs. Webb so that she
forgot to urge her animal. and Mrs.
Astor brought the old gray up ts dead
heat

HE AWAITS TRANSCRIPT


WATERFOWL. N. Y. Sept. 16,-Secre-
tary Of State Lansing returned to his
summer home, Henderson Harbor,
fourteen miles from here, to-day and
granted an interview, the first he has
given on the charges made befoye the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
by William C. Bullitt last Friday. Sec
retary Lansing has been entirely out
OF touch with the world since last Fri
day. when he started for the Galloup
Islands, where he has been fishing.
What have you to say in regard to
the charges of Mr.. Bullitt?" Secretary
Lansing was asked.
Il do not know whether 1 shall
make a statement or not in connec-
I ton with Mr.. Bullitts assertions. 1
nave, up to the present time, only the
newspaper report of such. 1 shall
await the arrival of the stenographic
minutes, which expect will reach me
from Washington, and as soon as 1
read these 1 will be better able to an
swer that question"
On Friday, just before Secretary Lans-
ing started on his fishing trip, a news
despatch containing statements of Mr..
Bullitt was read to the Secretary of
state AT that time he asserted he would
nave no comment to make. Since then
many kilograms and long distance tele-
phone calls have reached the Lansing
summer home. and soma of these-per.
haps some reaching here this afternoon
may have changed his mind relative to a
statement. When Mr.. Lansing reached
his summer home to-day he Immediately
went over the kilograms and letters. 1t
is said some of these kilograms were in
code from Washington
The next question asked Mr.. Lansing
was:
What have you to say to an Asso-
ciated Press despatch to the effect that
the United States has asked Japan for
the return of Kiao-Chau to China?"
Il do not care to make any comment
upon that without full information"
Secretary Lansing replied.
What about a report from London
to-day that an authorized denial of the
statements made by Mr., Bulltt has ap-
peared in the English papers?"
Il have made no statement one way
or the other, in regard to Mr.. Bullitt's
testimony, and If such denial appeared
in the London papers it was entirely
without my knowledge. Naturally enough
If there was a denial I would know it,"
Have you had any word from Pres-
dent Wilson during the last few days?"
Mr.. Lansing was asked
II have not" he replied.
The opinion prevails that Secretary
Lansing will lssns a statement after he
has read the minutes of the Bullitt
charges.
This question also was asked Mr..
Lansing
"Is It true that you rendered your
resignation to President Wilson in Paris
last spring. and that the President re-
fused to accept II at the time and asked
you to say nothing about it?"
There is not a single word of truth
in any such statement" Secretary Lans-
ing replied emphatically.

HONOLULU, Sept. 16.-The United

ernment to fix a definite date for the
return of Kiao-Chau, according to
cable advices received here to-day by
the Nippu Jji, Japanese daily news
paper. The cable added that the jap

TOXIC, Sept. 16.-According to the
Jill Shimpo, the United States Govern
ment has requested a memorandum
from Japan, stating first, that Japan
has no aggressive designs on the Prov
ince of Shantung; second. that ia
pan Is to abandon her rights to the
establishment of an exclusive Japa-
nese settlement in Tsingtao, and,
third, announcing the exact date for
the return OF Shantung to China and
also the date for the withdrawal of
the japanese troops there.
The newspapers point out that 1t
will be difficult to fix the dates, as
these must be settled by direct nego-
tiations between Japan and China.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Oficials here
in the absence of President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing will not comment
upon the report that the United States
has asked Japan to set a definite date
The general impression in official circles
is that the report is well founded
Japan's answer to such a request by
the Government would have an impor
tant bearing on the Senate's considera-
ton OF the peace treaty. as one of the
objections to 1t on which opposition is
being centred is the Shantung provision.
Administration supporters of the treaty
feel that a definite announcement by
japan setting a date for the return of
Kiao-Chau would go far to remove that
point.
Various Japanese officials have stated
that Kiao-Chau would be returned. but
time never was set.
ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S SPE-
cIAL TRAIN, SIssoN, Cal, Sept. l6.-As-
sociated Press, dispatches from Honolulu
quoting Japanese sources to the effect
that the United States had asked the
japanese Government to set a definite
time limit for the return of Kiao- Chau
to China were shown President Wilson
en- route to California this afternoon
The President declined to comment on
the news reports, but 1t was understood
that he has not received any information
from the State Department relative to
any action 1t may have taken concerning
the Shantung situation.

Huge Task Carried Out.

Its practical consummation was a
problem Of the organization of the eco
Domic strength of the United States and
it's coordination with the remaining eco
nomic strength of Europe, and. in large
areas, the imposition OF absolute dicta-
torship over economic forces. Thus, the
shipping of the world required sufficient
coordination TO transport 30,000, 900 of
tons of supplies from all quarters of the
globe to Europe. 1t required the pro-
vision Of credits to those countries, whose
total exhaustion abolished all hope OF
normal payment 1t required the in
sistence upon payment from those who
had gold or commodities. 1t required
sufficient coordination of purchase in this
vast quantity of supplies that the mar
kets of the world should be affected In
the least possible degree.
Every frontier was the scene of more
or less military friction until at one mo-
ment there were twenty-five little wars
in progress. Many of these new Gov
ernments were without experience or
even without the existence OF depart
ments for the conduct OF either the trans
portation or distribution OF supplies.

BOHEMIA IS RICH COUNTRY
More Than Able 70 Measure Up With
Any 81 the provinces" Under
Austrian Sway.

In so far as any state is self-sus-
tanning under modern conditions,
that Of the Czecho-Slovaks will be
able to stand upon its own feet.
Even prior to the war, economically
and financially, Bohemia was one Of
the richest of the Austrian "prov-
inces." Sixty-two and seven-tenths
per cent of the burden of Austrian
taxation was borne by the Czech
countries, while the rest of Austria
carried only 1913 per cent. And now,
freed from oppressive taxation, dis
eliminating in favor of financially
passive" Austrian lands, the
Czechs will be even richer. It is
worth while to call particular atten-
ton to Czecho-Slovak resources,
stated by authorities: The Bohe-
milan lands surpassed what we're
once the other Austrian lands in the
production of grain. Thirty-eight
per cent Of the grain lands of the
former Austrian empire is found in
Bohemia; Of the coal found in Aus
tria, SO per cent is mined in the b.
hemian lands; 60 per cent of the
Austrian iron is found there; 80 per
cent, it not more, of the sugar fac
tories of Austria are located in the
lands of the Bohemian crown; the
textile industry is one of large pro-
portions and leather, paper, furni-
ture and electro-technical indus
tries are OF Importance.
