Barney Willing to

Won't Lower Record

Indianapolis. May. 19.-Barney Old
field. Americas grand old man of the
racing game. takes radical issue with
those who predict the fall of DePal-
mas Indianapolis 50O-mile record OF
1884 miles an hour in this years Lib
Speedway May 81: in fact Barney Is
willing to bet a roll Of dough to this
effect.
Barney's contention is that in a long
race the physical endurance of the
driver is Of more importance than
the speed of the car. and that the
favorites of this years field are not
equal in staying power to Ralph De-
Palma at the. time he made his record,
DePalma included.
II used to be quite a driver myself"
remarked Oldfield. but not any more
Age will tell. 1t is tour years now
since Ralph DePalma hung up his
famous record, and you car bet your
life he will never again be in the
physical shape he was in at that time.
The same thing goes for Resta, who
chased him every foot of the way.
Concerning this argument of
physical endurance, you may remem-

distance at a heart-breaking pace.
The thing that stopped Anderson at
the half way post was simply infer

that's all.

into consideration. The weather on
the day of DePalma's feat was ideal
for record breaking, cool and cloudy.

kept the track from getting hot, saw
ing the tires"
At this iuncture Don Herr, another
retired racing celebrity. driver of
stutz cars, and relief driver for Joe
Dawson when he won his 1912 In
~dianapolis victory. ventured q few re-
marks on the other side of the argu-
ment.
Il" figure" said Herr. that any
falling off in the physical condition
of the drivers will more than be
made up by the greater ease of han
ding this years flock of cars. With
plenty of speed, it isn't necessary to
work quite so hard on the turns, and
the drivers can rest up a bit every
now and then, leaving them in as
good condition as the finish as be-
fore.
1.-THE reason Anderson broke down
III 1914 was simply that with a slower
], car he had to kick her in the tail
every foot of the a and this final
ly got his goat. The boys this year,
with much faster wagons can make
it a lot easier and still get DePalma's
record.
LAS for the weather conditions, !

more than enough during the las,
four years to Offset any handicap
that might result from a hot day, and
carburetion is a minor factor"
Despite Hers arguments. Oldfield

that his bankroli was prepared tt

Grand Forks Hits Heavy
But, Errors Are

Although outhit, Hatton took ad-

yesterday afternoon at Dacotah park
BY a score of Z to 6.
I1atton took an early lead, bringing

rally by knocking down an easy roller,
which was gobbled up. and thrown to

No scores were made during the
rest Of the game though several men
got on bases. Gilmore started the
game for Grand Forks. but was re-
placed by Goldberg in the seventh.
Both pitchers kept hits we'll scattered,
but hobbies AT inopportune time
proved their undoing. The Hatton
men were unable to CLEAN over six
hits off the local hurlers.
Friedler. the former Northern
league star, pitched a good game for
the visitors with the exception Of one

off his delivery.

The First Liberty Loan

Brfce G1agett, in Leslie's.
 | When the plans for financing Ameri- ca's part in the world war were taken up there was no precedent for the enor- nous scope of financial transactions which MT. McAdoo realized must be un- dertalen if Americas force was to be exerted promptly on the far-flung battle fields in France and Belgium. A new trail had to be blazed; new financial history made. Always anxious to get the best judgment of the ablest men available, the biggest bankers In the country were promptly summoned to Washington to give their opinions, and Into the conferences were brought men who had played a part in the financing of Americas war with Spain. tt
 MT. McAdoo promptly decided that this should be no bankers war, that sound economics forced the conclusion that the American people themselves, who were waging the war, should also finance it. So he concluded to go to the people with popular loan. The big question was, How much would the people loan their government at once, and what should the terms of the loan be? These ques- tions were put straightforward to the bankers and economists. I am divulging no secret in saying that most of them declared it would be disastrous to try to float a loan of more than S500, ,000, GOO. while
 
 These men were giving their honest opin- ion. based on their experience in bank ing and commerce and in floating loans for private corporations. They advo- cated high interest rate to appeal to the investors. and other attractive terms. MT. McAdoo weighed carefully every thing they said. for, in spite of his habit O, making quick decisions, every decision is carefully thought out. Then he startled his advisors by concluding to offer the American people a s2,000, ,O00, ,090 loan at 3h per cent, with certain tax exemp- tions. The result, when the American pie came forward with more than s. 00o0O0,000, was so successful that few now remember the pessimistic predictions of failure which followed immediately that decision. Almost the same procedure fol- lowed each successive loan, the bankers naturally advising caution, and MT Me- Adoo gambling with a sure vision on the patriotism of the American people.

 FORESAW DISASTER
 ID GERMAN TRADE
Albert Ballin Said That He Begged Authorities Not to Pursue Unrestricted
 Submarine Warfare
By Associated Press

Sidney, Australia, February 1.--Albert Eanin. general director of the Ham, burg American Steamship company. who As reported to have committed suicide just before the signing of the armistice, lad predicted disaster for the German overseas trade as an outcome of the war This is disclosed by the publication here of letter which Herr Ballin had writ ten in December, 1917. apparently to Dr. 2. Rothenau. a privy councillor at Berlin. copy of this letter was made public here by J. M. Paxton, resident of Sydney, who received it from a friend in London In it Ballin declared that whether Germany or England was vic. torious in the war the consequences to German foreign trade would be disas- trous. The letter reads in part
 Most of what we read in the news papers as to our preparedness for em- barking on brisk trade and manufac- lures as soon as peace has been con- cluded is, I fear, written with the manl- fest intention of heartening our people who are notor1ously ignorant of our actual economic conditions and all that a threatens them"
 He said that the German mercantile sarnarine was in "a perilous condition" and that the bill to re-establsh and strengthen it, which at the time of writ s ing was before the Reighstag, would show no results for at least five years. In that time Germany's great maritime competitors, BritaiR,- the United States and Japan and the neutrals, Norway Denmark and Holland, would profit enormously.
 Ballin reminded his friend that he (Ballin vainly begged Berlin authori- ties not to engage in unrestricted sub marine warfare, and he continued: L
 You and I know that the Americans are probably the most idealistic nation. on the earths surface In antagonizing America we have done disastrous thing, thing which will throw a cold shadow on our economic life for gen eration. " The latter part of Ballins letter ran:
 'But if I am concerned about our re- lations with the United States, am still more anxious about our relations with Britain. realize never before that ali the increase in our wealth. all the success which attended our enterprises in the year before the war were owing to our intercourse with the British em- pire Her home ports, her dominions and colonies. were freely opened to our shippers and traders. Sometimes I won- dered at this generosity, and even called 1t folly. Is it to be imagined for a mo- ment that those old relations will re- turn?

Some History Phases
 Uttered During War
By Associated Press

New York. February 1-The war has developed many dramatic phrases. slogans, terse epigrams or laconIc statements. Looking back over the per spective of four years of fighting it appears that the majority of these grew out of tense crises in battles. or marked historic moments when the fate of na- tions hung in the Balance.
 Take for example the slogan, They shall not pass" During the tremend- ous fighting in front of Verdun when the Germans made their great desper- ate drive to break through the French battle lines in 1916 this saying passed from lip to lip among the French sol diers gathered there in a long drawn battle to check the terrific onslaught of the Germans. How it originated is not clear. Some have attributed it to Mar shal Joffre, others to Marshal Petain, who was in command of the French fighting forces at Verdun. Others be- lieve the saying originated with the men in the ranks. At any event, they adopted it and for months while the Germans vainly threw their battalions upon the stubbornly defended forts around the French city, the saying,
 
 watchword at Verdun. And they did not pass.
 To Americans the sententious utter ance of General Pershing when he placed wreath oh the tomb of Lafay- cite in the Picpus cemetery in Paris conveyed a significant and an inspira- ton. Lafayette, we here" was all he said, but to the American, as well as to the Frenchman, it was bet than fo ha | ican, We are here for business and our business is to fight" It thrilled the hearts of General Pershing's people at home and the modesty of it filled them with glow of satisfaction. Another dramatic phrase which stirred the patriotism of the American people was that attributed to an Ameri- can commander at Chateau Thierry when he responded to the advice of French commanders to retreat by de- claring: "The American flag has been compelled to retire. This is unendura- ble. We are going to counterattack. These statements have been attributed to Maj.zGen. Robert l.. Bullard and to Maj. Gen. Omar Bundy Some observ- CTS have regarded this incident as the | turning point of the war. From that time the Americans advanced. The vic tory of Chateau Thierry followed and hereafter the German army retreated Vice Admiral William s. Sims, com manding the American naval forces in European waters, was asked when the first Yankee warships arrived in Eng land early in May, 1917. When will you be ready for business?" He replied. We can start at once. We made our preparations on the way over"
 There was a dramatic moment a great crisis in the worlds history, when. General Pershing placed the American army under the command of the then General Foch who had just been made commander of all the allied forces, but none of the phrases that General Persh- ing used were widely quoted as epi- gramatic. One which might so have

 It had only to come out" was the laeonic retort of Admiral Wemyss
 Later. when the surrendering German warships were escorted by the British fleet into British waters. Vice Admiral Beatty's historic signal after the en- emy's fleet had been moored read: The
