Toward Western States.
Omitted Press Service)

BISMARK, N. D., Sept. 10.-"Men
in despair destroy governments" de-
clared President Wilson in his ad-
dress here this afternoon.
The President declared that the
question now before the United Sta
tes in its consideration of the Peace
Treaty is flatly one of Peace or War.
The entire world is now looking
eagerly for the peace treaty to put
a definite end to the unsettled con-
ditions everywhere. Mr.. Wilson in
sisted that the failure of the treaty
would bring despair to the hearts of
all peoples. Such condition will be
filled with danger for all established
government.
The President declared that the
Peace Treaty will not work without
the League of Nations. Since prac-
tically the entire world is waiting up
on the treaty, Mr.. Wilson said that
Americas continued delay is injuring
the whole world.
The address of the President was
delivered here in a small theatre seat
ing only thousand persons. Scat
tered throughout the audience were
a number of Sioux Indians Some of
these were dapper in smart modern
American dress, while others were
clothed in native costume, including
gorgeous blankets that attracted the
notice of members of the presidential
party.
Indians maintained their tradition
al stolidity and sat throughout the ad-
dress with unchanged expressions.
Otherwise, the audience, though small
was highly appreciative.

BORDERLAND
ROAD RACE
Arrangements For Ell PasO
To Phoenix Speed And
Strength Test For Auto
mobiles Are Entirely Com
pleted.

Ell PASO, Texas, Sept. 10.-Pre-
dictions that all speeo records set in
former races between Ell Paso and
Phoenix, will be shattered in the COM
ing event, are freely made in auto
mobile circles in this city. Much road
work is being done on the highways
throughout the southern part of Ari-
zona, and roads which were badly
washed out during the summer floods
will be regular boulevards compared
with the road conditions which have
confronted former road racers.
M. L. Naquin, one of the promoters
of the race today, said, that in his
opinion the 96 miles between Ell Paso
and Deming will be covered in less
than two hours. On the other hand,
bets have been placed that not over
35 miles will be averaged by any car
throughout the race.
"I believe that an hourly average
of between forty and forty five miles
will be attained by the winning car"
declared Mr.. Naquin, "There are more
good roads along the route than ever
before, and better cars will be enter
ed. These two factors alone will add
at least ten miles to the present re-
cord"
Hugh Miller of Phoenix, who won
the last race in 1916, made an aver
age of 81 1-2 miles for the whole
race, which was six miles faster than
the time made on the first race.
Donald Dunbar of Phoenix, repre-
senting the Phoenix promoters met
with Mr.. Naquin, Barney Cool, and
K. M. Roberts of the Ell Paso Cham
ber of Commerce yesterday, and de-
fnitely decided to start the race at
Ell Paso Sunday November 2, to finish
in Phoenix, Monday afternoon, No
vember 8, the first day of the Ari-
zona State Fair. 1t is probable that
the route taken will be the same as
in former races, through Douglas,
Bisbee, Tucson, and towns en- route,
although there is a chance that the
route will be switched to run through
Clifton, MoreHci, Globe, and other
towns in eastern Arizona.
