OF these illimitable needs the industry

CHAPTER I.
ParaIY1ed Industry.

T WENT abroad TO learn at first
hand something OF what the
- war had done to the finances OF
Europe. I had gone but a short way
in that investigation before I perceived
that there was something far more
fundamental and important to inves-
tigate than finances.
Perhaps nothing worse than ma
tional bankruptcy with its attendant
results can happen to a people, 1 be-
lieve, however, that something more
far reaching and more disastrous than
mere bankruptcy has happened to a
number Of European nations.
The most profoundly significant
thing that I sensed In Europe is the
DISCRIMINATION and paralysis OF indus
trial production. The paralysis is not
confined to the war zone. It extends
20 the industries of the neutral
countries. So long as it continues
there is danger OF revolutionary de-
velopment and OF Bolshevil. ten
rencies. Wherever unrest deve'ons
into Bolshevism, that new name
for an old disease anarchy, there
is danger OF contagion. and the dis
ease is liable to spread to adjacent
territory. This makes 1t necessary to
regard Europe as a unit in any fore
cast OF future conditions, for no gov
eminent is strongly enough fortified
against the inroads OF this microbe OF
Docil contagton to permit its future

Prague. In Hungary, Bolshevism has
done what Militarism failed to do. In
Rumania, n purely agricultural coun-
try there were left almost no cattle or
farm machinery. Both in Poland and
in Rumania not over one-third OF the
fields will be planted this year. Ru-
mania is one of the great sources OF
grain exports to other countries of
Europe. Her expectation prior to the
war was 100000 900 bushels, including
wheat. barley, rye. oats, corn and mil
let. The Premier of Rumania told me
that under the best of crop conditions
Rumania would be able to raise this
year only a sufficient amount of food
for her own population. Serbia was
utterly despoiled. There Is choice
irony in her railroad statistics. After
the armistice there were nine locomo-
tives in Serbia.

destroyed. In East Poland there is a
tract OF land 200 miles broad and 400
miles long where the Russian armies
decided so to devastate the country
that the German armies could not fol-
low them. There the houses We're Of
wood, ana all were burned. The Rus
sian army endeavored to evacuate the
country Of the whole population, and
the population started toward Russia
in advance OF the retreating Russian
army.
The retreatng Russian army trav-
elled faster than the refugees and
marched through them. Then the pur-
suing German army pressed on and
marched over these people. They
were left without food, clothing, or
shelter. Four hundred thousand
starved. To-day that great territory,
the size of Kansas, is barren and with
out means of sustaining life. The in
dustry OF Warsaw was Systematically
sacked, as was that of most cities on
the eastern front.

situation becomes little better. Few

Blackie Daw, running to his best form
accounted for the feature race, at one
mile, at Churchill Downs this afternoon
The son of Transvaal was at home in
the deep going and after laying off the
fast pace set by CALI CurcJ he moved
up, rounding into the stretch and came
on to score by wide margin. War God
the favorite, finished second.
For the fourth consecutive time the tai
ent got away to good start when they
centered on Green Gold. which just man
aged to get home in front of Subahdar
with Redland following. The trio put uI
a spirited finish with necks separating
them at the end.
George NJ. Hendrie's Destroyer was a
real good thing in the second race and
he was backed to the utmost His victory
WAS an easy one, and 1t only entailed a
fast gallop for him to be in front from
the start and win under hard restraint
as his rider pleased.
The third race brought in its wake a
big upset in the victory of Merry Prin-
cess, which won in a big romp from Jack
Hare Jr. and American Ace. Boyle's re-
markable handling of the filly was re-
sponsible for her victory as the Bradley
contract rider slipped into the lead with
rush at the half mile ground and held
the other starters safe thereafter. Jack
Hare Jr. was given a weird ride, Murray
keeping him under restraint and finally
managed to get clear sailing at the
stretch, but he was not good enough to
overhaul the leader. American Ace stood
a drive gamely in the stretch and out
gained George Starr for third position
at the end. Colonel Livingston. which
was making his first start since last
spring, quit after showing the most speed
for quarter Of a mile. John o recov-
cred for the talent in the fourth race

have been the winner but for being
rushed through an impossible place at

minated in Boyle being forced to take
back as Groth steered John 0 close to
