ETERNAL TAKES
 BROOKLYN RACE
 WITH 6 TO 1 ODDS
Colt Repays Confidence of His Hackers in Other Events
 Purchase Wins Glory.

New York, June 23.-J. w. McClel- lands three-year- colt Eternal, by Sweep-Hazel Burks, won the historic Brooklyn Handicap at one mile and furlong over the Aqueduct race track today, 1:4S 4-5. The popular favorite, Purchase, was giving Jumps of weight to all the other horses in the race finished second, three lengths behind the winner and foul lengths in front of Questionnaire, ar extreme outsider in the wage ring which took third money. The win ner was quoted at 6 to 1 at which he was heavily backed by many who have been following him in his last four or five races, and the colt made up for his previous disappointments by his victory today. Many shrewd handicappers selected Eternal as they believed he was simply thrown into the race with the light impost of 105 pounds.
 The glory of the race however, really belongs to Purchase, which carrying 117 pounds, spent great deal of his energy by unruly actions at the barrier where he almost un- seated Jockey Loftus three times.
 The value of the purse to the win ner was $4 $50.

BEST THEATRE.

Cecil B. DeMille, is one of the giants of photoplay art A picture which he has directed is a special in every sense of the world-special in theme, in production, in story, in elaborateness.
 Cecil B. DeMille's latest production "For Better, For Worse" an Art craft special feature which is being shown at the Best theatre again to- day discusses the most vital modern problems now engaging public atten- tion. Of course. it would be impossible to deal with all the problems in a single picture, so MT. DeMille has taken one of the most important an- gles of the subject-the status of the man who stayed at home instead of going to France. The story was written by Edgar Selwyn, and is is scenarized by Jeanie Macpherson. and it is an extremely powerful and gripping picture drama.

ENOUGH SUGAR FOR NEEDS

Estimates declare that sugar cron, in principal eastern countries T1 wll show decrease of l.5S16s7 tona ,a from last season. The decrease n British India, is estimated at sqo 900 tons Java, 519,637 tons. A,, tralia, 100000 tons. and the phiT ppines, 10000 tons. This decrease represents about 9.2 per cent of tbs world output of 17,131 ,609 tons last year. In 1913-14 the world product ion was 18,667,399 tons, a failing off for this season of about 13.S per cent
 European beet sugar crops for l918-19 are estimated at 3,693OO tons, compared with S,179,O13 in the pre-war year, decrease of more than 50 per cent during the four years of hostilities. The result of this shortage is shown even now, as prices in Europe, with the exception of Denmark, are higher than here by from 12 to 45 per cent.
 The chief ray of hope for a larg. CT sugar supply lies in our own south and in Cuba. From the island comes word that the sugar crop is larger than ever, so that even though the east may reduce its output there will be enough on hand for all ordin ary needs-New York Commercial.

AMERICANS HAD A GREAT PHONE
 SYSTEM ABROAD
That of Army of Occupation One of Most Complete Ever
 Established.

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 Coblenz, May 25.-At the time the Americans uegan withdrawing from
 Germany the United States army had perfected one of the finest telephone systems in Europe. From the head quarters of the Third Army in Coblenz 50 long distance lines had been set up and it is possible for the command ing general to sit in his office and talk with American officers in Lon- don, Berlin, Vienna, Rotterdam, Brus- sels, Antwerp, Paris and various other points in France.
 The army of occupation has a tele- phone system closely resembling the best commercial system in the United States. On the top floor of the head quarters building in Coblenz a nine position switchboard was installed soon after the Americans reached the Rhine. Scattered throughout Coblenz are twenty private branch exchanges of the various units of headquartefrs Connected to this system are more than four hundred subscribers" in addition to the fifty long distance lines.
 Within the German occupied area there has been established by the Signar Corps under the direction of Colonel Parker Hit, chief signal of- ficer, network of wires connecting, the various units of the Thirl army. Direct lines connect with all the corps and divisions, approximately 16,000 miles of wire being in services
 This extensive plant has not. how ever, been built by the Third army but consists almost altogether of the German lines taken over by the Signal Corps and so arranged to meet the needs of the army. Sufficient circuits were left, however, for the civilian population to carry on their business.
 More than 15,000 calls are regis tered daily on the Coblenz switch board. With the establishment of ex- change in Coblenz it was necessary to employ operators who could speak English, French and German. The fifteen operators on duty in Coblenz are all members of the Women's Tele- phone corps and have been in the ser vice more than year. The chief oPNtNe'i nioS iiClSll COOk, was q former employe of the American Telephone company in New York. Previous to joining the American Ex- peditionary Force, Miss Cook spent six years as instructor for the Bell system in offices in Chicago, Minnea- polls. Omaha, Cleveland, Detroit and Memphis.
 The word "Doodlebug" is the code name of the Third army switchboard in Coblenz, the corps and divisions also retaining the code names that were assigned them during the war. On the back of twenty-page tele- phone directory issued by the Third army the artists conception of a ''doodlebug" has been reproduced in the shape of a bug made up of a com hination of sabres, rifles and an aer ial bomb.
 All the apparatus, including switch boards, telephone instruments and in fact everything except the wires, is of American manufacture and is to be taken out when the Americans in foce say goodbye to the Rhine and for France and hone.

HOUSE PASSES STATE POLICE BILL,

Stormy scenes occurred in the
House Of Delegates last week. the
cause being the consideration OF the
state Police bill. BY a vote Of Al to
~ the bill was tabled Wednesday hut
was taken up again on Friday. The
nrst effort to take the bill from the
table was defeated by vote of 43
10 AZ but later in the day the bill
was sdken up by vote of A to 80.
BY majority Of ten, the bill to be
known on the statute books as the
state Protective Bill passed the House
OF Delegates Monday, the 25th, by a
vote Of AZ to 81. The passage of the
measure followed q day of debating.
~ransling. and personal and general
attacks-tne final action upon the
question being withheld until late in
the afternoon, and 1t was $50 O'Clock
when the House finally adjourned.
The majority for the bill was in
creased by tho defeat Of the Wysong
measure-it being placed on the
table by the vote OF 43 to 80. A GER
tain number of independent voters
OF the House favored this measure
and when 1t was defeated stated that
the only other method Of providing
protection to be through the passage
or the State Protective Bill, and voted
Tor 1t. Others wanted fair play for
both bills and switched in the various
tabling motions whenever one bill
seemingly had the advantage.
Delegate McClintic, who through
cut The fight led the forces in favor
OF its passage, was delegated by
speaker Wolfe to convey to the SEN
ate the action OF the House. It is not
likely that the Senate will defeat the
Dill since 1t had good majority in
tie regular session, and the opinions
of the members have seemingly not
changed. judging from the initial
skirmishes.
Opponents of the police bill stated
in no uncertain terms what they con-
sidered the objects sought by the
measure. They declared that it was
being put through by the coal opera
tors for the purpose OF defeating or
ganizations Of labor in an expected
controversy.
Advocates OF the bill took the point
OF view that 1t was simply a question
of bein;; OH the side of law and or
der Or with those forces who align
themselves with the enemies of So
;ety.

been active in the work OF support
ing the measure have been Delegates

EMPLOYMENT FOR THOUSANDS,

approximately $4,000 men will be
employed during the present year on
road building in Pennsylvania. Ac-
cordlng to plans of the State High
way Department, 900 miles of road
VIII be built. 1t is estimated that
within the next two months contrac-
tors will have to go into the labor
market and employ at least 10000
men In addition to their regular fore
es. The State Employment Service
will be relied upon III obtaining the
men,
Approximately $4,000 900 will
be spent in road building in the next
four years. A bill authorizing the
State to issue bonds up to $5O,OOO,-
coo in going through the Legislature.
In addition, the State will receive
Federal aid and the counties are ex-
pected to expend many Millions of
dollars for roads,
The country seems at last to have
reached lthe conclusion that the way
to get good roads Is to put up the
money and build them.

BRINGS IN BILLIONS,

With the announcement that COL
lections from the first 25 per cent,
instailment payment Of income and
profits taxes last Saturday amounted
to $1,001 100000 and might go high
or with later reports. the last finan-
cial milestone preceding the Victory
Liberty loan had been passed. and it
seems probable that the loan will be
for approximately $6,0O0,000,OOO.
Governors of Federal reserve
banks attending a conference closing
the other night were told that al
though official statements of the
amount Of the loan heretofore have
referred to 1--WE or six billions" the
higher figure was nearer correct.
Treasury officials emphasized, how
ever, that the amount Of the loan had
not actually been determined.
Tax collections of little more
than $1,00O,000,000 indicated that
the total tax yield this year from
income and profit levies would be
moro than s4,0OO,O00,000 and
might reach the s4,70O, 900. 900 esti-

FoOD FATAL TO BoLsHEyIsM.

That food 1t fatal to Bolshevism is
the claim made by Count Ilya Toll
stoy, son Of the famous Russian phil
osopher and scholar, in an address
before the Geographical Society at
Philadelphia. He maintained that it
Is only because Russia is starving that
1t possesses radical ambitions.
Feed Russia said Count Toll
stoy, land Bolshevism will die. It
reigns only because Russia is stary-
ed. The Bolshevists are people who
have nothing to lose and who are
looking only on the property of 9TH
ers. They are practically nothing
but robbers. The peasants are the
persons now in Russia who work.
"The Russian peasant is now be-
Ing robbed of his crops, and even
II he Ia not being robbed, II he sells
his crop. he gets money with which
ne cannot buy anything. The money
has lost It's purchasing power. Be-
tore the war there were, maybe, sew
eral thousands who lived idle on the
labor Of the peasants. Now there are
millions"

REDUCTION IN PosTAGE RATES,

On and after July 1st the nation
returns to 2-cent postage on letters.
Official notice Of the repeal Of the
law which increased letter postage
to 3 cents has been sent to postmast-
ers throughout the country, the re-
pealing act having ben approved
February Gath. 1919. The same act
repeals the law which increasd the
price Of postal cards to 2 cents, and
beginning July 1st these cards may
again be purchased for cent each.
The decrease, however, only ap-
plies to letters and postcards. Parcel
post rates, which were increased at
the same time as first-class mail
matter, will continue the same as at
present. and so will other classes OF
mail matter.
