IRISH KISS WINS.
Johnny Pierce, IT Year Old Jockey
 Pilots Victor in SkiIfu! Style.

Havre De Grace, Oct. 1.-This was an off day at the race track here. There was no stake and in each event only the cheapest kind of platers competed. The feature was the fine norsemanship displayed by little Johnny Pierce. the. seventeen year old lad employed by George W. Loft. This apprentice lad weighs less than hundred pounds, but in two events yesterday he rode like a heavyweight veteran. His skill in the saddle en- abled Irish Kiss to win the fifth race and Sophia Gatewood to take the sixth.
 Johnny rode several real good races in New York, but he received few mounts because a majority of train ,Crs believed he was too small to do a heavy headed aforementioned jlistice Snce he arrived here he is receiving plenty of mounts and is making good.
 Hamilton also rode two winners, as did Cotiletti. Hamilton guided Foun- tain Fay home the victor of the third race and landed Puts and Calls the winner of the seventh. COltiletti rode The Wit, which won the first, and Fort Bliss, which scored in the fourth.

RACINE INJURIES ARM.
Trinity Man May Be Unable to Play
 Against Princeton.

Hartford, Oct. The Trinity squad had stiff workout yesterday after noon. Racine, who played with a Brown S. A. T. c. team last fall, was at halfback for the first team and was showing some real stuff when he threw his arm out of joint in a scrim- mage. He may not be able to get back in time for the Princeton game Saturday.
 Johnson, a new man on the squad, got a tryout at end, displacing Tan sill, and played a good game against the second string men. Capt.

SCALPERS CLEAN UP
Heavy Demand for Tickets to Big Series Will Net Gross Profit of 600 Per Cent. to SpcrulatOrS.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The demand for tickets to the Chicago games of tho worlds series so greatly exceeds the supply that the scalpers are making gross profit of more than 600 per cent. on what few pastebOards they have obtained. For set of box tickets for the three games here on Triday, Saturday and Sunday the ticket vendors demand $10O, the face value of the tickets being S16.o0. Grandstand seats, sthe normal value of which is $9.90 for the three games, bring $60, with only a few on sale. The net profit is cut down, however, by the 50 per cent tax which must be paid on the advance in price. Federal agents are watching the Scalpers closely.

ROOSEVELT'S ESTATE
Valued at Half Million and Left to
His Widow

New York, Jan. 10-Although his
sphere of influence probably surpass-
ed that of any Croesus the world
ever has known, Theodore Roosevelt
left an estate estimated by close
friends of the family to be only
about $50O,000, a considerable por-
ton of which was inherited.
The bulk of the estate is left to
his widow, in trust, to be disposed OF
in her will as she fit. In event that
Mrs. Roosevelt does not make a will
it is to be divided equally among
their children who are alive at the
time. The executors and trustees
named in the will are Mrs. Roose-
welt, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and
George Emlin Roosevelt, son of w
Emlin Roosevelt, a cousin.
A trust fund that was bequeathed
to Colonel Roosevelt by his father he
directs shall be divided equally among
his children. To them also he be
queaths all the silver and plate ir
use at the family homestead on Sag
amore Hill, Oyster Bay, L. I. The
varied trophies and souvenirs which
adorn the mansion remain as part o.
the residuary estate, which goes tt

Allies Must Act Quickly In Europe;
BoIshevisrn Is the End of Civilization

On his way back to Holland from Russia Dr.
Oudendijk, the Dutch Minister in Petrograd, was
interviewed by the London Times and made an i'm
passioned plea for Allied intervention as duty to
civilization.
Il wish to give solemn warning to the working
classes of all nations Bolshevism say without ex-
aggeraton, is the end of civilization. | have known
Russia intimately for 20 years and never have the
working classes of Russia suffered as they have at
the present moment have never seen or dreamed
of the possibility of such corruption tyranny and
the absence of all semblance Of freedom as there
in Russia at the present moment.
TRANSLATED into practise, the five points of
Bolshevism really comes to this: G) High wages;
(2) don't work; 60 take other peoples property; (4
no punishment; (5) taxation; and suppose there
will always be certain number Of people who will
adopt program which in practice amounts to this.
That is why having myself the disastrous effects
of this policy on all classes of societysI take the first
opportunity my arrival in England to warn the
public. The bulk of the Worknen in Russia are to-
day far and away worse off than they have been
and the state of unemployment is simply terrible.
When left Petrograd the situation Of utter
starvation, and most people hardly knew how they
would exist through the following day. The future
to seems hopeless One thing is certain, that, left
as she now is Russia will be in state of utter and
complete ruin. Wherever Boshevism rules the
ton has been beaten to pulp is utterly helpless"

WAR WORKERS
DEMOBILIZED
About 100000 Women in Great
Britain Will Leave Government
Jobs

London, Dec. 5-(Corfespondence
of the Associated .Press) To "demo-
bolize" about 100000 women war
workers is the colossal task assign
ed to a special department of the
Ministry of Labor. Women predom-
mate in this new organization.
One of the most difficult of their
problems will be how to satisfy a
munitions worker who has been earn
ing from s18 to $50 week now that
she is called upon to return to her
former task as a family servant at
from So to 1925 a week. Govern
ment officials realize that this is one
of the hard problems connected with
the reconstruction period especially
as these girls and women must sacri-
flee some of the freedom they have
enjoyed as munitions workers and
now submit to more exacting hours
of work. They are appealing to the
workers to adjust themselves to the
new order of things as best they can,
and to be willing to make Sacrifices
during the reconstruction as they did
during the war.

WORK OF THE
GERMAN SPIES
REVEALED
Early in the War They Were
Operating on English
Coast
FLASHED UNSEEN
! SHORE SIGNALS
Diplomat Made Sick by Fake
Poisoned Food

London, Dec. 24-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press Secrets OF
the war work of the British Secret
Service cow revealed show that Ger
man spies OF agents of the German
government were making active pre-
|parations, even before the beginning
of hostilities, to use the Isle of Wight
as landing place for German forces
and for the bombardment Of Ports
mouth. One of the first precautions
taken in August, 1914, was to place
close restrictions on persons trying to
land upon or leave the island. From
Harwich to Hampshire, along the
south and southeast coasts of Eng
land, nests of German spies and
agents were engaged in desperate
missions, in the early days of the
war. One of the urgent tasks of the
British Secret Service was to stamp
out the operations of these men.
For a long time the authorities
were unable to discover the origin of
Morse sigI ais that were being fash
ed out to German submarines from
the seafroft at Pevensey. Special
watch was kept on a certain cottage
and, although no lights were shown
the patient observers finally solved
the mystery. They learned that after
dusk several persons near an upper
window m; Eipulated what appeared
to be the dial of an ordinary clock.
A raid On the cottage disclosed that
the clock dial was fitted with dark
prism. BY focusing the prism on the
strong headlight of a fishing smack
anchored off shore it was possible to
tsend forth signal flashes. These fash
es were not visible to a person stand
| ing on the beach, but out in the
channel they could be ready easily.
About Christmas, 1914, a foreign
diplomat in London received an an
onymous gift of pate de foie gras.
Suspicion was aroused and analysis
| showed the presence of a deadly poi
son. Secret Service agents were cali
ed in and they proceeded to work on
! the theory that the pate de foie gras
had come from one of three aliens
then under surveillance. According
ly, to each of them was sent anony-
'mousiy can exactly similar
, in appearance to the can con-
tanning the poisoned stuff.
The lanGlady of one of the trio
opened and served it for his supper,
and it was not until late in the even
ing that she told him that the can had
been addressed to him. Thinking that
he had eaten his own poison, the
man actually became i'll. He was
promptly arrested.

TRADE JEALOUSY
HINDERS PEACE
Co-Belligerants Said to Be Watching
Each Other With Hawks
Eyes In Paris

Paris, Jan. 9--Politics in the Peace
Conference is only that part of the
great world drama which is enacted
upon the stage at Versailles with the
nations as its spectators.
What-is going on behind the scenes
is a great world struggle for CONNER
cial dominion, q struggle which broke
out the instant the armistice was
signed and which is not wholly con-
sistent with the professions of those
who seek to lessen international COM
petition for the sake Of future peace.
Commercial jealousies will prove the
biggest obstacle to quick agreement
in the Peace Conference. CONNER
cially, late allies and co-beligerents
are watching each other with hawks
eyes vigilance.
The economic situation is consider
ed of equal Importance to the political
situation, indeed it controls the poll
teal situation for, if mishandled, a
panic may result and from it may
come Bolshevism.
While the peace envoys plan inter
national political cooperation, the
international economic cooperation
strong during the war has been dis
integrating.
Nations suspect each other of seek
ing to take an unfair trade advantage
while at the same time, their own
commercial interests are busy trying
to seize every opportunity for busi-
ness expansion, created by the armis-
tice. While the nations continue in
this frame of mind they are certain
|ly not in the humor to agree on
peace conditions. The situation is
described by Americans who are fam
iliar with the international economic
status as ga period of insanity"

than in any previous twelve months.
Undivided profits are also added to

The efforts of the bank for nearly
two years now have have been very
generously given to lend every assis-
tance to the Government and the
banks customers in furtherance OF
the common cause.
The new steel-lined vault and 9TH
er improvements in the banking
rooms, completed a year ago, have
proved of great value and convenience
in rendering these services. Few
banks in Vermont have handled as
many Liberty Bond subscriptions or
put out as many of the War Savings
