TODAY'S AUTO RACES
EXPECTED TO MAKE
MANY FAST RECORDS

Ray L. Beede, racing promoter, re
ports that all work on the race track
has now been completed and every
thing is in readiness for races which
will be held this afternoon and tomor-
row.
All of the racing drivers who were
here two weeks ago for the races will
be entered both days.
Several of the drivers have made
improvements on their cars and pro
nounce them faster than before. Leo
Rice has rebuilt the Dodge, shorten
ing the wheel base IS inches. and tax
ing about 400 pounds of weight away
from it. Those who have seen this
car perform since being rebuilt say
that it is much faster than before and
will pull down some of the big money
in the coming races.
Glenn Breed has his Hudson super
six in first class shape and seems con
fident that he will have no trouble in
winning first place. Johnny Mais has
his Texan in fine running order and
this car, owing to the Improvement on
track, is expected to make much better
time than was possible in the last races.

The Coal Situation

But should not the coal situation be
viewed from a different and wider
standpoint. 1t cannot be forgotten
that amoong the most wanton acts
penetrated by the German armies dur
ing the war. was the almost complete
destruction by her of the coal supplies
of northern France. An entire indus
try was obliterated with a calculation
and savagery which it will take many
years to repair. The result has been
u grave and prolonged shortage of coal
in western Europe. There can be no
reason in equity why the effect of this
shortage should be borne exclusively
by the allied nations who We're its vic
TINS, or why Germany, who deliberately
made herself responsible for the def
cheney, should not. to full limit of her
capacity, make it good.
STRESS is also laid on the hardshipS
alleged to be inflicted on Germany by
necessity of importing iron ores and
zinc. 1t is not understood why Ger
many should be supposed to suffer
from conditions to which other coun-
p.ics cont.Isedly submit. 1t would
the political control of a country is
essential in order to procure a reason
able share of its products. Such a pro.
posal finds no foundation in economic
law or in history.
THE allied and associated powers
cannot accept the speculative estimate
presented to them in the German note
on the future condition Of German in
dustry as whole. This estimate appears
to them to be characterized and viii
ated by palpable exaggerations. No
notice is taken of the fact that the
economic disaster produced by the war
is widespread. and, indeed, universal.
Every country is called upon to suf-
fer. There is no reason why Germany,
which was responsible for the war,
should not suffer also"
