This years great race, like the ma Jority of those in the past, will be strictly a battle between Europe's most daring and skillful pilots and the great est developed in America. In some camps the English is not spoken, drivers. me chanics and other followers having come .E rom abroad for the event. For weeks they have been here training, experi- IN kEnting and otherwise making ready for | ASnday's hard test
 vars have been given hundreds of miles fast running and every possible resort As been followed to guarantee more speed and more consistent performance. As result of all this hard work, thirty cars will be piloted around the two and one-half mile brick oval by Barney Old field when the signal is given to start the memorable event.
 France has three sets of teams in this race aggregating nine cars. Four former winners are in the roster of driv- CTS for France. The other drivers repre- sent the United States. They have cars which have been built especially for this race. In several instances these cars have had two or more years racing over the Indianapolis track. The most skill ful engineers of America have pitted their resources against the great foreign racing producers. This is not battle just for the purse, but race for honors which are recognized over the entire world, and the great crowd which will see it's running have individuals in it from all parts of the globe.
 AMERICA HAS GOOD CHANGE
 America has had an unusual chance to prepare for this race. In the past the Americans g have Jagged behind in the matter of preparation. They usually waited until the last minute to finish their cars and get ready for the con- test. This year, however, the great ma- jority of entrants have had their cars in hand for from several months to sev- eral weeks. As a result, they have had ,s 1ough experiments to get out all the
 ss which may have been hidden in the
 duct. The designers and engineers
 NJ been on the ground with the driv-
 And have solved every problem which
 sented itself. Consequently there can
 no excuse for America if she fails to win.
 In the past America has won twice Ray Harroun back in 1911, and Joe Daw- son in 1912. It happens that l was man. ager of the crew which was lead by Harroun in 1911, and was also closely connected with the crew from which Dawson emerged winner the next year. In each instance the cars which came home first were ready six to ten weeks before the. race and were 4given every possible test previous to the start.
 Ingenious methods have followed to adjust weights and to provide marvellous balance. Harroun even used lead to so balance his wheels on the turns that the least possible strain would be evident As a result of this thorough and posi- tive preparation. Harroun was the easiest winner in the history of the 500 mile classic. While Dawson was always con- sidered 8 lucky winner because of De- Palma's accident near the end of the race. 1t was his unusual preparation which placed him in the position to take advantage of the DePalma mishap.

Questioned about delays in the

LITTLE GOES ABROAD

Present high prices Of soft coal
were characterized as "inexcusable'
in a statement issued yesterday by
Herbert N. Shenton. secretary OF
the United States Bituminous Coal
Commission, which adjusted the dis
putc between the soft coal opera
tors and the miners. He declared
- there was no economic reason for
the "skyrocketing Of prices"
Although there is a great de-
mand for coal in Europe this year"
SEcnton said. there are very real
limitations to our ability to make
foreign shipments. and the present
large foreign demand Is not likely
TO be continuous enough to warrant
The permanent enlargement OF dock
facilities and the diverting into the

merchant feet"
Shenton said there were various
causes of the present-~prohably

pointed out. happened to include the
. low production period always asso-
ciated with Easter. High cost pro-
duction mines which have for past
years been able to operate only be-
cause of the fixed price conditions,
he said, are making a last effort to
obtain what they can.
There is no ground. he said, for
the fear of immediate suffering from
car shortage. The distribution prob
