Upton and Another Challenge

Somebody asked Sir Thomas Upton
yesterday whether he would challenge
again for the Americas cup if he did
not succeed in "lifting" it this time.
That was rather q tactless query to put
to one whose fourth attempt to redeem
the international yachting trophy has
started with victory. 1t was particu-
larry tactless in view of the circum-
stances in which that victory was won
But Sir Thomas. always a good sport.
took no unbrage at the intimation that
his winning of Thursday was unmer-
tied and unlikely to be followed by
complete success. He replied, "Why
shouldn't / challenge again? l have
always received fair treatment from
the splendid sportsmen here and / see
no reason why / should not attempt to
continue the challenge in case it be
comes necessary This is not the first
occasion on which Sir Thomas Upton
has demonstrated qualities as diplo
mat that would have won him high
honOrs in the field of international ne
gotiation.

The Failure at Chicago.

The men who in 1912 called them
selves progressives were in reality
Rooseveltians. They believed i'm
plicitly in Theodore Roosevelt. They
were willing to follow him in what
ever direction and as far as he was
willing to lead. His name was the
only platform required to inspire then
to action. But, for forms sake, there
was a platform, and it contained
among other things declaration that
the two old parties had outlived theil
character and usefulness and should
he sent to the scrapheap.
Organized on that proposition anC
under that leadership, the so-caliet
progressives made formidable demon
stration that year. But the organiza
tion did not long survive it's defeat

Final Agreement at Spa.

| After several crises, which threat
ened renewal of military action, if not
of actual warfare. the allied German
conference at Spa has adjourned with
a definite agreement effected between
the two sides, Germany accepting. with
some notifications, all the terms laid
down by the powers. There were at
| the outset three principal points of
discussion. that of disarmament and
disbandment, that of coal deliveries
and that of reparations. The first two
of these have been definitely settled.
according to the requirements of the
allies. and the third has been referred
to commission composed of two mem
bers from each of the chief allied
powers and two from Germany. which
will meet at Geneva within two or
three weeks.
Germany's delegates. comprising the
new ministry, used every possible ex
pedient to delay agreement and to Sc
cure concessions. Not until the mill
tary occupation of the Ruhr district
was actually imminent did they ac-
|cept the propositions of the allies as
to coal deliveries. 1t was made per-
feetly plain that the allies were not
blufing and that Marshal Foch would
n,ovo with ron comrnsifa fnr.a Of
allied troops within few hours from
the definite refusal of the German
representatives to sign. A prolonged
speech by one of the German leaders
was interrupted by the French pre-
mier, and the British premier an
nouneed that the signature must be
given before the close of yesterday, as
he was leaving Spa this morning Then
came the surrender
PREPARATION distribution terms have
been actually decided upon, in accord
anee with the schedule that the allied
representatives adopted before the ad-
journment of the conference. The
distribution will be made thus: To
France SO per cent, to Great Britain
% per cent, to Italy 10 per cent, to
Belgium 8 per cent, to Japan and Por-
tugal each three -fourths of / per cent,
and the balance of the fund divided
between Serbia, Rumania and Poland.
The question to be considered at &C.
neva will relate to the manner in which
the German funds will be paid. The
principle of payment is fixed and, as
just stated, the ratio of division is
settled. 1t will now be for Germany
to comply with the requirements and
begin the delivery Of installments,
subject, as in the ease of coal, to the
penalty of territorial occupation in the
event of failure.
The Spa conference has ended for
tunately. Germany has decided wise
ly. The menace of renewed warfare
has passed and Germany now is given
a chance to redeem her debts and to
make restitution.

ket for stolen ears in that state to y
very low degree.
| Any person who buys second-ha
motor car without ascertaining beyond
d AIT that it is honestly owned by the
seller takes a serious risk Of involving
himself in a criminal transaction. He
may lose the machine, upon its identl-
feation as having been stolen, and he
may indeed be accused as implicated in
the theft, as receiver of stolen prop
erty. Dealers in used ears are sim
I iiarly in danger of involvement if they
are not scrupulnus in their acceptance
OF machines for sale.
Motor stealing is comparatively
easy. owing to the fact that many
owners are extremely careless i'll the
care If their machines. Numerous de-
vices have been adopted to check
thievcry. but. rs in the ease of the
burglar and the safe, the race between
mechanical ingenuity and criminal
dexterity is a keen one, and the pro-
feSs:onal motor thieves find ways of
beating the locks. Cars are stolen
from garages, public and private.
They are taken from the streets,
sometimes from under the very noses
of the police. The police cannot be
blamed, for the thieves are shrewd and
work the game with great adroitness.
If the "fenees" can be located and
the managing gang eorralIed this in
dustry will be greatly checked. But.
az already stated, the only sure way
Ito break up this criminal game is to
close the market for stolen ears. and
this can be done. in large measure. by
the adoption of such laws as that just
enacted in Maryland and repeated in
spections to determine whether ears
are being operated by others than
their owners.
