Crisis Relieved by Suspen-
sion of Priority Favor
ing England.
(By Universal Service.)

With the temporary suspension by
the Interstate Commerce COmmis-
sion of the New England priority
order which called for shipments OF
25O.OOO tons Of soft coal a month
to tidewater for transhipment to
New England ports, the entire soft
coal situation is appreciably i'm
proved. 1t is now possible for
substantial quantity Of coal to be
diverted to other points in the East
and in the Middle West.
Although the suspension order Is
only temporary. every evidence in
dicates that the New England. de-
mands for the remainder Of the
year will be met without further
preferential shipments. The esti-
mated requirements Of that section
for 1920 are 22.OOOOOO tons of soft
coal. From January l up to Sep
tember l, 15.4SO,O0O tons had been
shipped. 1t is expected that the re-
naming 6.52O0O0 will be shipped in
to New England befor" the middle
Of December The railroads have
signified their abaility to handle

U.S.AIR RACERS
NOT PICKED YET.
One Plane Of Each of Three
Bennett Entrants Is
Probable.
Washington HeraId-Pubiic Ledger
Service Special Cable Dispntch.)

Paris, Sept. 22.-Although yester-
days conference at headquarters
here of the Aero Club of America
did not decide the burning question
of which three American aviators
are to fly in the Bennett race, it
left this responsibility to a COM
mittee of four who are to make the
final irrevocable choice" before
Friday night.
The committee is to examine all
four American entries, watch them
in their trial flights and pick the
three most likely to win the cup
for America. In making its deci-
sion, however, it is to consider the
matches from the technical side,
with a view to entering the planes
other things being equal-which
are most likely to aid in the future
development of aviation.
An elimination race is unlikely,
and it is probable that, barring ac-
ci6ents, the final three American en-
tries in the Bennett race will be
the army Verivllle racer, the Day
Wright and the Cox Texas
Wildcat" piloted by Rohlfs.

BY offering me constructive criti-

There were once two rival the

The league not only would ir-

affect us in our domestic relations"

Prices were the main topic at to-

But Fred Voiland, a director of

The old clothes clubs" he said,
have struck the right note. That
was the American public's way of
registering a protest against an in
tolerable situation.
Men who could afford to buy
clothes at the high prices refused
to do so with the result that the

In regard to the league of ma
tions the Republican policy, as inter-
preted by Senator Harding is non
committal. He does not repudiate
the idea of an association with
other great nations in the cause OF
civilization, but he is evidently
more alive to objections than to pos
sibilities of formal union, until the
way is more clearly shown. 1t is
purely an affair for Americans to
decide whether they shall come IN
or stay out.
Think Him Robust American
Evidently Senator Harding is a
robust American who in some re-

as a downright opponent of British
interests, but Britain can and will
see to the preservation of her own

Rohlfs in a talk with the Public

landing gear of the Curtiss planes
built for this race is so rigid that
landing on the rough ground at
Nillesauvage, where the flight ends.
will be very dangerous to the pilot.
If he thought IL necessary and If
the race authorities permit a para

His plane, the Texas Wildcat"
which was given its first tryOut in
the air Sunday, is estimated to have
made a speed of over 200 miles an
hour and the landing on Moraine
Field was satisfactory.

London, Sept. 22.-Now that EIihu
Root has left Europe and is about
to arrive in the United States, Eu-
ropean statesmen are beginning to
rub their eyes and ask themselves
just what he did to the league of
nations while he was here laying
the foundation for an internationa,
court of justice.
Put in a brief manner the Ques-
tion is this: Did Root construct
within the league an organization
which, in time, may make President
Wilson's league a mere debating
society?
One thing which has cleared the
atmosphere somewhat is the con-
versations which the Washington
correspondent of the Morning Post
had with Senator Harding. Today
that journal, commenting upon Mr..
Harding's views, admits that he
may be an opponent of British in
terests, but will win in the long
run" The Morning Post says:
For America First.
Senator Harding admits without
any disguise that the Republican
policy. if he should have opportu-
nifty of giving effect to it Is Amer
lea first according to the traditions
of the party. That will mean a
protective tariff, the fostering and
development of American commerce
and of the American Merchant Ma
rine and recognition that the first
duty of an American President and
his government is to America
with this policy the British pub
lie can find no possible quarrel
Nothing is gained by CLOSING over
the existence of this competition
of interests and Senator HardinE's
position, that it need involve no ILL
will If fairly and openly pursued. is
undoubtedly the common sense

INTEREST IN FLY CASTING.
Bv PETER P BARNEY

Interest in tournament bait and fly casting is greatly increasing as was evidenced by the large num- bers that attended the eleventh an- nual tournament of the National As sociation of Scientific Angling clubs and the numerous requests that were rectived afterwards by this asocia- ton for literature on the regulations governing such events.
 Recently the Chicago Fly Casting club held it's championship events and q gallery of some 500 souls wit nesed the competitions. Fly casting has been more or les of a mystery to a lot of people, but when the coun- try gets dotted with casting clubs as it is now with rife and gun clubs there will ebe nothing mysterious about the angling game.
 There should be a casting club in every city. There are number of them today, but the clubs are fed compared to the many who fish. At most of the seaside resorts one will find fishing clubs with fine quarters but in the cities fishing clubs are few and far between. The Asbury Park (N. D fishing club is now erecting a club house on Deal Beach at a cost of $40.e00. The quarters will be more like a hotel than fishing club, but there will De everything there that fisherman wants.

Bostou. Jan. ik-fhe Unised States probably will be represented at the Henley rowing regatta in England next summer by a crew from the Union Boat club of this city. but the selec- ton of June 80 to July 5 as dates for the meeting. which was announced to- day, Is expected to restrict American entries
 Vale and Harvard universities, 1t was learned today, have had under consideration a proposal to send their varsity eights across to compete for the grand challenge cup, now held by Harvard a sa result of the victory of a Crimson crew at Henley in 1914. Win the annual Yale Harvard regatta 10 be held at New London on June a5. however, selection Of June 30 as the opening Henley date was said by Harvard rowing authorities to make it soubtful whether either university would be represented. Postponement af the New London regatta is consid- rred irupracticabIe because the date is -ozerned by commencement and 'ar- ranged for the benefit of graduates. The possibility of sending a second or snecial crew will be considered, but decision would not come for some time.
 Tho Union Boat club already has set shai,t preparat ton of a crew to chal- IAnee for the Grand cup and may also sand individuals as competitors in the sianoad souls event.

Yale and Harvard Not to Enter Henley Race

the crew will enter the American Henley events at Philadelphia The unknown quantity represented by the grouping of men several years out of rowing and out of training was the only doubtful feature, he thought.
 Robert F. Herrick, coach of the Harvard crew which won at Henley in 1914, is now in Europe on business. He wrote Wilmington recently that he had purchased several shells there, which would be available for Harvard or Union crews, and said he was can wasting the situation. It is expected that MT. Herrick's ideas will go far to decide Harvards policy in the mat ter of defending the cup in the light of the conflict in dates.
 Fred W. Moore. graduate manager of athletics at Harvard, said he doubt ed very much whether any rear engagement of the New London regat- ta was possible Major Paul Withing- ton, who is now assistant graduate manager of athletics, said it was un- fortunate that there should be so lit tie time between the dates. It was possible, he thought ,that if second crew material were of high grade Harvard might organize a special eight of oarsmen. who, like the crew of 1914, were at their best at the short Henley distance rather than over the four mile New London course, and send them to defend. But opinion al Harvard generally appeared to be that the Crimson would continue tc conserve it's best strength for the meeting with Yale.
 It was suggested that American representation at the Henley might be increased both in strength and num- bers if the dates for the Olympic row ing events and the Henley regatta were arranged within a short time o1 each other. so that the same crews would represent the United States al both.
