Phoenix, Sept. 30.-An inno- vation in automobile racing at the state fair is announced by the fair commission in the mak- ing public of plans limiting all events to Arizona cars and drivers. This is in line with the
 policy fsthe commission to con-
 duct an Arizona fair by and for Arizona people.
 Though the sanction of the Three A is yet to be obtained, the commission today gave out a tentative outline of the speed program. Six thousand dollars will be put up in purses for the winners of a road race from the Arizoua state line east of Douglas over the Bankhead highway to the Arizona State fair. Another S60O0 will be distributed among the winners of the track events which will be held on two days of the fair.
 All cars which meet the requir- ments of the A. A. A. will be admitted to competition in both the road and tracK events upon payment of the entry fee. For those entering either the road or track program, the fee will be $50. For those entering cars in both programs. the fee will be $6O.
 George Purdy Bullard, prom inent attorney and sportsman. has been named superintendent of those big events. Mir. Bullard is out of the city at present, but upon his return these tentative plans will be submitted for his approval, and the matter of ob- taining the sanction from the na- tional office of the Three A will be taken up.
 In the meantime the fair com mission assures the public that it is going to see some of the most spirited and exciting speed con- tests ever staged in Arizona. It is one thing to bring here lot of highpriced speed demons who stage a show and split the purse. It is quite another thing to bring about a real contest between drivers and cars well known to their respective communities. The spirit of rivalry is enhanced three-foId, and for this reason the auto races this year are des- tined to clam premier interest.

How Better Than Pills

The question has been asked.
 In what way are Chamberlaln's Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic and liver pills? Our answer is, they are easier and more pleasant to take and their effect is so gentle that one hardly realizes that it is produced by a medicine. Then, they not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen the di- gestion. Adv.

Withdrawing Russian Relief

Thanks to the good harvest pros
poets In Russia, the American Relief
Administration expects to discon-
tinue feeding adults after Septem-
her i. The relief of children will
continue while conditions remain
unsatisfactory.
That this decision will bring forth
criticism is to be expected. There
are already signs Of systematic
campaign to minimize the work of
the American Relief Administration
and to depict conditions in Russia
as being worse than they are in
order to bring pressure to bear upon
the Al. r. A. to continue it's assist
ance indefinitely. Obviously it is to
the interest of the Bolshevists to
have a large portion of their people
fed by the Americans, and there is
little doubt that they are fully aware
of this fact.
The work of the Relief Admins
tration has been magnificent. It
has saved millions of lives and les
sened the suffering of many more.
Aithough most of the work has been
confined to caring for the children,
in some Of the districts worst hit
by the famine grown-ups have come
in for their daily ration as well as
the children. For this relief there
can be nothing but the most gener-
Gus praise. So long as hundreds of
thousands of children are threatened
with starvation none will oppose it's
continuation.
But the relief Of actual starva-
ton is a different thing from the
indefinite continuation of feeding
great portions of the population of
Russia. 1t is one thing for the
Americans to save lives for humani-
tartan reasons. 1t is another for
them to help the Bolshevists by feed
ing Russians after the famine is
broken. This, Of course, is what the
Russians want, and this is the real
reason for depicting conditions in
Russia as growing constantly worse.
Fortunately the course for the
American Relief Administration to
follow is plain. 1t has in Russia
staff of trained observers, compe-
tent to estimate the true famine con-
ditions throughout the land. When
they report that the help of the
a. r. A. is no longer necessary it
will be time for the relief work to
be withdrawn from Russia. The A.
R. A. is interested in saving human
lives. In this work it will not be
influenced by campaigns with ulte-
rior motives.

A Devoted American

Whether in khaki or in scits',
Leonard Wood willingly and ably has
served his fellow countrymen, and
always at far lower salary than he
could have commanded in pri-
vate life.
Theodore Roosevelt discovered
Wood in secluded corner of the
United States army and brought him
into prominence as the first colonel
of the Rough Riders. Wood dis
tinguished himself in Cuba as a SOL
dier. and later, during the period
when this country exercised pro-
tectorate over the island, as an ad-
ministrator.
Afterward as chief of staff he did
effective work in reorganizing the
army. Not the least embittared by
the refusal of the Wilson Admin
istration to assign him to important
work in France during the war, he
continued quietly to attend to such
duties as were committed to his care,
and with his pen and voice inspired
Americans to their best efforts in
the struggle.
He was the one man best fitted for
the Philippine job when he was ap-
pointed to it. His work there is COM
pleted now, and he comes back to
America, not to take money making
position but to become provost of
the University of Pennsylvania,
where the salary will be wholly in
adequate to the service he will be
able to perform.
Few men in public life have been
so devoted and unselfish as General
Wood. His great talents as an adj
nainistrator, developed by an un-
usually wide experience, he has given
to his fellow citizens in exchange for
little more than livelihood.
1t is unfortunate that such man
should leave the country's service,
even if in so doing he still has an op-
portunity for wide usefulness as a
moulder of citizens.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-20
Germany's National Anthem

Inere is, potentially, curious
significance in the choice of a ma
tional anthem by the German Reich.
Hitherto the empire has had three.
The oldest was "Heil dir i'm Sieger-
kranz" with words written by a
Danish pastor for the English air
"God Save the Kingv' and adopted
as the national anthem of Prus-
sia about 1890. The second was
Deutschland ueber Alles," written
by Fallersleben after the 1S48 revo-
luton, and the third, Carl Wilhelm's
"Wacht am Rhein," written in 1854,
but little known until the war of
1870, when it was adopted as the
national war song.
Now, the second of these has been
designated by the Berlin government
as the one official national anthem.
The first had to be abandoned be-
cause there was no longer king to
whom to cry "Heil! Koenig, dirt"
Besides, after going wild over their
Hymn Of Hate" for England, Ger
mans could not endure to sing an
English air. The third was also OBJ
viously out of date, since the Rhine
was no longer purely German-for
all that, though, it never was! But
the undoing Of the land grab of
1870-'71 caused the rallying song Of
that grab to be thrown into the dis
card.
There remained, then, "Deutsch-
land ueber Alles," which was ac-
cordingly adopted. This choice, we
are told, has caused to the Junkers
and Hohenzollern restorationists pro-
found disgust, because it not only
fails to glorify king or emperor, but
also quite neglects to speak of arms
or military deeds. It is purely
pacifst from start to finish. In fact,
it's author is said to have fallen into
official disfavor and to have lost
place and pension for neglecting in
it to beat the big drum of imperial
ism and militarism.
The real significance of it will ap-
pear when the true Interpretation of
the first line of it is determined.
The Junkers, to save what they can,
are insisting that Germany over
all' means that Germany is to be po-
itically and Enthusiastically exalted
over all the world and is to rule all
other nations the Hohenzollern
idea. The Social Democrats on the
contrary, maintain that it means
merely that Germans are to cherish
their own Fatherland above all other
iands--an entirely praiseworthy SEN
stinent.

Americas Cable Policy

The recent agitation about Ca
bles has brought up the policy of
the United States government to-
ward cable communications. Mr..
Newcomb Carleton, of the Western
Union, has temporarily renewed his
attacks upon the State Depart
ment which were begun in 1920
when the department prevented the
opening of the Miami Barbados
cable laid by the Western Union.
Mr.. Walter Rogers, formerly with
the department and specialist on
cable communications, while taking
exception to some of Mr.. Carleton's S
charges, has expressed the belief
that the department could do much
more than heretofore to encourage
the expansion of American cables.
One of Mr.. Carleton's principal
objections was that the department
moved slowly and was too much in
terested in exercising 'the tortu-
GUS methods characteristic Of diplo-
matte training" He cited the
delay in obtaining permits for
landing cables and urged that the
cable companies have freer
hand. But what Mr.. Carleton
failed to stress (and this point has
since been brought out by Mr..
Rogers and by unofficial spokesmell
for the Department Of State) is the
fact that cable communications
have long been the subject Of inter-
national agreements and form an
important element in a nations
foreign policy. In the case of the
delay in granting landing permits
to which Mr.. Carleton referred the
State Department was withholding
the permits until negotiations were
completed to break the British mo-
nopoly in Brazil. While this worked
a temporary hardship on one
American company, it was done in
the interest of American cable ex-
pansion as a whole.
The policy of the government, as
a matter of fact, has always been
to further the development OF
American cable interests. II has
opposed foreign rsronopolies and
fought for American rights abroad.
As early as in the Administration
of Grant the Department Of State
refused landing permit to a
French company which had monopo-
listic privileges, and in later years
landing permits were refused 20
American companies which served
as links in foreign aonopolistic
system.
Mr.. Hughes has continued this
policy, and since he has been in of
flee has carried on the war against
British monopoly. To charge him
with failure to further American

world war. This is the party that has
the secret good wishes of all Germans,
by whatever name they may call them
selves in politics, many of whom are
waiting only for an encouraging sig
nal to break out in a passion of white
heat, rage, rancor, vindictiveness and
frightfulness to establish Pan-Teuton-
ism over the few Allies who may then
hold together. The leaders are cool
and calculating, but for hot-heads the
dopes they are instilling intothe youth
of Germany may prove too potent for
self-restraint.
Ready to
Fight Again
The German National and Monar-
chical party is rapidly acquiring COM
plete control of all the country's re-
sources. and arranging all its forces
not only for the restoration OF the
monarchy and the violent suppression
Ut the republic, if its heads prove OBJ
structive, but for new war of revenge
based on the reputation of the Treaty
of Versailles. 1t is curious to find
that with regard to the issue of such
struggle the only view held and ex-
pressed Is that of absolute confidence.
That view was based mainly, long be-
fore the date Of the treaty with the
Soviet, on the assumption that Russia
is destined to be Germany's cooper
ator, and in the second place on the
conviction that the suspicious Of
England can be lulled until the moment
for the German plotters to strike has
arrived and that for Britain's useful
Intervention has passed.
In confirmation Of these statements
it may be affirmed that all the Allied
governments possess proofs beyond
dispute that all lists, not only of the
German army that was in the field in
the autumn of 1918, but of the annual
contingents liable since the peace for
service under the old system, nominally
abrogated by its terms, have been care
fully preserved and kept up to date,
and thus the machinery is ever ready
to convert these millions Of citizens
without delay or friction into regi-
ments, divisions and army corps. AS
for arms and armament, it is known
that, despite the destruction accom-
plished by the commissions of inspec-
tion, the stocks and supplies are simply
incalculable, while the means for turn
ing out poison gas were never so
abundant as they are at the present
time. It is to illicit auxiliaries Of toxic
description that the military author.
tiles of Germany are looking above
everything else at the present time to
turn the scale Of victory in their favor.
Whatever may happen in consequence
of precipitation on the part Of the
doped section of the nation, or Of the
aroused apprehensions of the intend
ed victims, the leaders of this organ
lied national movement are in favor
Of patience. They rely most Of all on
the ultimate consequences Of the pres
ent up-bringing and inspiration of the
youth Of Germany in an atmosphere OF
recalcitrance and undying hatred to
the Allies, and beyond thsm to every
thing that is not German.
In the Schools
In all the schools. at the colleges
and universities, the order Of the day
| is to keep alive and stimulate the old
imperial tradition and the military
spirit; in other words, the hateful
Prussian system equally dear To
