The Keynote of Zev's preparation
for the race is scheduled to take
place tomorrow at Belmont Park
when the brown colt will be asked
to go the full distance of a mile and
a half. Observers expect this trial
to give A, conclusive line on the con-
dition of the American horse. which
has been subject of considerable
debate since it lost part of a frog in
winning the Lawrence Realization
several week ago.
The good workouts of the English
horse. on the other hand. have
tended to shorten the odds which at
first were heavily in favor of the
American representative. Wagers
which have been made on a 3 to- 1
basis for several days dropped todAy

AUTOCRACY WAVE
Continued from Page One)

not bring it's forces into action in the
way perhaps arAaupcracy does; but
in a struggle it IS the heart that tells,
and democracy sustains the heart,
and what happens is that democratic
institutions alone can produce and
train men that are able to appeal 10
nations to rise to those heights of
sacrifice which are the last citadels
of freedom in all lands.
"Now, when democracy is in dan
ger, when | can see the throne of
democracy tumbling in one land aft
er another, here you have land OF
democracy. Britain is the land OF
democracy, and France, believe
will stand by democracy, and what
ever happens these three great lands
together will stand against the wave
of autocracy which seems to be
sweeping over the world"
The arrival of the distinguished
visitor was marked by great DEM
onstration. Confetti and strcamers
filled the air, while there was con-
tinuous roar of welcome as the auto
mobile bearing the former premier
with barred head passed through the
street.

spearhead of the German attack.

said, that Germany might have
peace that day, that hour, if she &C

the president of the United States OF

than to make war.
"Germany'S disaster was not due
to the lack of Ealor or skill In her

men, as ever went into action
But the failure was in the lack OF
vision, courage. leadership of the
