Less Than 15 to Start.

| look on.
Less Than Is to Start.
AS for the race itself, 1t is the most
open of many years. "Favorites"
have been set up from time to time,
only to be knocked down. There will
be less than Is starters, which ought
to mean a truly run race, and there
are at least half dozen horses almost
equally fancied to win.
The experts say there Is not the
usual amount of class in the field this
year, yet a good Derby has a way of
making class. Horses as well as jock
eys seem to feel the spirit and urge of
the race, and it is Just that indefin-
able something which makes it stand
out over all the other turf classics in
this country.
Kentuckians are fearful the prize is
going out of the State this y-r. To
make the blow harder than ever for
the Southern lovers of "hoss" flesh
to bear, there is a very likely chance
that a colt named Bostonian will gall
lop away with the winners share.
The fact that Bostonian never has
seen New England will only slightly
lessen the blow if he repeats in the
Derby his winning ways in the Freak
ness at Baltimore last Monday. How.
ever, all of that is in the lap of the
gods.

 Wang Ching-Wei. chairman Of the kuomintang, or political o.Gani- zation of the Cantonese, left secret ly Wednesday for Hankow. He has made strenuous efforts to repair the breach between the moderate branch fthe Cantonese. headed by Chiang kai-Shek, and the leftist branch. The future actions of Wang are expected to have an important bearing on the course Of the dis pute. Some observers here believe pressure may be eXcrted at HankoW 10 cause him to dcnounce Chiang, creating possibly q definite split in the kuomintang.

Washington Silent

Washington. April S.-lPl-- Statements by the French foreign office that the United states, Italy. Great Britain, France and Japan were preparing to present 8 joint note of protest to the Picking gov ernment over miStreatment Of the various foreign nationals in China the state department.
 Secretary Kellogg and other off, cials of the department declined to comment on the Paris dispatches for publication. II was evident. how ever. that they were not expecting any protest to the Picking authori- ties over the treatment of foreign CTS at Ranking. American demands for reparation, it has been con- sistently indicated, would be made by Minister MacMurray at Picking to the nationalist regime at Han- kow. Whether they will be present. cd also the nationalist military commander at Shanghai, Chang kai-Shek, is not so certain in view of the reports that he is at odds with the political wing of the Can- tonese government.
 The Paris dispatch served 10 bring out an intmation that the Washington authorities are still un- advised as to what the general policy Of the Paris government Is to hp rI n to foreign nationals in China.
 All of the powers maintain diplo- matic relations of a formal charac- ter at Picking but their course i'll that regard has been based to q large extent upon the fact that Pe- king is historically the capital of China and the seat of the central government. Since the present na- tlonalist movement got under way, however, Picking merely has been the capital Of the northern faction and at no time has there been any strong central government with which diplomatic negotiations in- volving conditions In any part of China could be conducted.
 In common with other govern ments, the United States has dealt or attempted to deal with the na- tionalist authoritories in all those regions where they were actually in power. The basis of these exchanges, however. has been purely that Of interceding with the local de facto authorities where American nation- als became involved. It has been as- sumed that the Ranking incide ent would be similarly dealt with since it is recognized that the central government at Picking has no power within territory controlled by the nationalists, who themselves claim to be the central authority for all China
