ITALY Mobiles
RESERVE GROUPS
Specialists Of Ten Classes
called-No Public Notice
/ is Given to Move.
3. the Associated Press.

b. the AssociAteA Press,
ROME Sept. 2s.-Italy was said by
usually well-informed sources today to
have started calling to the service
specialists Of 10 classes Of reserves.
A few specialists in the classes, pri-
vats sources said. had received notif,-
cation cards individually. without
public notice.
Italy was calm today, In the middle
Of the week which Premier Mussolini
declared Monday would decide the fate
Of Europe. Italians went about their
routine tasks like people who wanted
to believe no catastrophe was i'm
pending.
Calling Of specialists to the colors
was not confirmed in military circles.
Such action is \ possible preliminary
to general mobilization.
2,oe0,o Men Available.
II eventually modified, the 10 classes
would bring about 2,000, 900 men under
arms. Thus far Italy, with . standing
army Of about 294, 200 has refrained
carefully from any call on reserves,
estimated to number e,75o,00o.
Calling Of specialists, high Fascists
said, was - precautionary measure
prompted by developments in other
countries. It was said that all leaves
for military men had been Cancelled
and no passports were being given to
men who might come within draft
limits.
The quiet method Of calling out
the specialists, it was stated, wa
adopted to preserve public calm.
Italians who heard Prime Minister
Chamberlain's speech last night ex-
pressed amazement at the slender
hope he expressed OF finding some
way Of escaping war.
n Comment II Mild.
First editorial comment on the
address was couched in moderate Ian
guage.
Il Popolo di Roma said that a.
though the peace hopes Of tens OF
millions Of persons were "deluded''
by the British Prime Ministers
speech, 1t certainly was through no
fault Of Chamberlain's."
The paper said the world was "ex-
tremely grateful" to the British Pre-
mier for the efforts he had made and
"for those he still Is forcing himself
to make to preserve peace"
II Messaggero- traced German post
war efforts to settle German problems
peacefully and concluded that all had
failed Of consideration by other pow
ers. 1t blamed President Benes OF
C1echoslovakia for the seriousness Of
the situation.

CHAPTER XIV

A tubby little fellow of middling years came around the corner. Smil- ing Tom Cartwright. A good jockey in your, he was now one of Ameri- cas- shrewd trainers; campaigning e stabe for Q millionaire who in- sisted on having stake winners in his barn. He had won two Derbies foh his owner: now he was plan ming, half year ahead, to win a third.
 "Evening, folks" he said, stopping at the tack room door. This the young ownerp" He touched broad- brimmed hat, Glad to know you Miss. I've got news, Talkin' cash tonight"
 "Whats thisp" Linda looked from Smiling Tom to Uncle Sandy.
 From, here, is tryin' to take a option on Golden Toy," Sandy Gordon explained. "He knows colt that wins the Jockey Club Stakes in the fall is Q sure Derby winner next spring"
 Not always, Sandy" Cartwright shook his smiling face.
 Huh There was Reign Count, Clyde Van Dusen, Twenty Grand "a passel of 'em, If the Toy wins, Tom wants to buy him for meas Icy fifteen thousand"
 "Twelve, I said, Sandy, If he wins. Here's two hundred, option money" He held up the bills,
 MT. Cartwright, you take an option on every good colt In the Stakes, don't youq' Linda asked "Get Q jump on other wealthy buyers, who haven't developed Q good 2-year-oldP"
 Nov, ma'am" he turned to her. The eternal smile creased his wind-worn checks but his gray tyes were gimlet-hard. "I sort of like the colt"
 "so do others" Linda was oil business. Uncle doesn't know it --r just got here a moment ago. but I have @ flat offer of sixteen thousand, and Q Ally thrown in to boot for Golden Toy. If he wins, Can you top thatp If not no use talking"
 N was a lie, a monstrous lie. No, Linda told herself, 1t was just hocse-trading, Greek meeting Greek.
 smiling Tom lifted his hat, rubbed his bald pate, looked at Sandy Gordon. And I thought I was e -trader, Sandy" He shook his head, but still smiled.
 MT. Cartwright doesn't want to trade; I'll drive Into town, give an option, Uncle" With swift steps she reached her car. Jumped in. "See you tonight, Uncle Sandy She threw on the self-starter, step- ped on the gas, started off,
 "Heh" Smiling Tom ran after her. Stopped, "Yesp"
 "Wait Q minute, Miss" Cart wright put @ root on the running board. "Now, If you'll listen to reason"
 Ten minutes later Smiling Tom waddled of, an option in his pocket, calling for the purchase of the colt for $i7,500--if he won the Jockey Club Stakes, No purchase If he was beaten, Q whisker, even, Linda had not two, but five hundred dollars option money.
 Heres fifty expenses, Uncle Sandy. Remember, the owner holds the cash"
 Uncle Sandy said nothing for Q moment; but pocketed the money. Then. well, I'm darnedl"

cially. "Now then comin' Go the turn -he's opening up more daylight
 "Whoa, therep the trainer shouted excitedly. His trained eyes saw 1t first. Now Linda saw --and her heart seemed to stop. Golden Toy was running wide coming into the stretch = running to the outside fence = Marder was fighting him
 "Oh, shucksl" Uncle Sandy ex- claimed. "Come on = race is over for us. But 1t wasn't--quite. The colt lost Q half a dozen length on the rlin-out; but Marder, speeding him along the tow-path by the outer rail, managed to finish third.
 The disappointed crowd = Gold en Toy had been heavily played hiss and booed as Marder rode back to weigh out. Uncle Sandy took Linda's arm. Don't worry, honey-the crowds always a fool" he said.
 Marder slid from the colt, jerked the saddle off, weighed out, then came to Uncle Sandy as Q disgruntled Norman blanketed the colt and led him away.
 What happened, sonP" Uncle Sandy asked.
 Marder took a deep breath. Said: Awful sorry, boss - but I couldn't help it. We was three quarters around the turn I was holding his steady, then, like a flash O lightnin, he shot to the rail"
 Uncle Sandy nodded. Repeated the tracks oldest phrase, Better luck next time." Then, T want you for the Stakes, son. We'll break him of that" The trainer started back to the stable, to cool out the colt. Linda went through the gate onto he clubhouse lawn And almost ran into Monte Hills arms.
 Linda! I just shipped in from New York; Been looking for you; then I saw the Toy entered. Knew I'd find you at the finish. Come on-1ve got something important to tell you"
