SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 3.-Ihe first Saturday Of the
Saratoga meeting was . bowling
success today-for every one except
the favorites.
A crowd of 15,5O0-1 900 over the
attendance for the first Saturday
last season-turned out to send
$574,989 through the mutuel ma
chimes and to see the favorites
beaten in both big races, the United
States Hotel Stakes and the Sara
toga Handicap.
Mrs. B. F. Whitaker's greatly
improved Sickle T., running right
back to the form he showed at
Empire City, captured the handicap
IN easy fashion as George D. Wide
ner's heavily backed Eight Thirty
came In third.
Attention First Home.
The Hotel Stakes, a 2-year-old
dash, went to Mrs. Parker Corn
ing's Attention, with the favored
Overdrawn, also owned by Widener
In sixth place.
Eight Thirty, considered unbeat-
able over the Saratoga track
wasn't up to the task of carrying
129 pounds over the " mile rout
and giving away 10 pounds to
Sickle T. The Texas-owned colt
took an early lead and held his
field safe all the way, winning by
two lengths from Mrs. Payne Whit
ney's Hash. Eight Thirty, falter-
ing in the stretch, allowed Hash to
come through on the rail and take
the place by q length and a half.
The victory was worth $3.50 to
Sickle T., who started a winning
streak in class c company and
made it four straight today. He
paid $3.50 for 81 In the mutuels
and was timed in 2:03.
Whirlaway Barely Misses.
Attention. bumped and beaten in
the Arlington Futurity. which was
run over a muddy track, picked up
top weight of 122 pounds in today's
3Sth running of the United States
Hotel Stakes and lasted to beat
Warren Wright's Whirlaway by q
half length.
Attention earned $11,075 and re-
paid his hackers at $3.50 for 81,
but Whirlaway gained most of the
glory. The Wright colt was last
out Of the gate and next to last
at the quarter. but was running
over the winner in the closing
strides.
w. E. Boeing's lightly played
Twinkippy was third, five lengths
away.

ConstAntine brown. smashed ana re-
duced to impotence for many years
to come.
If this is to be the lot of the
Reich, it will be divided into a
number of small republics definitely
separated from each other. Ger
many will revert to what it used to
be before the Franco-Prussian war
of 1870, minus East Prussia, which
would become part of Poland.
The unity of the German Empire
which has created the present tur-
moil in Europe because Of the ex-
pansionist ideas of the German peo-
pie must be destroyed.
German Neighbors.
But if the war turns against the
allies, the French and the British
Empires will be destroyed-and
mercilessly.
Under these circumstances the
Germans would become our i'm
mediate neighbors by the conquest
of the British, French and Dutch
possessions in the Western Hemis-
phere. Not only would they take
the West Indies and the Caribbean
Islands, but also the three Guianas
and Curacao, which belong to Brit
ain, France and the Netherlands.
In many diplomatic quarters
President Roosevelt's statement on
Thursday that the Germans might
come close to the shores of the
United States in, say, Venezuela,
was interpreted to mean that they
will establish themselves not in that
independent Latin American Re-
public, but in these allied territories
in South America.
Might Deed Possessions.
Hence, it is said, the allies might
consider ceding their American
possessions to the United States-in
lieu of payment of their old war
debts.
There have been no conversa-
tions about this at present because
for the time being there is no
reason to contemplate a total de-
feat of the allies. But should this
happen it is considered more than
likely that the allies would make
this gesture toward the United
States.
In any event, it is believed in
many responsible quarters here that
even if such a deciding of possess
sions did NOT take place, in the case
of a British-French defeat, this
country, acting in full agreement
with the Latin American republics,
would find it necessary to occupy
the allied possessions in the Western
Hemisphere rather than let them
fall into the hands of the totali-
tarians. The Monroe Doctrine
would amply justify such step.

to put forward candidate for
President against the nominee of
the Democratic party-on the theory
that the Democratic nominee will
be President Roosevelt, for a third
term.
Chairman Hamilton of the Re-
publican National Committee has
even given respectability to these
reports, issuing a formal statement
to the effect that no suggestion for
postponement of the national con-
vention has been made to him. He
added there is no reason for a
postponement of the G. o. p. con-
Vention.
1t seems incredible that the Re-
publican party should consider
either postponing it's convention or
throwing support to the reelection
of the President-if he runs. In
deed, there seems not the slightest
prospect that such a course will
be pursued, even if the country
should be drawn into the war
abroad. AS a matter of fact, the
country is still at peace. The Re-
publicans have not yet subscribed
to the doctrine that only one man
In all this Republic is capable OF
serving, in the present circum-
stances or any that may arise, as
President. Certainly it is a matter
which the people should decide
for themselves at the polls next
November-again in the event the
President decides to run.
Pretext for New Dealers.
The New Dealers-and the Demo-
Gratis generally-wish to remain in
power. This would be equally true
If the whole world was at peace.
The war situation abroad Is used
as a pretext, a reason why that
party must be retained in control of
the Government. An adjournment
of politics at this time and during
the national political campaign
which eliminates next November in
a presidential election would, in
reality, be playing politics in the
interest Of the New Dealers. The
Republicans are not inclined to fall
into line.
The Republican leaders have
said the Republicans will back to
the utmost plans for improving the
national defenses, in the air, on
sea and ON land. That is a nom
partisan matter. and properly so
But they see no reason why Mr.
Roosevelt should be continued as
President after next January. They
insist that in his opinion he has
not proved an efficient Chief Execu-
tive in time of peace. They ask
why should he be an efficient Presi-
dent in time of war? If he has not
been able to bring about recovery
in time of peace, why should he be
able to bring victory if this country
becomes involved In war? And
why should he be the one man who
is able to keep this country out of
