Yt falls Bach year either on the last Wednes- day in May or the first Wednesday in June, according to the racing calen- dar, and is without question the greatest of all sporting events. It provides the supreme test for three- year -olds, a gallop of something more than a mile and a half over an un- dulating course, -with a couple of sharp turns, that test not only the speed and stamina of the horse but 'his conformation as well. It would be almost impossible for a horse with bad shoulders to win the Derby, de- spite the fact that just as good hors- es come in all colors sometimes they 'come in queer shapes. While there are always hundreds of thorough- breds doing stud duty in the British Isles the winner of e Derby is assur- ad of a full book for the year after he is retired if not for longer, since be is accepted as the champion of his season, with the hall mark of great - mess upon him. It is an old story that young Archibald Philip Primrose, when ask- ed what his ambitions were replied that he wished to marry an heiress, Become prime minister of England and win the Derby. Passing over ;the 'heiress aspiration we have no doubt that more people have wished to win ,the Derby than 'to become prime min- ' liter. They have devoted more time, senergy and money to the pursuit. If eequal industry and intelligence were directed to the business of becoming premier it would be necessary to 'have a new one every year to begin to utilize the available supply. In many cases this great end has been sought through generations, a grand- son sometimes having realized the wish that was in the heart of the grandsire when he gathered his brood ,'Snares together and began to breed them to the finest sires in the land. Mut there is no guarantee that the utmost care and sagacity. reinforced any unlimited means, will bring about "the desired end. Careers and for- tunes have been dedicated in vain to this supreme ambition. For example there is the case of the Aga Khan, the Moslem religious potentate who so happily combines she office with a life devoted to the fortunes of racing. He spends tre- rnendous sums on racing stock and has given a concentrated attention to the problems of breeding that may well have impaired his ecclesiastical functions. We have no doubt that if snmebodv could guarantee that he -would win a Derby he would not hesi- tate to pay a million dollars for the 'honor of it. He has had, generally speaking, a successful career on the turf but is not yet in sight of this Mecca of all turfinen..He thought he Shad in Costaki Pasha a likely candi- date but the colt broke down and though he has four other entries not much is expected of them. Horses enay go wrong almost at the last moment, and Derby candidates have a full two years in which to meet with the various mishaps that horses are %eir to, since they must be entered as yearlings. It is the custom of most English breeders when they ehave a fashionably bred colt or filly, to enter it for the Epsom classic. There are probably 300 entered on an average of which perhaps 20 survive to go to the post. Those that thus 'ace the issue have contributed about 200 guineas by the time the flag falls.. The great majority of the horses en- tered either fail to show class, suffer from injuries, die or have been beaten so decisively by other certain starters that they are withdrawn. King George maintains a racing Stable and has started horses in the Derby before now. One of these was ' A.nmer, now doing stud duty in On- tario. It was Anmer that killed the young su ragette who hurled herself vender his thundering hooves to call attention to the fact that the women ad England wanted the right to vote. `were a victory for hismajesty pos- dble to -day we think his, would See the greatest outburst of enthusi- asm in its venerable history.

Once more there was a tremendous outpouring of pat- riotic joy. But whether he be king or commoner the owner of the Derby winner as he leads his horse to the steward's stand would not change places at that instant with any man in the British Isles, nor the dominions beyond the sea. OPINIONS ON WAR SLOWLY SOLIDIFYING Who was responsible for the war? Could it have been shortened? Was the armistice concluded with the ap- proval of the military leaders of the allies? In the past ten years there has been a veritable flood of testi- mony on these points and others con- cerning the great struggle, and yet it will be generations before mankind has readhed anything like unanimity of opinion upon them all. Neverthe- less there never was a great event in history concerning which such a vast amount of information was available so soon after it occurred, and some facts are emerging and assuming the shape which it seems likely they will always retain. Certainly no informed person takes the views of the war that he took when it began. The notion that the ex -Kaiser was a devil or a criminal imbecile, bent upon establish- ing his authority over the whole world and that the whole German nation sprang with lustful zest into a war for which it had been long and dili- gently preparing is no longer enter- tained. We :,oys this while not re- ceding from •ur original opinion that the Kaiser should have been hanged. The causes of the war were not so simple as the masses of the people at one time supposed. It was desirable that a simple formula should be pro- vided for the masses because it was necessary that they should throw all their energy into the struggle. To the credit of the statesmen in all coun- tries it must be admitted that they were prompt to provide the necessary formulas. That they differed in each country did not lessen their effective- ness. But historians are not satisfied with such arrangements, however practical they are for notions in arms. They do not accept anybody's unsup- ported statement, and the fact thatt a statesman may be good and well- meaning does not necessarily mean that he did nothing to bring about the war. Charles Seymour, in the Yale Review, has performed a useful func- tion by glancing over some of the more important contributions to the solution of the great war mystery and indicating the currents of controvers- ial opinion as well as the few facts that seem to have been pretty well established. He remarked that Lord Grey's con- tention that Germany's attitude be- fore the war made it necessary for Britain to enter the continental sys- tem side by side with France and Russia has been weakened by the stu- dies of such German students as Lutz and Montgelas. These experts sug- gest that there were definite and ev- en disabling limits to Grey's knowl- edge of continental politics as well as to his imagination. Nevertheless Grey's sincerity and his efforts to maintain peace must stand unchal- lenged and unchallengable. There is not the slightest basis for the more rabid German contention that he had developed a Machiavelian plot to de- stroy Germany. Poincare's memoirs are a vigorous retort to the charges that he sought to encourage Russia in a belligerent attitude. Mr. Sey- mour is inclined to dismiss the theory that Germany plotted the war and used Austria as a stalking horse in order to start a conflict which would give her world supremacy. Likewise inadmissible is the notion that Ger- many and Austria were the victims of the tortuous and sinister diplomacy of France and Russia. He says: "Authoriative historical opinion has reached the conclusion that it is im- possible to assign a major share of responsibility to any one power. It emphasizes the weakness of states- men in face of the danger of war, but it attributes the blame for the catas- trophe to the system of alliances, en- gendering rivalry and fear, rather than to individuals."

There is direct conflict of testimony here. Ludendorff asserts that the German politicians are to blame. Following the military disasters in August, 1918, he said he told Prince Max of Baden then chancellor, that a military vic- tory was impossible and that there- fore diplomatic negotiations which might lead to mediation were much needed, Ludendorff himself had plan- ned an armistice which would have permitted the German armies to with- draw to a shorter and more easily de- fendable line. But when the negotia- tions began the German civil authori- ties permitted themselves to be out- manoeuvred by the allies, and partidta- larly by 'President Wilson. To this Prince Max has retorted that the warning from Ludendorff came too late, and that his insistence that not a moment could be lost put the Ger- mans at a decided dieadvantage in opening negotiations. • Sec Boys' Blouses 75c oys' Overalls 4Be Men's Balbriggan 50c Men's Merino, No. 71, nag Men's Fancy Cotton Sox Men's Work Sox e New Dms Newer in Stay ea Batter in Vehea very special showing of New Dresses that carry all the latest fashion touches that are attracting every woman.
