(Continued From First Page.) was eight lengths in front of the American-owned horse. On the second time around the two-mile course, Reynoldstown took the lead from Thomond, 2d, at Becher’s Brook with Blue Prince third. Whitney's jumper moved to the front again at the canal turn, however, and apparently had the race well in hand when he weakened in the final dash. Reynoldstown carried 158 pounds, 11 more than was packed by Blue Prince, one of the lightweights of the field of 27. Thomond II had 167 pounds in the saddle, with Jockey Speck han- dling the reins. Blue Prince closed at 40 to 1 and Thormond II, at 9 to 2. Only Six Finish. Only six finished the course. Lazy! Boots was fourth, Uncle Batt fifth and Bachelor Prince sixth. The four other American-owned entries, including <tastle Irwell, owned and ridden by George H. (Pete) Bostwick, fell either the first or second time around the course. Nobody in the main stand knew when Golden Miller went down, but thousands gasped disappointment when | he failed to appear the first time past the judges' stand. The bookmakers danced with joy. The Bostwick-Castle Irwell combi- nation looked great the first time around, running a strong second to Uncle Batt. The American sportsman dropped out of competition quickly, however, as Thomond II, Blue Prince and the winner moved to the front. The three leaders took the next to the last hurdle almost together, and then Thomond II forged to the front by a narrow margin. He was unable to stand the pace, however. When the first three horses crossed the finish line no other horse was in sight. Slower Than 1934. Golden Miller fell at the first fence after Valentine's Brook on the first trip around the course. Reynoldstown was clocked in 9 min- utes and 21 seconds, one second slower than the record established by Golden Miller last year. Clear, sparkling weather promised game spectators the finest visibility in many years for the running of the famous steeplechase. There was no hint of ground haze such as marred last year’s event. Great Britain declared a holiday while a half million of the King's subjects sought to gain at least a fleeting glimpse of the running. Twenty-seven jumpers had been named for this most gruelling steeple- chase in the world—4 miles 856 yards, with 30 jumps. Golden Miller, winner a year ago, was the shortest-priced favorite in the Grand National's 97-year history, 9 to 4 against, in the last night's quotations. Carrying most of the American hopes were Thomiond II and Castle Irwell. Thomond II was quoted at 6 to 1 and Castle Irwell at 20 to 1.} Between the two American favorites in the betting list was F. E. Peek's French-bred Tapinois, a 19-to-2 shot. Completing the American contin- gent were Whitney's Royal Ransom, 25 to 1; Jesse Metcalfe’s Theras, 66 to 1, and M. D. Blair's Fouquet, 80 to 1. D. C. SWEEPS HOLDER GETS $18,000 DESPITE HIS HORSE'S FAILURE (Continued From the linotype operator, “wouldn’t bet $18,000 on a horse he never saw.” Teed decided to take the cash. This morning he banked it. “That 818,000 was drawing interest,” said ‘Teed, “when Tapinois lost out at Ain- tree.” Teed said he wasn't going to invest in any fancy stocks. “I'm fol- lowing my banker’s advice and hope to have a nest egg for my old age.” J. Harry Cunningham, for years secretary of the Gridiron Club and president of an engraving company here, held a sweepstakes ticket on the horse to place fourth, Lazy Boots. Cunningham said he expected to realize about $4,200 on the ticket. All of the tickets are worth $3975 and there is a cash prize in addition on horses which finish the gruelling course. None of four other local holders of sweepstakes tickets placed in the prize money at today’s running. DANCE SPONSORED Jewish Student Loan Fund Again to Hold “Gigolettes.” Encouraged by the success of their last “gigolettes” dance, the Jewish Student Loan Fund is sponsoring an- other dance to be held tomorrow night at the Jewish Community Center. One hundred and fifty members of Phi Delta, Sigma Pi Sigma and Iog Gam- ma Phi Sororities will act as hostesses. Proceeds from the affair will be used to help pay for the tuition of students through the loan fund. The fund is indorsed by many civic leaders in the Capital, including Mrs. Charles A.

FTER having fooled for 15 years with all kinds of idealis- tic formulas of international co-operation, outlawry of wars and what not, Europe is now settling down and putting into effect once more the good old system of military alliances and secret agree- ments. When the new war breaks out the discredited statesmen will shout again that this is the last war “to end all wars.” * o % o* After President Wilson made known his 14 points and the slogan that the allies were fighting “to make the world safe for democracy,” Bernard Shaw issued his own statement. Said Shaw: “President Wilson has ren- dered the allied powers a real service by telling them what they are fighting for. They did not know it until now.” * ¥ x *x It will be amusing to read in the next few months another statement regarding the fight for democracy, signed by Mussolini and Stalin. WHaTE T Al AReIT \\g {Ae 2] In the meantime, while armies are being sent to strategical points and airplanes are being put into shape for active combat, the invisible, mys- terious “official spokesmen” or “high authorities” are bursting into print with statements and insinuations which cannot be substantjated.

It will be an interesting duel of wits between the smooth, cultivated, sharp and witty Capt. Anthony Eden and the rough but shrewd Maxime Lit- vinofl. * ¥k ¥ % Eden is going to try and win over the Soviet government to the idea of keeping Germany hemmed in without resorting to fighting; Litvinoff believes in a more drastic solution: “Off with Hitler's head,” which means crushing Germany before she has a chance to become so strong that she can be no longer crushed. * ok kX Like all new republics, the Soviets pecially when it is contrasted with the old Czarist army. figures in Russia: a former locksmith, a former top sergeant and a former officer of the Czar—Voroshiloff, Bu- | deny and Bluecher. | * x % % | Klim Voroshiloff is the only real rev- g | olutionary in the high command of Blessed relief has been the experience of thousands who have used PILE-FOE, This soothing ointment relieves burning and itching of Blind, Bleeding, Pro- trudiog Piles.

He owes the job as minister of war and generalissimo of the Soviet forces to his close friend- ship with Stalin. He hates Jews in general and Trotsky in particular. He is an ardent communist as far as Rus- sia is concerned but does not care a hoot for the brethren proletarians in Mexico or in Uganda. His military knowledge inspires con- cern to the chiefs of the French and British armies. His general education is equally scanty. At a meeting of the scientific branch of the general staff some officers were discussing a | question relating to the dynamic co- |efficient and control figures. Voro= shiloff presided and looked blanker | and blanker as his specialists were ex- pounding their theories. Finally, he turned towards his old pal, Budeny. and whispered: “Let's get out and have a shot of vodka; my head is turning.” But Voroshiloff makes up for his de- | ficient military knowledge by sur- | rounding himself with men who know the war business inside out. They are putting up with him because he is making an honest effort to play the soldier. He has learned to ride and is competing in many of the regi- mental horse shows. He has a short temper. Sometime ago he learned through hs own men that Chief Messing of the G. P. U. had put some attractive dancers on his trail. He walked in the office of that potentate when he was alone.

Son of a | peasant he learned the military busi- |ness as a top sergeant in the Czarist army. He was the best horseman of the crack Caucasian division. He has only two passions in life—the army and the horses, and still insists on the 15-pace snappy salute—like in the Czar's day—from the subordi- nates. Recently he was in Moscow on the occasion of one of those innumer- able parades of the Red army. Next to him was one of the former Czarist generals who have accepted service in the army of the republic. Budeny was happy, bubbling over himself at the splendid show given by the proletarian soldiers. “Your Excel- lency—the old trooper still calls his former chiefs excellency—dost thou |see that: What?

No diplomatic dinner is considered complete without the former top sergeant. He has learned the one-step and the waltz and is one of the most enthusiastic dancers in the Soviet capital. But he is at his best when he has somewhat overindulged in champagne and vodka. Then he starts telling his story, the story of the Red revolution. He warms up gradually and works himself into a frenzy, shouting com- mands, ordering charges like on the | battlefield. He is the superb soldier again. * k% % ‘The real modern soldier of the Red army is Gen. 1lii Bluecher, commander of the armies in Siberia. He is con- sidered a somewhat mysterious per- sonality, the general belief being that he has taken the name of Bluecher because it is impressive. . | The truth is that the Soviet com- mander’s name is really Bluecher. He comes from & German family from the Baltic provinces and is a descendant of the famous German general who defeated Napoleon, Prince Bluecher., At the outbreak of the World War he was a young officer in the Czarist army. He belonged to a crack regi- ment. He served honorably through- out the war and like many intelligent Russian officers became disgusted with the lack of organization, corruption and inefficiency of the imperial army.
