TWINS TRICK AT PORTER POHTKR. INT.'.. Aug. 16 Hay Wo'i-t:.t-.. .lack !.( ru; s ' dark hr rse." did tlie trick yesterday in the motorcycle ricts at the Porter Speedway, winning fii st place in the three races winch he ei.tered. Weishaer is a factory rider for the Harley-Davidson Co.. and has a machine which h claims will c'e...n up on anything in the game. His timewas about the same as that mad- by Kt-rn on his eight-valve Indian at the Porter track last month. Rumors of Leech's "dark horse" had reached the Excelsior plant and the result was that three factory riders or the "X" were also in the rates. It was neck-ar.d-neck with the four spee-i kings in every event and gave the big crowd its money's worth. Following are the results: Five Mile Professionals Weishaer, (Harley-Davidson) first: Cropp. second; Anderson, third. Time: 4 mmut's 36.4 seconds. ' Five M:l- Stock Olds (Harley-Davidson) first; Anderson, second; Brayachthird. Time: 5 minutes. 8.5 seconds. Ten Mile Professional Weishaer (Harley-Davidson) first; Murray, second: Anderson, third. Time: 9 minutes. 21 seconds. Ten Mile Side-Car Cropp (Excelsior) first; Rrayach. second: Olds, third. Time. 12 minutes. 10.8 seconds. Ten Mile Professional Weishaer (Harley-Davidson) f,r.- Anderson, second; Cropp. third. Time: 9 minutes. 27.4 seconds. Anderson and Olds, two local favorites of the racing fans, were mati-'.i ' ed for a three-mile race after the main events. This race seemed of greater interest to the crowd than any of the others. Olds had just won the five-mile stock race. They got off to a poor start and finished before the judges could decide whether they should start over. The crowd was calling for a new race and one man passed the hat to collect a new purse. The fans tosed in 122.40 more than the regular prize so the boys were started on a three-mile-face . Anderson won with his Excelsior. Yesterday's races are considered the best in every- repert held at any of the tracks this year. IRRIGATION fcPECIL TO THC TIME?' WHITING. 1ND-.

WORLD-US WAR IDEA IS SCOUTED Diplomat Gives Nine Reasons Why World War Is Improbable

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ISTAFF CORRESPONDENT 1 N. rEVICEI WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 There will be no world war against soviet Russia. France. England. Italy and the V. S. will not take up arms against the Russians unless forced to do so In self defense, and they will not be forced. Instead, the Russian peoples themselves will solve their own prob- ' lems. probably within the net six ! months, by the overthrow of the Bol- ! shevists . ! Th;s prediction was made by Ambassador to Russia, David R. Francis, in an interview given the International News Service today following a long conference with Secretary to the President Tumulty at the "White House and Secretary pf State Rainbridge Colby. Ambassador Francis left Russia in Marcn. 1918. but technically he is still accredited to that post. "Not more than ten per' cent of the people of Russia are Bolshevists at heart," the ambassador stated. "That being the case. Bolshevist rule over sia canot last long.
