These will be ridden by Mrs. Jlell JJIiinchett, wife of one of the lending performers nt the roundup last year. lilanchett was recently killed while serving in n Conadinn regiment with the Hrit ish forces in France. Competition will be keen between the two towns fls represented by I be respective WITH THIS MUTISM ARMIKS IN BKUIIUM, Juno 28. Ypres today Is not a deserted city. Thoro is life amid the ruins made by German guns. Not all the population of the famous Uelglan cathedral town has fled. The swans are still there. Kor three yearB they have lived In a slirapnel-swept desolation. Hun dreds of bets have .been laid by sol diers on how long they would con tinue to nest In the Ypres moat. Eurly in tho war these swans wore famous. Then they bceamo merely objects of mild curiosity. Now they aro accept ed by tho llrltish army as part of ovory-dny life. Tho ramparts abovo their homo, centuries old, aro torn and pitted by Hun shells, but they remain intact And tho ono little faintly of swans lives on, unscared by shrapnel, un- frightened by airbombs living re minders of tho fact that Belgium's swans, like Belgium's people, can never be robbed of their spirit by (icrman 'rightfulness.

Don't miss it, as in this connection the amateur clasll'icalion does not imply indifferent skill on the part of novices. The real genuine thriller, however, is reserved for the professional con test in which the traditional unruly young twain, batched on a day when the German "bombardment was most terrible. "y Once during tho brooding season a shell hurst near tbe nest. The sit ting swan paid no attention to It, except that sho fluttered a little from tho concussion. There is a scrap of shrapnol hulf burled and flattened "between two bricks of the moat not throe feet from tbo neBt. This struck at night. When itho soldiers saw them In the morning tho two old birds and the young, onos wore stretching their necks preparatory to their morning dip into the moat's waters, finite as if tho night had been ono of un troubled slumber. This map shows the political dismemberment of the once powerful Russian empire as a result of the revolution. Most of the small re publics shown are now under German domination. The shaded portion on the map is all that is left of "Greater" Rus sia, the Dolshevlkl republic and even their control of some of this is uncertain. The other states are as follows: Finland, under German military control. 2 Ksthonla, Livonia and Courland, the Baltic provinces. 3 Lithuania, under a German "protectorate."
