20 BETTING ON HORSE RACING INCREASES More People in England Back Horses and Wager Larger Sums By Associated Press London, Oct. 16. —There is more betting than ever on horse racing throughout England, according to one of the leading London bookmak lng firms, as though every event was trying to make up for the war-time period when racing as well as bet ting was suspended. "It is not only that more people are betUng," said the head of the concern, "but they are wagering larger sums. The small man who used to have his 'tanner' on a race now risks his shilling or half crown, while the clubman who formerly was content to wager a sovereign now bets a fiver. "I have been in business for 3 5 years, and I have never made such books as this year over the Derby and other classics. "Another point about the present day betting," continued the book maker, "is the number of women who back horses. Fifteen years ago I don't think we had a dozen wom en customers. Now we have hun dreds. I don't know where they get their information, but some of tho biggest checks we have drawn this year have been for women. "They nearly always pay too, when they lose. Of course, we get an oc casional defaulter, as we do among our men customers. But take them all around they are Just as sporting over the business as any of the men we have on our books."

S. ARMY German Officers Apply For Commissions, but Are Refused Berlin, Oct. 15.—The Spanish embassy in Berlin which is in charge of American affairs pending the ratiflcaUon of the Peace Treaty, has received so many applications from regular German army officers who want to serve in the American Army that it has posted a big sign on the outer door announcing that such applications will not be accepted and that it is useless to apply. The number of applicants since has gradually decreased but still there are some. Some of those seeking commis sions In the American Army urged that they could be of value in "teaching the Americans how to fight." There has been a rush also ot German officers to Join other for mer enemy or neutral armies. The applicants were ready to serve in either the American, British, Jap anese, Argentine or even the French forces. Every correspondent in Germany, regardless of his nationality, has been bombarded with queries and personal applications. In vain did they assure the officers that their armies would under no circum stances accept German officers. In vain the explanation was made that all the Entente armies were over burdened with officers and were making every effort to demobilize them. Argentina has become more or less the mecca of the would-be emi grants from Germany because it has advertised through its consulate for agricultural laborers and has offer ed inducements in the way of free land. However, those who want most to leave Germany want least to go to farming. For those who really want to take up agriculture the Argen tina invitation is still attractive.
