Me., sunk in a collision with the battleship j Nebraska last Friday night, were landed at the Charlestown Navy yard today by the naval tug Iwana. which took them off the battleship at Bos ton light. The party numbered 11, including the woman, Mrs. Agromonti. the wife of the steward. Most of them were sent to the Seamen's i Bethel to be cared for as they were virtually destitute, having been unable to save any of their effects. Bark Abandoned i Captain William Meyers, master and I principal owner of the bark, said he j was about 35 miles off Cape Cod and heading for Boston in a thick fog just i before T P. M. Friday when he heard warning whistles. He answered with his fog horn, but almost immediately the big stem of the battleship struck his vessel, tearing a bow hole. The bark began to fill and after a brief examination of the damage. Captain Meyers decided to abandon her. He was getting ready to clear away his boats when a boat from the battle 1 ship appeared and took off the en tire crew, ten minutes after the col lision occurred. No one was injured, j Two parrots belonging to the stew j ard's wife were saved. 1 In the hope that the bark might re main afloat the battleship was kept in the vicinity all night and cruised about yesterday in the fog searching for her. When Captain Meyers was satisfied, after finding a comforter from his cabin floating in the water, that his vessel had gone down, the Nebraska was headed for this port, arriving off Boston light early today. The Mabel I. Meyers sailed from Barbados July 6 for this city and 1 Portland, with a casgo of molasses. She was built in 1891 at Searsport. i Me., ar.d was 168 feet in length with i a net tonnage of 668. The Nebraska was bound from Rockport for Newport to engage in i the fleet maneuvers. She sustained no injury.

MILITIA HOLDS CONTROL OF THE MASSEHA RIOTS Disperses Men Barricaded Be hind Bridge and Establishes Patrol—Sheriff Was Power i less

Massena, X. Y.. Aug. 1.—Three compa nies of state militia from Malone and i Ogdensburg arrived here today and too-; charge of the strike situation at th-a plant of the Aluminum Co. of America, after a riot last night in which one workman, who refused to walk out. was 1 killed. Sheriff Thaddeus Day of pt. T,aw rence county, who was called to Masse j na at the first outbreak, was unable to i sut due the strikers at a bridge entrance to the plant, which they were holding. Finding it impossible to control the 2403 employes on strike, Sheriff Day called I upon Governor Whitman for troops a id 1 three companies reached here at noon, j The strikers, barricaded behind the bridge, were charged by the troops and dispersed. Later the troops took posses i sion of the plant and established a pa tiol, the sheriff's deputies meanwhile oe I ing sent out to arrest the strikers re sponsible for the outbreak, j While there was promiscuous shooting j near the factory, the militia took no part in It, the encounters being between strikers and employes who had refused to join them In a walkout. Representatives of the men declared tbeir grievance was due to a demand for higher wages which they claimed was not granted. Another Death Investigation today showed that a 1 workman who refused to take parr in the walkout was thrown into a canal and drowned. MAN FOUND DEAD ON TRACK-CHECK FOR $17,000 GONE Hastings, X. Y„ Aug. L—Daughters of Richard Moynan of Brooklyn, wboee body was found upon the tracks of the New York Central Railroad near here Friday, said Saturday that they were positive their father, who was a moving picture promoter, had a certified check for $17,000 in bis possession when he left home. The check was not found in any of the man's pockets, and this U ct, coupled with an investigation by tne police, led them to declare their belief that Moy nan’s body was either placed upon the to cover a douol* crime, or that an had Mien or been pushed off, __ ANNIVERSARY OF OUTRREAK OF WAR PASSES WITHOUT PROMISED TEUTON OCCUPATION OF WARSAW--RUSSIANS LEAVING CAPITAL A_—_ Strong Reinforcements with Fresh Troops Aid Germans’ Attempt to Encircle Whole Rus-1 sian Army—Report 95,000 Russians Captured in July Between Pilica and Baltic Rivers Russians Block Advance by General Von Bue low and Prepare to Hold the Brest Line—Ger mans Appear to Have Inexhaustible Supply Of Ammunition on Western Front UNCONFIRMED REPORT AUSTRIANS MAKE READY TO EVACUATE TRIEST AFTER REMOVAL OF ALL MACHINERY OF THEIR MUNITIONS FACTORIES London, Aug, 1—10.45 P. M.—The anniversary of the out break of the war passed without the Germans occupying War saw, which was understood to be part of their program. How ever, news of this climax to the Austro-German offensive in the east, which was begun in the early days of May, is hourly expected, for what little information is allowed to leak through is that the Russians for several days have been withdrawing to the Brest line, leaving small forces to fight rear guard actions, so that the main armies might make good their retreat. These rear guard actions have developed at many places into fairly large battles, as the Russians, whose steadiness has been phe nomenal in the face of defeat, are offering stubborn resistance to the German advances and delivering powerful counter-at tacks. For example, they have prevented Field Marshal Von i Hindenburg from throwing more of his troops across the Na rew, repulsed German attacks northwest of Warsaw’, and driven back to the river some of the i nvading troops w-ho crossed the Vistula south of Warsaw. Von Mackensen Advance In the southeast, Field Marshal Vor. i Maekensen continues his victorious advance. He has swept aside the re sistance of the Russians and forced them to retreat along both banks of the Bug. The Germans have already passed through Chelm in pursuit. Thus, on this front the retirement of the Warsaw armies is seriously threat ened. During the month of July, Berlin says, the Germans captured more than 95,000 Russians between the F*il ica river ana the Baltic alone. Von Buelow Stopped The Russians, according to Petro grad. have stopped General Von Bue low’g advance in Kovno province, to ward the Vilna-Petrograd railway. If Grand Duke Nicholas is to hold the Brest line after his retirement from Warsaw it is absolutely necessary that General Von Buelow's offensive should be arrested, for should he reach the railway he would seriously interfere with the Russian communi cations. Russians' Danger It is not yet certain whether the Russian armies can make good their retirement from Warsaw. Certain^' the Austro-Germans axe doing their i best to prevent it and have moved up very strong reinforcements to hasten their encircling movement.

Bluejackets Will Remain Haiti Guard Expeditionary Force Probably to Be Maintained at Port Au Prince Until Permanent Peace —French Sailers Protect the French Legation ■Washington. Aug. 1.—With the consent of the United States, French marines have been landed at Port Au Prince, Haiti, where last week’s revolution over turned the government and necessitated the landing of an expeditionary force from the United Stater cruiser Wash ington to restore order. A detachment from the cruiser Descartes is now guard ing the French legation, from which President Guillaume was taken by a mob and assissinated. A request for the guard was presented by the French min ister at Port Au Prince and cabled to Washington by Rear Admiral Caperton, in command of the American expedition ary force. The French minister had exr pressed an urgent desire that his lega tion be guarded by French sailors, inas much as the Descartes had arrived at Port Au Prince. The minister thought also that the French guard would be able to lighten the burden on Admiral Caperton's 400 men to some extent. Upon receipt of Admiral Caperton’s cablegram Secretary Daniels conferred with Secretary of State Lansing. Mr. Lansing could see no objection to the landing of a small detachment from the Descartes for the special purpose of guarding the French legation. So comr plications would arise from such a sit uation, In the secretary’s opinion, and Admiral Caperton was Instructed to af ford the French minister every facility to assist in landing the force. Port Au Prince was reported quiet to day. The battleship Connecticut with 50C additional marines is now en route to the island republic and will be followed by the ship Solace and the navy trans port Hancock. Other reinforcements may be sent if there are any more attacks on the city by revolutionists such as that in which two Americap bluejackets I were killed. The expeditionary force is expected to remain in Haiti until lasting peace is restored.

Aug. 2, 1.06 A. M.—The official list of the dead of the British steamer Iberian, shelled by a German submarine, accounts for six men— three Americans and three English men. The Americans were Mark L. Wiley of Boston, assistant foreman; John Carroll and Patrick Sheridan. The Englishmen were Proudfoot, Ap pleby and O’Keefe. The wounded Americans are Henry Welsh, Charles Hansbury and John Nradwell. The British wounded are James McGuigan, J. Berry and L. B. Bolton. Sinking of Liner London, Aug. 1.—The Leyland liner Iberian, which sailed from Liverpool for Boston July 29, has been torpe doed and sunk by a German subma rine. The steamer was shelled when Capt. Jago tried to run for it and five of her crew were killed. Two others died aboard a rescue boat. The liner was halted by the shell ing and those on board were given plenty of time to leave before, the 6hip was torpedoed. Sixty-one of the crew reached land safely. On the previous trip the Iberian sailed from Boston July 7 and reached Liverpool July 20. U. S. ACTION IMPROBABLE Reports of Destruction of Iberian Show No Grievance Even If Ameri cans Are Killed Washington. Aug. 1.—The American consul at Queenstown Saturday offi cially confirmed the report of the sink ing of the Iberian and the death of an American mule tender named Wi ley. The first message, dated at 11 A. M., announced merely that the Ibe rian had been submarined. An hour later he cabled that the American. Wiley, whose initials were not given, had sustained slight injuries and had died of exposure. In the same message he said the American ship surgeon Dr. Burns, stated that the German submarine had signaled the Iberian to stop, but the captain of the ship attempted to make a getaway. Thereupon, according to the Burns statement, the Iberian was shelled, and when she finally stopped the crew was given plenty of time to make the boats before a torpedo was sent Into her. If the statement made by Dr. Burns is verified officials of the State depart ment said this Government will take no notice of the case, even though an American is dead as a result of the attack. The State department has taken the position that captains of vessels must stop when signalled by submarines, and if they refuse to heed the warn ing they may be stacked. In the case of the Iberian the state ment of Dr. Burns appears to establish tbe fact that the captain had ample op portunity to save all of hia crew bj stopping when warned. EXPECT GERMAN NOTE TODAY ON SINKING OF FRYE Washington. Aug. 1.—The German note regarding the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye which was handed to Ambassador Ge rard at Berlin yesterday, had not been received at the state department to night. It was expected to arrive to morrow. Secretary Lansing said no word had been received from the Am bassador concerning the note. Another important communication expected tomorrow is Great Brltian's supplemental note replying to Ameri can representations regarding the British blockade and interference with FMday that the re ply would be forwarded in a few days.

A Year Since Germany Declared War Against Russia and All Great rowers of Europe Were Drawn into the Struggled Review of the Terrible Strife in Which Millions of Men Have Been Killed, Wounded or Made Captive __ *______i__—--—--—--—---- Billions of Dollars Expended in Struggle with Thousands of Miles of Territory Devastated And Hundreds of Cities and Towns Left in Ruins—No Decisive Results Yet Attained and No Intimation to Be Found, as to When End Will Come The second vear of the European war opens today. On Aug. 1, 1914, Germany declared war against Russia and the last chance vanished of local ising the Austro-Serblan war, de clared three days previously by Aus tria-Hungary. All the great Powers of Europe were drawn into a struggle the like of which history has not heretofore recorded. Eleven nations are at war and almost all lands are affected, di rectly or indirectly. Millions of men have been killed, wounded or carried to captivity in hostile countries. Bil lions of dollars have been expended. Thousands of square miles of terri tory have been devastated and hun dreds of cities and towns laid waste. Half the world is in mourning for the dead. And although the war has been in progress with unexampled fury for a year, the result may be summarized in one brief sentence. No decisive results have been achieved and the end is not in sight. i* or decisive uncling Determination to pursue the war to a decisive ending has been expressed by high officials of all the belligerent nations, preparations are being made for next winter’s campaign, and. In 'fact, indications from Europe are that It is more likely to increase in size rather than decrease. It is still an open queston whether Bulgaria, Ru mania or Greece will be drawn in. In view of the immensity of the struggle, previous standards count for little in considering the price the ‘world is paying. The figures in volved are so va3t as to convey lit tle meaning. The nations at war have poured out their treasures of men and gold without limit. The usual standards of life have been subordinated or disregarded, and in some cases social, industrial and 'political activities have been virtually reorganized on a militaristic basis, to make all contribute to the supremo necessities of war. It is impossible to obtain accurate statistics of the number of men en gaged. the casualties and the cost. Bor obvious reasons the size of the various armies is kept secret. Most of the nations do not consider it ex pedient to reveal the number of casualties; in fact, Great Britain is the only one which has given out of ficial totals. As to the money ex pended, there are available only par tial statistics. More than half the population of the world lives in the countries at war. The population of the warring countries is estimated roughly at 947, 000,000, and of the countries at peace at 797,000,000. The population^ of the Entente nations is perhaps five times as great as that of their opponents. The number qf men under arms- has been estimate^ variously, usually in the neighborhood of 90,000,000. Wil liam Michaelis, writing recently in js Berlin magazine, put the number 6f soldiers at war at 21,770,000; for th« Allies, 12,820,000 for Germany, Aus tria-Hungary and Turkey 8,950,000. No previous war has approached the present one in wholesale destruc tion of life. This is due not only to the number of men involved, but to the terrible efficiency of modem weapons. Trench warfare on a great scale, with its deadly charges, mining operations and extensive use of artil lery and hand granades, has con tributed to this end. Whereas in the past it has been calculated that the proportion of killed to total casualties runs 1 to 8 or l to 10, the proportion In trench warfare, as indicated by of ficial British statistics. Is about 1 to 6. The battles on the plains of Flan ders, on the Warsaw front, in the Austro-German advance through Galicia and in the Carpathians were attended by frightful slaughter. Rus sian losses in the Carpathians alone were estimated unofficially at 600,000. Along the battlefields from Arras, in northwestern France, to the Belgian coast whole fields have been covered with corpses, and at the time of the German attempt to reach the English Channel the Yser Canal was choked with the dead. According to official British statistics, the British army alone has been losing of late, in killed, wounded and missing 2000 a day. On June 9 Premier Asquith announced that British casualties since the be ginning of the war (excluding naval losses of 13,549 up to May 31) amount ed to 258,069, of which the total of killed was 50,342. Later, however, on July 27, Mr. Asquith issued a statement saying that the naval casualties up to July 20 were 9106. Apparently Mr. As quith’s first statement was based on misinformation, which he has subse quently corrected. The losses of Germany. France and Russia, by reason of their larger armies, have been far greater. The Heer Und Politik of Berlin early in June estimated that more than 5,000, 000 soldiers of the countries at war with Germany and her allies have been killed, wounded or captured. Hailaire Belloc, the English military hood for actual fighting probably had diminished from all causes by nearly one half in the first year of the war, and asserted a conservative estimate was that Germany had much nearer 4,000,000 than 3,000,000 men perma nently out of the field. Estimates of the total casualties run from 6,000,000 to 8.000,000 with the former figure probably conservative. The cost in money runs to a simi larly huge total. Great Britain is now spending about 315,000,000 a day on the war, according to Premier As quith. Albert Metin, general budget reporter of the French Chamber of Deputies, calculates the war is cost ing France $10,000 a minute, or $14, 400,000 a day. William MiChaelis re cently estimated the daily cost to Germany at $8,250,000, saying forty days of this war cost as much as the whole Franco-Pruselan war of 1870-1. In March Dr. Karl Helfferieh, Secre tary of the Imperial Treasury of Ger many, said the war was costing all belligerents $375,000,000 a week. On the basis of .Dr. Helft'erich's es timate, the first year of the war cost the stupendous sum of $11,500,000,000. Mr. Michaelis puts the figure at 15 billions of dollars, not including Italy’s expenditures; a sum more than 50 per cent, greater than the gold production of the world during the last 000 years. Other estimates run still higher, to 20 billion dollars or more. In addition to the money expended directly on the war, the loss in des truction of property on land and sea has run high into the millions. Great losses are being occassioned by the cessation or curtailment of many forms of productive industry. The energies of the world have been large ly diverted to making war. Factories of all sorts have been turned over to the making of war munitions, men taken from mill and field, to be re placed by women, old men and chil dren. Economists assert that for generations to come the worlds will feel the effect of the huge losses, in tlie burden of taxation and otherwise, and sociologists make conflicting pre dictions as to its moral, physical and psychological effect opf" generations living and to come. Neutrals as well as belligerents have been affected. The financial stringency which followed the out break of war was world-wide. The United States, in common with other neutrals, has been confronted with the threatened abridgement bf its rights, particularly at sea, and has sent notes of remonstrance to Eng land and Germany, the complication*' with the latter country following the sinking of the Lusitania giving es pecial concern. The war has been attended with many unexpected features, one of which is its protraction. It had been believed that such a struggle would be of comparatively short duration, on account of the cost and loss of life It would entail. At the outset It was commonly said that within less than a year the nations Involved would be compelled to seek peace through financial exhaustion. If for no other reason. Whije each side has won its victories, no final results have been reached in any of the campaigns, with a few minor exceptions of the lesser operations In distant colonies. Over the greater part of the Franco-Bel (rtan front the opposing millions are facing each other in the same posl tfbns as last September, Movements on the eastern front have been wider, but with no signs of an approaching decision. The German plan is generally as sumed to have been to deal first with France, ip the early weeks of the war before (M Russian army, slower to mobilise, was able to present a seri ous menace; and then to turn on Russia. The fierce resistance of Bel gium aAd the unexpectedly quick mobilization of both the French and' Russian armies prevented the full fruition of this plan. Nevertheless Germany has been able to hold her own on both the eastern and western fronts. In reality the struggle of the eleven nations is divided into a number of separate wars, related to each other ip only a general way. The whole flelf of military operation^ may be summarised as follows: Ip'France and Belgium GeAuany is with Great Britain, Fiance and In August Germany Invaded and France, pushing southward to the gates of Paris. Following of the Marne, perhaps the contest of the war thus Germans were compelled to re treat and have since held an entrenched line from the Belgian coast to Alsace, re taining possession of northwestern France and most of Belgium. In this theatre the war has been so even that the capture of a group of houses or a few yards of trenches has been consid ered a victory worthy of mention In the official reports. The German attempt to break through to the English channel; the British victory at Neuve Chaupelle, the German triumph at Soissons, while calling forth supreme efforts, did not ma terially change the relative positions of the antagonists along the front of nearly 300 miles. On the eastern front Russia faces Ger many and Austria-Hungary. Russian armies invaded Galicia and Bufcowina, capturing most of the former province, to some of the deadliest fighting of the war. In time the struggle here settled down to trench warfare, much as in the west, with Germany retaining a large part -of Russian Poland. Russian inva sions of East Prussia resulted in disas trous defeats. Further north, the Ger manss swept into the Baltic provinces of Russia, capturing Llbau, on the sea. The unprecedented extension of battle lines which this war has witnessed reached its most remarkable exemplifi cation in this campaign, in which the front has been drawn out more than 600 miles, from the Baltic to Bukowina. Italy, after ten month* of uncertainty, began war with Austria-Hungary, in May, and has occupied a fringe of Aus trian territory in the mountainous region to the north. Trent and Triest are the objectives of the Italian campaign. Owing to the difficult nature of the ground ueither of the antagonists has made much headway. On the Gallipoli peninsula, in the Dar danelles and in the Bosphorus Turkey, aided by her Teutonic allies, is at war with France, Great Britain and Russia, with possession of Constantinople as the great stake. Following the failure of the naval assault on the Dardanelles by an Anglo-French beet, troops were landed on the peninsula. Few details of this campaign are available, and little is known beyond the fact that the fighting has been particularly severe, and that the Allies have occupied and retained the tip of the penlsula. Serbia and Montenegro, the former as sisted by British troops, are at war with Austria-Hungary. The Austrian invasion of Serbia ended in failure. On the Mon tenegrin front there has been only de sultory fighting. Both Serbia and Mon tenegro have recently invaded Albania, With the! object of obtaining ports on the sea. On Asiatic soil Russia is at war with Turkey In the Black Sea region. Neither side has employed large numbers of troops In this campaign. There has been fighting in the Caucasus and Persia, with no great accomplishments. Further south, In Mesopotamia, there has been sporadic fighting between Turkish and British troops. Turkey sent an army to attack the Suez Canal, hut the main body of troops failed to reach its objejetive. In Africa French and British troop* occupied Togoland and port of the Ka raerun, German possessions. A British attack on German East Africa was de feated. The insular possessions of Germany In the Pacific were captured by Great Brit ain and Japan. Tsing-tau, the German fortress in Chi na, was capture^ by the Japanese, aided by a British contingent. On the seas there have been no great battles. Great Britain's supremacy, r owing to the overwhelming size of her fieet, has not been disputed to the ulti mate issue, the main German fleet having remained in home waters. Two German cruisers which were in the Mediterra nean when war began went to the Dar danelles, and were acquired by Turkey. A few German cruisers and converted merchantmen, including the famous Emden, and the Karlsruhe, Kronprlnz Wilhelm and Prlnz Eitel Friedrich, raid ed shipping of the Allies for a time, but were eventually sunk or forced to intern In neutral ports. The Austro-Hungarian fleet has re mained in the Adriatic and the Turkish fleet has been kept from the Aegean. Germany’s merchant marine has been swept from the seas. ineic nave oeen several naval battles of importance, however. In. the first month of the war Rear Admiral Beatty’s squadron dashed into Helgoland Bight, near the great German naval station, and sank three German cruisers and two tor pedo boat destroyers. In January oc curred a battle in the North Sea between British warships and a German, squadron which presumably was attempting a raid on the English coast. In this battle the German cruiser Bluecher was sunk. The German Far East squadron defeat ed Vice Admiral Cradock’s British Squad ron oft the Chilean coast on November 1, sinking the Good Hope and Monmouth. The British obtained their revenge in December when, oft the Falkland Islands, a powerful British squadron defeated the Germans, sinking the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Leipzig and Nuernberg. German f squadrons have twice at tacked the English coast, causing some loss of life and damage to property. English towns including London have also been attacked by German aircraft, which have made several successful trips across the North Sea, raiding points on the east coast. Methods of fighting have been altered I radically in consequence of the lessons loarned in the first year of the war. It has been pre-eminently a war of ma chines. The resources afforded by mod ern scientific development have been taxed to devise new instruments of death and destruction more potent than ever had been employed. It has been also a war of surprises. New problems have arisen, necessitating reconstruction of the theory of war. Plans and methods heretofore approved by authorities on military affairs were discarded, and the staffs of the various armies were com pelled to grapple with situations for which there was no precedent. The first great surprise of the war was the German 42-centimeter (161 inch) gun, which hurls for some 15 miles a shell weighing almost a ton. The great forti fications which were the pride of Bel gium, and believed to be almost impreg nable, were battered Into ruins by these guns in a comparatively short time. Two of these guns, stationed 10 miles from Antwerp, wrecked its elaborate defense worksj Liege and Namur fell similarly. The use of artillary and machine guns, in fact, has been one of the principal features of the war. ureat execution was done by the new Krupp 11-lnch howitzer, weighing nearly 40 tons, with a 6-mile radius. The Austrian 12-inch howitzer has also proved exceptionally efficient. The French 75-milllmeter gun is regarded as one of the most effective field pieces. On all the European battlefields artil lery has been the main reliance of the various armies. Trenches bristle wfth ondary place. It was with artillery that the Austro-German forces blasted their way across Galicia a few weeks ago, making what was said to be the greatest concentration of heavy and light field pieces ever seen. With artillery the British won at Neuve Chapelle, the Ger mans at Soissons. Every considerable movement of infantry is preceeded by a heavy artillery bombardment, and fre quently the infantry has little more to do than occupy the positions of the ene my mode untenable by artillery fire. The deadliness of machine guns neces sitated recourse to trenches, for no troops in exposed positions could live within the range of the rapid 'firers. Conse quently trench warfare has developed to an extent never before seen. Whole armies moved into underground quar ters, with elaborate labyrinths of pas sages and subterranean living and slop ing quarters. The result of machine warfare was the use of ammunition on a scale for which the world was unprepared. England recognized it as her greatest problem, and made David Lloyd-George Minister of Munitions, with power to mobilize the nation's workers for the production of war munitions on a colossal scale. France took similar measures. Italy, which had ID months to prepare for war, found it necessary after two months of fighting to appoint by royal decree a su preme committee to increase the produc tion of munitions. The battle of Neuve Chapelle alone is said to have cast, the British the expenditure of more powder than the entire Boer war. One result of the development of this form of warfare is the eclipse of caval ry as one of the principal arms of the service. Cavalry is still used to a small extent on the eastern front, but its em ployment in France virtually has been abandoned. The cavalrymen have been dismounted and placed in the trenches. Almost as conspicuous is the de velopment of submarine warfare. The remarkable exploits of submarines have proved iheir efficiency so thor oughly that already the supremacy of battleships has been challenged. Ger many, compelled to rely chiefly on these craft for her marine activities, has gained the greatest success with them. Their first large achievement was the torpedoing and sinking by one submarine within an hour of the British cruisers Cressy, Aboukir and Hogue in the North Sea in Septem ber. Since that time hundreds of vessels, warships and merchantmen, have been sent to the bottom, in the North Sea, the Baltic, the English Channel, the Adriatic, and at the Dar danelles. .From aii causes more than. 500 vessels have been destroyed. Eng land has been the greatest sufferer, by reason of her preponderance of shipping and also or. account of the German government’s attempt to blockade1 that country following the declaration of a war zone around the British Isles last February. In size, speed and cruising radius the new type of submarines far ex ceeds the earlier small vessels, de signed primarily for coast defense. Germany's new submarines are as long as a good sized cruiser. Captain Otto Hersing took the U-51 about 4000 miles from Wilhelmshaven past Gibraltar, through the Mediterranean and to the Dardanelles, where it tor pedoed the British battleships Tri* umph and Majestic, and proceeded to Constantinople. The voyage from Wilhelmshaven to the Dardanelles re quired one month. me aeroplane, almost an unanown quantity at the beginning of the wap so far as its military value was con cerned, has proved the practicability so thoroughly that it must be rated with the submarine and the heavy gun as one of the great features of the war. In fact, it has exercised a domi nating influence over land operations, and to its use perhaps more than any other single factor may be ascribed the deadlock month after month in the principal fields of battle. It has rendered priceless service in recon noitering, taking the place of cavalry. It has caused a revision of the tactics and strategy of war. Aerial observ ers, flying over the opposing lines, are able to discover movements of any large bodies of troops, rendering that form of strategy based on surprise attacks or quick movements in force impossible. Aeroplanes also have been of great value in locating enemy positions, enabling the artillery to get the range and fire accurately on the unseen foe. Dirigible balloons also are em ployed, but to a much less exent, al though Germany still is constructing Zeppelins and has used them ef fectively for long distance raids they are generally regarded as less valu able than the aerplanes. Automobiles are used to an enor mous extent, all private machines be ing requisitioned in some of the coun tries at war. In some instances great numbers of automobiles have been utilized for rapid transportation of troops. Their man service, however, is in the handling of food supplies and ammunition. Armored automo biles, armed with machine guns or light field pieces also have been util ized. Many new weapons of war have been tested with varying degrees of success. Poisonous gases, projected from tanks in the trenches, are re ported to have enabled their users to capture opposing positions in several minor engagements. Steel darts and incendiary bombs dropped from aero planes. and new tyfces of hand gren ades alSo have been employed, while In France both sides are said to have made use of apparatus for spraying burning oil. The political effects of the war, tre mendous as they must be, cannot ye be gauged. The principal result thu far is the definite rupture of the tra dltional alignment, Which divided Eu rope tor years Into two alliances witl a. theoretical balance of power. Grea Britain. France and Russia, formim the Triple Entente and Germany, Aua constitutinj NOTABLE REVIEW OF NAVAL ACTIVITIES PREPARED FOR ASSOCIATED PRESS BY THE GERMAN NAVAL AUTHORITY, CAPT. PERSIIIS came involved in serious difficulties with Serbia there was little doubt Germany would support her ally in case Russia adhered to her traditional policy of defending her Slavic kins men in the Balkans. The entrance in the war of France followed as a natural sequence to her alliance with Russia and Great Britain joined, in after Germany’s invasion of Belgium. Italy was thus the only one of the six nations concerned in the two al liances which was not involved at the outset. Proclaiming her neutral ity, she utilized the opportunity to seek from Austria the territory to the north of her border which she has long desired. Failing to obtain full satisfaction of her demands she de nounced the Triple Alliance and joined the Allies. The Triple En tente was thus converted into the Quadruple Entente, as it is sometimes called now. Germany and Austria-Hungary were strengthened by the adhesion of Turkey to the Informal alliance with Germany which had sprung up in re cent years and in November Tjirkey entered the war. Montenegro took up arms with the Serbs, and Belgium, on being invaded, joined the Allies. Japan, Great Britain’s ally in the East, opened war on Germany, follow ing Berlin’s refusal to surrender Tsing-tau. There are thus eleven nations now at war, of which eight form what are known as the Allies. Historians are agreed that ‘the as sassination of the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Bos nia on June 28, 1914, while the im mediate cause of the war, was not the determining influence. Europe haft been on the edge of the precipice for a decade. Perhaps the chief under lying factor was the development of the national idea, demanding that political divisions should be made to correspond with the territory inhab ited by the various peoples of Eu rope;^ that each people, with common language and customs, should have .political independence and a "place in the sun.’’ The struggle to attain this end kept Europe in political tur moil. France aspired for Alsace and Lorraine, Italy for Triest and the Trentino, populated largely by Ital ians; Serbia for Bosnia, Rumania for Transylvania and Bessarabia. Aus tria-Hungary, within whose boundary is a complexity of races with varying claims and aspirations, was particu larly menaced by the. growth of this idea, and it was one phase of this agitation—Serbia’s desire for Bosnia— which .brought on the crisis. The same motive brought in Montenegro and Italy, and influenced Russia and France to go to war. The growth of the national idea was attended by the growth of mili tarism as a means of securingg these desires. The greatest standing armies in history were built up, compulsory military service became widespread, and enormous navies were construct ed. Out of it all, with the mutual sus pision engendered, grew the situation which kept Europe in fear of war. Armed to excess, the nations awaited the war which Anally came. WAR OPINION FROM RUSSIAN MINISTER Enemy "Strong and Cruel” but Will Fight Until Teutons Are Crushed by Allied Forces. Petrograd, July 31.—The following statement concerning the conclusion of the first year of the war was pre pared for The Associated Press by M. Pollvanoff, Russian Minister of War: "My opinion in a few words, after one year's duration of this war, un precedented in the world’s annals, is as follows: "The enemy is strong and cruel, and that is the very reason why Russia and her heroic allies must continue the war—should it last for several years—until the enemy is completely crushed.

Draws Lessor from Sea War as Carried on by Germans and Their Enemies—-Germany Trying to Weak en British Fleet Until Recognizes Chance for Success in General Attack Lands Subma-’ rines, Zeppelins and Aeroplanes The lessons drawn by Captain Persius from past events are summed up briefly as follows: “Superiority of technical material plays, as in earlier na val battles, an important role, perhaps to a greater extant now than before. Given crews practically equal in skill, the side which is inferior in artillery and speed is at so a disadvantage that victory is possible only under tionally favorable circumstances. “The submarine has proveditself a thoroughly dai weapon to which unsuspected possibilities must be con ed. All methods of defense hitherto employed have fi to fulfill their purpose in requisite manner. “Dirigibles and aeroplanes haVe not only demonstrated their value in scouting but also have been engaged effe tively upon the offensive. “The lessons learned even thus far will have a marked influence upon the construction of fleets, and I can under stand in the United States efforts are being made to take advantage of them.” Berlin, July 31.—Although the main German and British fleets have not been matched in battle, the ending of the first year of the war finds that Germany has distinguished herself at sea, says Captain L Persius in a na val review prepared for The Associat ed Press. Captain Persius, formerly an officer of the Germany navy, is a recognized authority on German naval affairs and is naval expert of the Berliner Tagerblatt. He states that Germany’s policy has been to attempt to weaken her chief opponent at sea by using* submarines and mines, to a point where there will be some pros pect of success of an attack on the main British fleet. His review fol lows: “Offensive Spirit.” “The German fleet may boast that the offensive .spirit it has displayed has constituted the most prominent and decisive feature of all the naval war theatres/ War was declared against Russia,.on Aug. 1, and on Aug. 2 the cruiser Augsbdrg bombarded the Russian war phrt of Libau. The dec laration of war against France was issued Aug. 3, and on the following day the cruiser' Goeben and Breslau shelled the troop embarkation points of Phillipeville and Bpna, on the North African coast, finally England de clared war on AtUtust 4, and on the 8 th the minelayer. Koenigin Luise planted mines at the mouth of the Thames, one of which destroyed Ihe cruiser Amphion. “We thus see that from the«very beginning German warships displayed a spirit of daring offensive.

(Bangor Commercial.) Hampden Highlands, Me., July 29.— Mr*. D. A. Twitchell has received the following letter written by her brother, Donald R. Blue, from King George Hos pital in London. He has been on the firing line in France and his letter con tains interesting sidelights on the war. ‘‘My dear sister,” he writes, "I suppose you think that I have forgotten you en tirely. Well, 1 don't blame you if you do. It will soon be a year now that I enlisted, Aug. 21. I have been in France and Belgium, back in France, and now here I am in England once more. “Arrived in Boulogne, France, stopped there one night and day, then left for l’opperinge, Belgium, a night’s ride by train, marched to Ypres where sorpe of the heaviest fighting is going on. I re mained there for some time, returning again to France where we had a rest before going into the trenches. Here our leases were quite heavy, the company that I am in alone losing about half and our four officers were killed. Neverthe less we took away from the Germans about 1000 yards of trenches. The next day they attacked us, regaining 200 yards of their trenches. The fighting was hot and heavy for a while. Seeing that they could gain no more, things quieted down for a little time, after which we again went at them with bullets and bayonet, taking the 200 yards tyith about 300 with it, also some prisoners. Again, they came on, this time being repulsed with heavy losses. They did no more attack ing while we were in this place. Killed Germans Himself. •*We came out of the trenches for an other well deserved rest. Papers came over to France from England with big headlines and a long stofy all about the battle. I know I got some of the Ger mans myself. The first time in the trenches I was nervous. But after a time it wore off. “It was while we were out for a rest that I reported sick to the doctor. I did not want to give in, but I got so bad I could hardly walk. H-e gave me some medicine, telling me to come back the next day, which I did. He sent me to a hospital, 10 miles away, where I stayed a week. I was then sent to another hos pital in Boulogne for another week and transferred here the 15th of June. “Some wealthy people who have autos offered to take can wounded soldiers for afternoon rides. Every afternoon, except Sunday, there is a line of autos waiting to take out those who are able to go. Two weeks ago the doctor, thinking it would do me good, told the nurse to get me ready. I went and had a fine time riding around the city. "The queen was out that afternoon In her carriage and four horses. It was a; fine turnout. There were men riding on 1 horseback in front and behind, and peo ple by the thousands along the street waving handkerchiefs at her. 1 got back after 6 and I made up for it that ntght, suffering night long with pain. Did not tell the doctor as I wanted to go again and see if it affected me the same way. When I went out the second time it was the same. Then I told the doctor so he said I could not go any more. Tea With Lady Hamilton. "On^ny second outing I had to stop at Lady Hamilton’s, Hyde Park Gardens, and have tea there. Had I beep a prince I could not have been better received. Her husband is Gen. Ian Hamilton in command of British forces in Turkey. When leaving she shook hands and said she would have me again another day. It is a handsome place and their mansion »s just simply elegant "I have been through the Bank ol England—and a wonderful sight It is; St. Paul’s, the second largest church In the world, that too, is a magnificent build* ing inside. London Bridge is another great engineering feat, and London Tower where the executions are done, I have also seen. "There is not a car to be seen in the streets. All electric trains are under ground. It is wonderful the amount of and the way these tubes are built. I al ways thought the Boston subway a big thing, but this is far ahead. Treated Well Everywhere. "I spent New Tear’s week in Liverpool; that is a fine city, too. I met some very nice people there, and nothing was too good for me. They sent me lota of things and said if 1 needed anything else just to let them know. Everywhere I have been treated fine. There is fruit, candy, tobacco and such like that come for me, from where I do not know. I had some keepsakes I wanted to take back with me, but when in the trenches my kit "bag was hit by a shell and blown to atoms, therefore I lost all I had. "Well, I think I have broken all reo ords writing this long letter, so will close hoping you are all well. With love to you all, your loving brother, Donald R. Blue.” EXPERIMENTS WITH JAPANESE SOY BEAN (Associated Press Correspondence) Berlin, July 12.—Protracted experi ments with the Japanese “soy" or “soja” bean, out of whicb, among other things. Worcestershire sauce is made, are being conducted with a view to determining whether this veg etable, which can be and is raised in Germany, cannot be lised in the many prison camps. A propaganda for and against' this variety of bean has been conducted for years by hygiene food experts and botanists. It is the contention o^ its sponsors that it can easily be used as a complement to Germany's other foods, and that from it can be made food that will appeal to the European taste. In the far East the soja bean al ready is in great demand, both for hu man and animal food products and; also for the oil it contains. Next to rice it forms one of the principal ar ticles of the food supply in some Eastern countries, especially when combined with cereals and salt. It al so plays an important part in sauces and spices. The milk from this bean approximates ordinary milk in nutri tive value, and cheese can be made from it. When combined with 30 or 40 per cent white flour, the meal of the so ja bean lends itself to a tasty and nourishing bread which has been found to be especially good for dia betics because of the high percent age of albumen and fat contained. The roasted soja beans also make a good substitute for coffee. The soja plant forms a good fodder for cattle. Exhaustive experiments with the so ja bean have already been made at the agriculture station of the Univer sity of Wisconsin, all tending to bear out, it is said, the contention of Ger man dieticians in favor of the bean. -i. —i These Are the first and only corn flakes that are “good to eat” without milk, cream or sugar.

Notice the little pearl-like “puffs” on each flake—a character istic that is distinctive also that when cream or milk is added they don’t mush down, but keep their body and appetizing crispness.

CITIZENSHIP NOT TO BE ALLOWED THOSE IN RANKS OF THE FIGHTING ARMIES IS RECENTLY STATED Washington, Aug. 1.—Announcement waa made by the department of labor that foreigners who sought to become American Citizens by taking out nat uralisation papers, but who have en tered the ranks of the armies of bel ligerents in the war in Europe, are now being denied American citizenship When their cates come up for final hearing. Aliens seeking naturalization, and this has been true for some years, must take am oath of allegiance to the United States and forswear their al legiance t\ any other power. Ameri cana who take an oath of allegiance to foreign States are regarded as having expatriated themselves, and the courts are taking the same attitude toward foreigners who apply for American cit itenshlp. then break their oath o fal legiance to the United States by serv ing In foreign armies. The announcement by the depart ment Of labor reads as follows: “With practical uniformity the courts exercising naturalization jurisdiction throughout the country are taking cog nisance of the absence from the United states of applicants for ettizrnship who have returned to their native countries fOf the purpose of taking part in the wars of the sovereigns of their birth place. When the petition of an alien who has responded to the ca'l of the sexereignty Of his birth comes up for final passing upon, the courts have held that absence In the army fighting under his native allegiance broke the continui ty of his residence in the United States ftj.d have denied the application "A decision recently handed down by the circuit court at Grafton, W. Va., covering this point, has just been re ported to the bureau of naturalization and IS along the line of the rulings of other Courts. It appears that hi thij case the applicant, who Is a Greek returned to his native land in Dec’tuotr, 0:112, and 1 remained there until March, u*14, during the greater part Ot the tirm serving in the Grecian army in the second Balkan war. “These facts are brought out in open CCurt at the hearing on his pe tition by the naturalization examiner. and the court held in denying the pe tition that the applicant had not re sided in the United States for five years continuously Immediately pre ceding the nilng of his petition, as required hy law, and also that the declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States, made on July 6, 1909, was completely vitiat ed by his act in returning to Greece, and performing military duty for that country. ‘Before entering upon duty in the Grecian army, it is understood a sol dier ia required to take the following oath: ‘I swear to bear true faith In the nation and the constitutional King of the Hellenes, obedience to the con stitutlon^ the laws and decrees of the state, submission to my superiors, to execute their orders faithfully and without contradiction, to defend the flag to the last drop of my blood with true faith and devotion, never to abandon nor to allow myself to be separated from the flag, to observe with exactitude the military laws and regulations, and to comport myself generally as a faithful and honorable soldier.’ This oath of allegiance is regarded by thf courts as further evidence of the fact that the intention of the applicant to become a citizen of tnie country and to reside permanently in the United States has become altered. While this petition was dented without prejudice, a new declaration Of intention must be taken out, and at a period of five years frcm the date of the return to the United States a new petition for naturalization must be filed before he can secure the coveted status of an American citizen. “When it is known that under the laws of this country any American citizen shall be deemed to have expatriated him self when he lias been naturalized In a foieign state In conformity with its laws, or when he has taken the oath of alle giance to any foreign state, the ruling r.f the courts seems reasonable that an alien has broken the oath made in the declaration of his intention to beconvj a citizen of the United States when he sub r.equently renews his allegiance to his native sovereign.” RUSSIA DETERMINED TO HUMBLE TEUTON ENEMIES-ALUES THANKEU AND NEUTRALS LAUDED IN DUMA tendon, Aug. 1.-01.05 P. M.).-A dis paeh t© RtutW* Telegram Co. from Pe trograd say* the Duma was opened to day by imperial ukase in the presence of a brilliant assemblage, including the cabinet ministers and the members of the diplomatic corps. Michael Vladimlrovitch Rodaianko, president of the chamber. In convening the Session said the more terrible the war became the more Russian was im bued by the firm and unshakable deter mination to bring is to a successful issue. “The war," saidM. Rodzlanko, "neces sifates complete unity of all classes and the development Of the productive re source* of the empire." Thanks Allies M. Roflxlanko asked the members of the chamber to make suggestions to the government as to how this could be ef fected. During his address he greeted the diplomatic representatives of the Triple Entente powers, who were cheered by the members of the chamber and by the public in the galleries. The demon stration reached its climax when, in the name of the entire people, Mr. Rodaianko thanked "our new ally, the brave Italian nation.” He then spoke of "our brave Relish brethren, who were the first to re ceive the blows of the abominable ene my." Must Supply Army “The army." said M. RodzianM In con eluding. "sets us a bralliant example on h6w to fulfill our duty to the cOuhtry. It is now our duty to work day and night to supply this army with everything Which it needs, but to do that it Is neces sary to make many changes. We will fight until the complete ruin of the en emy is accomplished.’* Sergius Sazonoff, the foreign minis ter, after reiterating that all the evi dence showed that neither Russia nor her allies were responsible for the war, gave a resume of the parliamentary situation. 6. Sazonoff referred amid cheering to the-participation of Italy in the war. Appeal to Neutrals "These people.” he said, "long have Wished to free their fellow countrymen from the foreign yoke. If the example of Italy had been follewed by the other states it would have cele brated the speedy conclusion of the War. Nevertheless the time for su preme directions have not passed, and it is to be hoped that advantage will be taken of the time which still re mains by those neutrals who cannot otherwise find a solution for their na tional problems. Sweden's Position "Recently there has been much talk of the state of mind of Sweden. Our sincere desire to maintain with her the best of neighborly relations is too well known to need any confirmation from me. “At the same time we are aware of the inevitable embarrassments caused tb Swedish commerce through that gauntry being situated in the midst of the belligerents. I content myself With placing on record the corectness with which the Swedish government maintains its neutrality while safe guarding its national interests. "The Anglo-Swedish negotiations Which are proceeding at Stockholm, While they are confined to business matters, have given proof of the un doubted desire of both sides to find a basis for agreement, and we sincerely hope a successful conclusion will soon bO reached.” M. Goremykin, the premier, after •Peaking of the enormous sacriflecs entailed by the war, said, "The gov ernment being firmly resolved to make all these sacrifices has sent for you to explain the real state of things and consult you regarding the moans for sujclently prepared, in comparison with the enemy. In order to overcome him the whole development of our na tional forces is requisite. Question of Poland "This is not the time to set forth the program for the amelioration of the international life of Russia in time of peace, which will be realized with your assistance but I should like to touch upon one question, that of Po land, which cannot evidently be real ized in full until after the war. "In these days the Polish people should know that their organization was definitely and irrevocably decided upon by the manifesto of the gTand duke, the commander-in-chief of the army, at the outbreak of the war. The Polish people, chivalrous, noble and faithful, deserve unlimited sym pathy and respect. The Emperor has charged me to declare to you that His Majesty'has ordered the cabinet to elaborate bills granting Poland, after the war, the right to organize freely its national, social and economic life on a basis of autonomy under the sceptre of the Emperor of Russia. •■Together with the Poles, the other na tionalities of our great and immense Rus sia have exhibited friendliness to the mother country. Accordingly our home policy should be permeated by the prin ciple of impartial and benevolence for all faithful Russian citizens, without re gard to distinction of nationality, creed or tongle.” The war minister, M. Polivanoff, said: “At this moment the enemy is concen trating enormous forces against Russia and is successfully enveloping the terri tory and military districts of Warsaw, the strategic contour of which has al ways been the weak point of our western frontier. “Under the circumstances we shall per haps yield to the enemy a portion of this region, falling back on positions where our army will prepare for a resumption of the offensive. “All's well that ends well; 1812 was proof of that. We shall today perhaps give up Warsaw, as then we gave up Moscow, in order to insure a final vic tory." PLATE REMOVED FROM DECKER’S COFFIN BY POLICE New York, Aug. 2.—The police, it was announced tonight, had removed from the coffin of Charles Becker the silver plate placed there by his widow on which was inscribed the charge that the former police lieutenant, electrocu ted at Sing Sing on Friday, was "mur dered by Governor Whitman," after a police conference attended by rep resentatives of the district attorney’s office, inspector Joseph Faurot, the an nouncement said, went to the Becker home and informed Mrs. Becker that the inscription was a commercial li bel on the Governor and prevailed up on her to permit its removal. At the rectory of the church at which the funeral services for Becker will be held tomorrow, it was stated tonight that the coffin would not be received unless the plate in its present form was removed. SIDNEY Mr. and Mrs. Lee E. Ellis of N. T., Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Melrose, Mass., and Mrs. REDFIELD DECLARES HE HAS BEEN MISTREATED ANDMISJUDGED BY THE NEWSPAPERS OF CHICAGO Chicago, Aug. 1.—With one week elapsed since the steamer Eastland sank at its wharf with 2500 excursion ists on board, investigation to deter mine blame for the accident Saturday night simmered down to a federal grand jury inquiry, although a county grand jury continued to hear testi mony and Secretary Redfield of the department of commerce went ahead with the steamboat inspection exam ination required by law. Judge Landis Acta Federal Judge Laadls forbade the ex amination by others of witnesses de sired for the federal grand jury and had taken possession of the ship and all documentary evidence. One body was recovered from the Eastland Saturday, making the total known dead 836. While 158 are still reported missing by the Western Elec tric Co., giving a possible total dead of 994, the missing list has rapidly dwindled. Secretary Redfield, stirred by criticism of his inquiry by local public officials, declared he would make a thorough in vestigation of the entire United States steamboat inspection service if proper charges against individual inspectors of the department are filed. The secretary said both he and the fed eral officials whose duty it was to "give a square deal to all” had been preju diced and ‘‘hot given a chance by Chica go officials and others.” i The statement made by the secretary i followed a demand by Lieut. Gov. Bar reft O'Hara, actiyg governor of Illinois, that th* federal Inquiry be Widened "t6 cover every activity of the united state* steamboat service during the laet IS years. Allen L. Thurman, eolicitor of the de partment of commerce, replied to the acting governor’s request in a heated speech In which he said: "it cannot be done; it is impossible— this request of the lieutenant governor. The statute does not allow It." Redfield's Protest Secretary ftedfield made a statement in which he Said: "I have been mistreated and mis judged by the Chicago press and by Chicago citizens. The men whom I am trying to give a square deal in con nection with this inquiry have not been given a chance. Men who are not familiar with the facts have Con demned me and the inquiry I am mak ing, almost before that inquiry had been begun. “1 have been prejudiced by men who are hostile to me. Mr. Thurman, the solicitor for jtty department, a man whose judgment in legal matters I am bound to follow, hafe told me that to widen this investigation as Mr. O'Hara asks, would be beyond my power. If I were to conduct such an investiga tion in the manner he asks, I would be obliged to foot the bill from my own i pockets. I have already stretched the law to the breaking point in this in quiry by sending to Washington for expert witnesses in an effort to bring out the truth, and the whole of it. I cannot go further in that direction.” SIX CRUISER DtSTnllicRS HAVc PLANS APPROVED-DESIGNED ON INFORMATION FROM EUROPE WAR Washington, Aug. 1.—Plans for six big cruiser destroyers, authorized by the last Congress, have been approved.

Inman, the missing cashier of the United Fruit Co., will be started Mon day by the Suffolk grand jury as the result of a conference Saturday be tween attorneys for the fruit com pany and Asst. Dist.

Which he said he had sent to the Governor at the executive mansion IB Albany: fWortd_ tit a dispatch from Albany tying: “To BScker*s denial of grafting the governor said Martin T. Manton had given him a statement con taining the names of five men, two dead and three living, who were implicated in the grafting." Did you make thle statement or author ize it? Answer prepaid. Then Mr. Manton went to his private office and began work on a statement which he said he would release for pub lication as soon as he got the reply to his telegram. "Of course," he explained, "if the gov ernor says he never made the statement, then no word will be necessary from me. But if he acknowledges it, then I shall have something to say." “Irrespective of any differenfces be tween you and the Governor," Mr. Manton was asked, “can’t you say whether you were ready to turn over any such names or not?” "Wait for the statement," was the reply.

As Augusta dropped a game to Winthrop. tlys makes it a little more interesting in th? race. Augusta had a decidedly off day Sat urday. It was no fault of Harvey's however, that they lost. About every player on the team put up a punk” game behind him. It was the worst ex hibition by the Augusta team of the sea son. Charlie Towle had another importation for a pitcher Saturday and, like his slab artist of Wednesday, was a southpaw, by the name of Bates from Massachu setts. He did fairly good work. Pie Way, the Tale pitcher who is un der contract to John McGraw of the New York Nationals, will pitch for Win throp next week, perhaps the tie game with Augusta. Russell Smith, one of the favorites of last year's Augusta team, will be in the city this week. He will spend his vaca tion in Augusta a greater part of the time. “Russ" loves the game and cer tainly can play it as well. He was the leading batsman in the league last sea sen, hit batting average being more than .400. From now on the race in the league will grow warmer and as the teams are so evenly matched this season, the team getting the breaks will be the winner. Every team thinks that the other team gets all the breaks and the close decisions by the umpire. The poor ump' certainly has a hard task before him to please the players, the crowd and the management. It’s all right with him with the winning I players, cr6w and management I blame him for their poor playing mistakes. Cut it out and ha ean*? a better Job.

—“The Deacon’s One-Hoss Shay” THE best Pneumatic Tire is only as strong as its weakest part. Strengthening its strongest parts is as useless as putting a fifth Wheel on a Wagon. Yet this is often done to provide “Selling-feature and ‘‘Talking Point.” The weakest part of every Pneumatic Tire is its Walls or Sides, not its Tread,—its Cotton Fabric or “Stocking,” not its Rubber “Sole.” No price would be too high to pay for a material that, re placing Cotton in the Walls of ’neumatic Tires, would last as ong as the Goodrich Rubber Tread could be made to wear. Neither Silk, nor Linen, npr any other known Fabric yet dis covered is so good, for this purpose, as Cotton,—and choice long-fibred Cotton is the best material that money can buy for Tire Fabric. o o WE use nothing less in Goodrich Tires, and test every foot of it up to 380 lbs. to the Square Inch, before we percolate it with the most adhesive Rubber Compound ever made for this purpose. We then shape this rubber ized Fabric into Tires, with scrupulous care to have the tension on each square inch of fabric precisely the same,—that tension being controlled by a machine as sensitive as the eye, and infinitely more precise than the handwork of the most skilled Operative could make it. I To do this work we have the most highly-trained men in the Rubber Industry,—trained in the Precision that practice and our 45-year EXPERIENCE make perfect. o o o But, notwithstanding all this,—the FABRIC is the part of the Tire which goes first. Because the sides of the Tire do most of the work in running, —bending and stretching a mil lion times an hour, in scores of different directions. This bending of the sides causes Friction between the layers of Canvas working against each other,—Friction causes Heat— the Heat over-cures and dries out the Rubber Adhesive between layers, which then separate from each other, in spots, the threads weakening or wearing out chafing against each other. Then you have, in due time, the incipient blow-out, or other form of Tire-Death. o o o PUT more layers of Fab ric than we do in the walls, to strengthen them, and the friction increases, with faster deterioration of the Rubber through the greater heat engendered. Put fewer layers, and the walls would not be strong enough to carry the load of the Car. So there you are—Mr. Tire User! Why put MORE layers of Fabric in the Walls of the Tire than will properly carry the load, when each additional layer is an additional developer of that FRICTION-HEAT which is to Tires what Oid Age is to Man? o o o rllAT is the reason we build, in the Good rich Tire, a carefully BALANCED Tire, emulating the famous example of “The Deacon’s One-Hoss Shay” in which “the -___ k A k

NO Tire Manufacturer, if he received a price of $200 per Tire, could put better Fabric into the Walls of his Tires, use greater care, more sensitively adjusted Tension devices, or more adhe sive Rubber between each layer of fabric. Because, we know the vital importance of THE BEST in this part of the Tire, and use it there unsparingly. Only 5% Plus for this Best Non-Skid Tire Note following comparative price*.

Rendered frantic by inability to get morphine since the new Federal drug law went into effect so it Is believed, a drug crazed man broke into the Cochran pharmacy at Houlton Thurs day night.

Cummings of the George town Feldspar Co. is about discour aged with the long continued spell of rainy weather as it is greatly inter ferring with the shipment of feldspar from the quarries in Cathance. For the past month there has not been a load of spar hauled from the quarry to the train, on account of the condi tion of the roads, it being impossible for heavy teams to. go over the road. A large quantity of spar has accumu lated at the quarry. Arthur Shorey of Bath who has been enjoying a vacation at home of several months, received a telegram Wednes day asking him to report to the Inter national Banking Corporation’s office at Panama as soon as possible to re lieve a man who is sick. Arthur was at Bridgton on a visit when the tele gram was received, but he hurried home on the midnight train. He left Bath Thursday night on the New York express and sailed for Colon on Sat urday. He probably will be gone about a year. He was formerly at Hong Kong, then Manila from whence he came home last winter. Mrs. Mabel B. Southard, who, w'ith her daughter, Miss Frances Southard of Bath, is passing the summer in Spokane, Wash., writes home that Mrs. Southard’s cousin’s father, Joseph' B. P. Day, was a resident of Bath 56 years ago and still retains interest in the old city. The Bath lady was interested in the big wheat fields of the West and says that the harvesting with the great harvesting machines seems more like play than work. Mrs. Southard and Frances soon start on a long ride into Montana to see a real western ranch. They have been in the Castle Mountains around Lake Chelan. The many friends of Captain Fierce H. Lewis will be interested to hear that he has been elected harbor master of Portland by the board of harbor commissioners. Capt. Lewis is a man in the prime of life, holding first class papers as a master and pilot, and is exceptionally well qualified to perform the duties of the position to which he has been elected. He was for years a pilot and later master of steamers sailing in and out of Portland and as such knows the troubles that steam ship men are liable to by reason of the carelessness or ignorance of skippers of coasters and other vessels that drop their anchors when it pleases them, regardless of the rights of others. This choice settles what promised to be a serious fight, as about every man who has any connection with the har bor in any way, was a candidate, or at least was willing to take the job if it was offered him. uir.v a. nsn inarnei iooKcu me Dag gage room at the M.

Wednes day afternon, just previous, to the departure of the four o’clock for Bos ton, when, in rolling out a barrel filled with live eels, left there for shipment to New York City, the bot tom of the barrel tumbled out and the mass of squirming eels went floundering over the baggage room floor, tells the Bath Times. All hands went fishing while the train waited for results. Half of the eels were gathered into the remains of the bar rel when the tiine was up and the con ductor allowed he must leave with his train. The half barrel was carefully placed on the baggage car and sent on its way to Gotham where they eat eels, sturgeon and horse mackerel. Then the railroad people telephoned for a purchaser of the rest of the squirming lot, but no purchaser in Bath was discovered. The half bar rel left over were packed and sent to Boston on the next train, so that the eels will not prove, after all, a total loss. Extensive construction work is now being carried on at the Bates Manu facturing Co. at Lewiston, where the H. P. Cummings Construction Co. of Ware, Mass., is erecting several build ings. Among these are a filtration plant, bleachery, and drug storehouse. When th^se are completed a new bridge over the cross canal will be in stalled. A roof for the shipping plat form of the new weave shed was re cently completed. Milo Wing of Mexico suffered a painful accident Monday evening. After supper he started out to get the cows, and thinking that perhaps he might have the good luck to see a woodchuck, he took his gun with him. As he got to the field, where the cows were pastured, he noticed that one of the animals had strayed away from the rest, and in hurrying across the field in search of it. he stumbled and fell, the gun hitting the ground, exploding, and taking oft the little finger of his right hand.

The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi ence with an organism unfitted for "the trial of strength, and whea it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered j nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E.

These are war measures, ..made necessary because of the de vastating effect of alcoholic drinks On ths efficiency of the man who fights .or of the man who makes munitions of war. A That is the verdict against John Barleycorn by the countries at war. Not less impressive is the action taken by Dr. S. S. Goldwater, Com misflioner of Health of New York City, '.who announces that for the first time In the history of a health department his department will begin an active crusade against drink. This is to be a real fight waged not alone against the t sale of liquor in the slums, but against the rich man’s drink. The Commis sioner believes that brandy and champagne do as much harm as heer anjl “third rail whiskey.” Dr. Gold v water does not lack courage, he is a fearless man who boldly attacks that hydra-headed monster, that demon, drink. He will find, as Lloyd George has found, “that every government i that has ever touched alcohol has burned Its fingers in the lurid flame.’’ Anyone who knows Dr. Goldwater, however, will know that this will not deter him from doing what he believes is his duty toward the citizens of New York. He says it is the biggest job a Health Department could under take. “I mean business; the time has come when something must be done, for a diminution in the consumption of alcohol by the community would mean less tu berculosis, less poverty, less dependency, less pressure on our hospitals, asylums and jails. Intemperate drinking cuts into the support of the family. The drinking of parents lessens the vitality of chil .'dren. Drinking mothers lose twice as many babies as do sober mothers, i-, ‘‘More alcoholism is found in the par ents of feeble-minded children than In f" the parents of normal children. The w children of drinkers develop more slowly Vend do poorer school work than do the -children of abstainers. Alcohol impairs '.the tone of muscles and the product of laborers; it depreciates the skill and en durance of artisans; It impairs memory, multiplies industrial accidents, causes chronic diseases of the heart, liver, stom ach and kidneys; increases the death r rate from pneumonia, lessens natural Immunity to Infectious diseases. f “These are matters of scientific fact, and it is the duty of the Department of Health to lay these facts before the ..people.’’ ui. uoiunaier nus sem a manua tory letter to the Advisory Council of the Health Department, of which Dr. Haven Emerson Is tlife chairman, call Ing for the immediate organisation of 'a special committee to put into force •the campaign against what he plainly calls "booze.” The fight is to include the "bracer,” which he objects to be cause for the moment it does away with the fatigue which is a warning to ‘the body that rest and recreation are necessary to health. Dr. Goldwater’s campaign is to be carried on by a campaign of publicity against alcohol which shall utilize all modern methods of reaching the public by means of moving pictures, illustrated lectures, posters, pamphlets and exhibits in different sections of the city. "Get on the Water Wagon” is to be the slogan. It is time that something was done to Checks the amount of money spent on drink in this coifhtry. Statistics, Show that the total drink bill fts- the five years between 1*10-1914. five years, amounted to $9,858,216,064, or a per capita expenditure annually of $100 for three years by each family of five as against a per capita con sumption of coffee for the same time of 9.38 pounds. Tet the demand for drink has dropped off somewhat, as is shown in a recent issue of Collier’s Weekly, in a paragraph entitled "The Slump in Boose:" According to the Wall Street Journal of New Tork City: Production of whiskey in Kentucky in January was 1.M0.000 gallons, against 6,103,453 gallons in Janu ary, 1*14; production in Pennsylvania was 1, 078,808 gallons in January, against 1, 853,446 a year ago, and in Maryland 696, II* gallons, against 918,583 last year. Whiskey bottled in bond In January was 191.108 gallons, compared with *28,187 in January. 1914. The decrease in Kentucky's production Of whiskey amounts to 66 2-8 per cent.; in Pennsylvania it is about 38 per cent; in Maryland more than 40 per cent. These figures (and others, for February, March and Other months, more recently avail able) indicate that the distillers, who can look ahead like anyone else, see that Within a few years the commercial de mand for whiskey will fall off at unpre cedented speed. The distillers are buy ing newspaper space In more than one city"- to argue that prohibition doesn't prohibit—that more liquor than ever la being drunk In this country but this Is a bluff. They are meanwhile curtailing production and quietly discounting their own funeral. Better times are ahead for these United States. This is the verdict of a country not at war. What is yours? ;1 The second term plank in Haiti la a slab. Peace prospects are bright, the war most end sometime and at least aatione are looking for a good Place Not a Patent Cur*. The following five^minute experi ence lesson by a Gardiner friend of the Journal might, with profit, be elaborated by pastors and editors. The truth and the logic are there in epi gram. Read It: Editor Kennebec Journal: Dear Sir: t have been a reader of your paper a good while. I con sider It as much a part of the equipment of a respectable house hold as the picture of Washington crossing the Delaware. It is a token of prosperity. If you see the Kennebec Journal sticking out of a mail box and you are an agent with anything to sell that ii worth while, It Is sate to call. It it is some fake, keep away for they are posted. What I started to say waa that it rained today and I atald at home and sawed wood. It is a lost art. Very few people realise the efficacy of sawing wood. If everything is going bad, saw wood; And you are feeling pretty mad. saw wood— Saw a little, day and night; Things will always come out right—saw wood. If you think of going to law, saw wood. If your neighbor used you raw, saw wood. Saw a little every day; things wUI surely come your way— You'll have no lawyer’s bills to pay—saw wood. How many men I have seen laid away forever, when a half hour seance in the woodshed with a buck saw daily would have pro longed their lives ten years. Tak ing a spoonful of sarsaparilla j won't do any good to a man with three inches of leaf lard on Ills ribs. If a man in the abundance of youth and manly vigor would seek some lady fair to bask In her sunny smiles, let him repair to the woodshed. That night while bathing his back he wltt forget all about It. There is more virtue in ten cords of wood than the aver age man can absorb by reading It chapter of the Bible. A lasy man will make a poor angel. He would not move his wings enough to dry his body; he would mlddew under the arme. No one died of shock when I was a boy. People wonder why so many die nowadays with shocks. It Is the wood machine#. I am not trying to promote the sale of wood saws. This is the experience or a well and happy man. Yours respectfully.

Maine Gossip Our Departed Onea. (By Annie Foss Fish-Read at Somerset Academy Alumni Reunion.] Our departed ones come With the thoughts of the past I can see them, these loved ones, I can feel their hand clasp. They are with ua in memory. Which they come to renew, For each has a part In this school review. j Some left us in youth When life was most fair. Before earthly sorrow Had touched them with care. Some left ua when hope And ambition held sway. And our clear sky was clouded For many a day. But age brings us wisdom, And we’ve learned every one That back of the clouds Is God's glorious sun. And we understand too That the swift rolling years Bring each of us laughter And each of us tears. For thus it is ever And forever will be, 'Til we are reunited Across God's boundless sea. With Him in that home Beyond life’s setting sun. May we all answer the roll-call And hear God's "well done." Sheriff Oliver was handed Wednesday a slip of paper on which was printed a verse in imitation of "Tipperary,” which the donor had found in the wrappings of a bottle of whiskey purchased in Lewiston, relates the Bath Times. The Sheriff passed it over to the Scribe as an example of the merriment the Lewiston Liquor Sellers are having at the expense of the good name of that city and as an example of the effrontery of Lewiston whiskey dealers during the present ad ministration of the laws of the State of Maine. The words on the slip are as under:— It's a long way to Prohibition It’s the wrong way to go. It's a sure way to bring perdition. To the greatest State I know. Let's all' stick together, Let this be our cry "It's a long, long way to Prohibition And we’ll not go dry.” Pea vines eight feet high! Impossible! Oh, no, not at all—there is no limit to vegetation in Aroostook, you know, says the Aroostook Pioneer of Caribou. Geo. W. Wright, who lives with his son, G. A. Wright, has been doing a little garden ing thts season, and has telephone peas the vines of which when stretched to j their full height measure seven and eight feet tall. And the pods contain eight, nine and 10 peas. Mr. Wright had his photograph taken while standing among the vines and in several places they j tower above his head. About 800 people from different parts of Lubec attended the joint picnic held at the Life Saving station at South Lubec, Wednesday, July 23. in which the congregations of the several churches took part and which proved one of the largest and most enjoyable outdoor affairs of the season. Various athletic events took place and the din ner was thoroughly enjoyed by the large number present. The view from the station is one of the finest along the coast. Howard Cunningham, driver of the Round POnd mail tells the Damaris cotta Herald man that he met Na thaniel Jeremiah Hanna recently and seemed to be to Mr. Hanna an ob ject of suspicion. He was crowded into the ditch and Mr. Hanna showed a disposition to search the car. Mr. Cunningham, however, drew the line at submitting a mail carrier to be searched by a lobster warden and Mr. Hanna prudently gave it up. Some weeks ago it was reported that Warren Weeks had seen a brown trout sunning himself on the surface of Biscay pond, relates the Damaris cotta Herald. Mr. Weeks hasn't told us about it and we have an idea that it has gained some since the event. As told us, the fish was four feet long, had a fln sticking above the Water six inches and weighed fifty pounds at least. When it took fright, with a flirt of the tall it nearly swamped the skiff. Some part of this story is truth but we wont under take to separate the truth from the Action. But this we can swear to, Henry Berry captured a landlocked salmon weighing two and a half pounds out there last Saturday. At least we saw the flsh. It will be some time before the rec ord of James Barto, Eugene Kneeland and Harry Oak as high line fisher men is beaten, asserts the Star Her ald, Presque Isle. Saturday on the Presque Isle Stream this party caught 18 trout weighing 17 lbs. and capped the climax by hooking and landing with an ordinary bait tackle a mons ter square-tail trout, which tipped the scales at 6% pounds. It was James Barto’s bait which attracted the big fellow and it was Jimmie's coolness, good management and persistence, Which, after a half hour’s tussle, got him near enough to the canoe and the Surface of the water to enable Mr. Kneeland, in the absence of a landing net, to get a strangle hold on the giant trout’s neck and gills and bring him into the canoe, where his mighty flops and somersaults came near cap stsing the craft. Monday noon the numerous boarder guests at the Barto home had the big fellow stuffed and baked for dinner, along with half a dosen or so of the lesser lights weighing from half a pound to a pound. Rev. W. Henry McLean, pastor of the Congress street Methodist church, Portland, has compiled a new mar riage ceremony said to be an im provement on old ones. He has changed "With all my worldly goods I thee endow,” to “all I have with you I Share.’* The ceremony omits the word "obey.” It is only seven min utes long and bids to be popular. An 8H-Pound salmon, one of the target and handsomest flsh ever was all the fishermen are explaining con- fldentially that this was the same fish that they had hooked and lost, says the Camden Herald. Editor’s Letter Box Back to the Farm. Editor Kennebec Journal: It has been noted by the general public there has been in the State, of Maine an advancement in thought as to agriculture, through the influence of educational methods by the United States. The State educational institutions which have shown the public the value of their lands,—while in every city, town and community, organizations have been working to Impress the people that new methods in farming will make real estate of more value each year, this co-operation will in due time increase the value and will bring a larger number to the agri cultural pursuit, as a quick and safe way to make money, also a safe in vestment. My experience has taught me and every one knows this is a world of changes, consequently one person is attracted by a tempting offer to go into another line of business. So he concludes to sell his farm at a dis count. Again another family lose their head and have no one to look after the farm; then the property is placed on the market at a low valua tion. Again another head of a house has reached years in which he is in capable of successfully conducting his affairs, then the farm is placed on the market. And so on year in and year out. But the tendency is all the time for an increase in real estate in the State of Maine. There will be a boom and when it comes the land will be of more value for the improve ments. This change will come and when it comes the present buyer will be the wise investor. This is the time to invest in real estate at a low valuation. There will be no aban doned farms then. E. L.

Teacher—"What is the meaning of un aware?” Pupil—"Unaware is what you take off Editorial Comment Severe, But Warranted. (Boston Post.) The report of the committee of in quiry on the charges that a number of Annapolis students stole examination papers in order to "crib'’ their way through the institution has been re ceived at Washington. It is Under stood that it recommends the expul sion of the seven original defendants and others subsequently implicated. That recommendation ought to be sustained. To separate a young man from his Intended career as a naval officer of the United States is severe, no doubt, but the offenders should have thought of that chance and not taken it. It is a fraud upon the people of the coun try who support the academy, to cheat one’s way to a commission, and it is particularly flagrant in the case of those who proposed to enter that somewhat select circle in which "the honor of an officer and a gentleman" is usually held rather high. No More Booxe “Tick." (Portland Express.) The prohibitory question in Eng land has had a new feature added in the ban on treating and selling liquor on credit. While this is a round about method of getting at results it is probably the most effective way that could be taken by a country where the use of intoxicants is all too prevalent. German Submarines Netted. The Scientific American, on infor mation from sources that it believes to be reliable, holds that the losses of German submarines have been very large since the commencement of the war and also understands that the process of netting them with steel con trivances has met with success. It holds that the British Admiralty has withheld information to the public concerning these German losses for the reason that it does not wish the watchfulness and care of the British sea captains to be relaxed in the slightest degree. Dutch Courage Neutral. (Boston Transcript.) France, in addition to prohibiting the sale of absinthe, is to authorize local au thorities to stop the sale of all alcohol at their discretion during the war and en courage the substitution of beer and grape juice. Thus the belligerents and neutrals now are in the following defen sive attitudes toward rum: Turkey—t,'se of alcohol discouraged by Mohammedanism, sweets being preferred. Austria-Hungary—Restrictions of sale of liquors to period between 9 A. M. and 5 P. M., with complete closing on Sun days and holidays. Germany—Local authorities empowered to prohibit or restrict the sale of spirits. Production of spirits restricted; produc tion of beer reduced to save grain. France—N'o absinthe; cognac and fer mented wines may be locally prohibited. Britain—Restrictions on drink for muni tions workers; army and navy follow an cient custom in use of rum and bitter; beer. Canada—Under new legislation author izing a plebiscite, Alberta declared for the proposed act forbidding sale of liquor in the province. ‘•Italy—No new restrictions. Russia—Sale of spirits and vodka pro hibited until the end of the war. Local authorities given power—which has been largely exercised—to petition for total prohibition in their areas. Switzerland—Sale of spirits suspended for an indefinite period. Denmark—No intoxicants to soldiers in certain police districts. Sweden—Government and Provincial Boards just authorized to impose restric tions on alcohol "in times of stress and war.” Serbia, Bulgaria, Roumania. Greece, Holland, Montenegro, Spain, Portugal— No new restrictions. United States—Dry in spots; liquor in navy prohibited. In some of these countries the loss in revenue and its purchasing power in mu nitions had to be considered in relation to the loss in efficiency for using muni tions, and German, Italian and British armies are the only ones in Europe which decided not to omit alcohol from rations. Not until the ordeal of battle reaches its decision will teetotalers be able to draw deductions—and then a Scotch verdict seems the likeliest. Coming Events Aug. 4.—Eaton and Norridgewock Hlg!

Trolley League Standing Won. Lost. Cent. Augusta .S Hallowell .7 7 50' Gardiner .6 S G2) Winthrop .5 7 .417 Winthrop, Me., Aug. 1.—(Special).— Winthrop had no difficulty Saturday in downing the Trolley League leaders by the one-sided score of 10 to 2. The home team outplayed the visitors in every de partment of the game. The Augusta team lielded miserably behind Harvey, who was hit hard in only one inning, the eighth, after the game was already lost Winthrop presented a new pitcher— Bates of Dorchester, Mass.—and the young twirler certainly delivered .ne goods. He has terrific speed and fast breaking curves that proved the undoing of the Senators, who were unable to score or in fact to hit, until the eigh h inning, when he let up a bit and four singles in succession netted the visitors two runs. Bates was not at all disturb ed by this incident, as his team was al ready five runs in the lead and playing and hitting consistently. There were no spectacular plays in Saturday's game, but the good fielding of the whole Win throp team and the p >or fielding of their opponents might be said to be the feat ures. Wilson's record was four hits, three stolen bases and two runs. Winthrop scored her first runs in the third inning. Boll struck out, but Bates hit safely and Gale, who folio* e.l him. reached first on Gilman's fumble. Cobb drove out a hit that scored Ba'cs Cobb was forced at Second on it ilson s infield grounder. Gale scoring on the play. Wil son stole second and took third on Ab bott's wild throw. Maxwell died to left. Score: Winthrop 2. Ir. the fifth the home team added three more, errors by Gilman, Coady, Yiolelte. Newbert and Taber combining with Wil son's safety and Gale s sacrifice to bring in Bates, Cobb and Wilson. Score: Win throp 5. There was nothing more until the eighth. Coady opened the inning by striking out. Abbott hit safely and Gil man did likewise. Yiolette sent one past Wilson and Abbott scored. Harvey sin gled to right and Williams made a per fect throw to the pla;o u.tl Bell hid Gilman, but the umpire thought differ ently and Gilman was declared sore with Augusta's last score. St'riscn stiucl; out for the fourth time in succession and Tal er hit to Bates. Score: Winthrop 5. Augusta 2. Williams led off with a iwo-bagger In Winthrop's half and reached first when Yiolette's error let French safe at lirst. Bell singled and Williams scored. Bates also hit safely, scoring French and Bell. Bates was caught stealing. Gale se-it a single to right and Wilson rlso bit to right and went all the round before the ball was located in the grass. Max well was the third out who a fly to Xew bert. This ended the scoring, as Augus ta could do nothing in the ninth. There was the largest crowd of 'he sea son present, the two tie games recently played by the teams having aroused much enthusiasm. The loose playing of the visitors and the one-sided score male the game less interesting than the f’ns anticipated, but the next game between the two teams will be watched with no less interest. The Augusta team will doubtless brace up after the big defeat of Saturday. If they don't they will n-it long remain leaders In the Trolley League.

BROKEN RECORDS EXPECT ED AT ’FRISCO--YACHTING NOTTS -OTHER BIG EVENTS New York, August 1.—-Given a fast. track and fair weather at San Francisco J during the week-end, the athletea com- j peting in the Amateur Athletic Union i championships should lower several A. 1 A. U. records with the added possibility j of wiping out American or even world’s j figures. Not in some years has a field I of contestants, equalling in all-round j ability that scheduled for the Exposition games, competed outside an Oylmplc j meet. The standard of performance that may be reasonably expected at San Francisco, under proper conditions, has bean shown in the various tryout games i held during the past month. Taking the Eastern and Western trials; j the Central A. A. U. championships and* the races against time at Boston on July 17, It will be seen that if the ath- i letes perform up to the standard dis-j played in these various meets, new rec-' ords may be expected in the following I events at the Amateur Athletic Union title games on Friday and Saturday of this week: MO yards; dash, $90 yards j run; one mile run; five mile run: MO yard hurdles; running broad jump; run- j ning high jump; javelin tiirow and dis-! cus throw. The records made by Norman Taber in the mile; Meanix In the MO yards hurdles; Meredith and Diamond in the MO yards dash; Simpson in the shorter! hurdle races; Butler, Worthington and Ahearn in the broad jump; Kolehmainen 1 at five miles; Crter, Richards and Loomis in the high jump and Bronder in the i Javelin throw would appear to indicate that these athletes should have little trouble in establishing new A. A. U. times or distance* to say nothing of Drew, Kelly and a number of other Pa cific Coast track and field Btars who have been training for these games with out going under the watch or tape in pub lic contests during the past two months. While the athletes are competing on the Pacific Coast the yachtsmen of the j Atlantic states will be participating in one of the biggest aquatic events of the year, the annual cruise of the New York Yacht Club. This season the fleet will gather at New London, proceed as far j east as Gloucester and returning to Mar- blehead disband after a cruise of some 10 days. One of the most interesting fea tures of the cruise wili be the passage of the fleet through the Cape Cod canal. In former years the yachts have frequently encountered boisterous conditions off Cape Cod and in 1910 they were so badiy scattered by a northeaster, that it was j several days before the fleet was reunited 1 at Portland. Comodore George F. Ba ker, Jr., who is in command of the fleet for the first time this year, will lead the squadron through the canal on August 6 with his flag on his flagship Viking. It i6 expected that the greater part of the day will be necessary to tow the yachts to an anchorage for the night In Pro vincetown, 10 miles north of the entrance. The fleet will rendervous at New Lon don tomorrow afternoon, leaving tomor row for Newport, where the annual race for the Astpr cups will be held on Wednesday. This race is one of the old est In the annals of the club, being In stituted in 1SS3 by Ogden Goelet and con tinued after his death in 199$ by the late Col. John Jacob Astor. The fleet will run up into the Buzzard's Bay on Thurs day starting early the next morning for Provincetown. Three racing runs, will be held In Massachusetts Bay, from Provincetown to Marblehead on August 7, from Marble head to Gloucester on August 9, and from Gloucester to Marblehead on Au gust 10. The annual race for the King’s Cup. an event begun in 1906 and usuallv salled off Newport, will be held this year off Marblehead Neck. It Is one of the few yachting races open to the large boats of any organized yacht club, 'Vjth sloops and Bchooners and sailing in pne class. Owing to the war the race was not sailed last year. Story from Connie Mack's camp ha* Nap Lajoie spending his spare time coaching a recruit to take his place at second base for the Athletics, In view of Lajoie sterling work with bat and glove this season, the new comer must be a wonder if he is going to replace Nap In the near future. Cornell football players and substitutes i are reasonably sure of opening the sea son in new uniforms this autumn due to a recent fire that wiped out the Ithaca university gridiron supplies. Sponta- j neous combustion is blamed for the fire, 1 which broke out in the athletic stocly room in Schoelkopf Memorial hall and destroyed more than 11000 worth of foot-1 ball uniforms, blankets and other equip- j ment before it was extinguished. Preliminary announcement of the j plans for the Grand American Handicap j trap shooting tournament at Chicago j Augyst 16 to 30 indicates that this annual j event will be conducted upon a larger scale than ever before. Puma and prizes will exceed 6*000 la value with more than 700 entrants shooting over Ml traps. The tournament will fee held at Grant Park and will open on Monday. August 16. with the Grant Park Intro ductory. Tuesday will be featured by the Chicago Overture and the National Amateur Championship at double tar gets. On Wednesday the Preliminary Handicap will be shot and on Thursday the Grand American event will be started. W. J. (Wheezer) Dell, the young pitch er of the Brooklyn Club, whose excellent twirling has been a big factor in* the re cent climb of the Superbaa to the fore rank of the National League, saya that he became a pitcher by accident. Nine years ago when Dell was playing ama teur ball in Butte his regular place was on the first base bag. One day the team was short of pitchers and he waa sent to the mound aa an emergency twirier. Dell did so well that he waa graduated to the hurling staff of the team. Wil bert Robinson, manager of the 8uperbas, ia on the outlooly tor a few more made over fin* basemen who can pitch aa well piiety of accepting the new world'* record of 4m. 12 3-SS for the mile ruo^ made by Norman Taber in the Hmwd Stadium on July 17. The contention Of the objector* to accepting the figures to that the time was made in a special trifcl and not in a race in the true sense of t&e word. Few followers of athletics realise the difficulty of finding a field and cOndi tions that will give a runner of Taber’s type the oportunity to break such a rec ord even though he has the ability. W. G. George of England set the time for the mile at 4m. 21 2-5c in 1SS2 and this time was not lowered by an amateur until 1S95 when Tommy Conneff ran the distance in 2.15 3-5s. There it stood until 1911 when John Paul Jones reduced ft 1*5 of a second and two years later cut a whole second off that time. In this race Jones had as opponents Taber. Brown; Harmon, Dartmouth; and Madeira of Pennsylvania all of whom finished in the order named. This was an extraordinary field and forced Jones to run at his best speed to win in time less than two sec onds slower than George's record of 4m. 12 3-4s made when a professional in 1S56. In the race 1n which George established the world's record^that Taber broke, tha English professional had as his opponent in the match contest at LilliebridgO. London, Billy Cummings, a runDer ot almost equal ability. It can be seen, therefore, that it is seldom that a group of runners of sufficient speed can be gathered under perfect racing conditions to warrant expectations of reducing rec ords which have reached the point where the mile figures are today. Taber could have in all probability lowered the rec ord just as much or perhaps more had he been able to race the full mile againkt a field of several runners capable Of staying with him for the entire distance at a speed inside 4m. 15e. Just where to find such a field, the objectors to the rec ord fail to state. Big Ed Walsh and Christy Mathewsoa pitching a brand of ball on the same day; that made them the stars of their rO^ spective leagues, for one afternoon at least, indicates that Old r ather Time haa developed a tendency to take an occa^ sional day off during the heated tern. J NATIONAL LEAGUE CUBS BEAT OUT PHILLIES 2-t Chicago, Aug. 1.—Whitted’s fumble of Zimmerman's single In the tenth inning gave Chicago a 2 to 1 victory over Philadelphia today. After one man was out Zimmerman lined a hot single to center and Whitted ran in too close. He touched the ball and It bounded away from him and went to the clubhouse, while Zimmerman elr^ cled the bases with the winning run. The game was a great pitchers’ batn tie between Alexander and Adams, thei former allowing but four hits, one of| which was Williams’ homer in the( fifth. Adams allowed five scattered; hits. A fumble by McAlary, Beclter’a] sacrifice and a single by Cmvath net-j ted one run in the sixth and prevented Adams pitching a shutout. Both clubs fielded in spectacular style, Cravath’s Sensational catch of Williams' liner in the eighth inning after Turning a somerset, being feature. The score; Phila .0 00001 000 0—>1-5-1 Chicago _0 00000000 1—2-4-1 Batteries: Alexander and Killifer; Adams and Archer. Umpires, Klem and Cockill. Time, 1.35. REDS TAKE TWO FROM DODGERS

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 1.—Cincin nati won a double header from Brook lyn today, the first 4 to 2 and the sec ond 6 to 3.

In the second game the locals play ed extremely lucky ball while Just the reverse was true of the visitors.

Russia Confident of To Exhaust Enemy m Anticipating Long Russian Authority Declares Russia tain of Successful Outcome for dares Every German Advance More Than Russians Petrograd, Aug. 1.—From a person who, although not connected officially with the "V\ ar Department, is in close touch with the government officials and is well ac quainted with the military situation and the Russian state of feeling. The Asso ciated Press has obtained the following review of the first year of the war: "The end of the first year of the war finds Russia's potential fighting ability undiminished. Her armies are intact, her resources virtually untouched; agd the determination of her people, the morale of her troops, have only been deepened with the growing realization of the ene my’s strength. Russian Optimism. "This determination is expressed most forcibly in the mobilization of vast in dustrial resources for the production of war munitions. These efforts are rapidly lessening the disparity of the combat ants in guns and ammunition. Russia does look for speedy termination of the struggle but feels confident of her power to exhaust the enemy. The campaign on the eastern froi must be viewed in relation to the enoi mous extent of territory' over which ba ties have been waged, from the Baltic 1 Bukowina. The far flung advances an retreats here have had no more signil cance relatively than gains and losses a thousand yards on the western fron To interpret Russia's temporarv loss LerrttI0ry 38 Gcrman success is to ignc.i Russia s role to engage as great a pa; of the enemy s forces as possible, to r, heve pressure on her Allies.

WILLIAM WINS THE FREE FOR ALL AT DETROIT RACING i _ Detroit, Aug. 1.—William showed his superiority over all other pacing champions Saturday afternoon by outlasting and outgaming his field and winning the $5000 free-for-all, two heats out of three. This event. which brought together the most I famous pacers in the world, was the race of greatest interest for the final j day of the Grand Circuit week. Races Spectacular j Only a little less spectacular was j the 2.03 pace, which went four heats, while the 2.12 trot, with five, also was fa splendid performance. The other j two races were won in straight heats. The gray warrior, Earl .Tr., with Cox up. was favorite for the 2.03 pace j and when he beat Peter Stevens in 'the first heat it looked that Cox was going to win his second race of the day.

DUTCH HOSPITAL SHIP PROPOSAL I IS TURNED DOWN I (Associated Press Correspondence) j The Hague, July ,15,—Last year during the beginning of the war. when the arrival of the few surviving sail ore from the three torpedoed British cruisers, the Hogue Aboukir and Cres sy showed what a terrible thing mod ern naval warfare was to be, a num ber of Dutch philanthropists discussed the desirability of equipping a neu tral Dutch hospital ship which should patrol the North Sea. The id^a was to have such a ship continuously pres ent on the high seas, hastening at the i first sound of battle to save those oth erwise condemned to drown after five i °r six hours of desperate clinging to a piece of wreckage. Naval officers promised their assistance. The large steamship companies were willing to subscribe money and the president of the Dutch Trading Company (the leader in that field of enterprise) took personal direction of the affair. A vice admiral volunteered his services as commander of the ship and the necessary sum of money, $120,000, was brought together. At that point the commission which intended to charter the Austrian liner “Thalia" interned in Amsterdam ad dressed itself to the governments of the different warring nations and ask ed their permission to equip and main tain such a ship under the neutral Dutch flag and under a Dutch com mander. Article three of the Conven tion of Geneva declares however that all “hospital ships even if* they are owned and equipped by neutrals must fly the flag of one of the belligerents." The Dutch commission requested that under the special circumstances of this war. the nations would agree to suspend this article for the Dutch floating ambulance. The ^Minister of Foreign Affairs who got interested in the plan supported this request per sonally. The governments of the na^ons to which the offer was made have not been willing to agree to the suspen sion of Article 3 In the case of the Thalia and have refused to have any thing to do with the proposal. The commission therefore has returned the money to the donors and the hospital ship lies at its dock in Amsterdam. WEDDING BELLS Are They Going to Ring for You? Let Us Supply the Invitations jfciur-.' I k COSTA RIDA HAS KILLED OUT A BIG INVASION OF LOCUSTS San Jose, Costa Rica, July 15.—This country has recently completed the de struction o? an Invasion of locusts. It was the first appearance of the Insect here since 1878, and was so extensive that it called forth the resources of the government to check it. The population was for a time thrown into a panic and even women and chidlren turned out to fight the insects. Some of the methods used in exterminating the pests were not un like those employed in destroying hu man beings on the European battle fields. and gave to the fighting a sem blance of real warfare. The invading army was bombarded with cannon loaded with sand, and with rockets, sprayed with asphyxi ating gases and Mown up with gun powder. The torch was also used and there was likewise let loose to attack the insects an army of coco-bacili, which has been discovered to be a mortal enemy of the locust, j Disease among the locust themselves, t however did most to destroy them as has sometimes been the case in human armies. The locusts came over the border from neighboring Central American re publics. The press of the latter had hecn reporting the devastating effects of a locust plague for a year, which were so alarming that the Costa Rican government made preparations for an invasion of its territory. Disheartening reports reached here not only from Guatemala and Honduras, but also from Salvador and Nicaragua where through neglect or for other reasons no efforts to eradicate the plague were made cither by the governments or by private agricultural interests. The damage the insects wrought on crops in those countries advanced cereal prices to such an extent that their governments were forced t.o import large shipments of grain which were sold at moderate prices. This, together with the increase in tit# rate of exchange caused by the European war, caused dealers in this countrj to ship large quantities of grain to these markets. This resulted in a considerable increase in the local market price and all grains underwent what might be termed a boom. In view of the excellent prospects for the sale of the next crop all fanners in this country, notwithstanding the threatening plague, were attracted to the planting of cereals and large tracts of land were prepared and cultivated. As a warning of the impeding peril a small swarm of locusts invaded Cos ta Rican territory by the province oi Guanacaste. hut owing to the prompt action on the part of the government with sand-loaded canr.on and rockets, the swarm was easily repulsed and turned back into Xicaraeuan territory After this two »or three months elapsed in which the government had time to make more thorough prepara tions and adopt special measure. A certain quantity of coco-bacill was im ported by the ministry of public works which was cultivated in the national laboratory and held in readiness. Al most all signs of the danger seemed to have disappeared, when about the middle of May one horde after another invaded Costa Rican territory on the Nicaraguan border. No locusts had visited this country for 37 years and therefore the panic amongst the inhabitants was unpre cedented. The daily newspapers pub lished columns and columns of reports on the advance of the plague; the gov ernment sent experts with thorough equipment to fight the invasion and congress enacted a special law by which every citizen was forced to pay j a special and direct tax for covering the «*xpenses of exterminating It. The swarms were numerous of hugs proportions. Everybody, without ex ception. helped in one way or another j to destroy the insect. Private sub scriptions were raised and in many towns invaded the women and children turned out with torches, lamps and other implements to aid in its anihil j ation. Although oiasts or sand from can non, trains of gunpowder, asphyxiat ing gases and rockets were all used with more or less success, it was 'thought by the government officials1 that had it not been for the appearance j of disease among the swarms, the coco-' i baciii would have undoubtedly proved! the most efficient means of getting rid of the pest. This disease killed th® i locusts by millions. It consisted in the development of a w'orm in the stomach of the insect, which gradually in-1 creased in size until the insect was unable to fly and fell dead to the ground. The disease seemed to be i highly infectious amongst the swarms. I which quickly succumbed. The plague 1 has now completely disappeared. Luckily the invasion took place just after the planting season was over. The plants were still young and it was noted all over the country that i instead of injuring the cultivation, this unexpected pruning seemed greatly to improve the conditions of the plants— a phenomenon, which, it is suggested here, should he studied by the depart ment of agriculture at Washington. Another curious thing was that the in sect did not touch coffee or Sugar-cane, I confining itself chiefly to corn and bean cultivations. The plague has in fact greatly con tributed to boost agricultural inter ests. The coming coffee crop will ex* j oeed by far those of all previous years, it is estimated; the grain crop will he thrice as large and is expected to find a ready market in the neighboring countries. UFFIOIAL REPORT OF NAVAL BATTLE FOUGHT NOV. 1,1914 OFF BAT OF ARANCO, CHIU i Associated Press Correspondence) I Berlin, July 14.—Full eight months ■ate, as an echo of the days when I portions of the German fleet were 1 still abroad on the high seas, and naval battles were not the rare oc currence they are today, the report of ice Admiral Count Spee. commander of the cruiser squadron of which the ill-fated Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were a part, concerning the battle between the Germans and the Eng lish off the Ea.v of Arauco, Chili, near Coronel, has reached the Admiralty, j The naval engagement, in whicfi three English cruisers and an aux iliary cruiser, and two German cruis ers and three smaller vessels, took part, occurred on Nov. 1. 1914. Vice Admiral Spee's account was written on November 3. How it has taken eight months for it to reach Ger many, where it has been in the long intervening months, may never be made known. One by one the German ships, the Scharnhorst. the Gneisenau, the 1 Nuernberg, the Leipzig, and the Dres i den, have met their fate. Admiral Spee’« report of the battle off Coronel indicates however that they rendered a good account of themselves first. His formal and precise story, with tne careful inclusion of the exact time cf firing, the distance between the squadrons, and other details, is how ever by no means lacking in genuine thrills as he categorically described the engagement. It is impossible to read it without a thrill of excitement as he tells of the two lines of manoeuvring vessels, the approaching darkness, the unsuccess ful and successful attempts to torpedo the ships of the enemy, and the final capsizing of one English battleship under the faint light of the moon. Following is Vice Admiral Spee's report in full: "The squadrons under'' my com mand, consisting of the large cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the small cruisers Dresden, Neurnberg and Leipzig, steamed on the first of November about 20 miles from the Chili coast, at a 12 mile rate, toward ifie south, in order to catch an Eng lish cruiser which, according to re liable information, had anchored off Coronel the night before. On the way several smaller cruisers were de tached from the squardon to look for approaching steamers and sailing ves sels. “At 4.15 in the afternoon, bent on such a mission, the Nuernberg was out of sight to the northeast, and the Dresden was approximately 12 miles to the rear. With the rest of the squadron I stood about 40 miles to the northeast of the Bay of Arauco. “At 4-17 there were sighted, in the West and to the South, two vessels, and at 4.25 a third, about 15 miles distant from us. Two were finally recognized as war ships, probably the Monmouth and the Glasgow, while the third probably was the auxiliary cruiser Otranto. They seemed to be taking .a southerly course. My squadron pursued them with all pos- sible <*peed. keeping them about four points to starboard. The wind was blowing a full gale from the South. A correspondingly high sea was run ning so that 1 strongly preferred to guard against being forced into the lee position. "The course chosen served also to cut off the enemy from the neutral coast. At 4.35 it was noticed that ’he British ships were bearing more westward, and I followed eventually in a west-southwest course, the Scharnhorst gradually overtaking theiyi at a speed of 22 miles, while the Gneisenau and the Leipsig lagged be hind. The lively wireless exchange of the enemy was disturbed as much as possible. "At 5.30 the arrival of another war ship was made known. This vessel took the lead at 5.30 and was recog nized as the Good Hope, the flagship of Hear Admiral Craddock The en emy's line at once straightened out, ran up its flags, and attempted slow ly to close on a southerly course, i From 5.35 on I held to a south west j erly course, later to a southerly course, under diminished speed, to al j low my other ships to catch up. “At 6.07 the two lines stood nearly parallel to one another on a southerly course, a little over 14,600 yards I apart. The Dresden was about one mile behind, and the Neurenberg was far to the rear. At 6.20, at a distance of 13,400 yards, I turned one point toward the enemy, and at 6.34, at a range of 11,260 yards, I opened fire. BARK FIERY CROSS HAD GREAT RECORD (Associated Press Correspondence) Christiania, July 15.—The Norwe gian bark Fiery Cross, recently sunk by a German submarine off the Seilly Islands, was the most renowned of the China clippers that figured in the great tea races of 50 years ago. She was built in 1860 to replace an old Fiery Cross which had been wrecked the previous year, and was commanded on her maiden voyage by Captain Dallas, the greatest of the clipper captains. Under him and his successor. Captain Richard Robinson, she proved well-nigh Invincible, re ceiving the premium for being the first vessel in the English docks on four different years, and being within 24 hours of winning the race on two other occasions. She remained in the front of big racing boats for more years than any other vessel in marine history, and outlived all her contempo raries of the famous skipper fleet. In the greatest tea race of all his tory. that of 1866, thp Fiery Cross held the lead until the last few days. When she was obliged to anchor In the downs and ride out a sudden gale.

Mr. Henna’s Plans Chester B. Henna, physical instruc tor of the Y. M. C. A. and a prac tised authority on the art of swim ming, will have the ork of instruc tion under his direction and he an nounces that each boy who takes the I course wfll be supplied with water wings. Masters of the art of teaching j to swim hat e nearly all discarded the old breast stroke in teaching begin i ners and Mr. Henna w ill use only the 'over-hand or trudgeon stroke which is almost universally used by swim ming instructors in work with begin ners. Thousands of boys are being taught to swim in the Y. M. C. A. pools in the United States and every association now approves the new trudgeon stroke Boys begin to swim in a surprtsing-ly short time by the i learning of this stroke; many begin to swim after two or three lessons. I Reward for Best Pupils j Throughout this week lessons will i be given in classes at the Y. M. C. A. pool and Saturday, Aug. 14. the final test will be given which means a i swimming-button for each boy who i succeeds. j Recent water accidents on Lake I Cobbosseecontee as w-ell as on the i waters of hundreds of Maine lakes bring forcibly to mind the need every boy has for mastery of the art of swimming. Either a boy's recreation must be abridged and he be kept away from the water except when accom panied by strong swimmers, or he i himself must be a master swimmer, if his personal safety is to be re garden—and these are days when the "Safety First’’ slogan is popular in all branches of human activity. One of the country’s prominent educators de clares: "No boy's or girl's education l is complete until he or she has mas tered the useful art of svimmtng.” j This is very true, and it should be added that the an of swimming is not merely useful; it is the ounce of pre vention of accidents that is worth a hundred tons of pulmotors as cures for the results. Be a Rescuer! Come on, fellows; get into this sw imming campaign and learn how to behave like a fish in water! Don’t be the fellow who will have to be rescued when the boat capsizes; qualify to be a rescuer.

WHY SPAIN'S SI 50, COO,000 LOAN FAILED (Associated Pres« Correspondence) I Madrid. July 15.—Spanish treasury 1 statements for the first six months of 11915 show very clearly some of the financial difficulties of the country at the time of the failure of the $150, 000,000 loan, and the consequent cabi net crisis of June -lid. While the books of the treasury show an in j crease of receipts over any previous year they also show an increase of ex penditure which, when taken togeth er with the interest that must be paid on Spain’s $1,814,270,000 debt, regu larly produce a deficit. To meet this was one of the principal reasons for I trying to float the recent unfortunate j loan. The total receipts for the first half I year of 1915 were $134,816,602 as against a total for the same period of last year of $117,856,465, exhibiting a nominal gain of $26.960.13S in the na tional revenues over last year. But j in this same period this year there (have been $36,524,950 of treasury obli gations to meet, in addition to ordi nary. normal expenses, with the result that, on the whole, the Spanish treas ury is actually behind $9,564,812 in comparison with the first half year of 11914. Had it been possible for the Dato J ministry to float its $150,000,000 loan, jit could at least have deferred the day of reckoning until less parlous times. Public opinion in Spain seems to agree that the abstention of wealthier in vestors from subscription to the loan was partially caution, due to war con ditions. and partially politics, due to the fear that the Date ministry was dangerously close to the Quadruple Entente Powers and might at any time try to drag Spain into the war. The unequivocal renewal of the King's confidence in the ability of Eduardo Dato to extricate the country, some how, from its financial embarrassment is expected to silence those critics of the government and to insure the suc cess of the loan when again offered. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES Christian and Missionary Alliano* The Old Orchard convention of the Christian and Missionary Alliance opened at the campground Saturday afternoon and will continue until Monday, Aug. 9- Missionaries from all parts of the world and prominent preachers from New England.

SAYS FARMERS DE PEND ON FORESTS Forest Service Article Asserts That Destruction of Woods Means the Loss of Local Markets. Washington, July 29.—In regions j ■where timber is the most important natural resource permanent forests! managed with a view to sustained timber production are absolutely es- I sential to the continuance of agricul- ture. according to an article in the Year Book of the Department of Ag riculture just published. The result of exploiting the timber without thought of the future is the final disappear ance of lumbering operations and therefore the withdrawal of an im j portant local market for farm pro ducts. In addition, forest fires often ravage the cut-over lands and thus preclude the development of a new lo cal market by the resumption of lum bering; for after fire there is no chance for a new crop of trees. From a region where productive timberland has been converted into a barren waste, the farmers usually have to move out. There are parts of the United States in which cultiva tion of the soil has ended with the cessation of local lumbering, or at least shortly afterward, because with the withdrawal of the woods-'workers went the farmers' market for meats, vegetables, hay and grain. There are other regions where the stability of local agriculture is absolutely bound up with forest protection. This is strikingly true in parts of the Appa lachian mountains of the East; it is no less true in many of the national forest regions of the West. A few years ago. continues the arti cle. more than a hundred farmers in Montana petitioned against the then proposed elimination of their section from the Kootenai National Forest. Its elimination they knew, from the history of adjacent land outside the forest, would mean that it would at once be taken for years without de velopment. They knew also that if thi6 came about, neighbors could not be obtained or roads and schools be developed in the county as rapidly as if the land remained under govern ment control, by which the portions really more suitable for agriculture than for forest purposes would in time be entered by permanent settlers un der the Forest Homestead Act. In 1911, an association of Colorado fanners, who irrigated their farms with water from the North Platte Riv er, sent an urgent request to the government to restrict timber cutting on the North Platte watershed, so that, as far as possible, high spring freshets could be prevented and more water made available for irrigation during the summer months, when the crops were most in need. They said that they relied upon the national for est. within which the watershed lay. to ensure a steady flow of water for their crops. The national forests, says the arti cle. besides being the American farm er's most valuable source of wood, which is the chief building material for rural purposes, are also his most valuable source of water, both for ir rigation and domestic use. In the West, they afford him a protected grazing range for hi6 stock; they are the best insurance against flood dam age to his fields, his buildings, his bridges, his roads, and the fertility of his soil. The national forests cover the higher portions of the Rocky Mountain ranges, the Cascades, the Pacific Coast ranges, and a large part of the forested coast and islands of Alaska; some of the hilly regions in Montana and in the Dakotas, Okla homa and Arkansas, and limited areas in Minnesota. Michigan. Florida and Porto Rico. In addition, land is now being purchased for national forests in the White Mountains of New Eng land and in the southern Appala chians In regions so widely scattered agricultural and forest conditions nec essarily differ to a great degree, bring ing about corresponding differences In the effect of the national forests on the agricultural interests of the vari ous localities. Wherever agriculture can be practiced, however, the farmer Is directly benefited by the existence of national forests and by their prop er management.

Responding to a summons from j Chairman Tanner of the short ballot committee, whose efforts to speed up j that body Saturday in framing an amendment for the reorganization of j the state government have been frus- ttated by up-state standpatters. Pres- j idem Root incisively told the dele- gates the people weie tired of the quibbling and technicalities of politi- j cians and wanted real governmental reform. He said: They have had abundant cause for complaint. They are tired of the pres- ent system of government, and it Is a wonder they could have existed so long under it. with its mushroom growth of offices, agencies and depart ments. we don't give the people a real .•use they will keep or. demanding such things as the initiative and ref- i c Cum and the recall.

Aug. l.-The Colonial ine passenger steamer Concord, from *ew York for Providence, collided vith the barge Exeter ln iett Bay during a fog early Sunday, linking the barge. No one was injur •d and after taking aboard the crew >f the Exeter, the Concord, which was lot damaged, continued her journey, [■he shock of the collision threw sev eral of the passengers on the Concord rom their berths and created some excitement, but the officers soon quiet The collision occurred just north of the Plum Beach light, near the en trance of the bay. Pilot G. F. Clew eller was in charge of the liner. The steamer, he says, was within 1000 feet of the barge, which was anchored awaiting a tow. when he discovered her. The engines of the liner were re versed. but her momentum was so great that she could not be stopped in time. The Concord struck the Exeter near the bow making a large hole, which extended below the water line: Cap tain Lewex ar.d the six men of the barge crew took to the boats and stood by until their vessel sank. 40 minutes later, after which they boarded the. Concord. The Exeter was owned by the Phila delphia Reading Coal Company and carried *3000 tons of coal consigned to the New York. New Haven Hartford Railroad at this port. Captain G; A. Cobb of the Concord said thafthe Ex eter was lying squarely across the channel and was sounding no bell. GOMPERS TELLS OF EMPLOYERS’ CERTAIN RIGHTS Meriden. Conr... Aug. 1 —While in sisting that the right of the working mac to strike "is of paramount im portance.” Samuel A Gompers. presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, in an address before the Cen tra! Labor Vnion of Meriden, whose chief guest he was at an outing here Saturday in observance of its loth anniversary, advised the laboring man to avoid strikes and to remember that "employers have some rights." He also referred to the effect of the war or. the American labor conditions, ar.d expressed the opinion that the Eastland disaster might have been an act of God to defeat the outcry against the seaman's act.” Referring to labor conditions Mr Goa.rets said: "Men must learn that employers have some rights. If you will investi gate you will find that strikes often are caused by unorganised or recent ly organized labor. In the later case the workers suddenly think themselves all powerful and imagine employer* have no rights. Avoid strikes. The right to strike is of paramount import ance. not the exercise of that right." Of the effect of ons on America uropear. vs* ooEsdi Utor Mr. Gompers said The treat European conflagration may result ttt good if it crushes out the spirit rf militarism and in its place offers the spirit :f humanity, in this coactrv. when the war is over, thousands rf workers will be thrown out of employ meet to-.-a use of the cutting off of the present artificial market for the necessities of life, as we” as for the implements of war La bor ocean.rat: r.s should rre~.±re for CASES AGAINST THE BAR HARBOR HOTELS AND CLUB ENDED Bar Harfrc-r A=e 1—1=. tie ~ri. v'.'-in Ss.t=r4»y Sf= ‘i* :-?i Sfrz. i-fcaac-cjf i- flies iKiri feefzae v.r» Fr.
