WILL REMAIN SECRET
British Government Not to Pub.
lish Kaiser'S Letter.
IS NOT ENTIRELY SATISFIED
Public Grumbes at Suppression of the
Correspondence on Great Brit
aims Naval Programme.

London, March 10.-The British
government has decided to keep pri.
vate the personal letter written by
Emperor William to Lord Tweed
mouth, first lord of the admiralty, in
which, it was charged by the London
Times, his majesty attempted to in
fuence legislation in the matter of
the naval estimates of Great Britain.
How this decision, which was an"
nounced in both houses of parliament,
will please the country remains to be
seen. Since A. J. Balfour, speaking
for the opposition, endorsed the policy
of the cabinet, it may be predicted
that the public may consider the in.
cident closed.
The remark made by Lord Rosebery
that the nation was making itself RI
diculous over the affair finds much
support The discussion was brief
and dry. All the participants pro.
ceded as if they were walking on
eggs, for criticism of the ruler of an
other nation is a delicate business.
The fact that Lord Tweedmouth con.
suited Sir Edward Grey, the foreign
secretary, before replying to Emperor
Williams letter, was the only new
fact brought out, and it goes far to
diminish the criticism of Lord Tweed
mouth because it relieves him of all
suspicion of anything resembling dis
loyalty to the interests of the navy.
The character of Emperor Williams
letter is now generally understood.
The spiciest passage is believed to be
the reference to Lord Esher, that he
had better occupy himself with drain
pipes and keep his hands off the navy.
Lord Esher was engaged in improving
the drainage system of Windsor castle
when Emperor William was there re-

The Swiss canton Of Vaub has es-

interests connected with the absinthe
industry, but the combination has
failed absolutely and it Is now under

Kind Word for Man.

How men are abused! And most of
them are good fellows. Think of the
dozens of men you know who work
and slave for their families, and Of the
few you know who really have bad
habits. The Globe lately paid COM
pliment to the men, and the editor
was almost knocked off his feet to-day
when he received letter from one of
the most prominent women in Kansas
praising the tribute. Very few women
really admire their husbands. And
there is an explanation: A man is the
head of the house, and, if he fails, his
wife fails. She can not always under
stand why her husband isn't a rich
man: it is so easy for wife to imag-
inc that her husband might do better.
# Is also easy for children to imagine
that their father might do better, and
Ado" more for them. Therefore, a
man has few admirers. We hear a
great deal about the prosperous coun-
try il winch we live, but all the same
it is difficult for man to make and
save a dollar. So many men are after
the same dollar you are after.-Atch-

CROP DAMAGE EXTENSIVE
Hot Weather's Effect on Crops Is Not
Yet Fully Known.

Grand Forks, N: D., July 15.-The
full extent of the damage to wheat
and other grain from the hot winds
of Thursday and Saturday will not be
known for several days. Travelling
men arriving in the city report the
conditions far from encouraging.
From Williston to Larimore on the
line of the Great Northern there has
been extensive damage reported in
nearly every locality. Branch line
towns of the Great Northern report
similar conditions.
Incomplete reports from points in
the Canadian Northwest indicate that
the damage done there was greater
than in North Dakota. The wheat
was farther advanced and the severe
heat had worse effect than in North
Dakota.
The Red river valley counties are
feeling reasonably sure of fair crop.
There will be no bumper yield, but
the stand of wheat is good and it is
heading out in good shape. Oats,
barley and fax will be fair crops.

DIFFERENT NOW
Athlete Finds Better Training Food

1t was formerly the belief that tc
become strong, athletes must eat
plenty of meat.
This is all out of date now, and
many trainers feed athletes on the
well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made of
wheat and barley, and cut the meat
down to a small portion once day.
"Three years ago." writes a Mich.
man, having become interested in
athletics, found I would have to stop
eating pastry and some other kinds
of food.
81 got some Grape-Nuts, and was
soon eating the food at every meal,
for 1 found that when 1 went on the
track, felt more lively and active.
Later, began also to drink Postum
in place of coffee, and the way I
gained muscle and strength on this
diet was certainly great. On the day
of a field meet in June I weighed 124
lbs. On the opening of the football
season in Sept, 1 weighed 140. at
tribute my fine condition and good
work to the discrimination of i'm
proper food and coffee, and the using
of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my princi-
pal diet during training season being
Grape-Nuts.
Before 1 used Grape-Nuts I never
felt right in the morning-always kind
of out of sorts with my stomach. But

breakfast largely If Grane-NutS

KNIGHTS OF THE
MYSTIC Shrine
ELECTRIC PARADE OF SHRlNERS
WAS a MOST GLORIOUS
SPECTACLE.
Spectators Form Solid Row of Faces
Along the Line. Pageant Fully
One Hour Long. Fully 5000 in
Line.

ST. Paul, July 15.-Yesterday mark
ing the third day of Shriner's week,
and the first day of the Imperial
Council in actual business session
was ushered in with nature cloaked
in its most beauteous garb and went
out in blaze of glory.
Both Minneapolis and st. Paul were
enfete, but ST. Paul caught the big
end Of the celebration. The m st i'm
portant events of the day were the
breaking of ground for st. Paul's
new $15O,OO0 Masonic temple, the
formal opening of the Imperial Coun-
Gil, the traditional banquet served
the Imperial officers, and last and
most noteworthy of all, the electrical
parade of the evening along the bust
ness streets.
1t is estimated, and most conserva-
lively, that 15J, 200 men, women and
children-and the number may have
been in excess of 200, packed the
streets along the line of march. 1t
was almost impossible for the extra
details of police to make room for the
passing marchers.
The parade started from Capitol
hill at 9:10. The line of march was
along Cedar street to Seventh, thence
to Broadway, Broadway to Sixth,
Sixth street, Sixth to Sibley, Sibley
to Third, Third to Jackson, Jackson
to Sixth, Sixth to Wabasha, Wabasha
to Fifth, Fifth to Washington, Wash
ington to Third, Third to Franklin
and Franklin to Fifth and Sixth
streets.
The number of marchers was APP
proximately 5000. 1t took an hour
and Is minutes to pass given point.
The Arab patrols pleased the crowd
along the line of march with exhibit
tions of military movements, exc
cuted, in the main, with precision
and smoothness which indicated
many hours of constant applied drill.
1t is estimated that 10000 Minnea-
politans witnessed the parade.
And st. Paul in wonder and pride
watched the army of invasion roll
onward, silent spectators at first and
then as the winding chain of lovli-
ness unwrapped before them they
burst into wild cheers that reached
far above the light sheen into the
night.
For just an even hour the resplend-
ent cohorts of the great prophet
passed before the wonder-smitten
villagers, and when the last of the
glittering war captains had vanished
in the distance ST. Paul drew long,
satisfied breath. 1t had seen the best
to be seen anywhere any time.

Ball players who are in the habit OF
betting on the games are fearing that
Ban Johnson will drive them out OF
the American league. Johnson has
sent out a circular letter appealing to
the club owners and managers to kill
all gambling. Ban intimates that it
will go hard with any player caught
wagering as much as nickel on
ball game. In an official bulletin John
son orders club owners to stop the
betting. One player who always backs
himself to win, or, at least, claims he
does, is John Powell of the st. Louis
Browns. Powell asserts that his in
come from his wagers is more than
his salary as a player. While the au
thority of the owners and of Ban is
confined to the grounds, their inf1u-
ence and that of the players, properly
directed, will be powerful factor.
Baseball has been free from the
gamblers black hand. 1t is so essen
TALLY part of the American life that
it would be shame to permit the
encroachment of any evil. And once
the hydrahead of gambling enters,
just so soon will baseball begin to lose
its hold upon the public. Long ago
gamblers bet high on baseball, and
some wagers ran into four figures. In
Louisville a plunger framed zeal
with three players-Devlin, Nichols and
Cramer-to throw game upon which
he had fortune staked. The plot was
exposed and the men were barred
from baseball for all time. The ex-
pose almost killed baseball In Louis
vile. 1t is said that some players
bet upon the games. They lay their
money upon their own team, however.
But the practice should be checked
now, and Ban Johnson reasons that
player who bets on himself gets
into company where temptation is al
ways present, and some day it may
prove too strong to withstand.
