ALL AGOG.
When Sons Receive Recruit
ing Literature.

More than one unmarried young
man of the city is having trouble these
days to convince his parents that he
has not taken steps to join the United
States army, and more than one moth
er still doubts the explanations her
son has given.
Suspicion against the young men
has arisen from the receipt of a circu-
lar sent out by the local recruiting sta
ton to unmarried young men advising
them to take advantages of army life
and telling them that Uncle Sam is
willing to take them into the service.
The circular is enclosed in an en-
yelope that bears the stamp of the re-
cruiting station and the return line of
the war department.
Anxious mothers feared the worst
when their eyes rested on the yellow
envelope the mail carrier left for the
sons and when the latter returned
from work they were besieged with
anxious inquiries regarding the com.
munication
Even after the circular of the depart
ment had been read to the parents
their suspicious were not allayed, and
more than one young man who plan
ned to go to Cincinnati or Indianapo
lis next Sunday, is forced to stay in
the parental home.

!! tue of having had possession of this

Motor Boats Will Be
Defeated.
(National News Association


NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Chances for
American success in the International
motor races at Huntington, L. l., this
afternoon, for the Harmsworth cup
looked very slender upon the eye of
the contest.
After Ave days of hard work on the
trials to select the defenders for the
cup only one, the Ankle Deep, had
been chosen up to today.
The final trials were scheduled for
10 o'clock this morning. But while the
elimination gave place to only one
Yankee boat the committee said that
under the rules governing the races
they had the right to name two others
was said that advantage would be ia
ken of this rule.
AS result of Fridays tests three
boats were disabled. They were the
Baby Reliance ", Tech Jr. and Min
now. The Minnow had to be beached
to save her from sinking after she split
plank on her starboard side on the
Weather indications early in the day
were generally favorable. 1t was
cloudy but there was no hint of rain
A still breeze kicked up a rather hea-
Wy sea but it was hoped that this
would abate before 2 o'clock, the time
get for the races to start.
Huntington bay has already been
the scene of eight international mo-
torboat contests for the Harmsworth
trophy which was presented to the
Royal Motor Yacht club as a perpetual
prize by Lord Northcliffe. The first
contest was held in July, 1903 and con
tests have been held annually ever
Stree except in 1909 when the chal
lenge for the trophy held by America
was withdrawn when it was found that
no boats were staunch enough to com
pete. The cup came to America in
1907 when the Dixie captured the race
at Southampton, Eng Each country is
allowed three boats. The course is sc
miles long with four legs to it, each
being 7k miles long.
