THE PRESIDENT AT CORNISH.
Mr.. Wilson Arrives There for a Short
Stay.

Windsor, VT, Ag. 29.-President Will
son arrived here shortly after ! o'clock
yesterday afternoon for his first vaea
ton trip of the summer A light rain
was falling and the trip to "Harlarken-
den house, the summer "White House"
at Cornish, n H., was made in closed
automobile. Practically the entire pop
ulace OF Cornish and Windsor were at
the station to welcome the president and
he greeted all warmly. The GOODNESS of
the weather forced the president to wear
heavy suit.
Mr.. Wilson was tired by the trip
from Washington and under the orders
of DR.. C. T. Grayson, he planned to
take complete rest during his stay
here. The only pressing business to oc-
cupy the president is the executive or
der he is to issue changing the naviga
tion laws in accordance with the recent
amendment to the Panama canal act.
Should other important questions arise
he will return Immediately to Washing
ton. There will be family gatherings in
observance of the birthday anniversary
of Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, the presi-
dents daughter.

MONEY TO MOVE CROPS.
Treasury Will Accept Notes from the
Banks.

Washington, Aug, 29.-Notes with a
maturity of not longer than four months,
secured by warehouse receipts for cot
ton or tobacco viii be accepted by the
treasury department from national banks
as a basis for the issue of additional
currency which may be used to help
farmers pick and market their cotton
and tobacco crops.
These notes, according to an announce
ment from the department Thursday
night, will be accepted at rs per cent
OF their face value, and must be present
ed through currency associations pro-
yided under the Aldrieh- Vreelanl law.
In making this announcement, Sc .'etary
McAdoo declares that there is ale luate
power under existing law to issue edough
currency through national hanks 10 meet
any reasonable demand and reitera: ed
his statement that it is mot necessary
to extend the note-issuing privilege to
state banks" He pointed out that he
has power to issue 81 200, 100000 of ad-
ditional currency if required
1t was explained that since the law
gives discretion to the secretary of the
treasury, this currency will not be is
sued unless officials are convinced that
it is to be used for harvesting and car
rying haryests, not for speculative pur-
poses Banks, it was said, would be re-
lied upon to see that the warehouse re-
ceipts which are issued by reliable ware
house men are accepted and that cotton
and tobacco stored there is protected by
insurance from injury by the elements.

MILLION BARRELS
OF OIL BURN
IN OKLAHOMA
Flaming Oil Flows in Creeks--Fire Dis
trict Miles Long--Lightning
Caused Confagration.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 29.-Nine
hundred thousand barrels OF oil are re-
ported burned in the Healdton and 'Cush'
ing oil fields of Oklahoma, The burn
ing oil was flowing into several creeks
and little hesdway was being made by
those battling with the flames. Light
ming started both fires Thursday. At
Drum Wright in the center OF the Cush-
ing district, bolt struck pipe line
owned by the Gypsy Oil Co, and fol-
lowing the main line and radiating pipes,
gnited 10 tanks ana a lake of oil con-
tanning 100000 barrels. Entertainments
are being constructed to check the flow
of burning oil.
In the Healdton field, near AAlmore,
Is fires were started almost sirhulta-
neously. The fire zone in this district
is three miles in width and eight miles
in length.
Heavy rains at Healdton aided in
bringing the fire under control. The
burning oil destroyed practically every
thing within an area of two square
miles. The loss is estimated at $780,
000 with about $4,000 insurance. At
Cushing about 100000 barrels of oil were
destroyed. The loss, which is not Civ
en-, is said to be covered by insurance.

Paris Apprehensive as Army Battles to
Check Invaders.

Paris, Aug. 29.--While Paris is active.
| ly preparing for a possible siege, the
war Office insists that the French lines
of defense are holding fast.
| II is admitted the Germans have forced
the gap near Longwy and are pouring
regiments into France at that point
But the bridges across che Meuse have
been destroyed and the French are
strongly intrenched from Verdun to Sc
dan, with an enormous amount of ar
tillery massed in the trenches ready to
check the advance.
The British, supported by strong de-
taehments of French. are holding the
northern positions with Cambria as the
base. The French cavalry forces are re-
ported TO have frustrated the attempt
Of the Germans to raid the department
of Pas de Calais and to have driven the
Uhlan invaders from Arras.
There is grave apprehension in the
city. II is admitted the French resist
ence is being subjected to the supreme
test and that if the lines do not hold
Paris may be besieged.
The German armies Of the Saar and
lower Moselle are reported to have effect
ed a junction and to be moving past
Longwy, Villerupt, Joppecourt, Audunle-
Roman and Briery in the department of
Meurthe ct Moselle and Mpntmedy in
the department of the Mouse.
So long as the railways remain intact
il is stated that Il will be possible to
protect any portion of the lines which
are under extraordinary pressure.
All foreigners are being urged to leave
Paris without delay. and as an indica
ton OF the plans Of the government to
keep the population down TO minimum

FAILED TO PAY.
Panama Canal Operated at Loss During
Its First Week.

Washington, Aug. 29.-As direct re-
suit Of the war in France, receipts from
the operation of the Panama canal have
failed TO pay the expenses of the great
waterway. Tolls during the first week
of traffic in the canal amounted 10 only
about $4,000, That was not enough to
pay operating expenses, much less to
meet the interest payment on the vast
capital invested
Prof. Emory johnson estimated that
the receipts from tolls at the end OF the
first two years would be about $25,000,-
600.
Canal officials, however, are confident
that there will be a big increase in bus
mess as soon as the trade routes are re-
esta blished and interference with com
meree disappears through some decisive
victory in the war.
Also il is anticipated that great feet
of vessels under American and other
neutral flags will soon be passing
through the waterways to handle the west
coast trade of America, so that the bal
ance viii soon be on the right side of the
canals ledger.

READY TO CHALLENGE
FOR DAVIS TROPHY
United States Will Go After Tennis III.
tie in 1915, Providing the War
Clouds Do Not Prevent
Tournament.

New York, Aug. 29.-American lawr
tennis players and officials are already
planning for the recapture of the Davis
cup, won by the Australasian team al
Forest Hills, L. J., through the efforts OF
Norman +, Brookes and Anthony +
Wilding. With Maurice E. Mclaughlin
as nucleus new team viii be organ
lied and challenge issued in 1915, pro-
vided the European war clouds have dis
persed and the international situation
warrants sucn action.
With Brookes and Wilding unlikely to
defend the trophy again and score Of
young American players rapidly rising
to the heights already attained by Nc.
Loughlin, the prospects of regaining the
cup in the next try is considered bright.
McLoughin's victories in the recent tour
nament stamp him as the greatest sin
giles player in the world. Because of
his youth he is conceded to have at
least five years championship tenure.
What is needed TO give the United States
a really representative team is another
player of almost equal singles ability
and a strong well balanced doubles team.
In addition TO Mclaughlin and r. Nor
ris, I'd, William NJ. Johnston, John r.
Strachan, r, Lindley Murray, Clarence
Griffin, G.. C. Gamer and Ella Fottrell,
form squad of young players who are
rapidly mounting to the highest ranks
and these players, together with several
others of more mature experience give a
wide field from which TO select. From
this same combination formidable dou
bles pair might be formed although pairs
already accustomed to the necessary
team work, like Dean Mathey and George
NJ Church who surprised the Davis cup
gallery by defeating Doust and Dunlop,
the Australasian reservists, are available |
and need but a little polish to make /
them OF cup calibre.
Unless the otner tennis playing ma
lions of the world keep pace in the de-
yelopment of young players il is doubt |
'ul therefore if the next contest for this /
up will witness the close and thrilling |
,lay that developed in the 1914 strug
lie. An analysis of the Davis cup rec
,rds for the tournament shows that the
of the seven nations
which participated played six rounds
onsisting of 80 matches; 95 sets and
100 games With the exception of the
British Isles Australasisn and the United
'tates- Australssian matches all the
ounds were one sided. Brookes and
yilding after defaulting two matches
o the British Isles team won 20 games
o "A and defeated the United States
02 games TO 96. In the challenge round
he point tables show that Mclaughlin
efeated Rrookes l76 to lac and Wilding

BASEBALL AND
THEATRE TICKETS
TO PAY WAR TAX
Tobacco and Whiskey Likely to Escape
Further Impost, According to the
Plans Of the Ways and Means
Committee.

Washington, Aug. 29.--Though no fnal
decision has been reached, Democratic
leaders who have been considering where
to impose war taxes have about con-
eluded to tax better, wine, coca cola, pep
sicola, and theatre and baseball tickets.
How far they will go in imposing stamp
taxes is not settled.
Tobacco, it is stated on authority,
will escape further taxation, and prob
ably whiskey also, though there is a
strong sentiment for more tax on whis-
key. The ways and means Democrats
are disposed to omit additional taxation
of whiskey.
1t is expected that the plan of taxa
ing theatre tickets ana baseball tickets
will cause protest, especially taxation of
theatre tickets, but it is learned that
the ways and means committee is strong
ly disposed to do it.

TREASURY ASKS
FOR INFORMATION
Action Is Said to Result in
Serious Hard
ships

New York, Aug 49,. Heads of national
banks in this city confirmed yesterday
the report that they have received CON
fdential communication from Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo and Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency Williams, directing
their attention to complaints registered
at Washington by borrowers of money
on stock exchange securities in this mar
ket. According to the letter OF the
treasury officials it is charged that the
banks had thrown out many loans made
on collateral of the most approved char
acter and that they have in other ways
worked hardship to holders Of securi-
ties at this crucial period. Acting upon
these complaints, the treasury depart
ment has directed the national banks of
this city promptly to furnish it with de-
tailed information regarding its hold
ings of securities in loans.
The information requested calls for
descriptive list of securities carried for
borrowers prior to Aug, /, which the
banks have since requested borrowers
either to withdraw from loans TO
pay because of dissatisfaction with the
collateral. 1t also calls for list of all
securities on which the banks have re-
quired or are requiring a margin OF more
than twenty-iiv per cent Few bank
presidents would comment on the action
of the treasury department, but it was
evident that they regarded the communi-
cation from the secretary and the comp
troller with some impotence. They will
in all cases, however, comply.

British Foreign Secretary
Explains Failure of the
Peace Negotiations
COULD NOT
BE NEUTRAL
Indications That Turkey Is
Now Preparing to De-
clare War

Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, explained yesterday that the
negotiations with Germany failed be-
cause Great Britain could not remain
neutral, and would not ask France to
be neutral if Germany declared war on
Russia, owing to Frances alliance with
on publication yesterday of more com
plete report from the British ambas-
sador to Germany, which covers fully
the peace negotiations in Berlin. The
report incidentally gives high praise to
Ambassador Gerard, who, it is stated
gave valuable assistance to foreigners
in Berlin. Turkey is said TO be prepar-
ing to declare war on the allies. If this
action is taken it would plunge all the
balkans into the conflict. Loyalty in
England is appearing in many forms, and
the opening of historic castles and man
sions as hospitals indicates that patriot
ism has spread to all classes Palatia
yachts also are offered, in fact the au
thorities are quite overwhelmed with
tenders of facilities for caring for the
wounded Loyalty is extending, too, in
France; the Socialists of all shades are
uniting in support OF the nation, be-
lieving that they are fighting not only
for the greatness of France but also for
the liberty of the republic and civiliza
ton. Canadian forces are showing dou-
bic loyalty; they are going to fight for
the mother country; but they will main.
tain their identity as Canadians during
the campaign. The United States is
to protect Christians in Tur-
key, and the state department advises
all Americans to leave Europe as rap
idly as possible. An American Red |
Cross ship, manned by Americans and /
carrying $50 American nurses and 30 |
surgeons, will leave New York for the

WAR MAY STOP FLINT PEBBLES.
Used in Pottery Manufacture-Supply
0btainable in United States.

In 1913 nearly $4,000 worth of flint
pebbles were imported into the United
States, mainly from Denmark and
France. In these countries the flint oc-
ours as irregular nodules in the chalk
cliffs that border certain parts, of the
coast. and under the impact of the waves
on the shore the hard flint becomes
freed from its relatively soft chalk mat
rix and is gathered in great quantities
from the beaches for shipment to all
parts of the world. At their destination
the more irregular nodules are calcined
and ground to a fine powder for use
in pottery manufacture. but those that
have been well rounded by the waves
are reserved for use in tube mills, their
hardness and chemical inertness making
them desirable grinding agent.
The United States Geological Survey
reports that the cutting of of the inn
ports OF flint pebbles should work no
material hardship to the pottery indus
try. as flint is used in that industry only
in subordinate amounts compared with
the crystalline quartz largely quarried
in Connecticut, New York and Mary
land, and as the supply Of the quartz is
Tar in excess Of the present demands. A
cutting Of Of the supply Of rounded flint
pebbles suitable for tube mill use would.
IL il probable entail some inconvenience,
for ready-rounded fints are not known
