Chicago, Ill. Aug. Norman E.
Brookes, the Australian tennis wizard,
will be the greatest block in the paths
of our American champs in their eff
for'.s to retain the Davis cup. With
his fellows it is agreed that Brookes
viii make the retention of the cup no
little difficulty and though the other
Australian players are able 70 play the
game with great cunning, Brookes
alone will be the cause of great dis
tress.
This season he has shown a return
to his unbeatable form of several
seasons ago. At the time of his de-
feating Wilding in England a few
years back all tennis experts agreed
that Brookes had displayed a briIli-
ance on the courts never before ap-
preached. In the form he then show
ed no other tennis champ could hope
to come near him. Il was the heydey
of his tennis career Through the
several succeeding seasons, however.
he slumped appreciabIy and had little
Of his one-ime speed.
His remarkabl comeback this sum-
mer has been the topic of animated
discussion in the tennis circles of all
nations. 1t is agreed on every side
that he is the same unbeatable Brookes
OF a few years ago. In every round
thus far he has done all the damage
that was expected of him and he will
continue the clip.
BrCCkes alone, perhaps. cannot carry
the Davis cup from the land of the free,
but he viii DO quite a bit in that direc-
ton. The American team in retain
ing the title must contrive to do it
without planning TO defeat or humble
the unbeatable Norman E. Brookes.

Pasha that the telegram was admir-
able, only it should have been sent
long ago. The governor general OF Err
zeroum was Reouf Pasha, who was
governor of Jerusalem at the time OF
General Grants visit to that city. A
strong friendship sprang UP between
them. The pasha loved to talk OF the
taciturn general, whom he recognized
as one of the truly great men he had
come across in his lifetime.
With the overthrow of Abdul Hamid
autocracy was displaced by a limited
monarchy. But the expulsion of the
Turks from Europe seems inevitable.
The hope OF the Ottoman empire is in
its Asiatic possessions, since England
has no territorial ambitions in Asiatio
Turkey, and the position of Germany
seems fixed by geographical limita-
tons, and both have great interests in
Mesopotamia. They will. doubtless,
cooperate to check the advance OF
Russia toward the Persian gulf. With
the reclamation of the Euphrates vc-
ley by canals and irrigation now being
carried out by the Turks government
whereby an immense area will be rem,
dered productive, capable OF support.
Ing millions of people. there seems
to be brighter outlook for the Turk.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug AFTER
an absence of nearly three years,
Charley White, conqueror of Willie
Richie, has arrived here in company
with his manager, Nate Lewis, and his
trainer, ice Bernstein. The little
Chicago scrapper settled down at the
beach right away and started active
training for his coming 20 round bat
tie with Joe Azevedo.
Nobody paid any attention to
Charley the last time he was here,
because his name had not been inscrib-
ed in the book of fame then. He had
just dropped in to see Owen Moran
wallop Bat Nelson and he had just
been walloped by Danny Webster down
in Los Angeles. But things have
changed since and this time Charley
comes as a hero and everybody is
talking about him.
white is not picking the easy ones"
said Lewis. "All he wants is a chance
to fight and he doesn't care who he
fights either. After he gets through
with Azevedo, he'll take on Richie
or Welsh or any of them. But if Rit-
chic wants action, he will have to
make 133 pounds. This is the recog-
nized weight again and Richie can't
sidestep it,
"Tll stick right here if they can dig
up opponents for me- cut in the
fighter after his manager had finish
ed NJ like the long distance route
and am sure that can give the fans
of San Francisco plenty of action. 1
have a lot of respect for Aaevedo, be-
cause he gave me a harder fight than
Richie Don't worry; 1 won't take
any chances with him"

tired of the Christian. Even the wars
Of the Crusaders which lasted for cen
turtles, were powerless to change the
sentiment of tolerance toward the
Christian world, a sentiment forever
irooted in the spirit of the Koran"
All religious are tolerated by law
in Turkey, and those who profess
them are granted the fullest liberty
to practice them. The only condi-
tons exacted by the state are that
each religious body must be duly au-
thori4ed and that a responsible chief
must be appointed with whom the gov
eminent can treat in case u need. In
his journey through Asiatic Turkey,
Whitman met Marshal Chakir Pasha,
imperial commissioner for reforms in
Anatolia- The story had been widely
told that the marshal, who was at
Erzeroum in October, 1895 at the time
of the Armenian rising, had, like a
human bloodhound, stood, watch in
hand, when asked for orders, and de-
cided that the knocking the Armen-
ians on the head was to continue for
another hour and half-some. YER
sions say two hours. When questioned
in regard to the truth of the story,
the marshal replied that he had never
taken any notice of it, and as Whit
man was going to Erzeroum, he should
make his own inquiries. He found
that the trouble began at Trebizond
two years previously by the Armen-
ian Revolutionary committee firing in
broad daylight on Hamid Pasha, COM
mander of the garrison, and Bakri
Pasha, governor general of Van, who
happened to be in Trebizond at that
time, and was walking with the Per
sian consul general Both pashas were
wounded.
In the interior the Kurdish chiefs
had for centuries lived on friendly
terms with the Armenians, doing all
their business with Armenian mer-
chants and bankers. Gradually a
change came. Strange faces were met
in the towns and the merchants were
as friendly. Russian Armenian jour
nalists from Titles Influenced the Ar
meniana element to revolt. Men APP
peared who gave themselves the name
of ''Fedias," or the Sacrificed for the
country" Among them there was a
notorious Armenian revolutionist. Dan
iel Tschoueh, who among other afro
cities, murdered the representative of
the procureur general of Ka Kava, His
sar Charki, as well as his wife and
children. In some places the Kurds
decided to make clean sweep of the
Armenians. Chakir Immediately went
among them and persuaded the Kur-
dish boys TO remain quiet In Van
there was fighting and the Armenian
Insurgents were driven out and many
killed. After this was done the Arme-
MAN bishop of Van showed Chakir
Pasha telegram he proposed to send
to. the Armenian bishops in Russia, in
which he said that the people had lived
contentedly under Turkish rule for
600 years, that people from abroad
were now fomenting trouble, and
begged him to use his influence to pre-
vent them from coming into the coun-
try. as they could only do the Arme-
mans harm. He was told by Chakir

The Germans along wide stretches

thereby stopping the enemy's main
sources OF information. The hostile
artillery. which in the earlier strug-
giles along the Aisne showed certain
superiority in its firing as a result OF
this Information. Is now working TO
less advantage. The Germans are
making much use OF armored trains.
particularly In ascertaining how far
the railroads are in operation and
to bring up supplies of ammunition
and provisions through dangerous
country. They are also being used to
maintain communication with add
vanced cavalry divisions.
These trains, In many respects. are

for the Germans.
