AMERICANS PREPARED
 TO DEFEND TROPHY

Mclaughlin and Williams to Play
 Australasian Tennis Challengers
 for Possession of Davis Cup.
 New York, Aug. 13.-The Dwight F. Davis cup, emblenatic of the worlds tennis championship, was placed in competition for the thir- teenth time today when R. Norris Williams, 2d, and Maurice F.. Nc Loughlin prepared to defend the tro- phy in the first singles match of the challenge round against the Aus tralasian challengers, Anthony F. Wilding and N. E. Brookes.
 Seats for 1000 spectators were fin- ished last night and railroad officials were prepared to carry that number of tennis enthusiasts to the West Side Tennis club courts at Forest Hills, l.. l., to witness the first matches of one of the international games which the European war failed to stop or post pone until peace again reigned.
 Among the American tennis follow CTS there appears to be a feeling that the defending team will come out of the matches victoriously. Much however, depends on the ability of Williams to defeat Wilding in their singles match today. Mclaughlin has been playing in such remarkable form this season that nothing but victory for him Is expected in his match today with Brookes
 The American doubles team to meet wilding and Brookes tomorrow afternoon Is still in doubt. It was announced early today that Mc- Loughlin's partner for the doubles would not be selected by the Ameri- can cup committee until after the matches today. Mclaughlin, it IS said, favors Thomas c. Bundy, with whom he won the national douples cham pionship, a title the pair stlll hold. Karl H. Behr is the other can didate for the doubles team with NC Loughlin.

that will run from Nome to the Alaska coal fields. This will bring the price of coal down from $20 d ton to about $3 or $4. and it is expected that the Seward Peninsular railroad again will become a steam railroad instead of a dog road.
 For five years coal has been brought from British Columbia and Australia and has been extensively used in thawing out the frozen ore and gold deposits Many of the mining plants use coal also, although much fuel oil is being introduced.

 Locomotives and the ordinary freight passenger cars nave been re- tired in favor of dogs on the Seward Peninsular railroad, the 'furtherest north railroad of the world. The ,oad runs from Nome to Kougarok, eight miles.
 The chief reason for the adoption cf dog power was the government tax of s1o0 a mile per annum. The officers of the road found that 1t was impossible to earn enough to pay the very high price for coal for the loco- motives and the government tax as we'll. and therefore decided to dis continue the trains. This was found to work such a hardship on the miners in the kougarok region, as
