FIRST CAR OF
POTATOES OUT
OF AROOSTOOK
Later This Season Than Last
Crops Look Fine with Es-
Inmates Large as Ever

Bangor Me-, Aug. 21.-The first car
Of potatoes from the crop of the pres
ent season has been shipped out of
Aroostook county. having been deliv-
Maine Central at Northern Maine
Junction Thursday. This car is five
days later in the month than the first
car last year. The shipper of the first
carload is ]. S. Peabody of Houlton,
from whence the car was sent, and
for a number of years he has either
been the first to shop for the season
or very close to the first Last August
E. L. Cleveland of Houlton sent out
a car Aug. 16, ahead of Mr.. Peabody's
shipment.
While the first car marks the be-
ginning of the shipping season it does
not indicate that the shipments will
be heavy for the remainder of the
month, as the potatoes are pretty
green yet and it is estimated that it
will be somewhere about the middle of
September before the digging of the
crop is general in the county.
The potato crop is little late this
year and the plants were slow in COM
ing through the ground In the spring,
but the weather this summer has been
ideal. and they are looking fine. 1t is
estimated by those who are familiar
with the situation that the produce
ton in the country will be equal to,
the record of last season if not In ex-
cess of it.
There were grown in Aroostook
county last year about 100000 bush
els of potatoes, of which about 24,000,
900 bushels were shipped outside, the
rest being retained for seed and home
consumption.
Not only are the potatoes looking
fine, but the county has just harvested
the largest and best crop of hay that
1t has ever known. Hay shipments
have not commenced yet, but will
form an important item a little later.
The Bangor Il Aroostook Railroad is
going to be in better shape than ever
to handle the tremendous crop Of
Aroostook potatoes this year. OF the
225 new cars ordered to facilitate the
shipment of the crop, So have already
been shipped from the shops in Butler,
Pa, where they are being built, and
the rest are being turned out just as
fast SIS possible. They are coming di-
rectly to Maine, as soon as they are
loaded and will be made available for
the shippers.
The five heavy locomotives, designed
especially for the freight business over
the line, are being built as fast as pos
Slhle and are expected to arrive here
about the last of September or the
first of October, before the heaviest Of
the shipping season commences.

The Pope's Testament
Nothing is officially known about
the late Pope's testament, but the
Giornale D'Italia, says it is drawn In
humble. pious language. 1t recon-
mends his successor to grant his sis
tiers pension of $50 monthly each,
but does not mention his niece, Gilda
Parolin. 1t also expressed the desire
that a pension of 50, monthly be-
granted to his valet.
The newspaper adds that the late
Pontiff asks that his secretaries,
Monsignor Giovanni Bressan and
Monsignor Giuseppe Pescini. be pro-
NOTED to canonries.
The will contains a recommendation
that the burial be a modest one in
the crypt of ST. Peters and it con-
eludes by invoking Gods forgiveness
for the sins which the testators may
have committed, especially as Pom
tiff.
The Corriere D'Italia today publish
es an interview with DR.. Marchiafava
concerning the illness and death of
the Pope. The doctor says, among
other things, that during the last week
of his life, the Pope suffered keenly
because of the war which is rayaging
Europe DR.. Marchiafava endeavored
to encourage his patient but of no
avail. Every time he was informed of
further armed encounters, the Pontiff
became sadder The news hurt him
physically and depressed him mental
ly. Nevertheless, he was strong when
death came. His malady reached him

1t was understood here today that the

POPE'S SISTER is
NOT DEAD AS
WAS REPORTED
Error in Transmission of Gable
Alive But Much Shocked
At Pope's Death

London, Aug. 21.-An erroneous
statement was made public in London
late last night and autographed TO
New York that Anna Sarto, sister of
the late Pope Plus X, had died in
Rome shortly after the passing away
of her brother. Shock caused by this
Pontiff's end was given as the cause.
1t appears today that this mistaken
report was the result of Geographic
error which occurred in the trans
mission of a dispatch from Rome. The
Pope's sister is alive, although suf-
fering from shock. She was already
indisposed when the Pontiff was taken
ill and yesterday she was obliged to
take to her bed. She is under the care
of DIR. Amici.

Eat Coblenz we had to make our
way through enthusiastic crowds, who
were watching the passage of trains
loaded with Belgian prisoners. We
constantly met ambulances filled with
wounded soldiers
Treated With Courtesy
only at rare intervals were we re-
quested to show our papers and when
it was seen that we were Americans
we were greeted with studied cour-
tesy.
We arrived in Cologne Tuesday
night after having run ESQ miles dur
ing the day. We pushed on to Cree
field. The highway was congested with
guns, ambuiances and munitions of
war of all kinds, and only once did
we seem to be in real danger. This
was when two soldiers pointed their
guns menacingly at our heads as our
deliberate chauffeur took his time in
stopping on their orders.
This last stage of our journey was the
most difficult of all. AS we were travel
ing on war highway IN the immediate
rear of a great battlefield. we were stop
ped dozens of times. Our success In
getting through was due largely to the
resourcefulness of our chauffeur. Among
other things which helped US was little

order out, of which We were ignorant,
had been issued by Emperor William
that German flags were not to be used

vice of military officials and members OF
the royal family. For two days we had
been protected by flag We had no right
to use. and this together with my Prus-
sian cap and military coat worn by my
niece, accounted for our success in avoid
ing explanations and securing gasoline.
Judging from my trip and the expert
ences of Miss Stone in Munich, Ameri-
cans are as safe in Germany as in New
York. We did not parade the American
flag because we knew that many persons
were seeking the protection OF the Stars
