was the general opinion that the veteran

ber of the team. was on the winning end
in two doubles matches with T. r. Pell

Each one of the cup players acquitted
himself with glory. and it was the opin-
ion of the majority OF the large eaieIy
that the cup committee had made no
mistake in its selection of a team. VIII
liams had the hardest time of all. but he
demonstrated his ability in no uncertain
way for pressed by stiff opponent, he
pulled hard match out of the fire.
Rain Upsets Plans.
Tuesdays rain upset the plans of the
Longwood committee considerably, and
as result there was almost continuous
tennis yesterday. Between the starting
time in the forenoon and sunset. when the
last match was completed. eight singles
matches and eighteen doubles matches
were played. OF course, there was no
question which were the popular attrac-
tions, for Mclaughlin versus Niles and
Williams against Gardner held the gal
leries There were not a few who re-
manned to witness brilliant doubles
match in which the former national cham
pions, Hackett and Alexander. opposed
Fred Inman and Raymond Little success
fully.
Mclaughlin was ever brilliant player
in his match with Niles. His vicious
drives passed Niles time and again when
the latter attempted to go to the net,
and If the latter essayed to play from
the base line he was baff1ed completely
by McLoughlin's light touches. which
barely went over. Once or twice during
the match Niles passed McLoughlin. but
outcome was in doubt. In the opening
set Mclaughlin scored nine points on
service aces and these. coupled with five
placements and twenty-six errors by
Niles, gave him the needed points.
Mclaughlin Careless.
In the second set Mclaughlin was care
less at the outset and ere he knew it
Niles was leading by four games to
three However, Mclaughlin settled
down and took the next six running on
some placement shots down the side lines.
In the concluding set he earned eight
points and received twenty-one on Niles
errors In that set Niles was firing badly
and due to his weakness four double
faults were counted against him.
There were not a few who were sur
prised considerably when Hugh Tallant
and Wallace F. johnson disposed of G.
f Touchard and W. NJ. Washburn in
one of the doubles matches after five
stiff sets. With the sets one all Touchard
and Washburn won the third, but there
after they were outclassed by Johnson's
brilliant play.

Oudernarde, Belgium, Sept. 1S.-Except for
two army corps with their support of marines
and old men, which the Belgian army is keeping
busy around Antwerp the Germans have almost
entirely left the country.
Since last Friday they have been travelling
southwest, their numbers have been given at any
thing from 10000 to 10000. 1t is certain they
have drawn every available to the front,
which, taking into account the German armys
entire lack of support, must be battle-ground of
the greatest consequence in this section of the
war.
If the allies carry this position the rest of the
journey through Belgium will be rout. We have

TERMONDE SET ABLAzE WHEN 100000

BY T. M Kettle.
Special War Correspondent of the New York
American and the London Daily News
Ternonde Belgium, Sept. 1S.-Here is the
story of the wrecking of Termonde, confirmed by
me from dozens of sources:
Following the German entry, the commander
demanded a levy of two million francs This
money was not in the public treasury The bur-
gomaster was not there to save his town, as Braun
saved Client.
General Sommerfed-that is the that
such nimbus of infamy-had chair
brought from an inn into the centre Of the Grand
Palace. He sat down it, crossed his legs and
said:
1T is duty to burn the town.
The inhabitants were allowed two hours to
clear out. Then the soldiers went to work. Their
apparatus consists of small, portable pressure
caisson filed with benzine and fitted with spray
Other witnesses said there were also great
caissons on wheels. With this they sprinkled
doors and ground floors of houses and set fire to
the buildings
Others used sort Of phosphorus paste with
which they smeared the object to be destroyed
They completed their work by fnging hand gre
nads and prepared fuses into the infant flames.
Remembering Louvain and how the burning
of the university had destroyed German prestige
for a century, General SOmmerfeld had evidently
given directions that public and monumental
buildings were to be spared. Thus the museum
and the Hotel de Vile both stand, but right be-
tween them his petroleurs destroyed hotel.
