CANAL COMMERCE
 ID OPEN AUG. 15
WAR VESSEL WILL BE SENT THROUGH TO INACCURATE
 THE REAL OPENING.
Vessels Drawing No More Than Thirty Feet of Water Will Be Abe to Pass Safely.

Washington, D. C., July 23.-Open- ing of the Panama canal to the worlds commerce on August 15 next was announced tonight by Secretary Garrison. Probably the first vessel to pass through the great waterway will be the Cristobal, a war depart ment steamer, now at Co,on.
 There will be no formalities in connection with the epoch marking event, all ceremonies being left for the official opening when the interna- tional fleet passes through the canal in March, 1915. MT. Garrison's an. aouncement fellows:
 The Panama canal will be open for commerce to vessels not needing more than thirty feet of water on and after August 15, 1914.
 ''The official opening of the canal, as heretofore announced. will be in the month of March, 1915. An appro- priate announcement will be made when a greater depth of water than thirty feet has been secured.
 "On the 18th cf August. Colonel Goethals will inaugurate the commer- cial service by sending a government boat through the canal There will be no ceremonies incident to the oc- casion, but American newspapers who may desire to have representatives present may do so The others who hn ha ttrft1 br determined between now and the time mentiCned."
 When the Cristobal steams from it's slip to the Atlantic entrance of the canal it will mark the conc usion by American enterprise of the greatest engineering task ever undertaken which has severely taxed the abilities of the army engineers under Colonel Goethals.
 Some things remain to be done to perfect the waterways. The channel through Culebra cut must be deep ened and widened so that it will not be necessary for the great liners and battleships to pass through the tricky slides" at Cucharacha and Bold Hill in single file.
 While with the thirty feet of water in the canal some of the great dread, noughts might pick their way through after August 15. yet Secretary Dan, iels said tonight that he would not be likely to order any such movement except in an emergency. He will wait until there is more water in the great ditch.

remarks. Caillaux whirled around and began to address the courtroom. He was called to order by the judge but continued to recite the circum- stances of his divorce.
 Both he and Nine Caillaux, he said, that the Thy Jo" letters formed one of trilogy and that it's publication would be followed by the publication of the other two.
 "Gentlemen," he turned to the jury. 'I am a profoundly unhappy man. l had been profoundly happy man since my second marriage"
 Mime. CaillauX's sobs at this stage redoubled and became painful to hear.
 Are you going" asked M Cailaux of Mme. Gueydan, to force us <o trumpet forth in this place all those things that we avoided at the time of the divorce?'
 Mme Gueydan did not reply.
 M. Caillaux left the stand.
 Whatever you may have done forgive you and salute you" said he, lowing low as he passed her.
 The court hummed with expecta- tion when the ex-premier, Jean Louis Barthou, took the stand. After he had recorded his high opinion of the integrity and patriotism of Gaston Calmette, he denied having told M. Caillaux that Mme. Gueydan had him two letters. He told of steps taken at the request of the premier, Doumergue, to stop M Calmette from publishing a number of documents, notably that Fabre re- port. Calmette at first refused to listen to him, but NJ. Briand, the for mer misister of justice, then joined him in his insistence.
 If l do not publish the Fabre," said M Calmette to me, "Barthou continued, "I have nothing more; my campaign is over"
 M Caillaux then confronted him as the ex-premier stood at the bar. Bar thou reaffirmed that he had never said Mme. Gueydan had shown the aetters. Caillaux was equally positive that he had.
 There can be no question of the I$ood faith of both of you gentlemen, but your minds could not have been working the same way that day"

Wilson Expresses Regret.

President Wilson's reply:
 My Dear Friend: Your letter of the twentieth of July brings to me, think. more kinds of regret than any other letter l ever read-regret, first of all, that the country should lose the invaluable services of such a man as l and all fairminded men who know you at all, know you to be; regret that l should have brought upon you so unpleasant an experience in which you were treated with gross and manifest injustice; regret that such circumstances should seem even for the moment to be associated with appointment to high office under the great government of the United States. representing a generous, fair and honorable people; regret that the organization of a great banking sys- tenn should be so embarrassed and ob- structed.
 You need not think that anything in the present circumstances have embarrassed me in the least. It causes me not the slightest embar- rassment. | have no moment of hesi- tation or flagging enthusiasm in standing by men whom | honor and believe ia. You may leave my feel ings (for myself) out of the reckon ing. The aspect of this matter which seems to me cf gravest concern and consequence is that the choice or members of the federal reserve board of the new banking system should have been made an occasion of paru- san alignment and action. The ad- verse report on your nomination, to which you justly refer as unfair, ls, of c-urse, not to be charged to the feeling or action of the senate of the United States or to anything TOT which that great body as a whole can ba aeld responsible. The report is sionnd only by the minority members of the committee and by only two members of the majority who have acted with them. There is no reason to believe that either in its temper or in it's conclusions that report rep resents the attitude of the senate itself. wish most heartily that the inauguration of the new national banking system system conceived and enacted with no element of partl' sanship in it's objects or proVlsMhs might have been free from this uhlor' tuaate and ominous incident.
 q believe that the judgment anu desire of the whole country cry out for a new temper in affairs. lhe time has come when discriminations against particular classes or men sr,ould be absolutely laid aside ana discarded as unworthy of the couh sels eff a great people. The effort TOT genuine social justice, for peace ths naace which is founded on common understandings and for prosperity the prosperity of cooperation an. noa,tual trust and confidence, shouie tbe united effort without partlsai preiudice or class antagonlsm.

Outside OF the contests between
Great Britain and the United States
it is doubtful IL any better polo had
been played than was on tap today
A real war was being waged instead
of a practice skirmish, and the mem
beers Of the Red team were fighting
from the first bell to impress the
onlookers with the fact that there
are other experts Of the game In this
country besides the big three. They
succeeded beyond question. and more
