Toxic. Aug. 1S.-The government
is preparing for war. The fleet is
manned ready for action.
The army has been made ready and
several corps are prepared to go on
board the transports, which are fully
provisioned and have steam up.
There is no doubt here that the
ultimatum delivered to Germany will
be denied and that immediate HOSTILE
ties will follow.
The ultimatum, which has been
transmitted to Berlin, demands the
withdrawal of German warships from
the Orient, or If not withdrawn they
be interned for the war, and the
evacuation Of Kiaochou.
1t gives Germany until Sunday, Aug.
23, to begin such withdrawal and un.
til Sept. Is to actually comply with
the demand.
After the ultimatum was sent
| George w. Guthrie, the American am
~bassador, was summoned to the pal
| ace by the Japanese foreign minister
| Takaaki Kato, and the situation was
presented to him.
He was told the action of the Japa
nese government was in the interest
of peace in the Orient.
Trading Vessels in Danger.
The governments position, Guthrie
was informed, was hat the presence
of German warships in Far Eastern
waters and the maintenance there Of
a German base is detrimental &c
peace in the Orient, inasmuch as trad
ing vessels are always in danger o.
capture by the Germans.
Guthrie was asked to emphasize tC
his own government that Japan hat
no territorial designs herself. Thu
territorial colonies she desires turned
back to China.
The foreign minister gave the mos
profuse assurances of Japan's friend
ship to the United States and declar
ed that under no circumstances will
anything be permitted that would In
any way offend the government of the
United States.
Owing TO doubts whether communi
cation with Berlin was assured ia
pan, in order to insure the arrival o
the ultimatum, forwarded IL to Ber
lin by six channels, including Wash
ington, London and Stockholm. This
government also notified Count vo
Reed, German ambassador to Japan
and likewise retarded the time limi
for a reply until Aug. 90.

Comparison of the infields Of the
Boston Braves and the worlds cham
pion Athletics is likely to result in an
other surprise to the wise ones of
the game.
Again, as in the outfeld, we dis
cover the Athletics the stronger,
much stronger in Offense, a little
stronger in defense, a trile better
on the bases, but in no case strong
enough to, claim to outclass Stallings'
men.
The strength of the two teams ap-
pears to be distributed so that they
do not come in contrast as strongly
as most teams do. Both are strong
at second and short, the difference
in first is not overwhelming, but the
Athletics show the most pronounced
superiority at third. A study of the
third base situation does not make
it hopeless for Boston.
To be inferior in defense in posi-
ton where the fewest chances hap
pen is fortunate.
Yet, considered from every stand
point attack, defense, batting, run
ming, throwing, fielding and inside
work, Boston's infield shows an aver
age of .673 against the Athletics .677.
This advantage is not enough to
make the Athletics the odds on favor

attack and in driving in runs, is over
whelming and must be Offset either
by Boston's defensive work around
second base or by pitching.
Let us study them man for man.
McInnis is today the ranking first
baseman Of the country. He is strong
in every department of the game, a
desperate, determined, nervy player.
That is his one fault and his great
danger in such a series. If hard
pressed McInnis is likely to break
through sheer over anxiety to do
things. He is not quite tall enoUghfor
the ideal first baseman, but he over
comes that by sheer brilliancy and
determination.
Schmidt reminds me more of
Frank Chance, during Chances earl
Ter career, than any first basemen 1
ever have seen. He has the same
fault-slowness in finding the bag
and turning to take throws. Remem-
Der Meanwhile and EVers are about
as rapid in getting the ball away once
it touches their hands as any two

are the two greatest second basemen
in the world. Just now Collins is near
his best form and Evers has had a
remarkable season and is finishing
strong.

Washington, Jan. 3.-What PROB

most important ruin discovered in
South America since the days of the
Spanish conquest-the discovery of
the ruins of the city of Machu Picchu,
the cradle Of the Inca empire, on
the top of the Peruvian Andes-was
brought about by the chance meeting
of an expedition under the auspices Of
the National Geographic society and
Yale university with a Peruvian In

known today when the society made
public the preliminary report of Pro-
fessor Bingham Of Yale, director of
the expedition. .

interested and a few hours later the
ruins were discovered.
While it net only is larger and con-
:ains more edifices than any other
ruin discovered in Peru, except Cuz-

Picchu has the additional advantage
from a archaeological viewpoint OF
not having been occupied by descend
ants. which accounts for it's not having

Bingham, "is essential a city Of re-

CITRUS CANKER DEVASTATING
EAST COAST GROVES

Palatka, Oct. 12-Prof. Spencer,
United States demonstration agent
for the East Florida district, was
here Saturday en- route to Gaines
vile from Dade county. He has been
down there for week or two in
specting the citrus canker situation
and says it is serious. The disease Is
difficult to recognize in it's early
stages, and even the experienced
man would take it for scab. Every
known form of spray has been used
to kill it but without success. The
only remedy SO far is to burn the
tree. The canker to this time has
confined it's operations largely to
grapefruit and tangerines, the or
ange not yet suffering.
The situation Is SO critical that
the governor has ordered $1,000
from the State funds for this pur-
pose, the Florida Citrus Exchange
has given $4,000, the citizens Of MI
ami and Dade county have contrib
uted several thousand dollars, the
growers in convention at Gaines
vile recently voted to assess the
groves of the State and raise $50,-
900 IL necessary. So far over $780,
900 young trees in nurseries and
several thousand bearing trees have
been burned. The infected trees
are sprayed with Kerosene and then
set on fire. There are good many
men at work inspecting and Destroy
ing trees, but they cannot do so
without the consent OF owners, and
as usual here and there growers
make strenuous opposition and have
had inspectors arrested for trespass-
ing. Several inspectors were before
the county Judge in Miami last week
on complaints from parties who re-
fused to join in the crusade against
| the disease.

A LAAGE PROPORTION
COME TO STAY

Jacksonville, Oct. 13.-Out of
nearly $50 people who came to Flor
ida one day last week over the At
lantic Coast Line and the Southern
Railway 80 per cent of them came
in on one-way tickets, indicating
that they are here for good long
time, if not permanently; and the
additional feature of the story be-
ing that most of them stated that
they are in Florida now for their
first time, after many years of ex-
pectant enjoyment. OF these home
seekers, many are people of moder-
ate means who will stay for the
winter, and some are investors look
ing for an opportunity to profit by
winter in the State. They scat
tered, after a day spent here, to
practically every part of Florida,
about a third of the arrivals hold
ing tickets to the Tampa and Mana
tee sections.
