Powell had no chance against Brookes
The latter. if he had extended himself

was the best shown in the matches
| Opening of the western tournament was
| robbed of great interest by the late ar.
rival of most of the out-of town entrants
and the attraction Of the international
events. Only few tournament matches
| were played, and despite those and a
| numter of defaults. the big field was
reduced very little.
Though the international matches today
had no bearing on the Davis cup tourna-
| ment. they still were under rules of the
tournament. and enforcement Of these
| rules disclosed the fact that there was
considerable friction among members OF
the Canadian team.
H. G. Mayes of Toronto asked to be
, allowed to play Brookes In one Of the
contests, saying that for two years he
had been member Of the Dominion s
team. but had never hit a ball in Davis
| cup play. The rules. however. forced
the players to meet as they were nomi-
mated or oblige the team making a
change to forfeit.

Powell declined to let Mayes take his

LAKE FOREST. ILL.,. July 25-Au.tra-
lasia today made IT a clean sweep over
Canada in the Davis cup series. In two
final matches. Norman E. Brookes defeat
ed r. B. Powell. Go, 6-1. 6-3. and An
thony Wilding won from B. p Schwen-
gers. 10. 6-3 G-1. AS in the singles of
Thursday. when Brookes beat Schweneers
and Wilding won from Powell the Cana
dams were outclassed. In none of the
five matches of the series did they win a
set.
Today's events had no effect on the
Davis cup SERIES but every game was
hard fought. and there were more thrills
for the big crowd than in the first three
matches
SchWengers gave "a much better ac-
count Of himself against Wilding than he
did against Brookes. and at the start
OF his match seemed to have a chance
to win. The marvellous accuracy of the
tall New Zealander. however. triumphed
IN the end. Wilding, perhaps taken aback
BY the unexpected form displayed BY
the Canadian in the opening games. al
lowed Schwengers to deuce the set. but
he won. after a hard contest. and there
after kept Schwengers too far behind to
be dangerous. The Canadian was forced
all over the court by Wilding, while the
latter, barely moving. did practically all
his work with his wrist and racquet
SchwengerS at one time changed some
what from his tactics of the preceding
matches and played near the net, but his
success was negligible.

Kaiser will face n revolution at home
where the Socialists are supporting the
war only because they firmly believe
Germany was forced into it.
One great result of the present battle

some of them have been destroyed. AS
= result the armies now have an al
frontier TO the fortifiCations OF Paris.
The individual spirit of the French
troops is far better than any one eX-
pected. They failed to show much on
the retreat on Paris. and forced the
English regulars to do the brunt of the
fighting in covering the retreat. But
now that they have assumed the often
sive. they are covering themselves with
glory. the chief difficulty being in re-
strsining them until the artillery can
clear the Wev for a general charge.
Artillery Proves Effective.
And If the Germans sprung a surprise
with their enormous siege guns which
demolished the Liege and Namur forti-
fications and have wrought great exc
Cution against many of the French
forts. the French have met them more
than half way with their seVenty-fiVe
millimetcr artillery. In action these
new pieces have been wonderfully effec-
the German heavy artillery in every
duel to date. and have had the advan-
tege of being easily masked.
Reports from the battle now in prog

been brought up all along the French

pean Struggle.

. ROME, Sept. I7.-Strong forces of
troops are held in reserve not alone in
Rome, but in nearly all the larger
Italian cities to quell spreading anti
neutrality demonstrations. There seems
to be general concerted movement,
the source of which remains hidden, to
force the hand of the government,
make it repudiate its treaty obligations,
and join the allies.
The government, up to the present,
has refused to be impressed with the
agitation, and has constantly insisted
that the original proclamation of neu-
trahty is to be rigidly adhered to.
However, there are extremely strong
runors that changes in the cabinet are
impending, and if they come it is ex-
pected the government will be forced
to take definite action.
Newspapers today print stories de-
claring the Italian military attache at
Berlin has left there, after vigorously
Cbjec:ing to severe Criticism of Italy's
attitude by high court officials. None
of these stories is confirmed by the

BERLIN via The Hague, Sept. Ii
The general stan today declared the
French attack is spent, and that the
German positions are well maintained.
1t explains that. because Of the rapidity
of the German invasion, the troops
tired, and it was deemed best TO fall
back on intrenched positions so they
could rest and fill the gaps in the vari-
Gus regiments. Meanwhile all needed
supplies are being concentrated at the
front. The official announcement de-
clares that the French are everywhere
a5ain on the defensive, and that at
no point of the line are the German
forces threatened. The investment of
Paris. it is stated, while temporarily
halted. will take place when the present
campaign is completely worked out.

UNITED STATES ACTS
ALONE WITH TURKEY

High officials made II plain today that
the United States is going 1t alone"
in protesting TO Turkey against proposed
abrogation October l of capitulatioDs
giving foreigners important privileges
in Turkey.
The United states Is acting independ-
entity of and not in concert with pro-
testing European powers and will prob
ably postpone, until after the European
war a decisive response from Turkey
to avoid becoming involved in a Euro
pean imbroglio. Further exchanges of
notes with the Ottoman empire is
deemed certain.
Turkeys reply to the curt protest
sent by Secretary OF State Bryan to
Amba ssador Morgenthau was forecast
in diplomatic circles today. since the
Turkish government contends that
American rights are amply sareguarded
by Turkish laws.
The Secretary of State mas placed the
United States on record as firmly op-
posing abrogation of the capitulations.
The Cablegram sent to Ambassador
Morgenthau follows:
You will bring to the attention OF the
Ottoman government that the Govern
merit of the United States docs not
aCQUiesCe in the endeavor of the i'm
perial government to set aside the capt.
tulations.
'Furthermore. this Government does
not recognize that the Ottoman govern
mcnt has a right to abrogate the capi-
tuIations. or that its action TO this
end being unilateral, can have any eff
feet upon the rights and privileges en-
ioyed under the Capitulatory conven-
tions.
You will further state that the
United States reserves for the present
the discussion of the grounds upon
which its refusal to acquesce in the
action OF the Ottoman government Is
based and also reserves the right to
make further representations in this
matter at a later date
