territory as she started, she will be
engaged in defending herself against
invasion. l am of the opinion that
within ninety days we will be export

any very great extent.

other fourth in corn.

PASSES AWAY

Rome, Aug. 2O.-Pope PiusX died
at 1:2O o'clock this morning. He had
been ill for several days, but alarming
symptoms did not develop until We'd

day DR.. Marchiafava and DR.. Amici

he said:
"In ancient times the pope by a
word might have stayed the slaugh-
ter, but now he is impotent."
Prayers were said by thousands
and church bells sounded when the
sacrament was exposed upon all the
affairs.
When the court learned of the
pope's condition there was the deep
est concern. King Victor Emmanuel
personally informed Queen Helena
and the news was communicated to
the queens mother.
Extreme JUNCTION was administered
by Mgr. Zampini, sacristan to his hol-
mess, amid a touching scene. The
pope's sisters and his niece were ov-
ercome with grief. Cardinal Merry
del Val knelt by the side of his bed,
where other cardinals joined him,
members of the household intoning
prayers.
The dying pope, in moment of
lucidy, said:

We must not dspend entirely upon
the Federal government for aid, bn.
must help ourselves. What part
ea0uld I play in this situation? is
the question that naturally confronts
everv farmer and business man of the
South. Farmers store your seed cot
ton, 1t possible, at home in your cot
on houses. Have all of your cotton
insured so as to protect the banker
=" merchant who has your note, or
has furnished you your supplies for
'he year. Do not sell your cotton be-
low IL cents per pound. If you will
hold it long enough you can get that
for 1t will be worth twelve cents as
soon as the European vessels begin
to take cotton to Liverpool. Cus
down expenses and ask the man who
has stood by you this far to wait
little longer on you and hold your cot
ton until you can get enough for it
to pay all your debts, then sell it, if
yo- are afraid it will not go higher.
Bonded cotton warehouses must be
built in every county in the State for
the farmers to put their cotton In
and get warehouse receipts which
they can give as collateral for a loan.
Every business man and farmer
should lend his efforts towards build
ing these cotton warehouses.
We, the banker, merchant and
farmer, are all in the same powder
magazine, and no one of us can af-
ford to strike the match, lest all 90
up in smoke. If the large banker will
wait on the small fellow, he can in
turn wait on the supply merchant,
and the merchant or small banker can
wait on the farmer. 1t will not pay
the large banker to call the loan of
the small banker if he can not meet
that loan. neither will it be wise for
the small banker or supply merchant
to call on the farmer for what he
owes unless he can sell his cotton Cor
enough to pay the entire debt, if they
do, they all will stand to lose Prac-
tlcally every obligation of this year
made by the farmer can and will be
discharged if he is given time and not
closed out before he can sell his cot
ton at reasonable price.
This is the opportunity of the con-
tury for our cotton mills to place
their goods in new markets, as they
will have their most formidable rival,
Germany, out of the way for quite a
while. The mill can afford to pay
twelve cents for cotton if they are
assured that their competitors will
have to pay the same.
Supply and demand will eventually
determine the price of cotton-if ths
New York and other cotton exchanges
are kept closed. The cotton ex-
changes, as previously operated, were
the greatest enemy of the farmer and
the cotton manufacturer. The actual
cotton can not be supplied to the mil.
and exporters any faster that it is |
picked, ginned and marketed, but the
cotton exchanges can sell more cot
ton, and thereby glut the market, in
five minutes than is spun by the cot
ton mills in six months.
The war in Europe is going to be
localized in Germany and Austri., |

Honolulu Friends Hope Cali
fornian Will Win Singles
Title This Year

Honolulu tennis fans who have
seen both Maurice Mclaughlin and
William Johnston in action know
that Mclaughlin must have been go
ing at a great pace yesterday when
he trimmed little Johnston three
straight sets in the Longwood, Mas
sachusetts. singles series.
Johnston hasn't got the tremen-
dous energy that the national cham
pion possesses, but he is a great
player and one who rarely makes a
break either in Judgment or execu-
ton. -s=--.
II looks as If Mclaughlin will be at
the top of his game when he meets
Wilding or Brooks-it will probably
be one of these two Australlans-in
the Davis cup finals.
The Davis cup, emblematic of world
supremacy in tennis, won't leave the
United States next month because of
a lack of practice or preparation The
eountry's leading players, after many
tryouts, will be gathered in defend
ing team, and they will be given suf-
ficient time in which to practice for
the challenge round in the interna-
tional matches, which will be played
on the turf courts of the West Side
Club at Forest Hills, l.. l., August 10,
IA and 10.
The cup committee announced not
long ago that only the hardest kind
of work would keep the Davis cup
here, and every ranking player, in
Guiding present and past champions,
answered the committees call to get
busy.
Five Nations In Elimination Rounds
Five nations-England, Australia,
France, Canada and Belgium-are in
the elimination rounds. The winner
of these international matches will
meet the United States for the final
possession of the Davis cup. 1t is al
most certainty that Australia will
be the ultimate challenger. Australia
nominated a powerful combination in
A. F. Wilding, Norman Brooks and
Stanley Doust. Tennis authorities
generally agree that Australia. should
beat the other countries in the. pre-
liminaries.
But that raises the question as to
what kind of asteam the United states
can muster to repe1 the strong Anti
podeans Anthony Wilding. Australians
leader, is champion of the world He
twice defeated Maurice Mclaughlin,
our best. Their last meeting was the
finals of the all-comers' championship
at Wimbledon, England. last Fourth
of July. Wilding won in three
straight sets. Sc, 6-3, 1913. Nc
Loughlin, worried and overturned
from the Davis cup matches, said he'd
like to play Wilding again. He'll get
that chance this year. Brooks and
Doust compare fayorably with the
leading players in this country.
. 1t is readily seen that Uncle Sam
has his work already cut out for him
to prevent the Davis trophy from fol-
lowing the polo cup abroad this year.

MLOUGHLIN'S splendid FORM 1
BIG ASSET IN DAVIS CUP PLAY

Naturally Maurice Mclaughlin. the
California comet will again be the
mainstay of the American team. He
has been playing tennis nearly all
winter on the California clay courts.
Bundy's decision to try for the Da-
Wis team this wear was a pleasing
surprise To the cup committee. Bum
DIV with Mclaughlin holds the ma
tional doubles title. Bundy didn't try
for the International team last year.
Mclaughlin teamed with Harold
Hackett and this combination won all
its matches except one In Australia.
The committeeman won't state whe-
ther Bundy will supplant Hackett-
the tryouts will determine that-but
many believe that Bundy and Nc
Loughlin are the strongest doubles
pair this country can produce.
Williams Likely TO Make Team
After Mclaughlin. r. Norris Will
Jams. the Harvard star who played
so sensationally in the international
games last year, stands an excellent
chance of making the defending team.
Williams, playing in his first interna-
tional tournament in 1913. had the
distinction OF winning all his matches
except one. That one was merely an
exhibition with Parks TO complete the
scheduled number OF games with
England after this country had al
ready won the title.
The committee will find it difficult
to pick other members of the team.
For one. there's Lindley Murray, the
17-year-old California youth, whose
work in the East during the past
month has been revelation. Mur-
ray. although youngster. has been
spoken of as a Davis cup candidate.
The committee Intends to keep
sharp watch on his playing the next
few weeks with view of determin-
ing Just what the young Westerner 10
really capable of doing. AT West
chester last week Murray was paired
with r. Norris Williams for the pur-
pose of seeing how the youngster
handled himself in fast company.
William Johnston is perhaps even
better.
Besides Murray there is q long list
of ranking players, all Of whom may
develop into formidable candidates
for the international team. The cup
committee. however, intends to pro-
coed slowly. picking out the leading
players and then pitting them against
each other so that only the very
strongest racquet wiefders wills Anal9
" earn the honor OF representing
this country in the world games.

HE victory for the American oars
men in the Grand Challenge Cup
event at the Henley regatta has cut
down England's lead in the interna-
tional competitions to one. America
now has two victories to England's
three. John Bulls victories have
been In the relay races of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania in which the
English collegtans scored over the
Americans; the British golf tourna-
ment in which Uncle Sans represen-
tatives were eliminated and the
games for the polo cup.
While the United States has gained
victories only in court tennis and
rowing the latter is an especially
sweet one. IL is the first time the
Grand Challenge CUP has been won
by an American crew although sew
eral had tried for it before. Column
bia sent the only other crew which
won at Henley. That was in 1878
when the Blue and White four won
the Visitors Cup.
The success of tho American oars
men helped Uncle Sam out consider
ably in the tally of international
events, for had the American crews
failed. the best the United States
could do for the 1914 series would be
to get a tie. To do even this II would
be necessary for America to defend
successfully the Davis tennis trophy,
the Americas Cup. and to lift the
Harmsworth motorboat trophy Vic
tories in these events will now put
the United States in the lead over
England for 1914.
Competition for the Davis Cup
promises to be especially keen.
Whether England or any other ma
ton will be able to take the trophy
from the American holders is doubt
full In the minds of the experts
While the chaIlengers will have to
come to this country for the trophy,
the United States will have to send
its motorboats to the other side for
the Harmsworth trophy. American
motorboat men are confident of
bringing the cup back with them and
scoring the second victory of the year

LEO FRlEDE AND III.
/ HIS SPEEDY BOAT
MERMAID WINNERS

For the second time in two years
Canada has failed to lift the trophy
emblematic of the international sail
ing canoe title.
Il Leo Ffiede of the Manhattan Boat
Club of New York defended the cup
on July Is. twice defeating the chai-
lenger, Ralph Britton of the Canaan
oque Canoe and Motor Boat Club of
GananoQue, Ont. Britton was the
challenger last year and Friede the
defender.
The racing on Gravesend bay was
a run, reach and a beat for five
miles In each race, morning and after
noon. The wind was fairly steady,
about ten miles an hour from the
Northwest. In the. mornings race
Friede's margin was five minutes.
In the afternoon he covered the
course in the elapsed time of 2 hours
minutes IS seconds, finishing nearly
III minutes ahead of Britton. Two
out of three races was to decide the
winner.
