Makes UNIQUE Golf Record.

A unique record was established by
Frederic Davis while playing the June
handicap last week at the Columbia
club in halving three matches out of
four In the first match, playing
against George James, who started him
four and half up. he halved the match
by halving the last three holes. In the
next match against James he lost by
losing the seventeenth and eighteenth
holes This threw him into the. con-
sola ton against Howard Cobey, who
started him two and half up, and
Wednesday he halved this match and
then again Thursday halved the play
off.
Davis established another freak rec
ord some time ago on the thirteerlt h
hole at Columbia, when he holed out
his tee shot on the flight the ball GO
ing into the cup without touching
ground and wedginz in between the
iron pole and the cup.

N. T. Whitaker Gives Splendid Idea
of Situation at End of
Recent Match.

With the mercury at its present alti-
tude serious chess becomes more a
labor than a pastime and even the
most hardened ones take to two-mov-
ers. pinochle and anecdotes. This con-
dition may serve as an excuse for
what follows, to wit. a few extras
from a poem. entitled THE Chesse
Play composed by one Nicholas Bret
on and published in the phoenix Nest"
in the year 1893
THE KING
The King himselfe is haughtie care
Which Overlooketh all his men;
And when he seeth how they fare
He steps among them and then:
Whom when his foes presume to checke
His servants stand to give the neeke.

which seldom serve except by hap:
And yet these Pawnes can lay their traines
To catch great man In trap;
So that l see sometime. groome.

This has happened to me not infre-

to do after the strings are once

Dressing for the Game.
In dressing for the game. simply keep
two points in mind. First, you should
carry as little weight in clothing as is
comparable with decency and comfort
Your underSarments should be as light
and as scanty as possible: your shirt
as easy and unbinding as you can get.
with abbreviated sleeves preferably.
You will want no hindrance In the free
swing OF your arms.
Flannel trousers of light weight
snugly belted, loose enough not to bind
and in no way liable to trip, are the
best, in my opinion, though a few
PLAYERS still affect knick ckerbockers-my er

WILL SWEDEN ENTER WAR ?
Question Worries Allies, VINO Think
Nation Will Take Part in Strug-
gle Shortly.

London, Sept. 14.-What will Swe-
den do?
This is a question being asked with
increasing frequency here.
No one knows why Sweden should
do anything. But, that she will do
something shortly, favoring one side
or the other in the great war, seems
to be an established opinion in the
ally countries.
It is undeniable that popular opin-
ion, based on more or less reliable in
formation, is that Sweden shortly will
throw in her lot with Germany. In
vestigation in diplomatic circles de-
velops these facts:
Germany is doing her best to bring
Sweden into the war.
There is a party in Sweden that IA
vors Germany and is willing to have
the Swedish army help the Germans.
The war party in Sweden is trying
to create popular sentiment against
Russia, reminding the Swedes that
Russia took Finland from Sweden.
The chief outstanding fact is that
Sweden's democracy is being severely
tested on the war question. II this
democracy succeeds, Sweden will not
enter the war.

ALLIES TO SPEND
BILLION IN j. 6. A.
ANGLo-FRENCH col MINI SION
WOULD BORROW VAST SUM
TO PAY FOR SUPPLIES.
REQUIRE MUNITIONS OF WAR
England and France Are Prepared to
Pay in Gold for American Products
BANKERS Express Opinions
AS to Big Deal.

New York, Sept 14.-The present
plan of the joint Anglo-French f1nan-
cial commission, it was reported is to
borrow $1,O0O,OeO,O00 in the United
States on straight British and French
government bonds without any collat-
eral whatever.
If this vast sum Of money is OBJ
tanned, it was said, it is to be spent,
to the last cent, in the United States,
in payment of wheat, cotton, meat and
other commodity shipments including
munitions of war. 1t will, therefore, in
the opinion of financial authorities, be
classified as a commercial loan.
Whether the neutrality of the Unit
ed States would be questioned, in case
the bankers financing the mammoth
loan should accept straight British
and French government notes as their
security, has been given serious con-
sideration. 1t was said that the finan-
ciers familiar with the plan had every
reason to belive that the Washington
administration would not interfere.
Bankers Express Opinions.
The foregoing was the unanimous
opinion of many of the scores of prom
inent bankers from New York and the
chief cities Of the country, who have
visited the commission at it's headquar-
ters here during the three days of its
stay in this city. AS to it's correctness,
the members Of the commission de-
clined positively to comment. All that
the commission cared to publish as au-
thOritative was voiced by Lord Read
ing, it's chairman, who received news
papermen.
eve are not in a position to make
a statement at the present time" Lord
Reading said, because we are study
ing the conditions in New York and
elsewhere in relation to American eX-
change on London and Paris"
Require War Munitions.
Here is the reported attitude of the
commission as gathered by bankers
who have talked with the commission
ers during their stay here:
The credit of Great Britain and
France has never been questioned.
They are able to pay for anything they
promise to pay for Their bonds are
the standard of world investment.
These countries require only one
thing from the United States-muni-
tions Of war. True, they would like to
have a great many other things
wheat, cotton, corn, meats, manufac-
tured goods, thousand and one differ
ent articles-but they can exist with
out some of them and the others they
can buy elsewhere, if necessary. But
the one thing these countries need
war munitions-they are prepared to
pay for in gold, if they have to. And
they will pay in gold rather than sub
nit to terms that they think are oner-
Gus in establishing a credit here.

London, Sept. 14.-By one of those
battering offensives, which although
costly in men and munitions have in
variably been successful, Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's army has at
last set foot on the Rovno-Petrograd
railway between Wilma and Dvinsk. The
whole Austro German forces have
been striving to gain this railway
since the fall Of the Polish fortresses.
The offensive, which began toward
the end of last week, was carried on
from three directions, from Dvinsk
and the railway on either side of the
town, while further south the invad-
ers advanced toward Wilma.
Russians Forced Back.
The Russians, before superior
forces supplied with the usual mass
of artillery, were forced back to the
lake district which the railway pene-
trates and are now making a stand
there.
simultaneously, the Germans push

ConstantinopIe Low.

Athens, Sept. 14.-(Via Paris. AN
American citizen of standing in Ath~
ems has received advices from Con
stantinople which he says are trust
worthy, that the situation of the Turk
ish army and government is unfavor-
able. According to this information,
the position of the Turkish forces
defending the Dardanelles is precari-
Gus.
Turkeys position at sea also is de-
scribed as disadvantageous. The for
mer German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
lau, renamed the Sultan Selim and
Medullu, are said to have been inca
pacitated while the Russian fleet preys
on Turkish shipping.
Dissatisfaction Reported.
According to this information, Turk
ish affairs are under the control Of a
triumvirate with autocratic powers
consisting of Enver Pasha, minister of
war; Falaat Bey, minister of the inte-
rior, and Bedri Bey, chief of police Of
Constantinople. Dissatisfaction among
the Moslems is reported and it is said
Sheik VI Islam was dismissed because
he did not approve of measures taken
against the Armenians. The commit
tee of union and progress is reported
to have been virtually superseded by
a secret committee which is responsive
to the wishes of the triumvirate.
The Americans informant states
Armenians are being shipped to con
centration camps at various points, be-
ing driven afOot or forwarded in box
cars He adds the earlier massacres
of Christians in Asia Minor are being
duplicated in the present instance and
that in some cases only a compare
lively small part of the expelled Ar
menians reach the concentration
camps alive.
u. S. Ambassador Active.
Henry Morgenthau, American am
bassador at Constantinople, has exc
cuted every effort to protect the Ar
menians, but apparently his endeavors
have been unavailing. 1t is stated that
American women who attempted to
go with the refugees to look out for
Armenian children, were turned back,
and that number of young Armenian
girls, who were students at the Amer
lean college at Constantinople, fell
into the hands of the Turks.
Owing to the interruption of sea
transportation, it is almost impossible
to purchase coal in Constantinople,
and wood is being used for locomo-
tives. The crops were good, but it
has been almost impossible to harvest
them. Petroleum costs 81 a gallon
and the price of sugar has increasd
sevenfold Conditions in the city are
reportd as chaotic.
