DOUBLE FORCES IN
CANAL ZONE
Full strength of Coast Artillery
Force Will Be Maintained
There,

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The coast
artillery force Oh duty at Panama Ca
nal will be increased to full strength
of % companies. or about 1000 men, it
was learned today, the former policy
Of maintaining the big gun crews at
about half strength in time of peace
having been abandoned.
Forticatons of the canal zone
are rapidly nearing completion. Orig
hnally it was planned to man them
with IA companies, under the theory
that it was impossible that the de-
fenses at both ends of the waterway
would be attacked simultaneously, and
the canal and railroad made rapid
shifting Of the forces to the danger
point possible. Under the general re.
adjustment plan of the army, full gar.
risons for the canal defenses have
been determined upon. and it is con
sidered certain that big increase in
the coast artillery corps will be asked
for when congress reassembes, as the
doubling of the canal force will ma
terially reduce the forces in territorial
United States.

WIND B0THERS
TENNIS PLAYERS
Several Good Matches Played
Finals Will Be Run
OFF Monday.

The third day Of play in the tennis
tournament now occurring at the
Country club, despite a strong and
bothersome wind from the northwest
which made good exhibitions difficult,
was replete with interesting and spec
tacular matches. So we'll matched
were most of the contestants that
nearly every match required three
sets to determine the winner and con-
sequently progress in the several
evnts was slower than heretofore,
only thirteen matches being played.
In the Missouri Slope singles Mess
ner defeated Behrbaum in a hard and
stubbornly contested battle, 6-S, 6-3,
rs; and Wernli won from Jackson
only by exerting himself to his utmost,
his stamina and steadiness standing
him in good stead. In the open singles
Knopp, the showiest and most skillfSl
entrant, succeeded in administering to
Wernli the first defeat which the lat
ter thus far sustained in the tourna.
ment, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Jackson won from
Baker with comparative ease, 81 6-l;
and Croft defeated Russ, 6-S, Ga, 6-3.
Harmsen, another of Hazen's tennis
stars, could not keep up the initial
pace set by him in his match with
Rlbble and lost 2-6. 81, 6-3.
In the closed doubles event Johnson
and Talcott defeated Jan'zen and Croft,
81, 6-2, in good match, after win
ming from O'Hare and Parsons, 3-6,
Ga, rs. The most closely and hard
fought contest of the day was that
in which Harsen and Wernli won from
Russ and Baker. 1t was nip and tuck
from start to finish, first one team
leading and then the other. How it
ever ndd is wondered. Forty games
were played, the score being 11.9, 1l-9
In the open doubles Marmsen and
Wernli again displayed their steady
game and won from Johnson and Gas
ton, 60, 6.2. Talcott and Jackson de.
feated Janzen and Croft, GO, go, and
at last report were playing Behrbaum
and Blank.
Ftur matches, including finals in
two events, will be played tomorrow,

OF FINE GRADE

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 2S.-More
than 20 mill owners and managers oI
Minnesota and North Dakota attend
ed the annual meeting of the Spring
Wheat league at Grand Forks, last
week, comparing notes on the pros.
poets for the 1915 crop.
All of the millers were optimistic
at the crop outlook and estimate that
an average of 1S bushels of wheat per
acre will be the yield over large
portion of this state.
The millers were unanimous in the
belief that the bulk of the wheat har-
vested will be of a fair grade and tlat
the railroads will be able to handle
the shipments adequately.
Among the towns represented at
the meeting were: Grand Forks, Min
neapolis, Valley City, Jamestown,
Dickinson, Bismarck Mipot, Park
River, Crcokston, Moorhead. 'Mayville,
Harvey, New Rockford, Walhalla and
Lisbon.
Some rust in North Dakota was re-
ported and the same may affect por-
ton of the later grains, but on the
whole the wheat will grade up well,
in the opinion of the millers.

INDIAN PRINCE
ON ROTTERDAM
Fears Germans May Capture
Him for Ransom-One of
Wealthiest Princes.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The steamship,
Rotterdam, is nearing the port of Fal-
mouth tonight with an Indian Prince
aboard, whose chief appl ohension is
that he may be captured by the Ger
mans and held for ransom. He is
Jagatjit Singh Bahadur, Maharajah, OF
kapurthala, whose principality lies in
the PunjaO of India, and lie is one
of the wealthiest and most powerful OF
Indian rulers. He sailed secretly from
this port August 81 on his way back
to his kingdom after a two months OF
the United States and Canada.
Queen Also Along.
With the Maharajah are his queen,
G., MaharancO, Spanish beauty,
whom he married in Madrid five years
ago; his secretary, NJ. Roy; a consid-
cradle retinue of servants and an
American girl, Miss Maggie Cullen, to
whom the Maharanco took a liking
while in the west.
Friends of the royal couple are very
much afraid that German submarine
commanders might hear of the Mara
hajah's departure from New York,
were it published here. and knowing
of his great wealth, might lie in wait
for tie ship, which took him Off, and
hold him for ransom. So it was ar
ranged that he should leave the
United States secretly and take the
Rotterdam, Folland.American liner,
for Falmouth.
10 preclude this possibility most
careful preparations for the departure
were made.

Washington, Aug. 2S.--Maiu batter
les of American battleships hereafter
viii be given an elevation of 80 de.
grees, practically doubling the pres
ent angle of fire. according TO a de-
cision reached by navy department
experts. it is said, after close study
of all available information on naval
engagements OF the European war.
Wherever possible, ships now under
consideration and those already in
commission. it is understood. will be
similarly fitted.
Tle effect Of the change will be to
increase materially the range of the
navy's l4-inch guns, and also to make
gun fire more accurate in rough wea-
thcr. The guns now have sufficient
range to reach anything within the
limit of vision at sea, and the added
elevation will enable them to hurl
shells at objects far beyond tAe hori-
Zon or over hills Of considerable size
in bombarding land Notifications.

his government, which he confidentl!
expects will lead to negotiations thai
will bring speedy and wholly salts
factory conclusion to the entire con

and Germany over the entire contro

Unless the situation in Berlir
wholly changes before the dispatches
are sent, the ambassador believes he
will be authorized to reopen informa
discussion with Secretary Lansing tc
the end that a note may be framed
by the German government entirely
satisfactory to the United States.

Liberal Triumph.
In German circles here, it is firmly
believed that the Berlin government
is anxious to bring to quick and
friendly termination the whole discus
sion over the submarine campaign.
The visit of Count Won Bernstorff tC
Washington, acting on instructions
from Berlin, is viewed as conclusive
proof that the liberal element of the

REFUSE GERMANY'S
 RIGHT IN BELGIUM
ExEQUATURS ISSUED TO AMERI- CAN coNSULS BY KING AL
 BERT IS STILL IN FORGE.

Washington.-The United States has sent formal note to Germany which, without discussing the soveignty of Belgium, expresses a willingness to make such arrangements as may be necessary with the German military authorities in de facto control of Bel gian territory for the continuance of American consular service there.
 The American note should be deliv- cred in Berlin now. Although the first note from Germany did not explicitly raise the issue, officials of the Wash 1ngton government in making their reply carefully avoided any expression which could be construed as a politi- cal recognition of Germany's control of Belgium.
 The decision of the United States has been awaited by Central and South American governments which instruct ed their diplomatic representatives here to discuss it in the Pan-Ameri- can union.
 No reference was made in either the German note or the American reply to the status of diplomatic officers American Minister Brand WhitlocK will continue at Brussels, where he is in active charge of Belgian relief work.

The Mercv-Seat.

Thou must not look so much at the evil that is nigh, but rather at that which stands ready to pity and help and which hath pitied and helped thy distressed soul, and will pity and help it again. Why is there a mercy-seat but for the sinner to look toward in time of need? Be patient till the Lords tender mery and love visit thee again; and then, look up to him against this and such like snares, which would come between thee and the appearance of the Lords love; that thou mayest feel more of his abid ings with thee, and of the sweet ef- fects thereof. For these things are not to destroy thee, but to teach thee wis dom; which the Lord is able, through many exercises and sore trials, to be- stow upon thee; that thy heart may be rid of all that burdeneth, and filled with all it rightly desires after, in the proper season and goodness of the Lord; to whose wise ordering and ten der mercy I commit thee.-Isaae Pen ington.

Liverpool.-The German submarine U-21 began raiding British shipping on the west coast of England, in the path of transatlantic steamships.

 Another steamer is reported to have been sunk by the submarine, which pursued, but did not overhaul the Bel fast-Liverpool steamer Graphic.
 All England is greatly disturbed by this latest attempt of the Germans to enforce the doctrine of Admiral Von Tirpitz to prey on all shipping enter ing British ports.
 The captain of the Ben Cruachen, the first to suffer, says he and his crew were given 10 minutes to leave the ship when overtaken by the sub- marine. Hardly had the crew got in- to the boats, when a torpedo was fired and the steamer went down.
