ALL PREPARATIONS CONCLUDED :
FOR LAUNCHING OF CENIRlI
Maine FAIR THIS M0RNM,

Everything is in readiness for the
great Central Maine Fair. The last ex-
hibit has been put in place, the horse
stalls are all filled with the finest Of
horsefesh. the Midway is filled to over
flowing with fakirs Of every kind and
description, and it is particular man
or woman who canont find a chance
there to be interested and amused. The
weather is the one thing that is now
worrying the fair management. If Tues
day dawns with a clear sky there is no
question but what it will be one big
day for the Central Maine. There has
never been a time in the history of
the fair when everything else was in
such splendid shape for the opening
The fair management more than did
its share and when the exhibitors ar
rived they found everything in readi-
ness for them and there was no wait
ing for the management to make neces-
sary changes. On the Midway, Mana
ger Berry was always to be found and
those who had spaces reserved for
them, had no delay in finding the want
ed place and newcomers were looked
after very promptly. The same condi-
tons held forth in the cattle, the hog,
the horse and in fact in every depart
ment. A trip through the grounds Mon
day afternoon was an interesting sight.
In the cattle department the exhibit
ors were busy getting their stock set
tied and making arrangements for their
own comfort Further along, the big
line of pens for the prize hogs were all
filled with the best of their kind in the
State and then one came to the eXh-
bition horses, of which there was an

MRS. A. F. WILLARD HAS
NO WORD FROM HUSBAND

Mobile, Ala, Aug. 30.-Mrs. A. F.
Willard Of Puerto Cortez, Honduras,
who is summering here. denied today
that she had received any message
from her husband, who was a passen-
ger on the missing steamer Marowijne,
stating that the crew and passengers
had been transferred to steamer
bound to New York.
That the passengers and crew Of the
Marowijne were taken off by a pass
ing schooner bound for distant port
is the only hope now held out.
One wireless message picked up at
Pensacola stated that the Marowijne
went down on the evening of Aug. Is.
and that the passengers and crew were
picked up by steamer. Little faith,
however, is placed in the message.

Since Beginning of War 00,000 Gross Tonnage of British Ships Exclu-
 sive of Warships Sunk.

LONDON, May 17-The British ad- miralty announces that since the beginning of the war the merchant marine of Great Britain has suffered a loss of 500,OOO gross tonnage by the work of the enemies warships. The greatest losses have resulted because of the activities of the submarines, which have been very effective the past few weeks, and have sent sev- eral large ships to the bottom. The greatest loss was the sinking of the Lusitania with a tonnage of 32,000.
 The German sea raiders are also responsible for the loss of many ships The raiders avoided the British war. ships and preyed on commerce until oyertaken and destroyed.

DERNbERG WILL
 QUIT THE J. $,
kaiser's Personal Representative To Return Home-Denied Is Being
 Ordered From Country.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Count Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States, admitted today that Dr. Dernberg, the special representa- tive of the German kaiser in the Un- ited States, and who has been lec- turing in many parts of the United States in an effort to show the ac- tion of the German government in a different light to the people of this country, would leave the United States at once.
 Dr. Dernberg denies that he is leaving because of threats and says that he has always avoided state- ments that might tend to embarrass President Wilson and the American administration. He also states that he is leaving voluntarily and is not being expelled from the country, as many pro-English papers have assert ed.
 It is, however, generally known here that the administration looked with keen displeasure on the repeat ed defenses made by Dr. Dernberg of the sinking of the merchant vessel Lusitania and the loss of many Amer ican lives. The administration has not taken kindly to any attempt to justify the sinking, claiming that no justification is possible. The posi- tion taken by Dernberg was directly opposite to that taken by President Wilson and Secretary of State Bry- an and brought the administration heads and personal representative in direct opposition, causing much fric- tion.
 Just how the German diplomat will reach Germany again is unknown.
