under way. according to the latest re-
norts from the grounds.
Now that the switch has been COM

material has been taken out from the
lower railroad yards and this has CIV
en- an impetus to operations which
we're somewhat delayed during the
early weeks pending the completion
of this branch track.
A large quantity Of material has been
moved out to the grounds. but there
are still several car loads In the lower
Yards. This will only be taken out
as It is needed. The general once Is
already up and the foundation OF the
boiler room and part Of the structure
has been completed and the work Of
n,acing In the remaining foundations
Is going on.
Rain during the past hindered to
some degree the work, but it IL hoped
to make this up now with the fine
weather of the past few days and the
promise Of more.
There has also been satisfying pro-

great deal OF work will be accom-

Taken From ship.
PARK IS FAVORED SPOT

The Maine memorial tablet for
which the Keokuk Chapter D. A. r..
early in the summer made application
to the secretary OF the navy. was 70,
ceived yesterday by Mrs. ID. A. Col
lier, the chairman Of the committee
having the matter in charge. The
question Of the placing of the tablet
will come up for consideration by the
chapter at an early date.
The members present at the last
meeting Of the chapter agreed that
the really correct and fitting place
was to place 1t in the National ceme-
terry, but it will In all probability be
placed in Rand park, since 1t will be
seen there by vastly greater num-
Der Of people.
The members OF the committee are
unanimous in wishing that the tablet
could be placed on a boulder in the
park, the boulder to be set on ce-
ment base, or to be surrounded by an
iron fence or placed in some way to
call the attention OF visitors to It.
The tablet is of bronze. having on
IT in relief, woman's figure symbolic
ing grief. The figure bears in her
hand laurel wreath which drops over
the following inscription:
In memoriam. U. s. s. Maine. de-
stroyed in HAVANA harbor. Feb. 10,
1898. This tablet is cast from metal
recovered from U. s. s. Maine"
The design is by C. Keck. and is
poth dignified and beautiful and sug-
gests in every line the purpose for
which 1t is designed.

ROMANTIC BANKER
SLAIN IN BATTLE
Won BIeichroeder, Heir to $40,-
100000, For Whom Princess
Sophia Committed Suicide,
Killed at Warsaw.

London, Aug. 14.-Baron Won Bleich-
roeder, son Of the famous German
banker. was killed while fighting on the
Warsaw front. August 1, according to
an Amsterdam dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company. He was at
one time secretly engaged to Princess
Sophia, of Saxe-Weimar. who com
mitted suicide in 1913 because her
father, Prince William, refused to per-
NIT their marriage.
The love affair of Princess Sophia
and Baron Bleichroeder. which led to
her suicide aroused interest through
out the German empire. TIL young
baron was the eldest son of the head
OF one of the most powerful banking
houses in Germany, who was ennobled
for his valuable financial services to the
empire.
Grand Duke Ernest. of Soxe-Weimar,
the head of the house, was said to have
been responsible for preventing the
marriage. He refused to sanction the
union unless the princess. his third
cousin. renowned all her titles and
dignities. which she refused to do.
Her father was said to have been in
clined to yield to her wish tina she
might wed the man she loved. but was
unable to take an Independent stand,
owing to his financial relations with
the grand duke, who based his objec-
tons to the match, upon the ground
that a princess should not wed an in
ferior in rank.
Baron Won Bleichroeder was in New
York in 1910 to study banking methods.
The young man, who was said at that
time to be heir to $4,000, 900, kept his
identity secret for 10 months from all
except his most intimate friends, and
spent his time studying finance. 1t
was said that at one time he intended
to enter the diplomatic service of his
country. but for some reason he failed
to do so.

ORDER HAD HIM. I'm THE ARR

died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

IN all the naval services tradition is
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy, U. S. NJ, has shown in an article in
The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to GUS
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy, at least, it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
Inc language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
VINO did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in Interpreting
any unusual order.
On n occasion, the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one. and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate became desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced it into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with a push that
sent the youngster Keeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
Go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for a bucketful of it! never
heard of anything to scrub a deck with
but sand and lime, and l don't know
anything about these new 'soogy.
m%oodgies,' anyway.'-Youth's Com.

loss OF BILLION
IN BRITISH TRADE
Reduced Exports, Due to War.
Result In UnfavorabIe Bal
~ance-German Crops
Are Large.
BY A N w. r
Editor London Economist.


London. Aug. 14.-The present
stretch of wet weather here is %unfavor-
able to the harvest, but experts hope
that food prices will not rise, as Ameri-
can and Canadian crop reports are
good.
Neutral observers assert that Ger
many expects very large crops of wheat
and potatoes, the beet area being much
reduced.
Renewed sales of treasury bills at
higher rates indicate a desire to main
tain the price of money in London.
Board of trade returns for July COM
plotting one year of the val show full
reasons for the unfavorable state of our
American exchanges. Owing almost
entirely to reduced exports we appear
to owe s2OO, 900, 900 more than in the
previous year to neutral colonial and
allied countries.
The gradual shrinkage Of our ex-
portable surplus is rightly attributed
by 1.-The Morning Post" to increasing
diversion of workers. especially miners
and factory hands, into army and mu-
nitionS work.

SAYS BULGARIA ASKS ONLY
WHAT THE ALLIES CAN GIVE

Rome, Aug. ~, (via Paris, Aug. 13).
The Bulgarian minister to Italy, D..
Rizow, discussing in the Tribuna the
negotiations between the Balkan states
and the quadruple entente, character
ICES as unjust statements that Bull
garia considers herself Indispensable
to the allies and is bargaining on that
basis.
Bulgaria, the minister asserts. has
not changed her program. She was
deceived in signing the treaty of Blu
charest Of 1913, under the terms Of
which she coded to Rumania nearly
5000 square miles of territory. What
Bulgaria wishes, he continued, is
Preparation based upon the principle Of
nationality for which the Quadruple
entente is contending."
The Mir. a newspaper of Sofia. Bull
garia. in it's issue Of July 10. published
the following editorial article on tho
status of the negotiations between Bull
garia and Great Britain, France and
Russia:
"There is today no indication that
an understanding a be reached be-
tween Bulgaria and the entente pow
ers. The reasons for this are numer-
Gus. Had these negotiations begun
earlier in the war they would have
progressed more rapidly. It is also
true that if there existed greater con-
fidence between the two parties an
understanding would not have been
delayed. Nevertheless, the principal
reason for delay is to be found else.
