WAR IN SCOTLAND
(By Associated Press. }

London, Aug. 9.-The report on
prisons in Scotland for 1915, just is
sued, reveals a remarkable decrease
in the number of criminals dealt
with, the lowest since 1869, not
withstanding the fact that the pop
ulation Of the country has increased
since then by As per cent. The de-
crease is attributed chiefly to the
growth of the temperance movement,
increased facility for finding employ
ment and the recent mobilization
The number of criminals tabulat-
ed in 1915 was 27,340, a decrease of
1871 as. compared with the total
of the preceding year.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
San Antonio, Texas, Aug 4.-There
are too many cases of measles among
the troops along the Rio Grande.
The army treatment for measles is
worse than the measles.
With the temperature at 96, the sol.
diers--and whoever else has measles in
Texas-must take five or six hot baths
daily.
Measles patients are not allowed to
drink ice water, no matter how h0tly
the sun is beating down and how parch-
ed the throats of even healthy men may
be. Instead of ice water its hot lem
onde.
Still, measles makes you so badly
that little things like hot baths and
hot drinks on a scorching day don t
make you feel much worse.
It's hard to know how to escape
measles. In Galicia with the Austrian
army your correspondent escaped the
Asiatic cholera. In Siberia last winter
he escaped typhoid fever, which was
decimating the Serbian army.
There are 10 cases of measles along

Eight Champion Players.

New York, Aug. 4.r-On the courts of
Forest Hill today eight of this coun-
try's greatest tennis players represent
ing the east and the west will meet to
decide the intersectional champion
ship of the United States.
1t will be a battle of champions. On
the Pacific coast team is William John
ston, national champion, who will meet
r. Norris Williams, former national
champion. in the feature match of the
day; Peck Griffin, national doubles
champion, will tackle George M. Church,
western and northwestern champion; R.
Lindley Murray, national indoor cham
pion, will oppose Watson NJ. Wash
burn, former "met' champion and
Willis +. Davis, national clay court
champion. will meet Karl Behr, former
middle states champion.
Interest is centered in the last match
of the day when Johnston and Williams
meet. The national champion defeated
the Philadelphian in the champions last
year, but lost to him on several other
occasions. Many are picking Williams
to defeat the Californian in his stat
toward No. in the ranking this year.
The Pacific coast racquet wielders
are slight favorites to win the inter
sectional matches. The terrific hitting
of Davis, Murray and Roberts should
give them the edge if Williams succeeds
in holding Johnston in the feature
match.
