raised the greatest objection to CEN
soring and seizing first class mails.
The allies insist that parcels can
not be considered as letters, corre-
spondence or dispatches" and that
nothing can save them from the exer-
else of the rights of police control,
visit and eventual seizure which be-
long to the belligerents on the high
seas in regard to all cargoes''
1t is held that the German govern
ment itself took the same view when
the German Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
now interned at Norfolk, sank the
steamer Florida with its parcel post
mail aboard. A letter from the post
master general is appended to the
note in which the captain of the Prinz
Eitel was quoted as saying he based
his action upon the declaration of
London, according to which parcel
post matter is merchandise and not
mail.

MUCH POOR WHEAT
146 Million Bushels of 1915 Grain Not
Fit for Milling.

washington, April 4.-Wheat of the
1915 crop unfit for milling is esti-
mated at 146,00O,0OO bushels as a re-
suit of inquiry made by the depart
ment of agriculture from flour mills
and grain elevators The replies were
so variable as to make accurate de-
ductions impossible and any estimate
debatabIe without considerable quail
fication. On these replies the average
worked out 14.4 per cent as the wheat
unfit for milling and 7.3 per cent or
100000 bushels as feed for live
stock.
Much wheat was used this season
for milling ordinarily would not be
regarded as fit to MILL says a report
of the bureau of crop estimates.
Modern Machinery Helped Some.
Modern machinery enabled those
who had such equipment to make
millable much wheat which small
millers, lacking such facilities, could
not use. Much wheat not good
enough for local millers was shipped
out, apparently finding a ready de-
mand at terminal points and abroad
Different ways of regarding such
wheat accounts largely for the wide
variation of estimates.
Wheat usually fed to livestock has
not been regarded by the grain trade
to be of material proportions-not
more than two per cent of the crop"

Men of the Tug Pentuckct Praised For GaIlantry During Explosion Of Mu- nitiOns in New York.

Washington, Aug. 9.-John J. Phil lips, master of the navy tug Pentucket and the nine men of his crew were commended by Secretary Daniels to- day for their excellent work and un- hesitating exposure to danger follow ing the great explosion at New York, v July 30.
 t'It appears" Secretary Daniels sa1d ''that the men on the Pentucket III charge of Tug Master Phillips pro- eeeded to Ellis Island and with hose from the pilot house and the maln deck, fought the fire on one of the ex- ploding ammunition barges. Some or the exploding shells imbedded them selves in the tug. Seaman s. Wandle, awhile handling the nozzle on top of the Fpilot house, was severely injured by z being struck in the stomach by an ex- plOding shell. They succeeded in placing at least one ammunition light CT where it could do no further dam age''
 The men of the crew are: F. L.. Knight and T. A. HeattOn, machinists mate, J. Hoffman, T. DeMOre and T. M. Hutchinson, fireman; J. L. Wheeler, s. Wandle, and R. w. Wardel, sea- man, and c. s. Nobel, ordinary sea- man.

BEHR WITHDRAWS
Contender For Championship Suc- cumbs to General Humidity and is Out of Present Tournament.


 Seabright, N. J., Aug 9.-KarI H Behr, winner of last years Seabrigh1 tennis tournament, but who was de. feated in the challenge round by R Norris Williams 2d, withdrew from this seasons play for the Achelis cup yesterday afternoon, when he de- faulted his second round match to F. P. Larned. Behr appeared for his match, but the heat early in the after room was more intense than that of the previous day, and he adhered to his resolution made then that he would default rather than play under such conditions.
 This withdrawal takes from the tournament one of the strongest con- testants. It was Behr who vanquished Mclaughlin a year ago in the Sea- bright tournament and much was ex- pected of him this season. His de- Fault leaves Robert Lindley Murray, Ichiya Kumagae, Leonard Beekman and Alrick H. Man, jr., the strongest contenders in the lower half of the draw.
 A heavy thunderstorm interrupted the tournament yesterday afternoon and as a result only five matches were completed, two in singles and three in doubles.
 Tn the singles William T. Tilden, jr., Gof Philadelphia was victor over Ro- land Roberts in a closely played con- test. the score being 4-6, 63, 8-6, and John S. Pfaffman of Harvard van cuished Dean Mathey at 6-3, 6-1.
 In doubles Watson M. Washburn and R. Norris Williams 2d, defeated James s. O'Nea1e, jr., and Francis T. Hunter 6-2, 6-3; William M. John ston and Clarence J. Griffin took the measure of Dr. William Rosenbaum and Hugh Tallant at 6-3, 6-4, and l. Kumagae and H. Mikami defeated C. Boocock and R. H. Coffin, 6-1, 6-2.
 Matthew's defeat by Pfaffman was not such a surprise as might be SUD- rosed. For the past four weeks the former Princeton player has been learning to be a soldier at Plattsburg, and. as he expressed it, carrying forty pound packs may harden the muscles, but it cuts down speed on the courts
 Mathey arrived here from the camp early yesterday morning and lack or practice was evidenced in his every i stroke The accustomed steadiness was wanting. Not so, however, in the 1 case of Pfaffman. The Harvard play l CT made comparatively few errors He 1 played good tennis, but could hardly 1 have beaten Mathey had the latter l been at his best.

HOURS FISHING FOLLOW.
I'D BY A FEAST.
Probably Forty or Fifty We're In
Guided in the Parry That spent
Afternoon az Bell
Branch Lake.

Waxahachie people who saw the
Detroit Tigers and local fans going
to Bell Branch Country club Thurs
day afternoon we're not sure hut tba,
an expedition into Mexico had been
organized here and that the advance
guard was off in automobiles TO take
up the trail of the ever elusive
Villa. The automobiles numbered
from ten to twelve and carried be-
tween forty and fifty men and al.
most as many guns and many rounds
CT ammunition. 1t was vacation dav
for the Tigers after two weeks of
hard work and members of the Bell
Branch Country club were taking
them to the lake for an outing.
1t was delightful ride to the lake
and the guests enjoyed the pietur-
esque scenery as we'll as a look at
the fertile Ellis county lands. The
party arrived at the Country Club
lake just before O'Clock. With
guides to show the way TO the best
hunting reserves several smaller
parties took the field for a rabbit
hunt. Others took to boats and
started out on the lake in search for
festive white perch or perhaps a bass.
The hunters had better luck than
did the fishermen On their return
after couple of hours beating the
brush they had a supply of twenty or
thirty rabbits, including one big jack
rabbit that was a sort of curio to
some of the boys.
The regiment took up quarters at
the Spalding camp across the wing
of the lake rather than at the club
house. Erwin Singleton and Sam
Showers had been there for the whole
day with corps of workers making
ready for mutton roast to give the
visitors a taste of Waxahachie hos
pitality. The visitors who gathered
at camps before the appointed hour
for the feast TO begin spent the time
ct trapshooting in which Catcher
Stanage and "Goober' Patterson
were declared the real experts.
Stanage missed a very few of the
targets and 'Goober" hit very few, il
any.
1t was about o'clock when sup
per was announced and it was a real
feast consisting of two great pots
of gumbo, roast mutton, pork. beef
and the various accessories that go
to make UP camp feast. Beverages
were served that coaxed the lazy APP
petites and kept the party for two
long hours about the we'll ladened
tables. 1t was 1880 O'Clock when the
party broke camps and started for
town. The ride home was delightful
and both homefolks and visitors
were well entertained.
