 NATIONAL TENNIS
laepubilcan A. p. Leased Wirel

FOREST HILLS, N. Y. Aug 20.-Un- expected tennis play by some of the older entrants in the national patriotic singles tournament was the feature of the fiji st and second rounds here after an all day session on the turf courts Holconbe Ward of Seabright, N. J., singles champion in 1904, started the upsets by defeating s. H. Voshell of Brooklyn, 6-4, l-6, G-3.
 Voshell, who has been playing ex- cellent tennis ali season, was selected by many as the probable winner of the tournament in view of his victory early this Gummer over both Strachan and ThroCkmorton. Notwithstanding the difference in their years, Ward won rather easily, his short court and chop stroke play throwing his younger op ponent entirely off his game. Ward continued into the second round at the eXpense of another younger player H. s. Parker of Cedarhurst, N. Y whom he defeated 6-2. 6-2
 McCraig Riddle of Philadelphia furn- ished another surprise in defeating Frederick B. Alexander of New York, 6-1, 2-6, GO.
 Charles S Garland of Pittsburg, comparative youngster furnished the third surprise by defeating Lyle E. Mahan of New York 6-1. 7-5 in the first round, and then vanquishing Carl Behr of New York, the former interna- tiOnalist 6-2, 6-4.
 Seichiro Kashio, the Japanese play CT from Tokio. survived the first round but was eliminated in the second by Douglas Walters of New Orleans. Kashio defeated J. B. Ransom of Bea yer Falls, Pa. in three deuce sets in the forenoon, hut went down quickly baf In 6-2
 KaShio was far from being the expert that Kumagae was in last years cham pionship play The Tokio entrant lacked severe service and aside from a heavily topped drive and considerable endur ance did not give the exhibition of his proceeding countryman on American courts.
 R. Norris Williams IT., of Boston, the present champion. had little diff culty in running through the first two rounds quickly eliminating Walter l.. Pate of New York and L. G. French, Montclair N. l., in straight sets, three games being the largest number scored against him in any one cf the four sets.
 The California contingent also was very much in evidence John R. Stra- chan of san Francisco went through the first round hy default and won from Elliott rinzel Of New York. 6-l, s-4 in the second. Clarence J. Grif- eir, also of San Francisco. won his place in the third round in easy fash , ion at the expense of C. W. MacMullen, New York. and Ludlow Vandeventer Of 1lainfield N. J.. and three games was he highest number scored against him n any one of the sets.
 The special exhibition match between Miss Molla Riurstedt fo New York and Miss Mary F. Browne of San Francisco held the attention of large gallery late in the afternoon, Miss Binrstedt winning 7-5 3-6. 6-S. Miss Browne apparently was unable to sustain the 'ast pace which she has set against Miss Biurstedt in recent play, being defeated for the second time in 2i hours by the Morse girl.

vOTE TODAY WHETHER
 TAKE OVER PROJECT

Water users will today vote on the proposal to take over the Salt River irrigation project from the government and amend the articles of incorpora- tion to suit new conditions.
 "All entitled to vote must do so in their own districts" said Dr. Charles Van der Veer, secretary of the associa- tion yesterday. Their district is where their land is located The election will be conducted in this respect in manner similar to a city or state election. No one can vote by proxy and no one can vote by mail. All voting must be in person. A vote is one vote for every acre owned. In this respect the voting is different than a regular city or state election"
 Official figures furnished by the as sociation yesterday show that there are TIA, 105 acres to vote today. This IS

 There are today 3,632 individual vot- CTS in the project, a gain of 1lS voters since April, when there were 3,514 voters. Last year there were 3,453 and in 1909 1929 voters.
 The official figures show that there were 167 ,O63 irrigated acres at the April election and 166,175 a year ago, and 10S, orr in 1909.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The govern

extravagant, inefficient, loosely run and
bureaucratic government in the whole
world.
The Senate of the United States rs IN
Rim Van Wrinkle sleep of inefficiency.
The Senate listened to those two
charges this afternoon, and, TO all ap-
pearance, was not reused in the least.
The person who thus attempted TO dis
turb the complacent serenity of the
Senate was Joseph I. Robinson Demo
craD, of Arkansas.
Senator Robinson was speaking IN
support of an amendment TO the legis-
lative bill. This amendment, had 1T
been adopted would have authorized
the President to abolish and consoli-
date any and all governmental bureaus
if the lately created Bureau of Eff
cheney recommended such abolition or
consolidation.
Other eliminating remarks by vari-
Gus Senators on the same subject were;

KINGSLAND ARMS
TO BAR FACTORY
Mayor Threatens as Pow
der Company Plans to
Rebuild Plant

The Canadian Gar ana rouhuII NVn-
pany, whose big munitions plant at
Kingsland, n. j., was destroyed on
January II, will rebuild its factory at
an early date, its agents announced
yesterday.
Last night Henry Clay, Mayor Of
Union Township, in which the property
of the company lies, declared that his
people net only would use every legal
means, but. If necessary, would offer
armed resistance to prevent return
Of the munitions business to their COM
munity.
eve won't permit these people or
ANYBODY else making munitions TO
come into Union Township" said Mayor
Clay. "They were menace to the place.
Well not only fight them in the courts,
but well 90 out there armed and sec
that they do not start TO rebuild. We
won't have our lives and our property
threatened again. The sentiment here
is virtually unanimous against them.
There are two local citizens who made
money out of the company, but the
business has been of absolutely no
benefit TO any one else here, and cost
not only the public in general. but
many individuals, a great deal.
Labor Menaced Town
at took just four hours for that
company's fire to wreck half a hundred
of our homes, and yet the company's
officials have allowed almost two weeks
to pass without doing a thing worth
mentioning TO make good the damage.
They never have shown respect for our
laws. | can prove that il was their own

enabled the flames to spread from the
building where they started.
"Then, too, they flooded the town
shin with a class of cheap labor. so
that we were forced to put on extra
police"
Mayor Clay said he had been in
formed that the Canadian Car firm had
sold its holdings to the American Can
Company, which planned TO erect mu-
nitions plant. On the other hand, Ma
thanel Curry. who until recently was
president of the old company, declared
Yesterday that the rebuilding of the
Canadian Car Company's plant awaited
only the adjustment OF its insurance
claims.
Mr.. Curry said that there had been
more or less" negotiations with the
Russian purchasing commission, for
whom his company was making NUM-
tions, and he felt assured that these
would be adjusted to-day or tomorrow.
Old Employees Retained
The agency Of the Canadian Car and
Foundry Company has established tenn
porary Offices in Lyndhurst in the First
National Bank Building. Most of the
persons formerly employed at the plant
Offices by w. r. Hardness, superin-
tendent. have been retained.
The Passaic County grand jurors and
Prosecutor Michael Dunn visited the
scene of the Du Pont explosion at Has
kel, n. j., yesterday. They examined
the ground to determine the distance
between magazines and highways or
dwellings, and questioned officials as TO
the amount Of powder that had been
stored in each building.
They returned TO Paterson, and the
result of their expedition probably will
not be made public unless indictments
are found, which is not considered
likely.

Birth Control Bills +
Started in Legislature

Albany. Jan. 24-Discussion OF birth
control legislation il 10 be precipitated
in the Legislature at this session II us
advocates now in the capital meet WIN
any success in trying TO carry out their
programme. A bill legalizing the DIS
semination Of knowledge on this most
vital question" was introduced in the
Assembly to-day b. Assemhyman Abra-
ham /. Shiplacoff, Socialist, of Brook
lyn. Another one, less drastic, will be
presented tomorrow by Assemblyman
Jacob Goldstein, also Of Brooklyn, and
another is coming from Representative
Greenberg, sponsored by the National
Birth Control League.
The Shiplaeof measure, the first OF
its kind ever offered in the New York
Legislature. would exempt from tho
category OF indecent articles the publ
cation OF which is a misdemeanor I'M
der Section 2242, an article OF publica-
tion that discusses or gives informa-
ton concerning birth control. Its
sponsors maintain that the law can be
so amended without letting in a swarm
of "quacks" il the dissemination of the
information is limited to physicians,
nurses and others in limited degree.
Assemblymsn Shiplacoff was not OPP
timistic about the passage of his bill
or even getting it out Of committee,
but it is expected that there will be a
committee hearing on it and probably a
discussion on the floor of the Legis-
lature when the advocates of the bill
move 20 discharge the committee from
consideration of it The Goldstein
measure Is understood TO be like the
Shiplacoff bill, except that it would re-
strict the imparting of biish costrol in
formation TO married women. Both are
regarded by their authors as ahead Of
the times

GERMAN CLAIM
Man Supply Ample for Several
Years if Food Holds Out,
Says Berlin Paper

Berlin (by wireless to Sayville), Jan.
81. Estimating the total German losses
in the war at about 100000, the "Na-
tional Zetung," of Berlin, says that
there are available sufficient forces 70
carry on the war for several years
more. The newspaper gives available
figures of casualties and continues:
"Tho first impression obtained from
these lists is that the number of dead
is relatively small in view of the fact
that so many powerful offensive cam
paigns have been undertaken. as well
as the defensive actions of unheard of
difficulties. such as that of the Sommc.
This shows that the Germans are more
sparing of their forces than one be-
lieved.
Nevertheless the losses mean an
enormous bleeding of the nations body.
but il is not so great that Germany will
not be able to carry on the war for
several years more. IL the total losses
are calculated at about 100000 the
German reserves would still number
100000 out of the 1900, 900 with which
large numbers of young men have
reached the age of military service
during the war. According to con-
servative calculation, Germany has had
in this way an addition Of 100000 to
her forces"
The National Zeitung" says that if
the soldiers who have passed the age
limit for military service have been
retained with the colors the net loss
as a result Of the war thus far would
be perhaps $4,000, or at the most
1000, 900. and adds:
Germany still has at least 100000
men 10 use on the front or for the navy,
and therefore we do not overstate the
case in pointing out that Germany, by
comparison with the former date date
not given, has a much larger number
of men on the front. For long time
TO come it. cannot be expected that by
any possibility the compulsory mill
tary service will break down, provided
the difficulties of alimentation do not
become so great that the soldiers on
the front also have to suffer from
them"

for. while two very small conferences
have been held previously Tor the dis
cussion of problems relating to the
higher colleges for the education Of
chiefs sons, never before have gen
eral subjects affecting the nativ- states
as a whole come up for debate.
One possibility, widely discussed. is
that these annual conferences may ul-
timately develop into a council which
will have a voice in the government Of
the empire as a whole. Just hint
of this was contained in the Viceroy's
address of welcome at the opening OF
the session.
Great weight also is attached to the
fact that so many of the rulers should
meet at the invitation of the Vieeroy
at this crucial time in the world war.
Their mere presence in the capital city
is interpreted as a tribute OF loyalty
to England, and. in addition TO this,
an unqualified statement of adherence
10 the throne was made in the name
of the conference by the Msharajsh-
Gaekwar of Baroda during his answer
TO the closing speech of the Viceroy.
