then defaulted to her sister in the
fourth round.
Miss Lock and Miss Clark played
their second set in the unfinished

plays Miss Helen Diehl in the fourth
round, Miss S. Herrick playing the
winner of that match in the semi

Play in the doubles will also start
today. The interest in the ladies'
doubles is greater than in the others,
probably on account of the fact that
there are three teams of sisters to play

Misses Herrick and Misses Milburn.
Others entered are Hazel Clark and
Mrs. Mulholland, Helen Diehl and
tGeraldine Gregg.
There will also be mems doubles

in NOBLE TRIBUTE
Japanese Praise America at
Tomb of Washington.
IShii Reasserts Desire of His
People for Friendship.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Standing be-
side the tomb of George Washington,
Viscount Ishii, head of the special
Japanese mission, pledged the eternal
friendship of his people to the United
states and voiced message to tue
world that Japan is in the war with
every ounce of her strength and re-
sources and will fight to the bitter end
for her allies.
There is no gulf between the
ancient east and the new born west
too deep and wide for the hearts and
cross" declared the Japanese diplo-
mat. A minute later, with his eyes
raised to the blue vault, he said:
Japan is proud to place herself be-
side her noble allies in this high re-
solve to fight for justice and against
of these deathless ashes she reaffirns
her devotion to the cause and prln-
ciples for which they waged battle,
fully determined to do her whole part
in securing for the worldSthe blessing s
of liberty, justice and lasting peace"
Wreath on Tomb.
When he ceased speaking, viscount
Ishii stepped into the tomb and rev.
erently laid an immense wreath along
side the tributes from France, Great
Britain, Belgium and the other ma
tons who have sealed their promises
of devotion to the common cause of
| justice and humanity on the spot
where rests the ashes of the immortal
| Washington.
Viscount Ishii and the members of
| the japanese mission were taken to
Mount Vernon on the Mayflower as
the guests of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. Members of the cabinet, high
officials of the government. army and
navy officers, members of congress
and the civilian heutenants of the
president in prosecuting the war were
present and gave a hearty welcome
| to the visitors from overseas.
| None of the visits paid to Washing
toms tomb by other missions have so
combined the dramatic with .sucn a
show of reverence as was witnessed
| Sunday.
There could be no mistaking the abb
| solute sincerity of Viscount Ishii as he
| delicately made reference to the rip
| pies that have occurred from time te
| time in the diplomatic seas between
| the two countries and declared the
! wish of his sovereign and his people
to be the formation of indissoluble les
with the United States which will for
J ever Danish all doubts as to the atti-
tude of japan toward this government
When he made his declara -ions hi;
voice clear and strong, the little group
about the tomb showed its apprecia-
ton by spontaneous and prolonged ap.
plause.
Not even Marshal Joffre, idol of the
allied nations, revoked the enthusiasm
which greeted the visitor from -ht
land of the cherry blossoms. On the
other hand none of the representa-
| tives of our allies who have visited
Mount Vernon have demonstrated 6
greater interest in the shrine of Amer
lean liberty and in hearing details o.
the private life of General Washington
and his family.

FOR WAR INSURANCE
Colonel Roosevelt Praises Plan in a
Letter to Secretary McAdoo.

Washington, Aug. 27-Theodore
Roosevelt in a letter to Judge Julian
Mack made public here urges that the
army war insurance plan now before
congress include a special premium as
an inducement to soldiers 20 raise
large families.
Judge Mack has been associated
with Secretary McAdoo, of the treas
ury department, in working out the
solG.ers' insurance plan. The Roose-
welt letter was made public by Secre-
tary McAdoo. 1t follows:
oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. %, 1917.
My Dear Judge Mack: 1 have read
the bill for compromising and insuring
the soldiers and sailors with keenest
interest. It marks a great step for
ward. 1t puts the United States where
it ought to be- as standing in the fore
front among the nations in doing JUS
tice to our defenders
II am particularly struck by the
emphasis on the family, instead of as
heretofore, on the man. When we
draft men into public service we en-
list their dependents; and of these we
must never lose sight They must be
cared for while their bread winner is
| away They, not he alone, must be
considered in fixing the compensation
| for disability; and if he dies as a
| result of the service. they must be
adequately protected, instead of being
given the miserable pittance that the
present pension law provides"

State Grange Requests Leni-
ency in Army Draft.
Want Competent Men Left To
Do Work on Farms.
RESOLUTIONS TO THE BOARDS
Ask Special Consideration OF
Exemption Claims.
Fear for the Needs of United
States and Her Allies.

More resolutions have been passed
asking for special consideration by the
district appeal boards of exemption
claims by men engaged in agricultural
activities. Resolutions were sent to
the Kansas district boards today by
the state grange and Farmers' Educa-
tional and Cooperative union.
While the resolutions do not seek
to specifically exempt all men engaged
in farm work, they urge careful con-
sideration of each individual claim.
Unless competent men are left on the
farm, the resolutions urge, the farm
ers will be unable to periodically meet
the demands of the government and
raise an adequate supply of grain. The
resolutions sent to the boards today
were the direct result of the action
of the boards in refusing TO grant
greater exemption privileges under
the farmer claims.
'It is with great apprehension
says the resolutions committee, that
the organizations we represent note
the long list of farmers being certi-
fled for service in the army. We fear
that the needs for food of the United
States and her allies will not be met
unless skilled agricultural workers are
kept on the farms
The resolutions were signed by B.
Needham, chairman; John R. Chittrn-
den, w. C. Whitney, w. Y. Dickson
Frank c. Pomeroy, A. E. Wedd. o. NJ
Lippert and D. H Hanserbroek. Whit
ney is state senator from the Smith
Phillips-Norton county district while
Pomeroy is senator from the jackson
Atchison district Chittenden is rep.
resentative from Ellis county.

SPIES REPORT SHIPS
U.Boat Commanders Advised of De-
parture-Fear Poisoned Food.

An Atlantic Port. Aug. 27.-The ef-
ficiency with which German spies are
keeping kaiser's submarines inform
ed of the movements of American
merchantmen was described here to-
day by the captain and members o.
the crew of the schooner Childe Har-
old which was sunk by a U-boat.
The schooner was stopped by the
subma rine off the French coast June
81. The captain Immediately asked
where the ships Herman and Crossley
were. The Sherman and Crossley eft
New York at the same time the
Childe Harold sailed, but only the
shippers and owners were supposed
to know this.
The captain said the German conn.,
mander refused to accept food from
the schooner, declaring he had been
