Kamehameha Is banking on winning
out in the Cornell meet. which takes
place on Saturday afternoon at Kane
hameha field. and with a big lead Sc
cured in the cross country run should
be the first place team unless all
their athletes are withdrawn.
The King street school athletes are
expected to figure in the long distance
events with Woolsey, Eaton and 1--WE
loa. while Dover in the dashes and
hurdles and some strong men in the
weight events give the school a
chance to pick up number of points.
Mills has ~ points already, and may
be able to-gather more in the distance
relays, although it is not expected that
il will make, a formidable showing
in the other events.
Punahou may gather enough points
to finish in second place. but some OF
the stars OF last year are gone, and
should Mills make a strong showing
in the distances may edge Punahou
out for the place. St Louis has lost
Hore and Carey. which means pretty
nearly a whole team. and with Fe-aan-
dez is figuring on making some
points in the dashes. Mckinley has
not shown much to date, and is not
expected to be a strong contender.

PERU READY TO BREAK.
Text of Presidents Message to Con-
 gress Received.

Text of Presidents Message to Con- gress Received. Washington, Aug 24.-Peru's readi- ness to break relations with Germany is clearly indicated in the Peruvian presidents recent message to congress, the text of which was received from the American minister and made public yesterday by the state depart ment. The attitude of the United States in entering the war was in- dorsed, and it was intimated that peruvian waters were open to Ameri- can warships.
 Unofficial dispatches from Amster- dam saying Peru had sent Germany an ultimatum as the result of a Ger man prize courts refusal of damages for the sinking of the Peruvian sailing vessel Lorton created no surprise at the state department. The Peruvian presidents message to congress was regarded here IS preparing the way for a rupture. Referring to the demo- cratic principles enunciated in Presi- dent Wilson's war address, he said:
 Peru, which in all its acts of in- ternational life has endeavored to in- corporate these principles of justice in the judicial and political relations of the American people: Peru, which in a war not far back sacrificed for these ideals the blood of its sons the richness of its treasures and the hopes of it future, cannot be indifferent to the words of President Wilson and ad- heres, once more, to such noble pur- poses.
 Brazil, Cuba Bolivia and Panama have suspended their diplomatic rela- lions with Central POwerS IJrl- quay has taken the initiative that the South American united states may re- ceive in their ports Amesican warships as brother nations and not belliger- ents, a concept comparable with terms of benevolent neutrality to which act my government has adhered with sympathy"

EXPECT CARPENTER,
Wonderful French Pugilist and Avia-

New York;, Aug. 24.-Although Georges Carpenter, heavyweight champion boxer of Europe and a member of the French aviation corps since the beginning of the great war, did not arrive in this country Wednes- day, as announced in dispatches, there seems to be no doubt that he is really expected here shortly. Just what the nature of Carpenters mission to the United States is is not definitely kriwn. One story is that his health has failed under the strain of war and that he is coming here to recuperate. Another is that he will seek to enlist French subjects in this country for the army in France.
 Of course, there Is talk of match ing the gallant French soldier with Jess Willard for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world. There is talk of such a match, but it will never be permitted to take place.

DUTCH IN QUANDARY OVER POTATO CROP
Find It Difficult to Appease Eng
 land and Germany Too

The Hague, Netherlands, July 31 Correspondence of the Associated Press) The potato riots at Amster- dam and Rotterdam this month have given the Dutch government one of the most severe jolts 1t has experi- enced.
 The trouble began with a request on the part of Germany that the ex- port of new potatoes should be per- mitted immediately after they began to reach the market. AS it was backed up by the intimation that only thus could be obviated Q reduction of the ration of German coal of 350,0O0 tons a month. on which the country and its industries so vitally depend, the min ister of agriculture, F. E. Posthuma, gave way.
 The standing agreement provided that 12,0OO tons of potatoes must be delivered to Great Britain before any further export to Germany, and as the British authorities insisted on the strict fulfillment of this obligation the result was that the home market, for two or three weeks preceding the ar rival of the new crop in any quanti- ty, was bereft of it's supplies of the old and was practically bare.
 Finding themselves suddenly de- prived of such a conspicuous item in their daily menu, mobs of indignant housewives at Amsterdam and Rot terdam raided any boats or wagons containing potatoes they could get at, and apparently managed to plunder a certain amount destined for Great Britain, though they neither knew nor cared where the food was bound. 1n- deed, there was no suggestion what ever of the riots being of an ant1- British character.
 The British authorities were the more displeased with the course things had taken as seeming to throw on them the odium of taking supplies which Holland herself needed, while, owing to shipment delays, the frontier seems to have been opened for exports to Germany a little while before the British supply had actually left the country, and London apparently has made it's displeasure unpleasantly nlain to the Netherlands government.
 The market Is now flooded with po- tatoes of the new crop. which, besides supplying home needs, Is expected to

of the government machinery. It is
 believed that a system can be worked
 out by which the retailers will be as-
 sured of the coal needed at stated pc
 riods and thus obviate the necessity for storing large quantities to meet contracts. A map of the country and it's needs will be prepared for this pur- pose.
 The action taken by the president l today practically completes at least the preliminary stage of his coal con- | trol plan as the principle of licensing, which will be put in force in connec- ton with anthracite, probably will be applied also. with necessary adjust
 ments. to the bituminous coal output. Dr. Garfield, however, let it be known that he would be ready at any time to take more drastic action if confronted by situation which called for such a step, He felt, he said after an ex- animation of the law, that the food control legislation gave all of the pow CTS necessary for absolute and arbi- trary control of output. distribution and prices.
