Washington, June 13.-Lord North

people would resent quickly being told
what to do or what not to do by an
outsider, even should that outsider be
very strong ally.
What the British commissioner,
noted in England for his blunt direct
ness of attack, may be relied upon to
do will be to tell Americans and, their

Operating under Lord Northcliffe' s
direction will come three prlnclpai
British missions, besides many repre-
sentatives dispatched to this country

The three principal missions, the
work of which he will coordinate

inspection organization and the ocear
shipping department, all with theil
headquarters in New York. Besides
this, the scientific mission and the in
spectors for the British admiralty anC

LARNED'S WONDERFUL.
RECORD AT TENNIS
For Nineteen Years He Has Held q
Place In the Ranking Ton of tho
United States Net Experts.

w. A. Larned, former national tennis
champion and internationalist, who
stepped out of competitive retirement
to play for the army team against the
navy recently, has record In the net
game that stands without parallel.
For Il period of nineteen years, from
1892 to 1911. with the single lapse Of
1898, when lie was serving in the Span
ish-American war, Larned held II place
in the ranking ten Of the United States
Larncd held the national singles title
seven times. 1901 and 1902 and 1907 to
1911. inclusive. This mark Is tied by
only one other player, X. ID. Sears. who
held the championship from 1881 to
1851 inclusive. the record for consecu-
tive victories. But Sears was only
prominent in the tennis world during
his regime mt the top, and he did not
face the competition that Larned was
forced to master.
Iarncd was semi-hnalist in 1894.
1898 and 1896 and the runner mp to
Malcolm ID. Whitman In 1900. He also
played on the Davis cup teams of 1902,
1903, 1909 1905 1900 and 1911.
Larncd's style of play. as shown in
the army-navy matches, is of the easy.
graceful, well thought out variety, and
| the smoothncss with which he handles
n racket makes his game very dccep-
tive. In fact, he swings the racket so
/ steadily that it appears as If he Is put
/ ting little force behind the ball, but the
man on the other side of the net knows
differently.
He instantly picked his openings in
/ his last match and shot the ball
/ through many times for pretty place
ments. Without the speed and agility
of youth lie plays n wonderful game.
He certainly must have been well nigh
/ invincible in his title days.

Alaska across Bering strait and over
eastern Siberia to connection with
the Siberian railway. He had his plans
well along when he died. This would
have made 1t possible to go by rail
from Boston or Quebec to Petrograd.
The first thing that suggests itself In
that connection is what would have
been the effect of such railroad upon
the world war? And Mr.. KEENAN, an
