 NEY GENERAL.

It is now thot, however, that there will be no delay in the matter of the confirmation.

BURNING CABIN

CENTRAL FLIED WITH CUES, TIONS CONCERNING BLAZE
 AT END OF CUSHMAN

A small cabin burning outside the city limits at the end of Cushman street about ten o'clock last night was the cause of scores calling cen tral and other places to inquire re garding the flames. Being no more than wreck and utterly useless the cabin was set afire by it's owner in order to clear the ground on which it was standing From a distance and owing to the darkness, the fame- really seemed larger than they were. A close watch was kept on the burn ing building to see that the fire did not spread to the surrounding grass and brush altho the rain which fol- lowed shortly served as an excellent safeguard against any chance of the fire spreading.

BERLIN, Aug. 12.-(P) P)-In it's is sue of tonight the NOssische-Zeitung makes a statement to the effect that the submarine freighter Bremen was not sunk in 1916 as has always been pOpularly supposed but mas instead been held by the British naval au- thoritieS since she made her first at tempt to cross the Atlantic, as did her sister shij, the Deutschland. The newspaper COrrOborates it's story by further stating that the entire mem bership of the crew of the former German underseas freighter has ar rived home from England where they have been confined in prison camp since their ship was captured on her maiden voyage.
 As far as has been ascertained the Deutschland was the first submarine to ever cross the Atlantic having made two trips to the United States before d state of war was declared to exist between that country and Germany. At that time the feat as tOnished the maritime world as it had previously been thOt that it could not be accomplished for the reason that it was not supposed that such a craft could carry her own fuel ana supplies for such a lengthy trip.
 At the same time it was announced from German sources that fleet of such underseas craft would be put to work carrying merchandise from the United States to Germany and that the Bremen, q sister ship of the Deutschland, had been placed in com mission for that purpose. And she sailed from WilhelmshaVen with that intention but never reached her des- tlnation, having generally been sup posed to have been lost at sea. II IS now believed, however, altho not Ol, fiCially stated, that she was captured by the British and the members of her crew held prisoners until the close of the war.

whether the national singles lawn
tennis championship goes to an Aus
trailan, Japanese or to one of our
own court stars. when the great tour
nament on the turf courts of the West
SIDE Tennis Club at Forest Hills is
played next month, Of one thing we
may be certain it will be one Of the
greatest national Journeys in the his
tory of the game.
cannot recall when the champion
snip mas been such an open affair as
inns year; In days gone by some 'one
or two players have always stood out
clearly above the other contenders for
tne crown. Perhaps it was Larned. or
McLoughln. or Williams, or Johnston
who showed indications few weeks
before the start of the blue ribbon
event of our courts Of being primcd for
the greatest test Of the season.
But there is no such condition to
guide us this time. The world war has
so upset things that it is almost i'm
possible to tell what player is going
to play up to form and what one is
going to fall down. And then the Wis
iting stralians-Brookes, Patterson.
Lycett and Thomas will they com
pete with our own best? And Ichiya
kumagae, more dangerous seeker
after the national title to- day than
when he first stirred the United States
IN 1916-hoW close will he come to de-
throning the American leaders?
These are questions that can only be
answered when the contenders clash on
the West Side courts. 1t may be, Of
course, that between now and the open
ing of the national singles tourney, on
August 25, some player will strike a
winning pace that will carry every
thing before him and so far outclass
his rivals as to remove almost all doubt
as to his chances in the big event. But
so far nothing of the kind has hap
pened, nor does it seem likely to.
There is also this to be taken into
consideration when trying to figure out
the man who has the best chance Of
battling his way successfully through
the notable field at Forest Hills.
namely, that players who are now at
the very top of their game may sud
denly go stale on the eve of the ma
tional tourney and thus spoil their
hopes Of triumph.
AS matters stand at this writing,
am inclined to place William NJ. John
ston, of California, the new national
clay court champion, and Kumagae,
who won his third successive New York
State title at Utica on Saturday, in the
very front rank of contenders. | have
not seen Richard Norris Williams, I'd,
in tournament play this season, nor do
| know the relative strength of the
mighty Brookes and young Patterson,
who conquered the "old master" at
Wimbledon a few weeks ago in the
