!W YORK, Aug. 3. —Mrs. Grace Ir
a is going to fight the SIOO,OOO suit
Aught against her by Mrs. Jennie
Wtelaw Blalock, who alleged that
s. Irwin alienated the affections of
»s W. Blalock, a Pacific coast turf
n. Mrs. Irwin was once the wife of
Hawaiian sugar man’s son.
Its. Irwin had permitted the case to
by default, but today Justice Clark
Re supreme court allowed her to re
n the default and fight the case on
merits, after she introduced affida
-1 outlining her defense. In her
iers Mrs. Irwin said that when she
j in Reno getting her divorce Bla
i “intruded” frequently. She said
t she herself certainly did not do
thing to alienate his affections.
s to the charges made by Mrs. Bla
; that Mrs. Irwin had given Blalock
iey with which to gamble, the de
lant said that the only money ever
usted by her to Blalock’s care for
1 purposes was that on a few oc
ons she and some of her friends
n looking at the races, would ask
ock to take their money to place
the betting commissioners.
i to the specific charge that Mrs.
n had given Blalock $l,lOO with
h to buy a racer named Brighouse,
Irwin said:
he truth about Bughouse is that
)Ck told me that the horse could
>ught for $l,lOO, and that that sum
far below its real value. I relied
his advice and gave him $l,lOO
which to buy the horse. He after
told me that he had shipped the
al to my stables in San Francisco,
rouse was left at the post the
first race he ran under my colors.”

Great Agriculture Revival
Is Seen As One of Results
Os The Great War in Europe
LONDON, Aug. 3.—One of the ef
fects of the war will be teen in a
great revival of agricultural life in
England and the United Kingdom. The
outbreak of the conflict caught the
British Isles dependent on foreign
commerce for four-fifths of their food
supply, barring meat, of which be
tween 60 and 70 per cent is produced
at home.
The motto of a few years ago, ‘ Back
to the Land,” thus has given w’ay to
the slogan, “England must feed her
self.” Lord Selborne, the leader of
the crusade declares that the attain
ment of this object is the country’s
sacred duty, and he emphasizes the
point that the farmer can do as much
for the country as the soldier in the
trenches.
Plans for the great reform include
a number of important measures to be
put into effect at the earliest possible
moment. They include the follow
ing:
1. The repopulation of the rural
districts and afforestation. The War
Office has just consented to the ex
change of many of the older men who
in the earlier days of the war left farm
work for the firing line for men be
tween 19 and 30 to take their places
at the front. This exchange will be
gin immediately.
2. The setting aside of thousands
of acres for the settlement on the co
operative plan of England’s soldidrs
and sailors after the war. This ex
pediency is provided for by the Small
holding Colonies Act, now half-way
through Parliament. The scheme will
provide for model villages, better
housing, with a garden to every cot
tage, reading rooms, libraries pnd good
schools. Conceived by Lord Selborne,
the idea has aroused so much enthus
iasm that a wide demand has been
made for increasing the land to be
devoted to it by almost as much again
as is specified in the bill.
3. The importation of natives from
South Africa for agricultural labor
during the remainder of the war,
though so many objections have been
raised to this that there is little likeli
hood of its being adopted.
It is believed that the plan for
biinging back soldiers from the front
will have the effect of providing suf
ficent farm labor practically immed
iately. In announcing the War Office’s
consent to the transfers, an expert
told the Agricultural Society that in
England and Scotland, as well as in
Ireland, the farm in many districts
had fallen far below their minimum
needs in the matter of labor.
The tendency to regard more ser
iously the country’s capacity for
growing larger crops is illustrated by
the figures of the wheat, barley nod
oats crops in England and Wales.
Wheat and oats were grown in larger
quantities, though the barley crops
were much smaller. There were 5,489,-
939 acres devoted to the three cereals
in England and Wales in 1915, an in
crease of 248,044 acres as compared
with 1914. The greatest increase in
acreage was devoted to wheat, or 2,-
170,170 acres in all, the figures rep
resenting an increase of acres
(20 per cent), greater than in 1914 and
25 per cent greater than during any
of the years between 1905 and 1915.
Every country returned increased
areas, the total for Wales of 11.23
acres (31 per cent), being the great
est.
The returns for 1915 give 2,088,047
acres under oats, an increase of 158,-
421 acres as compared with 1914, but
only 24,869 acres above- the average
for the past ten years. The whole of
this increase was in England. The
reduction of the areas under barley
amounted to 158,421 acres, the total
acreage of 1,231,722 being the lowest
yet recorded.
Perhaps to no individual as much as
to the Earl of Selborne is due the
credit of bringing home to the people
of all classes the iportance of taking
prompt means of making the country
more nearly self-supporting in food
stuffs. In all of his addresses in re
cent years he has laid stress on the
point. A practical farmer and the
enthusiast on his large end fertile
tiact in Hampshire, he has been able
to meet the objections of opponents of
expert knowledge to the great advant
age of his crusade.
As Under Secretary for the Colonies
between 1895 and 1900, as ■''ell as dur
ing his term of office as Higs Cdmmis
sioner of South Africa immediately
after the war he had further oppor
tunity of enlarging his knowledge as
to agriculture.

FROM THEGERMANS
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—German enter
prise having startled the world by
sending to the United States a mer
chant submarine boat, is said by relia
ble authority to be preparing further
to excite admiration by linking the
two countries through a trans-Atlantic
air service.
It is known that German aeronautic
genius has perfected a huge triple
screw triplane, which is of sufficient
power and endurance to cross the At
lantic.
Tests of this aircraft have proved its
possibilities and it is declared the ex
act date of the flying blockade run
ner’s arrival depends only upon pro
pitious atmospheric conditions.
The giant air vehicle will carry sev
eral tons of mail, a crew of twenty
men and gasoline sufficient for a 7,000
mile journey. The machine, the Inter
national News service informant states,
will be sent on its way from the huge
base at Heligoland. It is expected the
running time to America will be about
thirty hours.
Official announcement of this prom
ised spectacular achievement, it is
said, has been delayed in hope the
Bremen, the second merchant subma
rine, would bring more complete in
formation, and, perhaps, some photo
graphs.
The following specifications of the
gigantic machine are given: Weight
cf triplane, ?5,000 pounds; length of
hull, 75 feet; beam, 25 feet; speed 120
miles an hour; capacity fuel tanks, 7,-
000 gallons of gasoline; main sabin in
hull accommodates 18 persons.
The superstructure consists of three
superposed planes, each having a span
oi 150 feet. A pontoon is attached to
the tip of each lower plane. Two
hydroplanes, pneumatic life preservers
and fire extinguishers will be conven
iently carried for use in case of acci
dent.
The power plant consists of six 250
horsepower motors. Each motor can
be operated as a separate power plant
io case of damage to any one.
The aerial project is said to me fath
ered by Albert Ballin, president of the
Hamburg-American line.

LARGE PER CENT.
Pl BUM SOUTH
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 3.—Dur
ing June 1916, Southern Railway Com
pany disbursed for labor, material,
supplies and other purposes $5,328,320,
of which $4,589,493 or 86.12 per cent
was paid to individuals an l industries
located in the South. Due to the pro
gress made by the company in its im
provements, large amounts were ex
pended during the month for construc
tion purposes; the total amount dis
bursed by the Company during the
month in the South was $614,806 in
excess of the total moneys contributed
by the South for transportation pur
poses, according to figures announced
today by Comptroller A. H. Plant,
showing the results of operation of the
company for the month of June, 1916,
and for the period of twelve months
ended June 30, 1916, compared with
the same month and period in 1915 and
1914 exclusive of interest, rentals and
dther Income charges. The compar
ison with 1914 is made for the reason
that in 1915 the effect of the business
depression was reflected through the
revenues of the Company.
Gross revenue, June 1916, $5,678,124,
an increase as compared with 1915, of
$934,564 or 19.70 per cent, and as com
pared with 1914 of $445,724 or 8.52 per
cent.
Operating expenses, taxes and un
collectable railway revenue, June 1916
$4,0i1,869, an increase as compared
with 1915 of $407,744 or 11.31 per cent,
pnd a decrease as compared with 1914
of $447,359 or 10.03 per cent.
In addition to the foregoing operat
ing expenses, the company spent in
June, 1916, for improvements to road
way and structures $713,383.33 as
against $529,718.85 during June 1915
and $379,652.48 during June 1914.
Corresponding results for the twelve
month’s periods are as follows:
Gross revenue this year $69,997,675,
an increase as compared with 1915 of
$7,798,166 or 12.54 per cent, and a de
crease as compared with 1914 of $753,-
322 or 1.06 per cent.
Operating expenses, taxes and un
collectable railway revenues this year
$48,993,670, an increase as compared
with 1915 of $194,215 or 0.40 per cent,
and a decrease as compared with 1914
of $5,446,369, or 10.00 per cent.
In addition to the foregoing operat
ing expenses, the company spent dur
ing the twelve months this year, for
improvements to roadway and struc
tures $8,556,432.08, as against $8,970,-
965.50 during the same period in 1915
and $2,970,688.09 during the same per
iod in 1914.

IMPORTS OF PRINTING
PAPER SHOW INCREASE
•
I view of the present exceeding high
price of print ppaer and the claim on
the part of the the manufacturers
that a scarcity of wood pulp is re
sponsible for it, the following report
ot the United States Commerce de
partment recently made will be of in
terest to those affected by the pres
ent situation:
Printing paper or new’s print, as it
is usually designated, is the most im
portant export from Quebec to the
Uhited States. In 1913 the value of
this product exported to the United
States was a little over $1,000,000; in
1914 it had increased to $4,000,000,
and in 1915 to $5,100,432. No other
exports can show a similar increase.
Moreover it will probably continue,
as the yaper-making industry is be
coming more and more developed
from year to year, due to an abund
ance of undeveloped water power and
practically unlimited forest resourc
es in the Province.
The American demand for different
classes of pulp wood in the early
part of 1915 did not equal that of the
preceding year, and the exports for
the year declined in value compared
with 1914. This decrease, however,
was in peeled and rossed woods only,
as the quantity and value of the rough
-wood increased. The decrease in
pulp wood exports was probably due
more to the desire of Quebec dealers
to hold their wood for higher prices
than to a shortage, which conclusion
seems justified by an increased de
mand for all classes of wood this
year at enhanced prices.
There were slightly increased ex
ports of the different classes of pulp
,to the United States in 1915. The
, mechanically-grouped pulp exports
declined, however, by over $600,000,
which loss was more than made good
by the exports of the unbleached
chemical.
The exports of lumber to the United
I States decreased by nearly SBOO,OOO.
I Shipments of deals to the United
i Kingdom were larger than usual, al
, though the trade was hampered by
i the advance in ocean freight rates
l and the difficulty of obtaining cargo
‘ space. The exportation of pit props
for use in English coal mines was
i begun during the year and shows
promise of developing.
