The Austro-Hungarian scare in this | country turns out to have been a false alarm. We have less than 1,800,000 pecople of Austro-Hungarian birth in i the United States. The able-bodied men, capable of military duty, prob- ably number somewhat less than 1 400,000. They are scattered all over | the country. The great majority them, as their racial leaders have de- | clared have so little love for their native land that “they don’t care who | licks Austria.” Few of them were ever beund to their old country by any real ties of patriotism, and the first genuine national loyalty they have ever experienced is the attach- ment they have developed for the land of their adoption.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) | Berlin, Aug. 6.—For the purpose of determining to what extent prices for | Tood have risen since the beginning of, and during the course of, the war, | i the Prussian statistical bureau has compiled a series of figures covering sixteen important products. The figures: given are in pfennigs | (one-quarter of a cent) for one kilo- gram (2.2047 pounds) of the various roods, as follows: Food Ma May 1914. March 15. White flour .... 5 | White bread ..

Great differences have been found, as for example in ilie case of potatoes.

Niles, a former state champion, b n Francisco, and his co: ent play | since, was looked upon as a formid- able opponent for Williams, and a good ctowd turned out this afternoon, chilling drizzle of rain that slowed up the turf courts. But the local man never stood a at any stage of the match. The only two games he did win were the result of Williams’ errors. Only four of the twenty games played went to deuce, and the match was com- pleted in just forty-five minutes.

On his showing this afternoon Wil- liams is picked to give McLoughlin the struggle of his life to retain the famous Longwood Cup teday. The man from the Coast has already won two legs on the trophy, and a victory tomorrow will give him permanent possession. * In his practice matches all this week McLoughlin has not shown his best form, and appears to be several notches shy of his last year's condi- tion. The grass courts seem to slow up his vaunted speed and he evident- 1y pines for the faster playing con- however, at tive state. x The Coast plaver, however, is re- markably resourceful and always into an important match with an immense amount of reserve force and unusual determination, and to- he will probably excel any of his previous performances season. McLoughlin will be spurred on by incentive in defending his Longwood title. He is anxious to score his third victory, and thus-teke home the massive silver cup, but even more does he long for the chance of his last match with Williams.

Boston, Aug. 6.—"Bill” James, one of the three pitchers who figured in the Braves’ sensational climb in the National league race last season, will be of no assistance to the team in its fight to regain the leadership during the next month. President Gaffney announced last night that James had been suspended at his own request in order that he might go to his home in Seattle, Wakh., and rest his pitch- ing arm. Experts who have examined the arm say that only by a complete rest can it be brought back te form. President Gaffney also announced the’ rélease of Maurice Shannon,’ who played with Villanova collége the | past season, to the Rochester Interna- | tional league club.
