Kalamazoo, Mich.,, Aug 4.—The free for all pace failed to develop the expected sensation in yesterday’s Grand Circut program. Single G won the race easly. In both heats the In- diana pacer trailed to the half before starting his spurt, and neither heat was considered exceptionally fast the time being 2:02 and 2:03 1-4. Single G-was a $15 to $30 favorite in the betting. The 2:07 trot was the only real con- test of the day, Grand Chimes, the favorite, winning after Miss Perfec- tion had made a string bid by taking the second and third heats through strong finishes in the stretch.

Cleveland Boy Said to Be After Return Match With Leonard. Out in Cleveland Johnny Kilbane is quoted as saying that he hankers strangly for another bout with Benny Leonard. This time Johnny wants to try a longer route, " say of twelve rounds. All of which is well and good, because a twelve round return match ought to net quite a fat purse for Kilbane despite the unexpected end- ing of their last bout. However, in making his request for a return match Johnny is quoted as saying that he was not in condition in his recent fight. As we recall reports from his train- ing camp Johnny did a little bronco busting, played a little baseball, did some boxing and spent several hours in road work. Possibly he wants a chance to take a few trial jolts from a, pile driver in making ready next time. KERENSKY RESIGNS, THEN REGONSIDERS Minister of Agriculture Accused of Being German Employe Petrograd, Aug. 4.—As the result of accusations of being connected with the German General Staff, made against M. Tchernoff, the socialist minister of agriculture, whose resig- nation they had accepted and of a complete breakdown of the negotia- tions to bring the constitutional Dem- ocrats into the Cabinet, Premier Ker- ensky and his fellow ministers, with the exception of Vice Premier Nek- rasoff, resigned last night. Later all save M. Terestchanko, the foreign minister withdrew their resignations. A last attempt will be made to re- construct the ministry under Premier Kerensky with the chief new mem- bers being exclusively from the so- cialist and radical parties. In a letter to Premier Kerensky tendering his resignation. M. Tcher- | noff said his motive was to obtain freedom of action in order to defend his character. His colleagues in ac- ceding to his request expressed the conviction that he would succeed in rehabilitating himself. Vice Premier Nekrasoff informed The Associated Press that some of the documents supposed to incriminate M. Tchernoff already had been examined. He considered the charges against the minister of agriculture as not being very grave, but the Cabinet was obliged to accept the resignation pro- visionally. These documents are said to indicate that he made contributions to a newspaper in Switzerland which has relations with the German Gener- al staff. It is reported that the prot- folio of agriculture will be left vacant temporarily. Captain Nemitz has been promoted to be Rear Admiral and Commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. He succeeds Vice Admiral Kolchak in command of the fleet. The commanding general of the twelfth Russian army has decided that al] soldiers belonging to units which difbanded owing to mutiny or refusai | to take part in an offensive shall wear on their arms a distinctive emblem which shall be black in color. When their conduct under fire shall have re- habilitated them they will be per- mitted to discard the emblem. London, Aug., 4—The negotiations between the Russian Cabinet Premier Kerensky and the constitutional demo- crats with a view to the latter joining a coalition gavernment, says a Reuter dispatch from Petrograd dated Thurs- day, have been broken off. A dispatch to the same news agency dated Friday in Petrograd, says that M.

When the Teutons were finally stopped on French soil and the -Allies began to push them back almost inch -by inch this gun was captured, together with a large amount of ammunition.

It is not creating widows and orphans, but is doing re- cruiting duty.

Crack New Haven Team to Meet Pio- neers Here Tomorrow Afternoon. The crack Cedar Hill team, c¢dn- sidered to be the fastest in an around New Haven, will make their first ap- pearance in this city since 1915, to- morrow afternoon, when they tackle the Pioneers on the Ellis street dia- mond. Followers of the locals will remember the last time the C. H. ag- gregation showed their wares to New Britain fans, defeating the Pioneers in a brilliant twelve inning tussel 1 to 0. Anticipating a tough battle tomor- row, the Pioneers have put in con- siderable time during the week prac- ticing for the game. Manager Luby is undecided on his pitching selection, but the choice probably lies between Dudack or Lynch, with Corkins on the receiving end. BELGIAN WORKERS ARE SENT T0 PRISON German Officials Punish Work- men Who Assert Rights Havre, France. July 25.—(Corre- spondence of The Associated Press). —The Beigian government has re- ceived information to the effect that deported Belgians working in the Thyssen Works at Mulheim on Ruhr, declared that as the Germans had vi- olated their promise to send back home at the end of four months they would prefer to die rather than to continue. The Germans imposed & fine of 30 marks each and imprison- ment for 10 days upon the men. One hundred and eighty Belgians in another German factory refusing to continue work after four months, were deprived of food and thirteen of them were imprisoned at Munster. The Riebecksche Works, employ- ing Belgian civilians in their mines, deprived the men of all naurishment for five days In order to force them The directors of this con- cern justified their action, saying, that the privation was not absolute, but was necessary to overcome the | passive resistance of the workmen. Belgian civilians working at the munition factory at Grosse Wuster- urtz and at Westfalischwerke were obliged to transport hand gren- ades after having vainly protested against being put to such work. The Belgian government has other proofs that a great many deported Belgians, in spite of their unanimous desire to return to Belgium, were not allowed even to attend the funerals of their relatives: sons were refused the consolation of going home to bury their mothers. to have entirely escaped the super ion of the dclesates of neutral coun- tries, the Germans ' putting forw the pretext that they are not prison- ers of war.

Named After Hero. Paris, July 25.—The “Emilienne Moreau” one of the new roses that won a prize in the annual competi- | tion at the Bagatelle Rose Gardens, was named after the ‘heroine of Loos, . the girl who helped to save British wounded under fire and even shoul- dered a rifle to help the soldiers drive the Germans from the town in the great battle which resulted in its capture. It is a magnificent white rose with very large petals and with a foliage of a very deep green. The Edith Cavell, one of last year's productions at the Bagatelle Gardens, was shown alongside it. The fudges of the rose show adopt- ed resolutions asking legislators of the allied countries to give to new flowers the same protection that is given to artistic productions, lifera: ture, inventions, trade marks. A new flower, they asserted, represents quite tion of a work of art or literature. Merchant Craft Successfful, London, July 25.—The merchant marine has carried success- fully to their destinations 8.000,000 | men and 10,000,000 tons of war ma- | terial, said Commander Dixon Cal- | thorp recently, describing the work | done by the Navy. In six months of last year only one ! as much patient effort as the produc-| British | in a thousand ships passing through Dover patrol had been sunk or dam- aged. Up to January of this year not a life had been lost in the transport of men from this country to France. In the course of the war 1,000,000 sick and wounded men had been transported to this country,, more than 1,000,000 horses and mules, 50,- 000,000 gallons of petrol. 100,000,000 hundred-weights of wheat and 7.000,- 000 tons of iron ore. Referring to submarines he said there were a great many German widows and orphans who doubted the success of the U-boat. There were many women in Germany whose hus- bands did not come back.

Amsterdam, July—Establishment of | the German University in the United States in order to increase the influ- ence of German-Americans in that country is spggested by Rudolf Euck- en formerly a university exchange professor. Discussing in the Hams= burger Nachrichten what he called small influence exercised by German- Americans, professor Eucken attribut«s ed this to the lack of higher German educational institutions in America and of a pro-German press in Eng- land. Both these defects, he said, could be remedied.
