MEXICO CITY. Aug. 10. — A clash
between Heinrich Von Eckhardt. the
Herman minister to Mexico, and Mexl
I
can newspaper photographers In which
it Is declared that the German dip
lomat came to blows with the news
paper men, enlivened the recent ses
sion of the Mexican National Com
mercial Congress, held here. Herr
Von Eckhardt Is the man who was
directed hy Dr. Alfred Zimmerman,
then German foreign minister, to
make arrangements to bring Mexico
and Japan Into war with the United
States. He, with other members of
the diplomatic corps, and President
Carrnnza. attended the opening session j
of the congress.
Newspaper photographers sent to
snnp the president, set up their
cameras in the aisle close to the Ger-]
man minister, who was seated at the !
end of the row of seats to keep him
as far distant as possible frorp the
representatives of the entente allies,
who occupied the same row. Von Eck
hardt protested, In what the proto
graphers described as a rough and
caustic manner, that he did not In
tend to be annoyed hy photographers,
but the camera men paid little at
tention and protographed President
Carranza and the diplomatic corps
which was directly behind Von Eck
hardt.
When the flashlight charge explod
ed, say the photographers, Von Eck
hardt remonstrated, not only with
words but with blows.
El Excelsior, In commenting on the
incident the next morning, declared '
that a diplomat of Von Eckliardfs
experience should have learned before
this how to conduct himself toward
the press. 1

HONOLULU, Aug. 10. — A new pro
esB In the growing of RUgar cane
was announced today by Its inventor,
Charles F. Kckart, manager of the
)laa Sugar Company, on the island
of Hawaii, which, according to Mr.
ICckart. practical tests have shown
■vlll increase the sugar output by
many thousands of tons and the re
•enue of the sugar planters by mil- •
'ions of dollars each year. {
The process is one for destroying 1
veeds in cane fields. In the warm c
limate of Hawaii and other sugar I
jroducing countries weeds grow with (
remarkable rapidity and prodigiality 1
and much of the expense connected *
with the production of sugar is caused
by the necessity of weeding the cane.
This requires immense gangs of labor- 1
ars almost constantly.

WOIN DIPLOMAT
AT THE HAGUE
(Ry Associated Press)
LONDON. Aug. 10. — The first wo
man diplomatist to Hit at a table ol
diplomatic negotiation, according t<
>hr Lilly Mall. Is Mrs. Darley Living
stone, who was one of the six Rrlt
ish official representatives at th<
Anglo-German conference at The
Hague recently to deal with question*
on prisoners of war.
Mrs. Livingstone Is an American
married to a British officer and ha*
been a member and secretary of the
government committee on (he treat
mont b> the enemy of British prison
ers nines it was formed, two years
ago.
In the early days of the war Mrs
Livingstone used to do all the Inter
viewing of the sick and wounded pi Is
oners who were returned periodically,
and although this work is now done
largely by a large staff of volunteers,
she still makes it a point of person
ally,. Interviewing all escaped prison
ers of war.
Mrs. Livingstone, talking about her
visit to The Hague, said:
‘ People did seem surprised to find
1 woman among the British represen
latives. I am sure I don't know why,
because there is really nothing that
women are not doing in England to
iay, is there? I had no means of tell
ng what the German representatives
hought. because, of course, we didn't
aik to each other — not socially, I
nean. Indeed, it would be quite im
jossigle to give you an adequate idea
>f the extreme formality of the pro
■codings.
"I was there merely to assist Sir
iobert Younger, our chairman, with
nformation which as secretary of the
■ immlttee 1 naturally have at com
pand.. it was real hard work all the
ime. and both parties were concerned
olely w ith the welfare of the prlson
■ s. Questions concerning them were
he only ones discussed, and I think
he ag-eements concluded will be
ound to be very satisfactory.”

LONDON, Aug. 10. — American
luejacl.ets on duty in Europe in wat
rs have a nackname of their own for
^gland's sailors and soldiers They
all them ‘'limey’s;'’ the individual be
ag known as u "lime.” The American
an sailor men apply the designation
3 all English fighters just as the
Iritish refer to their soldiers as
Tommies."
The sailor from the United States
as his nickname for nearly every
liing he sees. The bluejackets who
ad served In the Near a^id Far East
h-st started calling British sailors and
oldlers “lime Juicers" because of
heir fondness for fruit juice and
harged water. Now the designation
as been shortened down and every
hing British is "limey.” British sati
re’ and soldiers' clubs are known as
limey clubs," and British brewed
tger beer is commonly spoken of as
limey beer.”
NAVAL UN ARE
COFFEE
BASE AMEKICAN FLOTILLAS IN
BRITISH WATERS, Aug. 1U. — Black
coffee Is the popular drink with the
men over here in Uncle Suiii’b teetotal
navy. Steomlng hot cofree is always
on tap on board the destroyers when
they are out looking for submarines.
The men say it not only keeps them
awake, but serves also us a stimulant
and protector against the rigorous cli
matic. conditions under which they
labor. They havo not yet carried on
| bourd ship the afternoon tea habit
| which they have formed ashore, and
found such a satisfactory substitute
for the use of alcoholic drinks.
The vast majority of the men s \y
they do not miss the absence of in
toxicating drink on board their ships.
Those who want it can get it ashore
from midday until eight in the even
ing, but for the vaBt majority the li
quor saloons have very little charm.
The record of the men as a whole In
this respect, say their officers, has
been one of the ^gratifying features
of their stay here.
The patrols, therefore, have very
little to do but walk up and down the
main street of the village In search
of the trouble that seldom comes.
