Presi dent Wilson will arrive here soon to occupy the summer capital, "Shadow Lawn," and receive formal notifica tion of his nomination. His sojourn in this heretofore unlucky mansion should be lucky if his lucky number is still working, for this is the thirteenth year since the magnificent place built by the late John A. McCall of the New York Life Insurance company, in 1903, was opened. Onlv misfortune followed the three persons who have previously lived here. McCall, who spared no expense and who is credited with having spent a million dollars on "Shadow Lawn" and its sixty-five acres of ground, beauti fied with over fifty thousand dollars worth of shrubbery and trees, and containing an artif ical lake and a fifty thousand dollar 'stable and garage, spent only one season in the big white building on the hill before troubles came thick upon him. Joseph White, the Texas postage stamp millionaire, who founded his fortune on a bid for bonds in the sec ond Cleveland administration, made it his home for several years before his financial collapse. J. B. Greenhut, the New York mer chant prince, who next purchased it, last year became a bankrupt. But the superstitious say the rule of three having been followed to the end, the hoodoo now is broken.

It has been re garded as almost too pretentious and dignified for a mere private residence. Shadow Luwn today is a Mecca for motorists, and is visited by hundreds of sight-seers daily. From the upper stories may be seen the summer homes of Presidents Grant and Garfield on the ocean, less than a mile away. An idea of the size of the building may be gained from the fact that twenty five telephones have been installed for the convenience of the President's household. ' Last fall former Senator Jones Smith, Jr., made the suggestion that it was ideally located for the Presi dent's headquarters in a national cam paign. Credit for bringing the summer White House to Long Beach is partic ularly due to these New Jerseyites': B. li. Robbitt, State auditor and editor of the Long Beach Record; Dr. George H. Baker, Richard H. Deeves, Myron T. Oppenheim, Dr. Joseph T. Welch, benator John W. Slocum, Kditor Jas. Kearny, of the Trenton Times, Repre sentaives Thomas J. Scully, Appeals Court Judge Henry S. Tcrhune, Sena tor Henry E. Ackerson, Jr., Public Utility Commissioner, J. Lyle Km- month, editor of the Asbury Park Press, and Charles F. McDonald. Constipation and Indigestion.

A British army chaplain returned from France today told of stopping at a wayside shrine in Flanders, where Belgian soldiers, kneeling in prayer, were following the chant of their priest until t)he father started the Paternoster. At the words: "As we forgive those who trespass against us," there was silence. Not a man replied. v- The priest, hesitated . and started again. Suddenly a steady voice rang out from the back, clearly intoning th words that pledge one to forgive his enemies. It was the voice of Al bert, King of tflie Belgians. His sol diers then repeated after him, word for word. L it'WHWaW W"" HIM' n Till3 B mi or S.U U.&&Mta Jd-P- KrtJ.iB.M. The r C B r , K Li E : Kl I Askycurrocer-ne u Submarine Venture Worries British. 'Baltimore, Md., July 21 The giant U-Boat DeutscMand, which made his tory by cruising from Germany to this oort with a $700,000 cargo of merchandise, is scheduled to start back to Germany today with a cargo of badly needed supplies for the Fatherland. If, as the promoters of the commercial company that built the DeutscMand claim, this is only the beginning of undersea' commerce between the tow countries, the British blockade has not only been permanently pierced, but Great Britain faces a crisis in her commercial export trade, according to what is being said and done in London. Some time before the Deutschland arrived at this port, the merchants and manufactures of Eng land were frightened by the seeming ly authentic report that Germany bad stored up $1,800,000,000, or nearly two billion dollars worth of goods readv to dumo on tho markets of the world after the war. The Britishers organized at once the Association of Trade Protective societies, with 50, 000 members and adopted a resolu tion urging the government to help head off the flood of German goods through the establishment and oper ation of a Ministry of Commerce. Should the undersea commerce ven ture of Germany, while the war still is in progress, prove practical on a big scale, England will be powerless to crush the Teutonic commercial competition and will, it is believed, face a serious situation in dealing witfh her world markets, particularly after the war and somewhat immed iately.
