Paris, Apr. 15.-InfOrmation receiv-
ed in government quarters now es-
tablishes the fact that naval battle
occurred between the Japanese fleet
consisting of fourteen war ships and
the Russian forces under the late
Vice Admiral Makaroff. From this the
officials strongly believe that the de-
struction of the Russian ships and
the loss of Admiral Makaroff resulted
from the naval engagement. HOwev-
er, the only definite official informa-
ton is that the battle occurred and
it is believed that the Japanese sub
marine boats took part in the en-
gagement and caused the destruction
OF the Russian ships.
New York, Apr. 15.-The express
sions from St. Petersburg of the be-
lief that the Japanese are using SUBJ
marine boats in their Port Arthur at
tacks are given color by the state
ment of a retired naval officer OF
this city. He declares it to be the
only way to account for the success
sion of disasters met by the Rus
sian ships. "It is Incredible" he said,
that ships which undoubtedly have
charts of the mines should be blown
up by them One of the first things
Admiral Makaroff did when he reach
ed Port Arthur was to survey the
harbor and locate the mines. What
is the sense in these constant bonn
bardments II they are not feints to
entice the Russian ships out. The
theory that the Petropavlovsk struck
one OF her own mines and that the
Japanese planted mine during the
night are both untenable. and we
know that the japanese have sub
marines. A United States naval off,

THANKSGIVING FANTASIES

of Old England.

| of Old England.
Those who are not satisfied unless
everything is explained have puzzled
not i little over the growing custom OF
celebrating Thanksgiving day by pa
rades of curiously clad boys and girls,
footing horns and accosting passersby
The theory most favored is that the
| custom is survival Of the English an
nual rejoieings over Guy Fawkes day
This is the explanation adopted by Pro
fessor Brander Matthews and other
scholars.
Guy Fawkes lived in the last years
of the sixteenth century and gained
fame by being the best known member
Of Il conspiracy which was formed to
blow up the houses of parliament by
firing nine barrels of gunpowder hid
den in the cellars. When the plot was
revealed by treachery the members of
the plotting group We're. in the pleasant

as Il day Of thanksgiving, because it
was on the 9TH that the powder was to
have been exploded.
1t was the custom to build bonfres,
to ring bells, to toot horns and especial
ly to rig up a fantastic figure in gay
rags and hang it as an efiigy of
Fawkes. This was paraded through
the streets and consumed, after it had
been hung up and well pelted, in the
evening bonfire In time the custom
was added Of selecting Il party of
young people to dress in ridiculous dis
guises to personate Fawkes, lockwood
Winter and the other conspirators
Fawkes day has almost died out of
observance in England. 1t is curious
that its customs should live in this
country by the mere accident that two
national holidays come at about the
same time.
But. after all. it isn't necessary to
have things explained. The boys pa
