BOXING CHANGES
LIKELY IN WAR
Champions Of Europe Liable

New York. Aug. s.-The war in
Europe may not, only reform the map
Of the continent but it may bring
about changes in the worlds boxing
situation. Four boxing champions may
be lost to the roped arena before
peaceSin restored. Jack johnson. the

Georges Carpenter, who is recognize
ed as the. white heavyweight cham
pion; Bombardier Wells. the oft-de-
feated,, but still heavyweight cham
pion of Great Britain, and Charles LIE
Douex, the bantamweight title holder
Of Europe, are all subjsrt to the call
to the colors.
Jack johnson, a native-born Ameri-
can, renowned his allegiance to this
country after being convicted Of vio-
lating the Mann act and became a
citizen Of France. President Poin-
eaire has called every man in France
under As years of age to the colors.
Johnson is SO years of age and viii
have to fight is the report from

Carpenter and Ledoux have al.
ready answered the call and are
Awaiting the word to advance Bonn.
Pardier Wells. who saw service in In
Ola, is reservist in the British army
and will be called upon when Tommy
Atkins boards the troop ship.
1t may be. too, that Freddy Welsh,
newly. crowned lightweight champion
Of the world, will be forced to answer
the call to arms. Welsh has had no
military experience. but If the time
comes when England needs men, it is
more than probable that he will take

Germans Will Surprise World
AS Masters of the Air; So Says
Aviator, Secret Agent of Power

Chicago, Aug. 6-Germany is 60
ing to surprise the world by her mas
terry of the air, according to an ex-
pert aviator in the secret service of
a great world power. Under the
guise of professional aviator he has
flown over every capital in Europe,
making photographs with a secret
camera attached to his machine for
the war ministry archives of his gov
ernment AS a. designer and operator
of aeroplanes he is widely known. He
SAYS:
Germany and not France ranks
first in war aviation. The ponderous
dfrigible, not the fleet aeroplane, is
the most destructive machine that
scars.
Germany stands ready to asssil
Paris. Warsaw and even London by
an attack from the air. and the odds
are against the defenders.
While Frenchmen have been cap
turing the prizes in aerial contests,
Germany has been far from idle. Aft
er experiments with every kind of
engine that scars the air she has
abandoned the newer. heavier than
air creations for the dirigible of an
cient origin. This she has made the
deadliest machine that flies.
II have worked as an itinerant me-
chanic on the military air craft of
every nation of Europe.
Germany and France represent
two distinct and different types in air
fighting. France stakes her all on
the aeroplane. The Gnome motor is
her foundation. Germans cannot
duplicate it. The Russian air corps
are mere shadow of the French sys-
tenn. Austria patterns her weak air
corps after Germany. England's sys-
tenn is a composite between the two
without the perfections of either.
The dirigible Is fighting machine
"a dreadnought of the air. And the
aeroplane is a scout cruiser. and lit
tie ese.
Here, in brief. is why the dirigible
surpasses the aeroplane as q fighting
machine:
1T carries a crew of from ten to
twenty-five men to take observations
and direct operations.
Can carry as much as twenty five
tons OF nitro-glycerine cartridges
sufficient to demolish Chicago.
Can hover over a city during night
time in silence, and while slower, can
as 1t can hold stationary position,
while an aeroplane must keep NOV
ing.
Carries rapid-fire guns which can
be aimed with deadly accuracy.
An aeroplane carries four men at
best 1t cannot carry effective pieces
Of ordnance and cannot drop bombs
with any accuracy.
1T can be heard and located by
sound a mile distant. while a dirigible
painted sky color with motors and
lights shut off can neither, be heard
nor seen at night at distance Of zoe
feet.
I'm the war achives of Germany are
complete plans for aerial attacks or
both Paris and London. Details fol-
such attacks have been figured Out
with Metz as the base"

TRIPLE ENTENTE
LONG PREPARED
Assignment of Sea Strength
Had Been Agreed on
Some Time Ago.

Washington. Aug. 6.-For Great
Britain. domination of the Straits of
Dover and the North Sea.
For Russia, operations in the Bal
tice sea.
For France, operations in the Med
iterranean against the Austrian navy
and the German squadron, and If nee
essary against the Italian navy and
the Turks.
Thus, according to information re-
ceived by the navy department. has
the triple entente arranged to meet
the enemy. 1t is not a new plan AS
far back as 1912, the three nations
comprising the entente prepared
against the contingency of war. The
French concentrated all its forces in
the Mediterranean The Russians kept
their ships in the Baltic. The English
strengthened the offensive character
of their home fleet.
In the files of the department there
is an interview with Vice Admiral
Germinet. who has commanded the
French forces in the Mediterranean,
which throws light on the present sit
uation. The admiral declares that the
allied fleets of France, Great Britain
and Russia would prevent Germany,
Austria and Italy from entering the
English channel, by controlling the
Straits of Dover. Upon the outbreak
of war. it was planned that France
and Great Britain should serve notice
upon neutrals that the Straits of Do
yer would be considered as territorial
waters from which neutrla ships
would be excluded during the war.

the destruction of western civilization.
Japan, he. continued, would have been
happy to join the United States in me-
diation, but her possible participation
in the war as an ally of Great Britain
made her an interested party.
The premier said that Japan, If she
were compelled reluctantly. to. inter-
vene, would protect the British coll
onies. but in,no cireumetancesN would
she send a fleet or an army to Europe.

TREES BEAR WITH
SHEEP BELL ONLY

Worland, Wyo., July 30.-Meeting a
large black bear while carrying sup
plies on horseback to a sheep camp,
Dad" Worland, sixty-two, after whom
this town is named, bodily charged the
animal, although unarmed, violently
changing sheep bell.
The bear hestated an instant, then
tore for the timber at top speed and
climbed the first available tree. Wor-
land kept it treed for several hours,
changing the bell whenever it showed
a disposition to come down, in the hope
that some person with a gun would
pass by. 1t was necessary for him to
continue his journey after several
hours. When he last saw the bear it
was still in the tree.

BATHERS' POCKETS
RICH PICKINCS
While Swimmers Disport Themselves
In Water Watches Depart.

In the midst of the whirl of Twen-
tieth Century hurry and hustle, some.
one around Hattiesburg has plenty of
time. He got most of it out of the
pockets of the bathers at Bouie Beach.
During the past week a half dozen
watches have been taken from the
clothes draped from the trees on the
bank, while their owners were dis.
porting themselves in the water.
The watches vary in value from the
humble dollar watch to the fine gold
watch lost yesterday by Frank Fair
ley. The robber did not overlook the
nickle-plated tngersoll in the pocket of
one of the bathers, but took it along
too. Several diamond studs and small
amounts of change have been taken
also.
Both bath houses are now complete
and 1t will be more difficult in the
future to fitch from the pockets be-
cause they will be closer watched
than was possible when the people
left their clothes in the bushes.
