REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-If it wasn't
for Freddie Welsh, the British holder
of the lightweight gonfalon, there
wouldn't be any international sporting
events a-tall in 1915. Bill, Nick,
George and Prexy Poincare, who
wields the baton over sunny France,
seem to have a corner on the interna-
tional sporting events which they re-
fuse to relinquish.
Getting bromide, if it hadn't been
for the war, 1915 stood an excellent
chance at going down in history as
one of the greatest 1856 days in the
annals of sport. Its predecessor, 1914,
was undeniably the greatest one un-
til the struggle started, and 1915 bids
fair to eclipse it.
Prospects for 1916 don't look espe-
cially alluring, either. Certain it is
that even should the war close before
the next New Years day, Europe will
be in no position to stage sporting
events of any great moment. Berlin,
according to reports from the Ger
man capital, has not yet relinquished
all hope of staging the 1916 Olympic
games, but from this safe and sane
angle it doesn't look probable.
Then, too, many of the old worlds
athletes have. been killed in the war.
They flocked to the colors early in the
fray. Even should they emerge with
two arms and two legs their days of
physical prowess will probably have
been left in the trenches and new
crop will have to be developed.
So until somebody knocks off Fred
die Welsh-and judging from the way
he is sidestepping bouts where he
stands to lose his crown, it doesn't
seem likely-Americans are going to
have to be satisfied with contests
among themselves. 1t looks, at that,
as though Earl Kitchener and Wins
ton Churchill overlooked good be.
when they allowed Freddie to embark
for these United States. He has shown
a remarkable aptitude for getting out
of tight places where a decisive out
come was imminent. What a won
derfut .strategist the Vslshmanj you'd
have made! If he could circumvent
the Germans and Austrians as he has
American contenders for his title the
war would soon be over. What?

LONDON, Feb. 10.-(By Mail to
New York. )-How the German gun
ners used up fifty "coal boxes" to kill
a chicken is told by Gunner NJ. l..
Gregory, of the Fifth Siege battery,
royal garrison artillery.
"We were ordered to take up a po-
sition near to deal with bat

Says. "Rain came down in torrents
but we got our guns into position,
though it was no easy task as we
were ankle-deep in mud. Before day
light we prepared for action, and at
6:45 the signal was given.
"The roar of our guns and the
screaming of the shells through the
air made it almost impossible for US
to know whether the shells were COM
ing or going. Still we went on, not
in the least concerned. About fifteen
minutes later, while we were still
sending our Souvenirs three great
11-inch German shells came clean
over our heads. There was terrific
explosion and on loking round saw
that the "coal-boxes" had burst clear
Of our battery. We continued firing
and the Germans replied. In all they
sent US more than fifty 11-inch shells,
and as far as / know they killed-a
chicken. Although our guns are not
as big as the 'coal-box purveyors,' we
did very well, and by IL o'clock that
morning our infantry were able to adj
vance. We captured the enemy's first
line trenches and good number of
prisoners. The artillery work was
greatly praised by our general"
The British guns are probably The
6-inch siege guns of which Sir John
French expressed his appreciation.

TALES OF THE TELEGRAPH.

Mrs. Jackson Gourand, of Paris,
formerly of California, is in New York
and is giving the New York newspa-
per reporters something to talk about.
She is accompanied by her young lady
daughter and Alexander Miskinoff, a
good looking Russian, 20 years Of age.
1t was reported last June that the
young man and Mrs. Gouraud were
married in London. Mrs. Gouraud
says there is nothing in it. Alexan-
der Miskinoff has room opening in
to hers at the hotel, and wandered
into her room when Mrs. Gouraud was
being interviewed by newspaper
man. Mrs. Gouraud seems always to
have been talked" about. Many years
ago, when she was a girl, back in
California, two men played game of
poker to see which one should marry
her. A man named Ashe held four
aces and won her. After year of
married life with Ashc the girl he had
won ulFOfttu nm anu nldIIlto Vic
other man in the poker game. Later
she divorced that man and married
Jack Gouraud. He has been dead four
years. This rumor about his widow
being married to Alexander Miskinoff,
whose room at the hotel opens into
hers, does not disturb her at all. She
calls him prince Miskinoff, and said
airily to the reporters, 81 am always
being accused Of marrying somebody,
and have been guilty several times,
but this time ! am innocent. am
not married to Prince Miskinoff.' '
The reporters take smash at Mrs
Gouraud for trying to give the i'm

with her at the hotel is a prince

BREAD PRICES CAUSE
CONCERN IN PUEBLO

United Press.
PUEBLO, Colo, Feb. 27.-Bread
prices are still causing concern in Pu-
eblo. At a recent meeting of the
Master Bakers association is was
agreed that the price of bread would
have to be increased or the size of
the loaves reduced. The bakers gen.
orally agreed that practically the only
solution would be in advancing the
price for the standard sized loaf Of
bread, as it would not only cost prac-
tically as much to make a smaller
loaf, but the quality Of the bread was
sacrificed in endeavoring to reduce
the size.
Bakers with established ten cent
brands of bread declared it would be
impossible for them to reduce the
size of their loaves as the pans and
wrappers which they now have on
hand would be useless.

Amy in Wide World, we had striking

strangely misty object, blending elu-
sively into water and sky in the way
that 20 often takes the heart from

was its first noticeable feature, but
as we approached it's great size
made us forget everything else. The
captain ran as close as he dared and
its mile Of length and sixty feet Of
height rose near us like magniied
block left at the door by the iceman
with the difference that in this
gigantic block there was enough ice
TO stock all America for years. Since
the opening Of navigation it had been
in the same place, stranded two miles
outside our course, and at that time
it was three miles long and a mile
wide. On our return some weeks la
ter it was still there, but we saw three
blocks instead of one. The, sun was

Twelve more engineering corps have
been placed in the field to survey the
land grants which are owned by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
in Arizona. These grants aggregate
more than 100000 acres of land,
which lie in Mojave, Yavapal, Cocoon
ino, Navajo and Apache counties. The
survey work was started early in
January, when twelve engineering
parties entered the field. This latest
addition makes total of twenty-four
engineering corps that are engaged
in the work. 1t is expected that the
surveys will be finished about June 10.
The cost will be about 100000, one
half of which will be borne by the
railroad and the other by the govern
ment. 1t is reported that the Santa
Fe expects to place large areas of the
surveyed lands upon the market.

Linens are becoming scarce and
prices are being moved higher every
week, states Dunn's Review The un-
derlying cause is the shortage of flax
brought on by the war in Europe:
Contributing causes are the require

poses, the very high rates of trans

can be paid. Flax values have al

known in the trade. Belgian and Rus

two roads are identified with the
