SUBMARINES BECOMING
 MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT.
Austria Has Followed Germany in Making War on Merchantmen.

London, Feb. 9, 1O:10 p. m.-The shark of modern warfare-the sub marine-by means of which Germany has declared she will blockade the British Isles, daily becomes a factor of more and more importance in the great war of Europe with respect to its influence on the policies of the na- tions engaged in connection with the cotra band question, so vital to neu- tral states.
 Almost coincident with the unofficial reports that Austria proposes to fol- low the example of her ally by making war on merchant ships in the Adri- atic, came the announcement by Premier Asquith in the. British house of commons that the much distressed retaliatory plan of Great Britain. though still tentative was much broader in scope than had been pre- Vfously suggested. in that it was a matter for the consideration of all the allies, concerning which q joint note from the allies might be expected. The statement was likewise made in the house Of commons that the British government might deem il necessary to alter it's decision where by cotton up to the present has not been classed as contraband.
 The day passed without news of any additional merchant ship, belligerent or neutral, having fallen q victim to a German submarine. but three small British craft are missing and fears are expressed as to their fate.

Fl Faso. Texas, F'eD. 22-Virtual postponenrent of the Jack Johnson Jess Willard boxing bout was admit ted late today by Jack Curley, the promoter. It was believed that John son could not arrive at Juarez, Mexico, on the border here. from Havana by way of any Mexican seaport by March s,
 believed Johnson would arrive safely the original date: but he did not re- veal how the negro pugilist would make his way through the ports held by CaiTanza, to the Villa lines The Carr=anZa officials have announced their intention of axresting Johnson on the ground that he is a fugitive from justice in the United States.
 Johnson cabled from Cuba, today to Curley that if it were considered i'm possible to hold the fight in Juarez, the bout could be held at Havana. Curley, however. declared that he would not consent to this since all matters had been arranged at Juarez.
 Curley declared again today that no other boxer would be substituted for Johnson. He said that Johnson would need at least a weeks training at Juarez before this fight. This week, with the time required for Johnson s trip through Mexico even should he encounter no great difficulty, would make it impossible for him to fight on March 9th.
 Willard is continuing his training at his camp on this side of the boundary.
