HAVANA, April 5.-The fight be- tween Jack Johnson and Jess Willard for the worlds championship began at 1:32 p. m. Havana time. The arena is packed with an immense concourse of people, many if not most of whom are Americans. Both men entered the ring apparently trained to the last ounce and each looking debonnair and perfectly confident. The great bulk of the white man appeared less obvi- ous because of the perfection of the training which he had undergone. Both received tremendous welcome but the crowd appeared to be slightly in favor of the white although, per haps, more money had been placed on the black. The battle opened caut- iously but at the end of the first round Willard had a clear advantage and he kept this up in the second so that the first two rounds were decidedly in the white mans favor

PARIS, April 4.-The news of the Bulgarian raid caused a profound sen sation here when it arrived today. In the opinion of the French authorities it can mean nothing less than that Bulgaria has decided to throw in her lot with Germany and Austria in the hope of wrestling from Servia and Greece the territories which she claim ed as her rightful reward for her part in the former war against Turkey. The most serious fact in relation to this event is that Servia will now have enemies on two sides of her. She has four millions of people while Bulgaria has five millions and an army that proved itself very efficient against Turkey. On the other hand Servia IS worn by her present conflict. Should Bulgaria manage to overcome Servia it will release an Austrian army to meet invasion from Italy should the latter enter the war. For all these reasons the news is received here with very great disappointment
 ROME, April 4.-The opinion here is that the entry of Bulgaria into the great war will precipitate a war be- tween Italy and Austria instead of de- laying it. The best authorities here declare that Italy cannot afford to let Austria and Bulgaria gain control of the Balkan states, which control would also embrace Albania and strengthen the Austrian empire immeasurably. Everywhere the opinion prevails that the entry of Bulgaria will throw the whole Balkans into the conflict.
 LONDON, April 5.-Much interest has been manifested all over Great Britain in the news of the Bulgarian raid on Servia. There is very little uneasiness, however, as the opinion prevails that the government of Bull garia will disclaim responsibility for the attack and will lay the blame on irresponsible haters of the Servians. There is evidently some reason to be- heve that Bulgaria has not decided by any means to engage in hOstilities and further news is being awaited eagerly. The whole truth will pro bably be known today

THE KANSAS PIONEERS

Hospitality and q spirit of mu-
tual helpfulness were prominent
characteristics of the pioneers" says
DR.. ]. r. Willard in the Kansas In
dustrialist. mo cabin was ever so
small that others could not get in
to stay all night, no stock Of sup
plies so scant that 1t could not be
divided. Changing work to help
each other, lending implements and
machinery, were necessary in order
that the individuals Of the COM
munity might live.
"The typical Kansas pioneer was
conscientious. He had come to
Hoake Kansas a free state and was
as likely as not filled with religious
fervor. Sunday was literally day
OF rest aside from going to church.
and the distance travelled to and
from church service was often such
as to require nearly the entire day.
1.-THE pioneer was outspoken and
frank. 1t required NO coaxing to
get his opinion on anything from
the conduct of his neighbOr to the
fundamental policies of our nation
al government.
II believe l am justified in claim
ing that the pioneers as l knew
them were considerably above the
average of humanity, intellectually
as well as morally. They were ap-
preciative of education. This spirit
was manifested in Manhattan, to
which the people came with a pre-
determined purpose to found a col
lege in connection with their colony.
They had scarcely been here three
years before the corner stone of
Bluemont Central college was laid
with joyousness and hope. This
college was later transformed into
the agricultural college which keeps
Manhattan on the map of the world.
This interest in educational institu-
tions is a special example of the
general public spirit Of the early
settlers. Town halls we're erected,
sites donated for churches and in
dustrial enterprises, and bonds vot-
ed for railroads, bridges and other
public improvements. Altogether,
the men and women who made this
region were building for the COM
Tunity of which they were a part
and where they expected their chill
dren to remain"

THE HOME MARKET

For half a century the Republic
can party devoted its efforts to the
upbuilding of American industry,
that the home market might be sup
piled by homemade goods and this
object was attained. Under the
Democratic administration the eff
fort has been made to open the
home market to the foreign manu-
facturer. No other nation in all the
world presents market to compare
to that OF the United States. In
round numbers, the consumptive
demand of our people amounts to
the stupendous figure OF thirty
eight billion dollars annually. 1t
costs us 100000 day to live
on the American standard. The ex-
port business OF the United States
for the last fiscal year was but 81
700, 100000 or less than one
twelfth the sum of the home trade.
OF the imports that entered United
States ports in July, 1915, 59.4 per
cent came in duty free.
Do we want to jeopardize our
home market to create commerce
with foreign nations? Is not the Be
publican policy of protection for
home workmen to be preferred to
the Democratic policy of free trade.

FULL TTME-FULL CAPACITY

The folly of discouraging and de-
stroying American enterprise would
seem too patent to admit of discus
sion. Trade war is like military
war: It bears first and heaviest
upon the common citizen, the mau
in the ranks with a family to sup
mort and a home to hold. The way
to promote and protect economic
peace and prosperity is to offer
shelter to the American workman
against foreign aggression. The
greatest guarantee that American
.workmen will be employed at max
imum time and at maximum wages
is to encourage to foreign manufac-
turer to establish enterprises here,
somewhat reducing, it may be, the
profits of the manufacturer be-
cause of increased competition, but
vastly adding to the demand for
10th skilled and common labor.
To indicate how this dumping pol
icy would work out in practice, two
instances may be cited. A worsted
mill producing 100000 yards an
nually at full capacity, shows a
fixed charge of 8 cents per yard.
or 100000. With a sale price OF
~ cents a yard, it would make
net profit of 100000. If 1t ran
three-fourths time the cost price
would increase to 1917 per yard on
3,75O,O yards, which II sold at
~ cents would give a profit OF
something less than $4,000. II
running half time, the cost per
yard would be 16c on 100000
yards, WHICH, at 12c would make
less of 100000. II running one
fourth time the cost would be &c
on 100000 yards, which, at 12c
would make a loss of $250,O0O. In
other words, If operating at full
capacity, it could sell half its pro-
duct abroad at cost price, sell the
ether half at home at 12c and still
make $4,000 more than If running
three-quarters time, and, in addi-
ton thereto, would cripple its for
eign competitors.
A cotton mill having $4,000
spindles, with capacity of $4,000
pounds of yarn a week, shows the
fixed charges connected with the
plant-office, and general charges
which can not be cut off during n
shutdown-amount to &C pound.
In other words, this plant could run
full capacity, sell half its output at
&c a pound less than cost, and be
as we'll off from the stockholders
point of view as it would be by
running one-half time at full ca
pacity and closing down the re-
naming six months, in addition to
continuing the employment of its
workmen.
But no Democrat can be made 70
see this, and it remains for Re-
publican administration to insure
full time, full capacity" to Ameri-
can mills.
