LOndon-The omission from the
German official report of any refer
ence to Scissors. the scene of the re-
cent marked German success. and the
French statement that there has been
no change In that region, leads to the
belief that a renewal of the violent
struggle there Is impending. the tenn
porary quiet being due to the fact that
neither side cares to risk an offensive
In the present circumstances.
So fierce has the fighting been
about Scissors that the Germans have
been using the family vaults In the
cemeteries as forts.

IhTe'S a Biz Difference Between
 a Punch and a Punch.

Havana. April 2.-Whatevcr else may happen in the Johnson-W Willard championship bout next Monday there will be no halt or hitch should anything happen to referee Jack Welch before or during the bout. At a meeting of the principals and pro- moters it was decided to appoint Matt J Hinkel of Cleveland as alternate referee If Welch through any reason does not arrive in time Hinkel will Till the breach. If Welch gets ill on time and should meet with an accident either through a stray blow or sun stroke Hinkel, who will be seated at the ringside, will be called upon to of flciate
 Hinkel holds down the same posi- ton that Charley White graced at Reno when he acted as associate to Tex Richard.
 Starts at 1 O'Clock.
 The official starting time for the fight was placed at 12:30, Havana time. This will be 1 o'clock New York time. Willard named his friend Otto Floto of Denver as his timekeep- CT. Bob Vernon, offical stakeh older. has been made official timekeeper for the club. Ben Harris of New York will be alternate. Johnson selected Sam Leonard of Toronto as his time keeper.
 Johnson's excessive weight is still the topic of whispered conversation among the men who have made a study of championship struggles. X lot of the devil-may- spirit seems 1 to have deserted the Johnson camp. Especially is this so of the dusky title holder himself The weight won't ! come off. Johnson's middle is still overburdened with speed killing fat. Johnson has worked hard particu- larly in the sun. He has contended alt along that Willard was making q great mistake in boxing in the shade. Now the wise ones think that John- son adopted the sun bouts in order that the torrid rays might wiring the fat from his body. Rubbing has be. come an all important part of his daily grind. Yet the fat remains.
 Pamch May Spell Ruin.
 He isn't in any better condition than John l.. Sullivan was against Jim Corbett at New Orleans" re- marked Otto F'loto after watching Johnson with all eyes. And we all know how the paunch on the power full Sullivan spelled his ruin against the speedy youngster from California" :"
 George Monroe, who knows John son and knows his condition, admitted that Johnson is burning up to the ex- tent that he drinks-quarts and quarts of water. This, he says, will neither reduce him or tend to make him fast CT, but George says very diplomatical- ly that a thirty eight-year- old athlete cannot brave the rigors of training as younger opponent would.
 The management still sends out reports of fabulous receipts. Their gate they claim, will compare with the largest in the history of the sport. They say that the thrush of Florida winter tourists have for the moment completely swamped them.
