the point of arrogance.
Referee Welch has just arrived.
The city is packed and jammed with
fight fans. Every available sort Of

between Havana and Key West to
bring fans over and still it was re-

would force the fighting.
Hell tear into Willard from the
tap of the bell" Flanagan asserted.
johnson and all of us in his camp
expect to see Willard knocked out in
a few rounds. Jack knows Willard's
game is to try and outwear him
but there will be no chance at STALL

comment of Tom Jones, Willard's
manager, on hearing the statement.
"Willard's going to win, we are sure
of that"

STATE BUSINESS DOUBLED
Walter Smith, Treasures, Estimates

GROWTH IS UNPRECEDENTED

According to Walter j. Smith.
state treasurer, a growth in volume
of business unprecedented in the
history of Minnesota, II destined to
be recorded in his ofieesthis year. 1.
How rapidly the states business
is expanding may be realized by
study of figures prepared Saturday
by Mr.. Smith, showing the Increase
in business. in. his depast the
past seven years. y
Atop of the actual figures, Mr.
Smith estimates that the receipts and
disbursements will increase rs per
cent this year. The volume of busi-
ness, he predicts, will be $10,00O,00O
greater for this fiscal year than for
the fiscal year ended July 81, 1914,
when the total was $43,394,755.21.
He has estimated that $53, ,251, 10000
will have been accounted for at the
close of business July 81. cs.s.z...s
In 1909 the total of receipts and
disbursements was $25, ,004.27.
In the seven years following, this to-
tai will have been doubled, according
to estimates of Mr.. Smith.
The total of receipts and disburse-
ments for the first five months Of
the present fiscal year ended January
1 was $22,18S,208.35. This figure
divided by five gives $4,437,641.67 as
the average increase a month which
may be expected this year. Multi
plying the monthly average by twelve
gives $53,251,700.04 as the total es-
timated business for the year.

Paris, April 5.-Yesterday was
the queerest Easter that Paris has
ever had since it became the worlds

new SUBMARINE RECORD.
News That British Steamer Torpedoed
Off Cape Finisterre, May Mean
Warfare in American Waters.
WEATHER ALL THAT IS FEARED
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, April 5.-Germany
may be preparing to send submarines
across the Atlantic to resume her
naval warfare in American waters.
This possibility is contained in the
news that British steamer has
been sunk by a submarine off Cane
Finisterre, Spain The affair IS
small in ITSELF, but : it establishes "a,
new record for submarine voyage.
For that reason it is the most i'm
portant incident from a technical
standpoint, that has occurred since
the German under-sea warfare. be-
gan. '''
Finisterre is about 1900 miles
from Cuxhaven and the route passes
through the Bay of Biscay, one of
the toughest pieces of water on the
globe. Only very recently design
ed submarine could have undertaken
the voyage, which doubtless is chief
ly for experimental and scientific pur-
poses. Otherwise, there would be
more certainty of results proportion
ate to the energy expended by con-
fining operations to waters close to
the British Islands. The newest
type of submarine which Germany is
said to be constructing has many ten
tative principles. Undoubtedly much
of the German submarine activity is
planned primarily to try out these
innovations. The appearance of
submarine off the west coast of Ire
land was an experiment. So is the
presence of another of the vessels off
the Spanish coast.
At New York Next.
The sudden announcement that
still another German under-sea craft
had been sighted off New York,
might some day become the logical
third. The radius of action of the
newest submarine is 5000 to 1000
miles at speed of IL knots per
hour. This would permit submer-
sible in theory, to cross the Atlantic
and return to Germany. Whether
the feat is practically possible de-
pends upon the weather. The radius
of action for submarine is surface

BOW AND ARROW ARMY NEEDED
Yaqui Indians, As Were Offered Ma
dero, Could Bring Huge Sums From
Military Leaders-Rifes Useless
BY WILLIAM G.. SHEPHERD.

London, March 22.-(By mail to
New York. 1.-TWO hundred Yaqui
Indians once marched into Madero's
camp in Mexico, armed with bows
and arrows and asked to be allowed
to fight. Madero's army was patchy
enough as it was. but he did not want
the services of the Indians. "But we
will fasten gun cotton on the ends
of our arrows" explained the chief.
Nothing doing" said Madero's
officers and the Indians marched
back to the mountains.
The American army outposts along
the Rio Grande laughed at the story
of the bow and arrow Indians. But
today the great military leaders of
Europe would pay fancy prices for
the services of these Yaquis. Good
bow and arrow men are at prem
ium; they are hard to find and
they're greatly needed The French
have tried bow and arrows all along
their trenches and though the men
were inexperienced in the use of the
prehistoric weapon, they attained
some highly successful results. A
Yaqui Indian who could drop an ar
row just where he pleased could win
a Legion of Honor badge.

knocked the science of war to bits.
After the armies had burrowed to
each other until they were nose to
nose, they found that their marvel
GUS long range rifles were practically
useless. The trenches were so close
together that the artillery could not
hit the enemy's trench without risk
ing the destruction of it's own. The
great goth century weapons failed.
How to get death into the other fell
lows trenches became the big prob
lem. 1t was gravity, not gunpow
der that was needed. You could
not shoot an explosive into the other
trenches; you must drop it in. 1t
was the prehistoric method of fight
ing, the cave man style of throwing
weapons or rolling them down hill.
Some of Napoleon's old mortars were
brought from the museums of Paris
and put into use. Bows and arrows
were secured from archery clubs in
Paris. The arrows were tipped with
gun cotton. Hand grenades were
purchased by the thousands.
Arrows Prove Deadly.
The arrows proved the most deadly
of ALL The mortar bombs and the
hand grenades were not nearly as ef-
fective as the French had expected.
1t remained for an English Tommy
to figure out why the gun cotton ar
rows were the most effective.
"Blankety blank those hand gren-
ades," said the Tommy "They don't
do their job"
Whereupon he took tin can
which he had emptied of strawberry
jam, filled it full of gun cotton, fast
ened a fuse to it, lighted the contrap-
tion and threw it across to the Ger
man trenches. 1t exploded with
terrific effect. After that the Teu-
