GERMANS BLEW UP TRENCH
BUT GAINED LITTLE GROUND

London, Feb. 20, | ;55 p. m. The
British semi weekly report OF the
progress OF the fighting on the con
tinent, issued to-day, says; "lhe
enemy continues to show consId-
cradle activity. In the neighbor,,
hod Of Ypres several attacks ana
counter-attacks have occurred. Oh
the morning of Feb. 20 the enemy
exploded an elaborate series OF
mines which destroyed one Of our
trenches. A new line was pre-
pared short distance in the rear
and Immediately was occupied.
Any attempts at further progress
have been completely frustrated.
"Near Giyenchy our infantry,
after successful bombardment,
captured a trench OF the enemy
and blew it up. An attempted
attack by the enemy along the Ia
Bassee canal was easily repulsed
by our artillery. To the south OF
the river Lys there has been an
increase in artillery and rifle fire,
in which our troops showed
marked superiority. Along the re-
mainder of the front to the north
there have been more artillery
duels. Thick weather has handi-
capped the work of aircraft.

Foot and Mouth Disease Wipe{

Washington, D. c., April 1.-Vir-
tual eradication Of the live stock foot
and mouth scourge in the United
States was announced tonight by the
Department of Agriculture. Officers
in charge of the campaign waged
against the disease in the past six
months said that, with the single ex-
ception of a herd Of animals near
Syracuse, N. Y, which had been
designated for slaughter today, tele-
graphic reports from inspectors
throughout the country showed the
disease had been, to the best of their
knowledge, completely wiped out.
Figures compiled by the department
show that l24, 141 animals have been
slaughtered because Of foot and mouth
infection from the time Of the out
break in October to March 25, last.
It was pointed out, however, that the
total loss caused by the disease could
not be estimated alone by the num-
Der Of animals killed. Interference
with the operations Of the stock
yards at Chicago and other principal
shipping points, the quarantining Of
infected regions in virtually all Of the
;attle raising states and other pre-
measures ordered by the
department. to prevent the spread of
he disease during its worst stages,
was said, had caused indetermin- |
lble losses.

WILLARD DEFEATS JOHNSON
Young Kansas Giant Knocks out
Negro Champion n 2eth Round
1t Havana, Cuba.

r Havana, April 6.-Jack Johnson.
exile from his own country. yesterday
lost his claim to fistic fame 90 the
heavyweight champion OF the world,
the title being wrested from him By
Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy, the
higgest man who ever entered the
prise ring and white hope" who at
last has made good.
The day after tomorrow johnson,
his wife and little group Of friends
Will sail for Martinique, there to await
passage back to France. where John
son proposes to settle down and lead
the life Of farmer, raising pigs and
chickens. There is no doubt that he
ls through with the ring.
Willard. who is being acclaimed al
the new champion, is going back to
the United States to win the fortune
which was denied him when Johnson
got 100000 before the fight started,
Willard taking only a small share Of
the net receipts. Just what his share
was 10 not known.
Yesterdays fight probably has no
parallel In the history Of ring battles.
For twenty rounds Johnson punched
and pounded Willard at will, but his
blows grew perceptibly less powerful
as the fight progressed, until at last
he seemed unable or unwilling to
90 on.
Johnson stopped leading and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than series of posings. So 1t
was until the twenty-fifth round, when
Willard got one Of his widely swinging
windmill right hand smashes to John
sons heart. This was the beginning
Of the end.
Topeka, April 6.--Jess Willard is
native Jayhawker. He was born on
farm near the little town of Emmett
in the eastern edge of Pottawatomie
county, about eighteen miles north
west of Topeka Until few years
ago Emmett didn't even have rail-
road.
Jess is the youngest of four BROTH
ers. Marion is an employee in the To-
peka postoffice. John is farmer in
Oklahoma and Robert is farmer near
st. Marys. The father died few
weeks before Jess was born, in 1887,
End the mother died seven years ago.
