Cooperative Buying
Increasing in Paris

Correspondence Of The Associated Prsss)
Paris, June 2l.-Co-operative buy
ing by associations of consumers are
fast developing from the present food
situation iii France. They are likely
to assume such proportions as to wor-
ny the dealers, who have profted from
the state of war to exact war profits
on provisions that have been so album
dant as to justify normal prices.
A well-known actress, woman
lawyer and an authoress Of renown
form one OF the "co-operatives," as
they are called at the central markets.
Three times week they get out with
their market baskets early enough
to get to the "Halles" for the 7 o'clock
sales and by combining their require
ments get nearly everything they need
for the table at wholesale prices.
Provisions bought at the central
markets are not delivered at domiciles
by the seller, which has always been
an obstacle to individual marketing
here; the money saved was no more
and often less than the price of a cab
to carry the. purchases home. The
cooperative system removes this OBJ
stacle; the same cab delivers baskets
of provisions to three or four fami-
lies, leaving a good margin of profit
on the days marketing.

Showing Great Activity

Correspondence q The Associated Press)
Lisbon, June 2l,-There has been
great activity with regard to the Por-
tuguese navy and its arsenals during
the last three months since the state
of war was declared in this country.
Besides the repaired vessels, FIVE

six at Lisbon and sixty-seven in all,
including those in the colonies and ISL

WANTS TO SIGN UP
DILLON AND SAMMY
Bill Brown Offers $4,000 for
Labor Day Go Between
Jack and Langford.
DOESN'T LOOK FEASIBLE

New York, July 22.-Bill Brown
wants to promote a Jack Dillon and
Sam Langford bout. The lean farm
er Of Garrison on the, Hudson is ready
to offer the men $4,000 for their ser
vices on Labor day. Bill proposes
to house the bout in Durlands Riding
academy, Sixty-sixth street and Cen
trail Park, West.
Brown said that he could seat 1000
of the faithful in the big arena if nee
essary. He is convinced that bout
between the pair would draw a sub
stantial gate. Langford has always
been magnet when pitted against a
white man, for the simple reason tina,
so few of them have ever stood a
chance with him. There is always
a desire to see how his next victim
will fare. Perhaps the greatest gate
that Sam ever drew with a white box
er was on the occasion of the intend
ed bout with Stanley Ketchel at the
Fairmont club.
That was in the good old days Of
membership attendance. Billy had
$4,000 in the till when the bout was
suddenly called off, Gibson returned
every dollar of the advance, A re-
markable thing about that sale was

DARCY IS COMING
TO THIS COUNTRY
Famous Australian Pug Due to
Arrive in Frisco in a Few
Days.
WILL TAKE ON GIBBONS

New York, July 22.-If reports prove
true, the lend of the present year is
likely to see the undisputed holder
of the middleweight championship.
Les Darcy, it is said, is on his way
to this country, and is due to arrive
in San Francisco shortly. He will be
taken in charge by Jack Kearns, the
California manager, who made the
acquaintance of the sensational Aus
tralian middleweight while in the lat
ter's country with Billy Murray.
Fred Dyer, the welterweight boxer,
who was also a visitor to the Antip-
odes some time ago. says ne is in
receipt OF letter, which was written
about two months ago, in which it is
stated that a week later the Austral-
ian fighting man would sail for Amer
lea, He was booked to sail on the
steamship Sonoma, and that upon his
arrival upon the coast he would lose
no time, but come right on to New
York and endeavor to close a match
with Mike Gibbons, or any other man
who has professions to the middle
weight championship.
But only the presence of Darcy will
remove the doubt in the minds of
many about the reported visit, since
the English law is so strict about
letting able-bodied men leave their
country in these war days. For many
months wires have been pulled to get
the Australian champion to visit this
country. Now and then he was re-
ported to have asked for a young
fortune for his appearance here, but
that was not the barrier. Many pro-
motors expressed willingness to
pay Darcy well for his services, but
ceased negotiations when they found
the Australian laws so severe. II
Darcy is really coming, it is on no
wild goose chase. Jack Kearns has
been talking very widely about be-
ing the man who would direct the
affairs of Darcy here, and no doubt
he has closed several deals for the
fighters services.
Darcy would be welcome addi-
ton to the middleweight ranks in this
country, and he would be in great de-
mand during the summer months,
when spacious outdoor arenas are in
swing. A little bout between him and
Gibbons, or with George Chip, would
be an attraction that would match
up nicely with the one that is COM
ing between Frank Moran and Jack
Dillon.

WILLARD-FULTON
BOUT is PROSPECT
Willingness Of Minneapolis
Promoters to Put Up Coin
May Bring Jess Down.
NEW YORKER WANTS GO

New York, July 22-That long pend
ing match between Jess Willard,
champion heavyweight OF the world.
and Fred Fulton may naterlalize
after all. 1t has been talked of for
some time, although the Rochester
Giants" performance against Dan
(Porky) Flynn in New Orleans and
his more recent exhibition against
Al Reich here put somewhat of
crimp in it.
Despite the unsatisfactory showing
of Fulton in his "try-out" matches,
considerable competition for the bout
has developed. At least two groups
of promoters are after it. 1t will 60
to the highest bidder. Foremost in
the field are J. A. Connolly and H.
A. Sherman. These gentlemen are
equal partners in the promotion of
bouts in the middle west. They re.
Gently bought and amalgamated at a
cash outlay of $4,000, the boxing
clubs now in operation in the Twin
Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis
Connolly and Sherman are offering
Willard fiat guarantee of $4,000
to box Fulton in the Twin City Motor
DROVE on September 2. They can Sc
cure Fulton on any terms they care to
name, as Mike Collins, the latter's
manager, has verbally pledged him
self to box the champion for nothing
if necessary. Neither Connolly nor
Sherman have heretofore been identi-
fed with the promotion of boxing
bouts. Their interest in the sport
seems to be that Of ordinary fans"
Possessing the capital and being
shrewd business men they foresaw
boom in boxing in the middle west,
and consequently bought the St.. Paul
and Minneapolis clubs.
The Twin City Motordrome, in
which they propose to stage the
championship match II they get it,
is big enough to permit of q seating
capacity Of at least 10000.
That Connolly and Sherman are
sincere in their offer is indicated BY
their Willingness to post at once the
sum of $4,000 to Wizards credit to
bind the match. They are also pre-
pared to post the balance of the $40,-
600 purse in any bank he cares to
name. While the Sells-Floto circus
to which Willard is attached was
showing in Grafton, w. Va, a few
days ago Connolly obtained Wizards
consent to box for him.
Tom O'Rourke, the local promoter
and manager Of boxers, is also after
the! match. He states that he is not
only authorized by those backing him
to give Willard $4,000, but that he
is also willing to grant him the pri-
vilege of taking a percentage of the
gate receipts. 1t is presumed that
O'Rourke, if he is successful in get
ting the signature Of the two men on
the same scrap of paper, will stage
the bout at Sheepshead Bay Motor

Havana is Slow in
Memorial to Maine

Correspondence of the Associated Press. }
Havana, June 21.-Attention is
again being called to the long-contin-
ued neglect of the Cuban government
to proceed with the erection of the
memorial of the Maine. Many months
ago the two ten-inch guns, the tur-
ret plates, the anchor chain and a
quantity of shells from the battle
ship were removed from the rubbish
dock where they had lain for four
years and were piled in heap in a
rough vacant space on the outskirts of
the city proper. 1t was announced
that the memorial, of which these
relics were to form a part, was to
be erected on that site. Later the
secretary of public works decided that
the site was unsuitable, but no other
one appears TO have been selected or
to be contemplated.
The Havana Post suggests edito-
rally that, as Cuba appears to be in
different to the raising of the memo
rial the best disposition that can be
made of the relics is TO carry them out
TO sea and reverently bury them in
the waters OF the gulf at the spot
where the Maine ended its "last voy-
age

President Of China
Assured Support Of
Military Leaders
Correspondence Of The Associated Press.l

Correspondence Of The Associated Press,)
Picking, July l5,-Generals Feng
Kuo-chang, Nj Shih-chung and
Chang Hsun and many other south
ern military leaders have telegraphed
to President Ii Yuan-hung assuring
him OF their support. He is very
generally supported by the Chinese
press in all parts Of the republic, and
there are indications that the south
ern provinces will officially endorse
his administration, although they are
somewhat slow in doing so and have
made demand for the removal of GER
tain cabinet members and advisers
before they fall in line.
Strained financial conditions seem
somewhat relieved. The new presi-
dent has consented TO turn over
100000 from his own personal saw
ings to assist in resuming specie pay
ment on the notes of the government
banks. The quintuple group OF
bankers who are holding S20,000,000
surplus OF the salt monopoly for the
Chinese government have also shown
willingness to turn this money into
the treasury.
Ii Yuan-hung refused to go to the
palace to take the official oath and
was sworn into Office in his own
home outside Of the imperial city. The
ceremony was OF extreme simplicity
and only high officials attending.

joining with the republican organs in

STUDEBAKER men
MEET IN OMAHA
Statesmen and Dealers Hear
Advice Of Experts Upon
Business Methods.
SERVICE" is EMPHASIZED

One of the most successful Of
Studebaker meetings was held at
Omaha Wednesday and Thursday Of
the past week--Wednes being de-
voted to a meeting between factory
officials and Studebaker statesmen, and
Thursday to a combined meeting, in
GLIDING considerable number of
Studebaker dealers from Nebraska,
Iowa and South Dakota.
The Wednesday meeting and lunch
con was held at the Commercial club,
and the Thursday dealers meeting
and luncheon in the palm room of the
Hotel Fontenelle.
Manager L. A. Keller of the local
Studebaker branch opened the Fon-
tenelle meeting, introducing the
speakers. F. c. O'Meara OF Detroit,
lectured on the principles and practice
OF modern salesmanship, as compared
to the "hit and miss" practice of the
old-time salesman.
H. M. Johnson OF the Commercial
Investment Trust 'of New York,
talked to the dealers on Finances -
giving them q clear idea Of what may
be expected in connection with auto
mobile sales in the future.
Ollier Talks on Service"
L. J. Ollier, vice-president OF the
Studebaker corporation, gave the
dealers a very clear outline of the
policies and plans Of the Studebaker
corporation. He outlined what is
necessary to make the dealers BUSH
ness satisfactory, not only to the
Studebaker corporation, but to the
buyers.
One of the most important OF Mr.,
Oilers subjects was that of 'Serv-
ice" He impressed every dealer with
the belief that in order to make a
successful automobile merchant, he
must give his customer proper atten-
ton and service, and that this is far
more important after the car is pur-
chased than before.
Mr.. Ollier is well known to the
dealers of this section that his talk
to them was taken as real advice
not thing that Studebaker wanted
them to do, merely because Stude-
baker said so, but because it is the
best thing to do for the continued
prosperity and increase of the dealer
business.

Japan to Lay Keel
Of Greatest War
Graft in the World
Correspondence of The Associated Press,

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Toxic, July At is reported that
guns Of fifteen-inch caliber may be
mounted on a superdreadnaught which
has been ordered by the navy depart
ment and will be laid down in the
Japanese naval yard at Kure. This
ship was authorized at the last session
of the Diet, and it vii. be tie 'argest
battleship in the Japanese navy. 1t
will be called the Nagato after one of
the provinces in southern Japan.
Although the official figures have
not been announced, it is said the
warship will have a displacement OF
$4,000 tons and speed Of twenty-four
knots. The displacement exceeds by
l 400 tons that of the dreadnaught
Yamashiro which was launched at Yo-
kosuka last November. The Yama-
shire is about the same size as the
United States superdreadnaught
Pennsylvania.
If the announced figures prove ex-
act, the Nagato will be faster than
the Yamashiro by two knots and
faster than the Pennsylvania by three
knots, although it could be outdis-
tanced by the Queen Elizabeth.
A feature Of the proposed ship will be
improved equipment for defense
against torpedoes.
The question of main armament
seems not yet decided 1t is under
stood that the navy favors l5-inch
guns, but guns Of this size have never
been made in Japan, and it is likely
that they would have to be imported
from England. 1t is doubtful if Eng
land could turn them out during the
war.
The department has likewise ar
ranged for the construction of two
second-class cruisers, each of $500
tons, to be called Tenryu and Tatsuta.
One will be laid down at Kokosuka
and the other at Saseho. A large type
destroyer Of LOO tons will be built
at Maizuru.
The latest addition to the Japanese
navy is a new and powerful subma-
rine boat which was built in France
and which recently arrived at the
Kure naval station. Submerged, the
boat can reach a speed OF over
eighteen knots. Its displacement is
900 tons, and it is the largest sub
marine in the Japanese navy.
The order, placed with the French
navy yard in 1914, called for two
boats Of the same type and dimensions
but one of them was sold to France
at the outbreak OF the war in COM
pliance with the special request of the
French navy. The submarine was
brought here on board French

Vienna, July l0.--Entering the war
as volunteer surgeon, little known

Of his prize-winning book was gained

was while there, as he modestly ex-
