HAS BECOME BIG SPORT
Trapshooting Has 100000 Fol.
lowers Throughout Country.
More People Today Have Gun Fever
Than Ever Before In History Of
Sport-Many Clubs Formed
In Pennsylvania.

No sport In the country can be Just
ly said to have developed to greater
degree than trapshooting. 1t Is a fact
that more people today have gun fe-
yer than ever before I'm the history Of
the game. There Is something about
1t which "mysteriously draws you in
to the sport" Is the explanation of an
enthusiast. 1t is different from others
In that the Interested ones participate
instead Of just look on. OF course,
there are galleries for spectators,
which sometimes consist of large
crowds. Those that have the real gun
fever say you can't remain u member
Of the gallery long, there's something
draws you into the game. Figures
seem to indicate that this must be
true, for the sport now has 100000
hackers. Five years ago 1t didn't have
q quarter of that number. In Pennsyl-
vania alone there are 500 trapshoOt-
ing clubs and an average club con.
sists of 80 members, SO that makes
$4,000 gun bugs.

trapshooting can be had from the fol-
lowing figures gathered from the re.
cent grand American handicap held In
st. Louis: In 1t 63S crack trapshOot-
ers made entry. 1t cost each one from
So to $13 to enter, and the Interstate
association, under whose auspices 1t
was given, donated $500. This made
purse Of $6104. Cap. Jack Wulf,
the winner, received SG10. The sec.
ond man received $557.45, and the
three men that tied for third place
won S443.60 each. Other winners re.
ceived various amounts down to S42.25.
During the five days 227,25O clay
birds were used, which, ut an average
cost Of cents for each bird and shell,
would equal S15,007.5O spent for the
necessaries. This was not all. The
participants came from every state In
the Union and even Canada, and this
travelling expense, plus practically a
weeks hotel bill, would average 500
q shooter. Besides, there were more
than 1900 spectators, as Is always
the case ut such special occasions and
oil Of them didn't reside In st. Louis,
SO they also spent neat sums, thus In.
creasing the banks clearings. It Is
estimated that 100000 was spent In
this manner.

: II first would increase the series

OF FALL
 OF MAUBEUGE
INNER FACTS ABOUT GREAT SIEGE PUBLISHED FOR
 FIRST TIME.
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 PARIS, Jan. 11.-(By MaiD-The mystery of the fall of Maubeuge has at last been cleared up, after seven teen months of rumors and doubts. Instead of the surrender of the French fortress having been due to treason, as intimated by German sources, the defense of the citadel is said to have been one of the brilliant actions of the war.
 In an exclusive interview with a French officer, member of the staff of General FOurnier, Military Govern or of Maubeuge, who has reached this country after escaping from a Ger man prison, where he was sent with the other officers of the garrison, the whole story in detail was made known.
 "Maubeuge was not another Metz," ," he said, "but a new BeltOrt. Gener- al FOurnier began fortifying the ap- breaches to the place on Aug. 2, working 5000 laborers with 25,OOO territorials. They dug 13 miles of trenches around the city, showing great forethOught, as at that time trench fighting had not begun. They strung one million square yards of barbed wire on a million and a half stakes and stationed fifty mobile bat teries to fool the enemy.
 "The city was invested towards the end of August by 65,OOO Germans against our 8O,OOO territOrials. The Germans were commanded by General von Zwehl in the presence of the Kaisers nephew, Prince Leopold Of Prussia. For nine days a furious battle ragged, all the German heavy artillery being brought up from Liege and Namur including the SO5 mili- meter and 42O milimeter hOwitzers. Ceasclessly shells rained on the forts day and night, causing a reign of ter TOT, for in addition to the city's resi- dents there were 10000 refugees mostly women, children and old peO- pie from the North, Quartered in the town.

"The German shell fire was direct ed by aeroplane and spies who had been on the job for years, living in Maubeuge and ostensibly engaged in business there. One by one the fifty batteries were picked off. The arsen- al was fired by a German shell and 2,OOO French shells exploded inside at one time. People all over the city were knocked down by the force of the explosion. The water, gas, elec- tricity, telephone and telegraph were instantly cut off and the city, includ- ing the hospitals, was burning.
 "outside the city, in the trenches, the troops fought on without relief as we were prevented from reaching them by a curtain of artillery fire. We made four sorties, once charging to within 200 yards of the German mortars.
 "The city wrecked and on fire, our ammunition exploded and means of re- sistancs dwindled, General Fournier surrendered on Sept 8, when the Ger mans began hurling shells into the quarter packed with refugees. To fight on would have meant but one thing; the slaughter of women and babies.
 "When the Germans entered they were astonished to find it defended only by territOrials. They believed they were attacking big garrison of actives. In recognition of the brave defense of the citadel, von Zwehl told FOurnier to keep his sword. Founier refused because the other officers were not granted the same courtesy. He said:
 Whatever their lot is, will share it: What is good enough for them is good enough for me-
 General FOunier was sent to the military prison at Torgu, in Silesia. He is a heartbroken man, but proud. He held out against tremendous odds, sustaining what was certainly the mightiest bombadment the world has ever seen.
 Before the Germans entered all arms and other war materials were destroyed and regimental flags burn ed to keep them from falling into the enemy's hands.
 "Fourniers defense of Maubeuge was not merely heroic; it was of great military value. During the battle of the Marne which ended in a crushing defeat of the Germans after several critical days he held up 65 5000 of the flower of the Kaiser's army. After the fall of Maubeuge it was too late for these men to do any good; the tide at the Marne had turn ed on Sept. 8 and two days later it was complete. Had Fournier not held out as he did, and had he let the Ger mans pass without opposition, things might very cOnceivably have turned out another way.
 "The rumors of treason scattered by Germans in order to demOraIize French troops had absolutely no foundation in fact"

This epring the kingfsher comes

The phoebe, which we all know and
love to hear in the early springtime,
commences to build the last of this
month. Their nests are found under
the caves, bridges or old barns, and
are made of grass, fine moss and hair
plastered together with mud and lined
with soft feathers and wool. The
phoebes call is "Phoe-e-be! Phoe-
e-be!"

Robins are very domestic, often

the weary. He begins to sing early
in the morning, and his voice can be

song is heard from the woodland.

Every woman ought to have gar
den. The change that takes q woman
out Of doors away from the routine
of homework is a good one. 1t affords
health. happiness and a positive relief
to the overworked muscles and tired
brain Of the woman who spends most
OF her day indoors. There is health
for both body and brain in working
in a garden.
There are a great many flowers that
require very little care and give won
derful returns for the little time ex-
pended. My advice to the woman who
has not much time to give to her gar
den is to plant only the flowers that
will give the best result for her limit
ed care.
No lover of flowers can afford to be
without a corner for sweet peas. They
bloom in wonderful profusion and
their beauty and fragrance are too we'll
known to need comment. Plant as
early in the season as possible, and
SOW the seeds about an inch apart.
Cover with about two inches OF soil
and lamp the soil down firmly. Keep
the roots well covered as they grow,
as shallow planted sweet peas often
fail in hot weather. Provide some
brush for them to grow on, water pro,
fusely and enjoy their beauty.
Allow corner for peoples. Also
space for few china asters, like our
grandmothers grew. Nothing is cas-,
Ter to grow. nothing blooms more pro.
fusely. Few plants are richer in color
or bloom later in the season.
Phlox Is profuse bloomer and rich
and varied in coloring. 1t is most eff,
kept separate.
The gillytlower is a fragrant old
timer worthy of our attention. This
is late bloomer, like the aster. Plant
