London, April 23.-There has been
heavy fighting the last twenty-four
hours in all war theatres except the
Balkans. On the Verdun front the
Germans, according to an estimate Of
the French war office, have used six
hundred thousand men in fighting or

the capture Of French trenches south
of Haucourt and west Of Dead Mans

duels everywhere featured the fight
ing in France and Belgium.
The Germans are still using big
guns against Ikskull bridgehead on
the Russian front, and announce the
repuIse of a Russian attack further
south Of that place. The Russians an

Escanbia Girls Are Busy
Preparing for the Can
ming Season.
LOAN FUND HAS
BEEN ESTABLISHED
This Will Aid Girls of the
County in Purchase
Of Cans.

Much more progress has been made
this year than heretofore In the Girls
Canning Club work according to Miss
LOnny Landrun, and it is not expect
ed that Crop losses VIII be as great as
last year.
This condition is the result Of ths
loan fund which has been established.
and the general awakening Of interest
in the organizations. Miss Landrum.
who has supervision over all the
clubs in this county, calls personally
on each member and sustaina interest
by her visits.
The establishment Of q loan fund
is new idea In the clubs, and Is the
outgrowth of the loss sustained last
season by the scarcity of cans. This
fund Is made up of Individual sub
scriptions of small amounts, and il
deposited in local bank at tho dis
posal Of the girls to buy cans as it be-
comes necessary.
The fund is permanent, as far as it
is possible 10 make it so. That Is. ON
making a contribution, it is with the
understanding that the amount will
be returned without interest at the
end of the season, but where the len
der is willing, the money when It is
returned, is placed in bank, and al
lowed to draw interest which goes to
the canning club to defray the ex-
penses of the ensuing year.
That the sale of the products may
be made certain and therefore the re-
turn Of the money surer, local mer-
chants have agreed to handle the az
H" brand Of canned goods. The nam
ing Of the brand is to signify the pur-
pose of the clubs, and at the same time
to hold before the girls the object to
be attained. When translated it
means, "Head, Heart, Hand and
Health, for in the exercise Of the
first three the last is attained, and
sums up in a word the reason for the
existence of these clubs.
Several persons have already sent
in sums Of money to apply to the loan
fund, while many others have prom
Used their assistance when it be-
comes necessary. Other valuable as
sistance has been rendered, and Mr..
Jacob, of the Molino Canning Co. has
agreed to furnish all cans at cost
price.
To sustain the interest in the clubs
during the "off-season" a more social
tone has been given the organization,
which only adds greater attractions
to the meetings but opens up other
fields as well
/ Among these side topics which come
up at meetings and which enter
vitality into all the proceedings. All the
meetings are held with strict obser-
vance to the rules laid down in Robedt

to avoid possible stress on this sub.
ject and to Offset the formality that

Washington, April 23.-It was stat
ed on high authority here today that
no recommendation for the withdraw
al of American forces from Mexico
had come from General Scott, chief of
staff, who has been comforting with
General Funston at San Antonio, or
from any other officer of the army on
the border, and that there is no in
tention on the part of the government
to withdraw them at present.
Secretary Baker, after a conference
today with President Wilson and Cen
eral Bliss, the acting chief of staff,
announced that General Funston has
recommended a redisposition of the
forces in Mexico for the purpose of
recuperation and pencing an oppor-
tunity for further cooperation of the
Carranza forces. Baker said the rec
ommendation was approved and it's
execution left to the discretion of
Funston. In making the announce
ment Baker did not explain the re-
disposition.
Later, however, Baker said the
statement regarding the re-disposi-
ton Of troops had nothing to do with
the subject of when they will be with
drawn, as that is a matter for the
state department to decide. From
Washington officials, however, there
was plain mitigation that there viii.

pending a decision whether they will

A Social Visit
Develops Into a
Weekend Stay
So Discovered c. Jensen
In Paying a Call at
City Jail.

Whether a social visit shall be an
afternoon call or weekend stay,
sometimes depends on the luggage the
visitor carries.
That was the interesting discovery
made by C. Jensen, yesterday after
noon at the city Jail.
A friend of his, and an old ship
mate, had been incarcerated and for
chilly detained on an informal trip to
the chiefs headquarters, pending an
audience in the city drawing room
with Judge Zelius who viii receive
guests at 8 o'clock this morning.
Jensen thought he would visit and
condone with his shipmate and aid in

He was shown to his friends quar-
tiers. Unfortunately for the caller, he
STONED nvr-
noticed rather bulky object in the
pVcneC OF Jensen's trousers and felt
of it, thinking it WIS flash of good
fellowship.
No so; it was a sand-bag.
Or rather it appeared to be q sand
bag, but regarding its contents it
was greatly different, for quantities
of small pieces of iron were found to
be its true contents, which fact made it
a much superior weapon, a sort Of
glorified sand-bag, an offensive piece
lifted to the Nth power.
So considering the facts in the case
the officer granted Jensen permission
to stay all night with his friend, and
even insisted that he do so, hospi-
tality which Jensen was loath to ac-
cept.
But he was prevailed upon, and
given a nice cell with iron bars and
will talk to the recorder this morning
about carrying concealed weapons.

FRENCH KNEW VERDUN

Paris, April 2S.-Long before the
battle of Verdun the French high
command was aware that the railway
between Verdun and Ste Menehould
through the Argonne would, in case
of an attack, be cut by the Germans
heavy guns and that it would need
to be supplemented by a motor-trans-
port system. Early in February,
therefore, a special commission was
appointed, which had to arrange a
service of 1000 vehicles. All these
had to be provided with great quaint
ties Of petrol, oil and grease.
The general principle was for the
Mouse Railway to be restricted as
far ass possible to the transport of
provisions, while the cars were to

Washington, April 23.-ExpeTts 81
the war department, working on the
important problem of strong defense
for the more than 5000 miles of Uni
ted States coast, are figuring on
scheme that will make it possible
for railroads as well as battleships
to use 12-inch, 14-inch and even 16-
inch guns.
The scheme is to place heavy guns
on specially built cars so they may
be moved to different points along the
coast. Concrete bases would be built
at different places and the guns
locked to the bases.
The original idea, it is said, was
taken from a development of the
European war in which it was shown
that high-power guns can be used
as mobile weapons.
The Germans have moved their big
guns to various places and fastened
them to concrete bases. Prior to the
European war heavy guns, used on
land, were stationary.
The Germans, however, did not
move their guns on specially built
care to fixed bases. It is in the build
ing of special cars and the placing
of permanent bases that the idea
has been improved upon in the plan
being worked out by the United
States war experts.
In the American plan the gov
eminent would build and own
railroads along the many miles
of coast. This would permit the
moving of the heavy guns to any
threatened point.
Under the present system Of coast
defense the heavy guns are stationed
at permanent Notifications and can
not be moved to points where their
use would bring greater results.
The concrete bases would be built
on switches off the main line of
track and at each base there would be
a tower from which officers could di.
krect the firing Of the big guns.
Many forms Of coast defense have
been suggested, especially within the
past year. The scheme of moving
high-power guns on railroad tracks
is the most ingenious and is attract
ing the most attention right now.

FISHERMAN WHO
IS WASHED OUT

HILO, Feb. 1S.-Fugimori, Japa-
nese, met with a terrible death last
week at Keauhou, North Kona, when
he was washed off the reef at night
time and torn to pieces by ravenous
sharks. One of the sharks paid for
the death of the man by being shot
dead by Deputy Sheriff Charles Ma
hale, who, at daylight the following
morning, saw horrible tragedy enact
ed in the water at the foot of the
cliffs, but all the same was able to
plant two rifle balls in the body of
an eighteen-foot man-eating shark that
was deyeuring the body of the Japa-
nese. .s.. -
From the story told by the compan-
ions of Fugimori, it is learned that
a party of five, including the unfor-
tunate victim, went fishing on the
reef by torchlight. They spent some
hours spearing fish and all went we'll
until a blind wave" came in and
washed Fugimori out to deep water.
That was the last seen of the man
until the next morning.
At daylight, Deputy Sheriff Nahale,
who had been told of the accident,
went down to the cliffs that overlook
the scene of the tragedy. He took his
rife along, and had hardly seated him.

when an enormous fish arose out of the
depths with what remained of Fugi-
mort in his mouth. The. police officer
fired a shot that penetrated the
sharks brain and at once followed it
up with another that turned the sea
monster belly upwards " ....E
The officer then, with the assist
ance of some men, lowered a rope
into the water and managed to lasso
the remains of the Japanese. The
body was frightfully mutilated. While
the body was being angled for two

around in the deep water. but rife
balls could not reach them. The Japa-
nese's body was buried the same aft

death was returned by a coroner's
jury.
