LARGEST AMERICAN CATS.
Jaguars Are Bigger but Less Fierce
Than African Leopards.

The jaguar, or Eel tigre." as it Is gen.
orally known throughout Spanish
America, is the largest and handsom-
est of American cats. It's size and deep
yellow color, profusely marked with
black spots and rosettes, give 1t close
resemblance to the African leopard. Il
is, however, a heavier and more pow
erful animal
In parts OF the dense tropical forest
of South America coal black jaguars
occur, and, while representing merely a
color phase, they are supposed to DE
much fiercer than the ordinary animal.
Although so large and powerful, the
jagular has none of the truculent feroc-
ity of the African leopard. During
the years spent in its country, mainly
in the open, made careful inquiry
without hearing of a single case where
one had attacked human beings.
In one locality on the Pacific coast
of Guerrero l found that the harder
natives had an interesting method of
hunting the tiger" during the mating
period. At such times the male has the
habit of leaving its lair near the head
Of small canyon in the foothills early
In the evening and following down the
canyon for some distance, at intervals
uttering subdued roar.
On moonlight nights at this time the
hunter places an expert native with
short wooden trumpet near the mouth
OF the canyon to initiate the tigers
call as soon az it is heard and to re-
peat the cry at proper intervals, After
placing the caller the hunter ascends
the canyon several hundred yards and,
gun In hand. awaits the approach OF
the animal.
The natives tell many amusing tales
of the sudden exit of untried hunters
when the approaching animal unexpect-
edly uttered its roar at close quarters

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The Germans are maintaining an
almost continuous COMMANDMENT OF
the British and French positions on
the western front, an activity that is
believed to presage a big Teutonic
offensive.
In Italy the French made some
gains at the north end of the line and
the Italians succeeded in driving the
Austro- Germans from the last foot
holds they had on the right bank Of
the lower Piave. The Teutons are
sending airplane raiders to drop
bombs on Italian cities, causing some
damage. One of these raids ia which
% airplanes participated, resulted in
the invaders losing II machines.
From Russia comes news that the
peace terms offered by Germany,
which include schemes of annexation
OF conquered territory by the central
powers, are not acceptable to the
Russians. Negotiations are still in
progress.
