his back, throwing it to the ground.
Not daunted by the accident, he
rushed into the house, secured his rifle
and took up a search for the animal
which had attacked him. He found

When Billy Sny4er, the head keeper,
went, to give Old Smiles his annual

He did not feel any more kindly when
he was roped and trussed to one of
the bars.
The only entrance to the cage is a
door in the back, which never has
been unlocked since the rhinoceros
was put behind thp bars. Snyder
reached the top of the cage by.means
of a long ladder, then lowered another
ladder into the cage.
Old Smiles tugged at his ropes-until
he got free. The keeper jumped
around the cage. He made the ladder
and scampered for the top. Rhino was
not to be fooled so easily. He rushed
for the ladder and threw Snyder into
the air, but the keeper, much to his
and Old Smiles' surprise, landed on
the back of the rhino.
Snyder made a jump for the ladder,

a pitchfork into Old Smiles. The ani

He Drove His Simplex Zip Over the
Wire in 300-Mile Race and Pulled
Down the $2,500 Prize.

sistent driving and the unfaltering
performance of his Simplex Zip

EMANS IMMEoIAnE RELEASE OF AMERlCANS
"Must Release Americana Regardless
of the Cause of Their Arrest," Is
Demand of United States.
Juarez, Mex.-Stronger even than
the demand made upon Brigadier Gen
eral Francisco Castro, commanding the
federal troops in the northern war
zone, for the release of Inspector
Charles B. Dixon, was the demand
which the United States state de
partment sent in code to American
Consul Marion B. Letcher at Chihua
hua City Thursday. It read in sub
stance:
"As the representative of the Unit
ed States government in Chihuahua,
you may formally and in the name of
the Unitdd States government demand
the immediate release of the Ameri
cans, Charles Biesel, Roland MacDon
aid and Raymond Harrell. Say ih the
most vigorous language to Governor'
General Alberto Marcado that he must
release these American citizens re
gardless of the cause of their arrest.
Say to him, further, that this must be
done in spite of and regardless of the
fact that the United States has not
recognized the Huerta government.
"Should the demand be formally de
clined, add that the United States will
insist upon the compliance of Mexico
and its de facto government with the
usages of international law, which is
well established, and with the rules
of humanity. Should this not avail,
inform the officials responsible for the
holding of these American citizens
that the United States of America
will hold them personally responsible
and all who are connected with the
affair responsible for the arrest and
confinement of these men."
Where Lily Blooms at Easter Time.
Washington.-Harvey C. Stiles, the
horticultural expert who is arranging

matter of establishing a fibre indus
try in the lower Rio Grande section
of the state, Friday called the atten

to the remarkable grove of 2,000 palm
trees at .Las Palmas, below Browns
ville, ?e encouraged the department
to take over that grove for a combina
tion national park and experimental
farm for the development of the Easter
lily and other semi-tropical plants.
That section of Texas 'is the only
part of the United States where the
Easter lily blooms in time for Easter.
Mr. Stiles has also made application
through Senator Sheppard for 100

work near Brownsville.

lost 30,000, 'in addition to thousands
who have died from cholera, which is
claiming hundreds every day.
The Greeks have lost 18,000 men, In.
cluding an unusually large number of
officers. In Bulgaria 30,000 me are
lying in the hospitals.
The total loss is estimated at 80,000,
approximating that in the entire camn

and Greek losses are fully double
those of the Turkish war.

ENGLAND AFTER NAY1 BASE . BERMUIBAS
May Revolutionize Entire Naval Policy,
as England Has Made inqukries
Concerning the Panama
Canal Route.
Washington. - Keen interest has
been aroused in official circles at
Washington by a report reaching the
state department that Great Britain
is contemplating establishing a great
naval base in the Bermuda Islands.
It is authoritatively stated that the
British government has made inquiry
concerning the plans of the United
States for protection of the Panama
canal routes, and it has been sug
gested that this indicates an inclina
tion to safeguard British shipping
through the isthmus as Is done in
the Mediterranean.
Officials realize that the problem
raised is a tremendous one, involving
as it may the very life of the Monroe
doctrine and marking, perhaps, a com
plete revolution in foreign naval pol.
icy in the Western Hemisphere, for
it Is expected that if Great Britain
changes her naval policy in American
Atlantic waters, other European na
tions probably will follow suit. While
these changes may be expected In the
Atlantic waters and the West Indies,
officials likewise realize that, with the
opening of the canal, the United
States must contend with Japan for
domination of the Pacific.
The British royal navy abandoned its
naval stations in this country about
ten years ago, when the United States
gave up the idea of the construction of
the Nicaraguan canal, and set about
digging the big waterways across Pan.
ama, whose approaching completion
bids fair to revolutionize International
relations.
Apart from its West Indian stations
the royal navy maintained stations at
Esqulmault, B., C., and Halifax, N. S.
(There once was a plan to strengthen
the fortifications at Esqulmault oves
looking the Strait of Juan de Fuca in
order to make that an important base,
but both these stations now are little
i more than recruiting stations for the
royal navy. British troops were with

grand military station became only a
commercial coaling station andisgnot
today even a saluting port.
HUERTA Will NOT CIE lP (RESI1DNCY
May Now Raise the Embargo on Arms
and Ammunition So They Can
Fight it Out.
Washington. - Official Washington
read with keen interest Saturday the
declaration of Aureliano Urrutia, Mex
lcan minister of the' interior, that Pro
visional President Huerta would not
resign, and, moreover, would brook
no nterference by foreigners in his
administration.
While no plan that the American
government has under serious consaid
eration involved direct interference in
Mexican affairs, the admitted attitude
of the administration is one unalter
ably opposed to recognition of the
Huerta regime.
Without the recognition of the Unit
ed States, kading Mexicans hitherto
have claimed, Mexico would not be
able to extricate herself from her
financial difficulties. On this account
it has been hoped at Washington that
pressure would be brought to bear
to persuade Provisional 'Presideat
Huerta 'to resign. The announcement
that he has determ'ned not to do so
has beclouded the situation and has
spurred the qonstitutionallats to fur
ther activity to obtain the repeal of
the embargo on arms. They claim
that it they don't get arms the revolu
tion will be a protracted struggle.
With munitions of war, they say they
can quickly bring matters to a crisis.
