DUELING POPULAR
' IN ARGENTINA
Buenos Aires, June 10. (By Mail)
(United Press) Items like the fol
lowing, which appeared in the Buenos
Aires Herald recently, are seen fre
quently in the Argentine press:
"In the 'quinta' (dooryard) of Dr.
Delcasse, a prominent lawyer, situ
ated in Belgrano (a Buenos Aires
suburb), a duel with sabres was
fought yesterday between Senores
Manuel 'Rocca and Ezequiel B. Casbas
before several witnesses. Senor Rooea
was wounded slightly in the first as
sault, when the duel was called off
and the antagonists became reconciled
upon the field of honor."
For hitting a man with your fist,
if blood is drawn, the minimum Ar
gentine penalty is six months' im
prisonment without the option of a
fine, but the police never pay any at
tention to duelists. Argentine duels,
too, sometimes result fatally.
Army Mules Have
Their Bray Removed
BY HENRY WOOD
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
With the French Army Afield, June
25 (By Mail) Uncle Sam rendered
France a great service in letting her
have his mules at a vtry good prico
but France lias returned the service
a thousand times by solving the secret
of a brayless mule.
When the American pack mule ar
rived in France to "do his bit" he of
course brought his bray with him.
The mule was welcome but the
bray well an unusual sound on s
battlefield is undesirable. It might
tip off the Boche to a surprise at
tack. In an effort to put an end to the
nightly "love song" of the pack mule
the French military officers decided
to separate the sexes, and all gentle
men mules were retained for service
in one sector while all of the lady
mules were taken off for service in
a more distant region.
This produced very marked results.
Nevertheless there still remained cer
tain mules who either from force of
habit or from conviction that both
their love and their voice were strong
that their lady loves would hear them
no matter how far away they might
be, persisted in making the welkin
ring with a gigantic bray just at the
place and time when it would give
the "Boches" the right cue for
sending in a hail of shells, grenades
and rifle fire.
The habits and temperament of the
mule were then subjected to further
and more profound study by the
French and this time with more happy
results. It was found that a very
slight operation performed on the
nostrils of a mule would render him
as silent as a wrecked phonograph,
and since then the American mules in
the Vosges have met all requirements
that could possibly be exacted from
them.

BY H. C. HAMILTON
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, July 6 Jack Britton is
32 years old.
With a margin of seven or eight
years over most of the top-notch
scrappers in the United States Brit
ton hasr been successfully defending
the title of the welterweight cham
pion against all comers. After he de
cided he wanted to be king among the
142-pounders Britton hasn't barred
anyone. Twelve times he met Ted
Lewis, the hard-hitting and shifty
Englishman and finally met him in
a twenty-round affair at Dayton, only
to lose his championship.
Britton, whose name is William J.
Breslin, began fighting in 1905. He
met all of them, beginning with the
little fellows and working his way
straight through the lightweight class.
The best of them were never too good
for him. He was credited with being
the cleverest lightweight in the game,
aside from Packey McFarland, who
undoubtedly was a welter weight even
in the best days of his lightweight
career.
Britton was charged with being a
dancing master sort of boxer one of
the decidedly unpopular Freddie
Welsh type, but his record shows
I plenty of knockouts over some of the
I toughest boys who ever fought 'in' the
j divisions he went through.
Kid Farmer was one of the men
who fell before the smashes Britton
turned loose, and it would be hard to
find anywhere in the records a boxer
tougher than Farmer.
Britton also credits himself with a
victory in eighteen rounds in New
Orleans over Charlie White, but as
a matter of fact, White was getting
such a terrific cuffing that the bout
was awarded to Britton and he should
be given credit for a technical knock
out. Britton is a steady trainer, never
out of condition, always ready to jump
a few hundred miles and fight. And
he never has been known to really dis
appoint an audience. The times in his
career when the newspapers have pan
ned him for his boxing have been very
few. Even his bout with Packey Mc
Farland in Milwaukee, when Packey
was unmercifully hauled over the
fiery coals of criticism yielded noth
ing of severe censure for Britton.
Britton has been a real pleaser, the
kind the fans wanted, and it will be
surprising if he doesn't retrieve laur
els he lost to Lewis.

property and stations of the United
States Navy in this country must still
bo carefully guarded against, is shown
by a case which is now before the De
partment of Justice, says a statement
issued here today at Navy League
headquarters.
In a southern city with a popula
tion of about 30,000 people, says this
statement, there is a colony of Ger
man subjects who recently petitioned
the government, through the Depart-,
ment of Justice, to waive certain of
the restrictions placed upon them as
to their residence in fixed zones.
These restrictions prevent alien en
emies from living or going within a
certain distance of any Naval Station
or ship.
The petition from the Germans of
the southern city, mentioned abovo,
was so phrased on its face that it
appeared to be an entirely harmless
request. Federal officials in the
south were inclined to grant it The
petition was, however, referred to
Washington. An investigation proved
that there was on foot a scheme to
place certain German agents close to
the navy yard where considerable mis
chief might then be done. It has now
.been decided that, not only will the
areas from which those Germans are
j barred not be limited or reduced, but
,that increased surveilance over every
movement will be maintained.
The belief is expressed that had th
I request been granted, it was the in
I tention of alien enemies in other cities
to make a similar request, and that in
the end serious harm might have re
.' suited.
