For the first time in the history

betting over the champion. The
Letting switched at the last minute
and the new champion was made a

won the tisht after three rounds of
gruelling. in which the ex-champion's
face was made to resemble a
ji ;; formation rather than a human j
physiognomy.
The challenger fooled Willard by
Hamming at his body, while the big
ger man was jabbing lightly to the
face. Suddenly he shot a left hook
to Jess's jaw that was the first good
punch of the fight, ami V.'illird sank
to the flour, badly rattled and al
most out. It develops later that this
blow had broken his jaw.
Willard rose slowly to his feet and
Jack jumped in with another left
swing to the jaw and Willard
dropped aain. He staggered to his
feet and made a feeble attempt c
defense, but after a few blows. Jaii;

with a right, and Willard went back
to the ropes and fell to the canvas.

scrap was a continual mixup from
that time on, each man punching
blindly at the other's head, but Wll

miracle that he survived the second

he wouldn't had it not been for the

Washington, July 2. An unusual
storv of hardships, darine and mir-

naval officers made public an ac-

around at sea for more than two
days, during which the crew had
practically nothing to eat and ran
short of drinking water. The dirigi
ble finally was forced to descend 01:
the surface of the sea and the crew
was rescued by the Swedish ship
Skajrern.
The B-12. with Ensign V.. B
Griffen as commanding officer and
pilot, was ordered to leave Chathan:,

exuedition. German submarines

send or receive messages.

Ensign Griffen ordered the motors
cut off in order to save the gasoline
for ballast.
The B-12 was at that, time about
200 feet In the air and was virtually
a rree nanoon. narmiess was coin
ing on and the big gas bag was drift-
lg northward at a speed of about
so nines an uour.
A sea anchor was rigged up and
an effort made to retard the dirigi
ble's progress by dragging it in the
ea. After a few moments, however,
the towing cable parted ami the
northward progress was resumed at
an increased speed.
Nine Rockets Fired
About 8:30 o ciock that night a
ship was sighted and nine rockets
were fired from a pistol. The vessel
apparently saw the signals and di
rected, its course toward the B-12,
only to turn away. About that time
the pipeline leading to the emer
gency oil tank broke and before the
leak was discovered all of the oil
was lost, causing a considerable de
crease of ballast. The B-12 began
to rise and ascended steadily until
an altitude of 3.000 feet was reach
ed.
All night the dirigible continued
its wild dash northward, the crew
meantime consuming the small
amount of food aboard.
Early on the morning of the sec
ond day the gas bag buckled and the
horizontal fins dropped to a verti
cal position. Throughout that day
the big bag alternately dropped un
til periously near the sea and as
cended to altitudes or more than
2.500 feet. Every available article
was thrown overboard to keep the
ship from plunging Into the ocean.
Not a vessel was sighted. The crew

Pn the morning of the third day
the sun -shone brightly and as mo
gas in the bag expanded rapidly, the
B-12 started to rise. Ensign Griffen
decided to bring the bag to the sur
face and take a chance on being
picked up. Shortly after descending
a ship was sighted and it directed
its course toward the dirigible, the
crew of which meanwhile were hav-
ing great difficulty in keeping clear
of the water. The ship proved to be
the Swedish steamer Skagern, bound
for Halifax. A small boat was put
over the side and the crew of the
B-12 taken off. Then as the In-

El Paso, JuJy 2. Francisco Villa
ordered all Americans hanged when
captured, following the crossing of
the American expedition, according
to a foreign resident of northern
Mexico, who has reached the border.
He sent a train to Villa Ahumada

there, the refugee said, and was so

I ened to kill Hipolito Villa, his
I brother, "because of Hipolito's pro-

Villa and Marfan Lopez quarreled
after the retreat from Juarez, he
said, and divided their forces.
This statement was made by Don
ald B. Best, a British subject, who
owns a large store at Villa Ahuma
da. .
Best said Hipolito Villa was seri
ously ill in the Best home in Villa
Ahumada when Villa threatened
him and the leader's brother was
forced to leave in a small cart for
the Ojinaga district to save his life.
Villa and his band looted the Best
store. '
Break With Lopez.
The British merchant gave the
first details of a break between Villa
and Martin Lopez as related by
Mexicans who said they were pres
ent. "Villas men, ragged, without
ammunition and sullen, after retir
ing before the Americans at Juarez,
held a meeting at Villa Ahumada,
Mexican friends told me," Best said.
"They voted to depose Villa, in fa
vor of Angeles, who then was at
Samalayuca tearing up the railroad
to prevent American troops from
pursuing them south.
"Next day General Quiroga wijth
a federal force 2,U0u Yaqui Indi
ans and other troops arrived at
Ojo Cajiente, having come south.
Villa sent Martin Lopez to engage
them. Lopez was defeated. Villa
withdrew, reorganized his demoral
ized forces and sent Lopez against
the Yaquis a second time. Defeated
again, ilia retired to the hanto Do
mingo ranch, leaving his wounded
behind. There Martin Lopez de
nounced Villa, according to the
statements of witnesses."
Called Villa a Liar.
r "Lopez pulled his pistol, covered
Villa and called him a liar, a Mex
ican who was present told me,"
Best said.
"Lopez was apparently angered
because Villa had made a speech to
his .men before attacking Juarez.
telling them the Americans , were
friends of himself and Angeles, that
the American Red Cross would care
for their wounded and everything
would be fine for them after they
had taken the Juarez port. Lopez
announced he was through with
Villa, cursed him and said he was
going to look out for himself, in the
future and would have nothing more
to do with Villa. Villa sent for
Angeles at Samalayuca, but left for
San Lorenzo de Carmen before we
heard whether Angeles reached
Villa's camp. Villa also threatened
to burn the ranch buildings at Santo
Domingo, but Lopez stopped him,
Mexicans told me."
Villa agents deny Villa intended
to kill Americans, calling attention
to the fact that more than two
weeks had passed since American
troops dispersed Villa's forces with
no reprisals having been exacted.
Loss Of Appetite.
As 'a general rule there is noth
ing serious about a loss of appetite,
and if you skip a meal or only eat
two meals a day for a few days you
will soon have a relish for your
meals when meal time comes. Bear
in mind that at least five hours
should always elapse between meals
so as to give the food ample time to
digest and the stomach a period of
rest before a second meal is taken
Then 'if you eat no more than you
crave and take a reasonable amount
of. outdoor exercise every day you
will not need, to worry about your
appetite. When the loss of appetite
