Bridgport, March 30.—Although the Barnum & Bailey circus has left win- ter quarters and will open its season at Madison Square Garden, in New Work, next Thursday night, the route which it will follow during the sum- mer and early autumn has not yet been decided, and there even is a pos- sibility of its being obliged to close the season early and return to Bridge- port long before the summer is done. The reason for this is the preval- ance of foot and mouth disease among h\e stock in the middle west and southwest, which is the contemplated scene of the operations of the circus this year. Eighteen States Quarantined. «Eighteen states are maintaining a rigid quarantine against cattle, swine, hay and straw from other states, and this quarantine, if it is in force when the schedule takes the circus to the borders of any of them, will debar it from entrance, it is feared. TThe management of the circus has been in consultation with the bureau of ‘animal industry of the department of agriculture at Washington, but the only result of the conference is the advice that the quarantine regula- tions must stand, as the situation in the catle states is so serious that no exception can be made. Sells-Floto Show Inactive. The Sells-Floto circus, which was to have opened its season in Texas two weeks ago, is lying inactive at Denver, Col., because of the cattle plague. While all the stock connect- ed with the show is free from infec- tfon, the fact that the show had with it hay and straw bought in a state in which the plague exists was suf- ficient to prevent its admittance to Texas. The show then started for Albuquerque, N, M., but the authori- ties of New Mexico insisted upon an observance of the quarantine. It was thén ordered to Denver., The situation is giving the Barnum & Bailey management deep concern, as the curtailment of the , season would entail upon it the loss of hun- dreds of thousands of dollars.

With the arrival of United States troops at Brownsville, Tex., today to prevent the firing into American ter- ritory by the Mexican forces contend- ing for possession of Matamoros, war department officials are confident that they now have the situation well ir hand. Three batteries of the Third Tield artillery were on their way today to Brownsville from San Antonio and a regiment of infantry was being held in readiness at Texas City to move there on a moment's notice. Orders to the troops had gone from the war de- partment in response to the susx- gestion of Major General Funston, ! commanding the Amerlcan forces on the border, who had gone to Browns- ville to assume command of the situa- tion. Precautions Deemed Necessary. These precautions were deemed necessary to impress upon the com- manders of the Mexican forces fight- mg at Matamoros that firing across the border, to the peril of American lives will not be permitted. Assur- ances had been given, however, by the Carranza and Villa agencies here that firing into the Texas city would not bhe allowed.

(Correspondence of the Assocfated Press.) London, March 30.—The Times military correspondent admits .that England, France and Russia are stil short of much necessary war ma- terial, and that Germany's prepared- riess in this respect has been' one of the heaviest handicaps that the allies have had to contend with. “The result of this war depends more upon material than any other great conflict in; history,” adds the correspondent. ““The entente powers were all short of material when the war began, but they are making up leeway very fast. Before long their equipment will be complete, and from that moment onward they will be in a position to bring into play their | large numerical preponderance, “For ony a short time more they ‘have to stand on the defensive, hold- ing their armies on the defensive and shunning adventures for which this is not the moment. The hour for the offensive will come, but it has not come vet, and it is the greatest m | take in the world to display impa- tience and to expect to cull the fruits of victory before victory is ripe.” Kaiser’'s Enemies Are NO BOXING IN NEVADA, Gov.

There is a strong possibility that the Western league, of which Tip O’Neil is president, may not be able to open | the geason. Two of the Kansas clubs of the league are in financial difficul~ ties. These clubs are Topeka and | Wichita. The owners of these two clubs realize that the coming . season is gaing to be more disastrous than the last, and they have both sug- gested novel schemes, whereby the baseball fans of these two cities may see the clubs play free of charge this season. John Savage, the owner of.the To- peka club, has made a proposition to the Commercial club of Topeka that if $5,000 is guaranteed the club will play the schedule through and the fans would be charged no admission. The baseball club owners believe that the publicity a baseball club brings to a city is worth at least that much to the business men. The suggestion of is much the same. president of the club, to the business men that they pay all the club’s expenses by popular subscription, and then throw the gates open and admit the public free to the games.

Paris March 30.—An annex for sol- diers who 'have lost their sight dur- ing the war was opened today in the ancient Asylum Quinze Vingts, which was founded in the year 0 by Louis IX (St. Louis) after some 300 of his followers had been blinded in his crusades. Among the first twenty mitted to the annex was a young American named Joseph Amar. He is twenty-two vears old and was born in Washington. Amar was at Lyons working for an electrical when the war began. He enlisted the foreign legion and took part dangerous scouting tasks, and especially skillful in throwing hand grenades into German trenches. He lost both his eves by a premature bursting of a grenade thrown by a comrade. The Military Metal, which is reserved for the “heroes of France,” has been awarded Amar, “I am glad to have TP'rance and for the I'rench cause,” id men ad- in in the Wichita club Juck Ebright, has suggested fought for justice of the Amar yesterday ideas reflect the se minor leagues Simsbur, By Discovery.
