BOXING AS A WAR EXERCISE
British French Favor Sport Preparation for Harp of BattIe-Johnny Kilbane Conplnented by Secretary Baker-Racing at Windsor Postponed

read my letters, which have been ac- cumulating for some time.
 T am extremely anxious to have the training camps filled with athletic ac- tivities of one kind or another, and 1 think it would be a splendid thing for you to give some of your time to teaching boxing in the various camps. I have, therefore, asked Mir. Frederick, who is chairman of the commission in charge of training camp recreations, to take the matter up with DO and to arrange for such opportunities as he can find with a view of your rendering this service.
 T think it is a inc thing for you to do, and I will be very glad in- deed to find another C1eveiander at work on the job. With cordial re- gards, believe me. sincerely yours,
 NEWTON D. BAKER.
 Secretary of War"
 Kilbane says he will report as soon as ordered, and if his work in the camps interferes with his boxing dates he will give up the latter. The little champion has proved that he is a true American citizen, ready to do ris Dit and sacrifice everything else. How many other champions can say the sam ?e
 Benny Leonard's apparent reluctance to sign up for a bout evidently had something to do with Johnny's latest move. The featherweight champ was anxious to meet the new title holder and make the weight at 1855 pounds, ringside, but Gibson and his man re- fused to even consider it.

Tearing a leaf from the experiences | of the British and French soldiers on the battlefront of Europe, the United States will adopt a regular schedule of sport for the men on the firing line and in the training camps. In fact, | the American army is making prepar- ations to instruct and entertain the khaki clad heroes in their off hours, and nothing has proved more benefi- cial than wholesale and strenuous sport.
 Boxing will form the principal ex-
 ercise and one of the greatest expon- =
 ents of the game will have charge or
 the work of coaching the men. In
 Canada every soldier is required to
 put on the gloves each day and in
 dulge in a certain number Of rounds or
 sparring. This is considered quite
 important as boxing is an important
 part of the bayonet drill. Military au-
 thorities have found that boxers make the best bayonet fighters and that the movements of boxer are exactly the
 movements of a man fighting with a
 bayonet. It has been asserted that the success of the English and French in this sort of fighting in the trench es has been due to boxing, the great Anglo-Ss-Son sport
 When war was declared many ath- letes in the United States rushing to minority. Many said they were ready to join the big fight. but this never passed the conversation stage Will lard offered his services until they were accepted and then forgot all about it The other champions, with the exception of one, docged all argu- ments and remained in the back ground.
 Johnny Kiibane, the feather weight champion, is the only title holder who really has done some thing besides talk. He quietly offer ed his services to his country and they have been accepted. He will have charge of the boxing work in the camps and will devote his time to travelling from place to place, teach ing the men the manly art of self de- fense.
 Kilbane is anxious to do something really worth while He has read of the boxing carniva1s behind the bat tie lines and thought it would be a good thing to try it here. He did not give second thought t his Income of $50, 900 to $50, 900 a year. He was will ing to give this up in order to help in the mobilization of the army He see Secretary of War Baker, but the secretary was in a cabinet meeting.

A French Seaport, July 2.-The last units of the American expeditoonary force, comprising vessels loaded with supplies and horses, arrived here to- and moaning of sirens. Their coming one week after the first troops landed. was greeted almost as warmly as ar rival of the troops themselves, be- cause it meant complete success of the undertaking.
 Many of the American soldiers crowded down to the wharf to greet the last ships of the expedition and the American vessels in the hirbor which made up previous continSents of the force Joined in the welcome. The late arrival of the supply ships was due not only to later departure from America but to the fact that the vessels were slower than those which had come before. The delay caused little anxiety.

At the same time we emphasized the necessity of the reinforcement of General Nixon by a fully organized division which should reach Bagdad not later than one month after it's capture. The question appears to have been threshed out by an nterdepartmental committee in London, and the combined staff and all the military authorities in London and India and so far as I then knew, | in Mesopotamia. were in agreement | that General Nixon's force was ade- | quate for the capture of Bagdad, but ] not sufficient to insure it's retention.
