NAVAL TRAINING REFORM IN
 RUSSIA
(By Associated Press)

PETROGRAD, Aug. 25. - Major General Klado, chief of naval educa- tional institutions, has prepared a radical plan of naval training reform, based on the doctrine that the recent granting of full political rights to fighting men of both services involves the infusion of a new spirit into their education.
 The plan provides that the existing naval academy, school for marines, marine engineering institute and Se- bastopol naval training corps shall all be directed from a central naval edu- cational institution in this city. Other marine and naval schools will be united with the Sabastopol corps into a single naval school to be situated in Sebastopol. A radical reform is that for these schools, all persons will be eligible who have had secondary edu- cation. There will be no privileges nor nobles. Thereby the career of ma val officer will be opened to Russians of relatively humble position and means.

NOR WAY |S NOT
 SUFFERING FOR ..... FOOD

CHRISTIANIA. Norawy, Aug. %. - As far as the food problem is con cerned, Norway has been in a better condition than the other two Scandi- navian countries, and although the public more than a year ago asked that it be put on rations of sugar flour and potatoes, the government has not yet found it necessary. At pres ent everybody can obtain all he needs If foodstuffs - if he is able to pay the high prices. The government and the municipalities are trying to help by paying a certain part of the eX- cess prices so that the laborer, for instance, has been able to buy milk, bread. fuel. pork and some other ar ticles of food at prices not much high er than under normal circumstances. As his wages have been raised from 40 to 100 per cent in the last three years, the high cost of living is felt Ness by the laborer than by people working on fixed salary in the ser vice of the state or cities, These pub lie employers have not made the salar- ies follow the increased cost of living. The result is that it has come to a crisis for the civil service; young we'll fitted men resign their positions for better places with private employers and the work in the governmental de. oartments is crippled.

SEA GULlS AS AN AID

 Prevent all merchant ships from strewing garbage on the oceans. Then the sea gulls wouldn't trail the ships. Then take some tame U. s. subma- rines. and throw food out from them to the gulls, Very simple. Gulls learn to associate periscope of sub marines with food. Follow submarines.

FULTON MORRIS cO BE 4 REAL
 ELIMINATION
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. 25. - When Carl Morris and Fred Fulton meet in Ohio on Labor Day in fuss billed oyer the fifteen round route. all their squab- bles over who is the better man should be settled. With a decision attached to the agreement, and with the go ex- tending over the modest ten rounds someone should be eliminated with lit tie trouble, and the chances of foul to either man should be greatly les sened -
 Fulton must be given credit for hay ing plenty of nerye-at least outside of the ring. Whether that requisite remains with him after. he has en. tered tne ropod urunu rb sumrnfns Morris has beent prone to question. That's something else that will be brought out in their forthcoming ba5. tie.
 Morris, the original white hope, Win be made or ruined by this effort Al most the same extreme awaits Ful- ton, but he is much younger at the game than Morris. and would have less trouble clambering back to. favor.
 Of all the heavyweights now in the game there is not one who stands as high in the public eye as Fulton That he is the logacl man to meet Jess Will lard for the worlds championship is conceded by most critics. He has, however, the stigma of a defeat at the hands of Morris, which must he wiped out before he can hope to force the big champion into a match. And if he succeeds in getting Morris out of the way, it is probable that Will lard still will demand a meeting with Frank Moran, the Pittsburg heavy weight
 Tex Rickard believes the time has. come for promoters to lay aside their efforts to bring boxers together and fly into the war with all their punch.
 People are not going to fights, D said Tex recently. "The war is talk ing up too much of their time and too much of their money. I don't believe in trying to get fight dollars while such war is in progress. I. have no intention of trying to stage big fight now, and probably will never make another effort unless the war soon ends"
