Offers have been made to Leonard for bouts that would net him huge sums of money but it is doubtful if the army can spare him for the time 1t would be necessary for him to 20 and make the battles. Of course, he Is in constant good condition, through his work at the camps.
 Johnny Kilbane and Mike Gibbons are two other champions who have already received their commissions and are ready for duty. Kilbane Is one of the most patriotic lads in the en- tire service. Gibbons has given up business interests and sacrificed time that belongs to his family. Mike waived exemption claims when he re- gistered for the national army and announced himself ready to take on the whole German army, or any part of it to a finish fight.
 Kilbane, Leonard and Gibbons have set a splendid example for American youths. There are many others in the army and navy who have done the same thing - notable among them be- ing Joe Yelling, a serious contender for Leonard's claim.

GIVEN \ COMMISSIONS
 INSTRUCTOR

NEW YORK. Nov. 2. - The patri- otic fight fans, Benny Leonard claims. have been treating him unfairly. The lightweight champion is considerably grieved because he has been accused of stepping out of clinch with the kaiser after having promised to take him on for a regular scrap.
 When Benny took Freddie Welsh to a first class trimming recently in New York he announced right off that he was going to enter some branch of service and fight for Uncle Sam. But the time continued rolling along with out any enlistment out of the new lightweight king. Criticisms then be- gan to break up Bennys peace and he began to smart under the skin.
 Now that Benny has received an ap- p0intment and a commission that makes him boxing instructor in one of the new training camps he has of. fered an explanation. He declares that right after he whipped Welsh he went to Washington and offered to en. list, but was told by officials there it was not wise for them to accept him at once.
 Benny says he was told his services would be much more valuable if he worked as an athletic instructor, and with this advice he came back to New York to wait. Now that he has re- ceived his commission he is ready with explanations.

the workers will be given luncheon

In every Washington shop and fac
tory there will be what the evangel-
lists call a key man." In the case
OF the women workers, this key

VIII be known as a council girl. -
Their duties will be to ''line-un'
their fellow workers in the campaign
and urge them to attend the shop
gatherings. There will be a meet
ing a week at each of the plants, and
it will be held in the same day each
week. Various ministers and lay
men are being urged to Cooperate
with DR.. Ward and Mrs. Alher in
making the proposed gatherings a
success.
In Atlanta, where the Sunday reyi-
valists are now winding up a sue
cessful campaign, an average of
900 men and women workers have
been attending these monday meet
ings each week. This work is con-
sidered most important part of a
Sunday campaign. Its object is to
reach the workers who, because Of
their hours of labor. cannot get to
either the afternoon or evening
meetings at the tabernacle.
