Chow" Italian Military Salute Special Correspondents A. P.

 HEADQUARTERS, THE ITALIAN N ARMY-"When your soldiers salute each other, 'they say How just like the American Indians" said Major Boiling of the American military mis- sion to.General Cadorna during his re- cent visit to the front
 Tt does sound like your English but what they really use is a word pronounced Chow though spelled Chinese, but it's really an old Pied- montese mountain salutation"
 Since the war this word Chow" has become the most popular m the Italian language. One of it's peculiar ities is that it is never used by women It is chiefly used by the soldiers as they pass each other along the front One of the sights of the front is to hear the exclamation used by two comrades of Alpine regiments who have not met for a long time. The "Chow" leaps from their very hearts. and then they fall to kissing each other on the cheeks, and skipping each other on the shoulder until the very hills seem to resound with the force of their friendly blows.

From Sydney, Australia news has been received in San Francisco of the death of Laurence uarry) Foley, known to the sporting world from Pekin to Paris as the discoverer and instructor of Bob Fitzsimmons, Peter Jackson and Young Griffo. Foley was more than seventy years of age, death being due to heart failure. Although Foley had never visited the United States, his record as q developer, trainer and instructor of great box CTS was as well known in this coun- try as in his native land. He was an ardent believer in all kinds of physi- cal training and he preserved the vigOr of his system both mental and physi- cal to the end.
 Larry" Foley, a pugilist himself in his early days, was the connecting link between the two codes of boxing, the London Prize Ring rules and the Marquis of Queensberry rules, in Aus trala. His bout with Abe Hicken over thirty eight years ago marked the passing of the old order of fight rules from the -<Antipodes.

new BUILDING FOR
|G.P. 0. URGENT NEED
Big Increase in Work, Old
Building Inadequate, An
nual Report Shows.
RESUME OF YEARS WORK

Urgent need for q new building for the
government printing ONCE, to- cost ap.
proximateiy 32.25o.ooo and to be located
adjoining the present building. at North
Capitol and H streets. is emphasized by
Cornelius Ford. the public printer. in his
annual report to Congress-.
The report sets forth that the amount
Of printing and binding produced during
the fiscal year 1917 far exceeded that OF
any previous year. A largo portion Of this
increase was during the last quarter, due
to preparedness and war activities
These orders varied in quantity from
1000 to 25,000,0o0 copies each, the work
ing forces were augmented as rapidly and
many Of the divisions were put on prac-
tically twenty y-four-hour runs, divided into
several shifts.
The lack of space to handle properly
only reason for the public printers urg-
ing new building. He renews a recon-
mendatfon made last year and points out
that even for normal work the present
structure Is inadequate. He says:
Work Increased 80 Per Cent.
Printing and binding for 1917 exceed
ed that of 1916 by over 80 per cent, and
it can readily be seen that IL an urgent
necessity for more working space ex-
listed in 1916. the demand for more room
at this time is an imperative and posi-
tive one. There Is at this time a con-
stant stacking. trucking, hauling and
rehauling OF work and stocks, made
necessary by the lack Of sufficient
space.
Halls and passageways are now used
for storing signatures, and In some
cases presses have been stopped on Ger.
tain work because the bindery or other
divisions through which the jobs must
progress could not at ono accept the
work by reason OF lack Of space. In
order to carry on the work at all 1t has
been necessary to use the old building
for both storage and production. Con-
dition of this building is bad, and II
has been condemned several times
many portions have been reinforced
the walls have been tied to prvent them
falling out. 1t Is built entirely OF
wood. excepting the exterior brick
wells, and for this reason there Is con-
slant danger to life and property; in
case Of fire it docs not seem possible
that any of the old building could be
saved, and the new building would be
in grave danger.
"The work Of this ofiice urgently de-
mands more storage space for paper
and supplies, room for the Installation
of Offset presses and the necessary
photomechanical equipment, and more
room for the operations OF the produc-
tive divisions
