Senator Chamberlain announced last
night that he weuld then demand ref

committee. Senator Swanson, acting
chairman Of the naval committee, will
oppose the motion on the ground that
the naval committee should be consult

BAY0NET FENCING FEATURE
Amateur Fencers' League of America
Strikes Popular Chord.

The Amateur Fencers' League of
America struck popular chord when
il decided to introduce bayonet fenc-
ing in its informal competitions during
the season just opened. The fencing
fans and the participants both have
hailed this change with delight. and
the novelty as well as the timeliness Of
the innovation is sure 20 attract many
new devotees of the sport. Use of
the bayonet already has proved prac-
teal to many fencers of last year, who
now are in the army. The wartime
spirit adds interest to such competi-
lions. and the league doubtless will
benefit by its farsiChtedness.
