sons every one interested in the
game wants 10 be out tonight.

officer at Fort Bliss refused 10
let Casper come for the fight
with Babe Cabell. which accounts
for the Parson being mixed up
in the affair. If he wins from
Cabcll and can preach as well as
he can fight we all will want 10
hear him.
Gink Parker and Kid Ford are
billed for a tcn-round session in

ohe-half the amount heretofore
charged, SOC, 81 and S1.5O being
the price Of admission. and the

York agreedeto purchase SAG acres OF
land at Hog Island, to be utilized for
the purpose of the contract upon six
per cent rental basis, to build on this
tract with funds furnished by the
emergency feet corporation ship
yard of fifty ways and to construct
with funds supplied from the same
source fifty or more steel cargo ships
at an estimated cost of 81, 100, 600 each.
The agreement was that upon compile
ton of the ships the feet corporation
might purchase the plant at value to
be fixed by appraisal, failing which the
government would scrap the plant and
remove 1t. The estimated cost of con-
structing the yard was $21 100000. On
October %, the fleet corporation
placed an order for seventy additional
steel ships estimated to cost $1,650,000
each, calling for longer ways and piers
and also for more shop and storage
capacity On November 81, the con-
tractor revised the estimate of yard
construction cost, adding $2,750,000
on account of the additional seventy
ships and $3,250,000 on account of I'M
favorable subsoil conditions, costly
labor and necessary extensions of the
plant. On May Z, an order for sixty
more ships to cost $1,425,0 each was
placed. All of the $50 ships were to
be completed by August 4, 1919.

President Wilson's plan for visiting
London, while not yet positive, contem-
plates that he will leave for England
next Thursday, December &c. He will
probably remain in England four days
Details Of the trip to London are
being worked out by the President in
consultations with Colonel House, Cap
tain Andre Tardieu, French high COM
missioner to the United States, and
members of the American embassy
staff in London.
The president will start for London
Immediately after he has Christmas
dinner with the American troops in

turn directly to Paris, but it is ex-
pected he will visit the devastated re-
gions of northern France and Belgium
1t is expected he will be back in Paris
about January 4, on the eve of the
first meeting of the interallied con-
ference On January 6.
Arrange Common Basis.
The opening melting of the allied
conference will be confined to repre-
sentatives of the allies and the United
States, who will arrange a common
basis of action for the formal sessions
of the peace congress which will open
toward the middle or latter part of
January. 1t is expected that the Ger
man delegates then will be present
for the first time. 1t is pointed out
as this is not negotiated peace, but
victorious peace, based on virtual
unconditional surrender in which the
enemy has been compelled to give up
all demanded, the main purpose of the
preliminary conference beginning in
early part of January, is to arrange
common front for the peace con-
gress.
For that reason the conferences 60
ing on between the president and Pre-
mier Orlando of Italy and later with
Premier Lloyd George in London, have
an important bearing on this prelim-
mary adjustment
