MANY CHAMPIONS
INSTRUCTORS AT
SOLDIERS CAMPS

Des Moines, Feb: With almost
all the clever American boxers and
champions busy as bees instructing
our young athletic soldiers in the fine
points of the manly art in the many
military camps. some great results
should spring from their efforts dur
ing the next year or SO.
Never in the history Of the world
has boxing become so prominent, uni
versal and beneficial as by the intro
duction of the grand old sport as part
of the training of every young recruit
in our big army and navy. 1t is now
compulsory for all our young war
riors to know how to box.
1t is hard indeed, to imagine the out
come of all the fistic instructions and
practice, now going on in the camps.
It is sure to make the sport more pop
ular than ever and besides produce
and develop hundreds Of clever ring
sters. At the close Of the Internal war
many of these soldier-boxers will I'M
doubtedly snter the professional and
amateur rings with the gallant fight
ing spirit which will win them fame
and wealth.
The rugged, strenuous life OF our
soldiers and sailors who are now such
enthusiastic students Of the manly
art, will develop them into clever
world beaters, with wonderful endur-
ance. courage and science. They will
not be of the stalling ten FOUNDERS
calibre, but gritty. sturdy fighters, who
will be willing to combat any num-
Der of rounds. 1t is really almost i'm
possible to predict Just at present
what the outcome will be for boxing
with all the new candidates the army
and navy will produce in the next two
years.

Important industries of the Country Are to Be Encouraged by the
 Government. n E

The secretary of agriculture of Bra. gil recently presented lengthy me- morial to the president of the republic explaining the necessity of encOurag- ing the coal and steel industries, which has resulted in the publication of two decrees of the federal government.
 The secretary's report states that until there are at least ten coal mines in active operation in the country the effect of this industry will not be felt in the conservation of the wood, SUD- ply, which is now being rapidly con- stunned to meet the needs of the rail- ways and of domestic industries. The steel industry is so largely dependent upon suitable fuel. that, in the secre- tary's opinion, 1t should also receive the attention of the Brazilian govern ment. The director of the geological survey of the Brazilian government states that by process of washing metallurgical coke may he obtained from Brazilian coal, and that this is already being accomplished in the state of Santa Catharina.
 The secretary points out that the present lack of sufficient domestic coal of suitable quality should not interfere with the establishment of steel in- dustry, which could temporarily use wood, and that for more than 300 years Sweden was obliged to depend upon this kind of fuel. He also says that in tho Tynitod St0toS SOmo 400 0O0 tons Of pig iron are produced annually by the use of charcoal as a fuel.-Commerce Reports.

 Fayetteville, Ark, Sept. 3-War preparations OverWOrk industrytrial plants, bridges, and railroads. and prevent their repair. If the war lasts two years, America will begin to feel the strain.
 Hardly more than half the usual number of students are attending the engineering schools of the country, but it is to them that the nation must look for repair of it's war-overworked bridges, railroads, etc. Engineers can- not be imported, for virtually all the engineering schools abroad are clos ed down, and engineers have been killed by the hundreds. Instead of Americas relying on Europe for en- gineering help, Europe will rely on this country.
 The Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education went over the situation recently, and urges as the best remedy the pushing into 'engi- neering of every boy available. For at least ten years after the war. en- gineering will be one of the best paid professions. it says.
 A great many universities offer en- gineering courses to boys who have a high school education. The Uni versity of Arkansas offers four-year courses in electrical, mechanical. civil and mining engineering. Besides these courses, leading to bachelors de- gree, there are trade courses which may be completed in two years, for which certificates are granted. At least a common school education Is required for admission to these short courses. A special bulletin, giving a full description of these courses, will be sent upon request. Address.

OUR BOYS ARE PRESERVING AMERICAS TRADITIONS ON FOREIGN BATTLEFELDS
 AND IN TRENCHES.

Every day the newspapers tell of some enc or another of the Tanks having been awarded the cross of war for conspicuous bravery in ac- tion. Every day these same dis. patches carry the story of some intre- pid charge against the enemy trench es. the storming of some machine gun nest, the taking of another town of two in desperate hand to hand fighting. And our hearts swell with pride that it is so.
 Equally appreciative of their prov. ess are the allied leaders. You have shown yourselves to be worthy sons of your great country and have gained the admiration of your broth. CTS in arms" declared General Man gin the other [ y in an official or der thanking the Tanks for their part in the last great thrust against the Huns.
 General Mangin voiced the senti- ments of the entire membership of the allied general staff. For the Tanks have made good with a ven. geance.
 We are wholly justified in being proud of them. We can look tho whole world in the eye, knowing they rank with the finest. We can justly feel again that the traditions of American arms have been upheld; that in the eyes of the world Amer lea no longer stands accused of paci. tism at the cost of honor; of meek submission to the ruthless arrogance of any people drunk with power.
 Once more we may hold up our heads. square our shoulders, take a reef in our trousers and intimate to the world at large that it's a danger ous pastime to tread upon the tail of our coat.
 Thanks to t{Ae Rhaki-clad ranks.

 Make your tribute to their bravery substantial one.

To Be Pitched Only In the Morning.

To Be Pitched Only Tn the Morning ! Many years ago, when Connie Mack was the Milwaukee catcher and man. ager, the club opened the season with several sore-arm veteran epitchers There was one youngster with the club who did not complain of this trouble. 90 they sent him to the slab. Milwau- kee was beaten something like 16 to 4 The kid pitcher was downcast. 1.-The umpire didn't give me any the best of it," he said by way of an alibi.
 "No," replied Joe Cantillon, who had overheard the remark neither did the opposing batters give you any the best of it."
 The kid walked off in a huff. Con. nie Mack turned to Cantillon. "Ill say this for the boy" he said, "I've worked out with him every morning for the last two weeks. and he looked mighty good"
 Cantillon pulled schedule out of his pocket and glanced over 1t rapid ly. "The next morning game is on Decoration day. Connie," he remark. a. "Save the kid pitcher for then"

CARRY FOOD TO TRENCHES
French Employ Canine couriers to
 Take Supplies to the Men in - Most Exposed Positions.

Trench warfare certainly intereeres with the fighters meals. After cap turing the enemy's position in partic. ular, is the fighter at loss to know how he will get his regular rations !; for no sooner does the enemy find himself dispossessed of his original trenches than he opens up with an in- tense barrage fire designed to prevent ammunition and food from reaching the new occupants.
 The French army believes it has solved the problem of carrying food to men in isolated trenches, in its lunch dogs, says the Scientific American. Carrying light lunches and coffee, and even cartridges for the men in the first line trenches when the combat is hot md protracted these splendid trained dogs are more certain to get through barrages than men. Each dog Is equipped with a sort of double bag, strapped tight over it's body. and pro- vided with numerous pockets for food, coffee cans, ammunition and other sup. plies.
 It is at the military dog-trainlng grounds at Paris that dogs are pre- pared for this service. Not only are these four-legged couriers taught to avoid the enemy and beware of tricks, but also to crawl on their stomachs in order to escape flying bullets. Special masks are provided for these dogs xvhun thev must naSs through :a DOis- on gas area. -. !. ,..
