j. S. ARMY AUTOS
BIG PRICES
IN GREAT BRITAIN
MOTOR TRANSPORT WILL NOT
COST GOVERNMENT ANY
THING FOR MACHINE

LONDON, June 3O.-American
army motor transport in England
has not cost the United States gov
eminent anything for machines, ac-
cording to figures prepared at army
headquarters here. Astounding
prices have been paid here for ma
chimes the army has placed on auc-
ton, touring cars in scores of in
stances bringing more than the orig
inal cost even though they have seen
rather hard usage for months.
The army purchased a number of
cars of a light popular type for $3.50
each and these have sold for as high
is $1,000 after being used eight
months. Another machine the aver
age purchasing price for which was
$10S5 has brought as much as
$3.50 at the auction sales. The
prices bid for touring cars has been
absolutely amazing, Major J. c..
Weller, head of the motor transport
work in the quartermaster depart
ment here, told the Associated
Press, a great deal higher than We
would have dared ask on straight
sales.
Altogether the army had 592 tour
ing cars, truck, ambulances, motor
cycles and bicycles for its work of
transporting about 1000, 900 men
through England. Only a dozen of
these have been reserved to be used
in the final clearing out of head
quarters in London. Good prices
have been obtained for the trucks
and ambulances, exceptionally good
prices when compared with what sec
ond-hand motors bring in the United
States. but the greatest demand has
been for the touring cars, motor
cycles and bicycles.
England never did build such We
hicles in quantity and during the
war lone was built for private use.
Now the demand is so great that
actual values have been almost dis
carded entirely.
Some observers place this demand
in the same category with the in
satiable desire of women for the
finest of finery at unprecedented
prices which even then the shops
cannot supply, OF other luxurious de-
mands of people who would hardly
have thought of such things before

RIO De JANE|R0
LOOKS HOME-L|KE
TO U. s. VISITORS
FOSTERS IN ENGLISH ADVER.
TISE AMERICAN STARS OF
MOVIES

RIO DE JANEIRO, June S0.-A
North American arriving in Rio de
Janeiro and ~traversing the main
street of the city-Avenida Rio
Branco-can with little mental eff
fort imagine himself in New York,
Boston, San Francisco or almost any
city Of the United States, owing to
the extensive use Of American-made
moving picture films, which have
in the last three years become ex-
ceedingly popular, to the exclusion
of EurOpean-made films.
Moving picture theaters, or cine
photographs as they are known here,
line both sides of the avenida in the
section where 1t passes through the
heart of the downtown district.
Large posters with the names and
pictures of North American movie
stars are to be seen in almost every
direction. The Brizilians have their
favorites, know their respective
qualities and can, in fact, converse
as knowingly of the North American
moving picture world as can the en-
thusiasts of the United States.
In addition to the amusement they
afford, the American-made films are
accomplishing something of perhaps
more Importance. They are stimu-
lating many Brazilians to a desire
to learn the English language.
Although the captions and written
explanations on each film are almost
completely translated into Portu-
guese, this cannot be done so easily
and economically with the large pos
ters and therefore the prospective
patron is often confronted with the
necessity of reading the English if
he wants to know something about
the picture before purchasing his
ticket.
This and the fact that occasionally
in the captions English expressions
are not translated has resulted in
Braz.lians learning just enough Eng
lish to create a desire for more.
Added to this is the apparent ex-
tension of North American and Eng
lish commercial interests in Brazil.
Foreign language schools attribute
to these causes the constantly in
craasing number Of English Ian
guage students.

KOREANS PLAN FURTHER
ANTI-JAP OUTBREAKS

TOXIC, June 2S.-A V~ladivostok
dispatch received in Toxic says the
Koreans there and in other districts
of Siberia are secretly planning fur
Their demonstrations. against Japan.
The anti-Japanese Koreans are en-
couraged by the fact that among
various sections of the Japanese, in
GLIDING some newspapers, an adj
verse criticism is directed against
Japan's administration. The Ko-
reans, says the dispatch, are under
the impression that even If they fail
to convert Korea into an i%ndepend-
ent state, they will ultimately be
successful in causing Japan to alter
her military administration SO as
to increase the happiness of the Ko-
Ireans.

TOLEDO, O., June 2S.-Thrust-
ing it's raw, yellow skeleton sky
ward. the huge howl-shaped arena.
costing $4,000, and originally
planned to seal $4,000 persons, is
rapidly nearing completion for the
heavyweight championship contest
between Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey here July 4.
The arena is located in Bay View
park. a municipality owned plot OF
ground co acres in extent n di-
rectly north four miles from the
heart of the city. Before being
turned over to Tex Richard, pro-
moter of the championship contest,
the park had been used as a recrea-
ton center and the arena rests on
the site of two baseball diamonds.
On the north side of the park is
Maumee Bay and to the east is Maui
NEE river. Encircling the plot is a
road of crushed stone. The park is
of artificial construction, most of it
being filled in land, but it is ideally
situated i'm every respect. 1t is per-
fectly flat and treeless making the
work OF the engineers constructing
the aren't easier than it otherwise
would have been.
Some idea of the immensely of
the arena may be obtained from the
fact that it is four times as large as
the arena in which Jack Johnson
battered Jim Jeffries to defeat in
Reno, Nevada. and capable of seat
ing four times as many persons. APP
proximately 1,750,000 feet of lum-
her has been used in the structure.
Not a bolt has been used, the entire
building being held together by nails
of which two carloads or $4,000
pounds have been driven. All new
lumber has entered into the con-
struction and this will be sold after
the contest.
Precautions for safety hav been
taken i'm the construction. Careful
tests were made of the ground to
find out whether it could carry the
great human weight which would
rest upon it. The carrying capacity
of the lumber and the tensile
strength of the nails were determ-
med and a margin allowed for
safety.
Although the structure was orig
inally planned for $4,000 persons, a
load of $4,000 persons was taken
as the basis of the estimate and, in
stead of allowing 175 pounds per
person. as is done in ordinary con-

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TO
OPEN LAND FOR PEOPLE

MEXICO CITY, June 28.-The
government is preparing to distrib-
ute among the people approximately
800, 900 hectares (of 2h acres) of
land valued at 100000 pesos
which represents concessions given
to a comparatively few individuals
by several governments precious to
the Carranza regime. All these con-
cessions have been cancelled by the
present government. The persons to
whom the land will be given must
agree to cultivate the property. A
commission of federal engineers is
visiting several states to recommend
methods of development.

the rush and crush is expected to
occur near noon.
Another method of getting to Bay
View park. which Is more novel than
practical, is a fleet of small boats
which will ply between the down
town section and the park. The
stadium is within a few hundred feet
of the Maumee river and Maumee
Bay and these boats could be made

vided enough of them operate. The

TRANSPORTATION
OF FIGHT CROWD
IS BIG PROBLEM
SIXTY THOUSAND TO BE MOVED
-FOUR MILES TO
ARENA

Toledo. o., June 30.-To carry
6O,O0O impatient fight fans from
the heart of Toledo to Tex Richards
-$15O,0OO arena four miles away In
five hours is the problem which faces
traction officials and taxicab com
panies when Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey meet in their championship
contest here July 4. To solve 1t,
everything on wheels will be pressed
into service.
The chief medium of transporta-
ton to Bay View Park, the site of
the arena, will be street cars. For
tunately the city has a double track
from the heart of the city to the
Park, and, by running cars out on
one track and returning on the
other, can 20 approximately 49,
900 persons an hour. To accom-
plish this, it will be necessary to tap
other city lines for additional equip
ment. Officials of the Toledo Rail
& Light company, the traction oper-
ating system, plan to operate 12O
cars an hour-one every half minute
to the arena, which is at the end
of Summit street, n of the main
thoroughfares of the city.
Automobiles of various sorts will
give street cars a close race in NOV
ing the crowds. In addition to the
regular taxicab service every auto
mobile truck will go into service for
the day, and hundreds of solid citi-
zens will hang a "for rent sign on
the family a r
Prices for the trips to and from
the arena have not been established
but it is assured there will be no
seats in automobiles bringing less
than one dollar for the one way ride
Those coming to the contest in
special trains will be within walk
ing distance of their seats. Railroad
-
officials have arranged to parl
hundreds of sleeping cars in the
switch yards along the Maumee rive!
only a few minutes walk from Bay
View park. This will relieve the
transportation problem by several
thousands.
"a.
The gates of the huge arena will
be thrown open at 9 O'Clock on the
morning of the contest. but Willard
and Dempsey will not climb into the
ring until 3 o'clock that afternoon.
1t is safe to say that approximately
half the crowd will be seated early
as the first preliminaries will be
started at 10 O'Clock and the more
eager of the fans will demand to be
in the monster wooden structure to
see the first gloves fly.
Toledo itself doubtless will send
from 10000 to 10000 citizens to
the arena, and, il the day is not too
hot. these will cover the distance on
foot. provided they haven o auto
mobiles. In the light of past ex-
|periences, it is probable that the
crowds, will start to assemble out
side the four grand entrances to the
arena In the cool of the morning but
