ARMY ESTIMATE OF
 INTEREST TO ALASKA,
 SAYS MAJOR LAMBERT

FORT VIM. II. SEWARD, Alaska, Jan. 15, 1921-To the Editor-The following concerning the estimates of the War Department to Congress should be of interest to all Alaskans. believe it will be interesting to your subscribers to note the amount of money which has been requested for use other than the military training of the regular Army.
 For the past year and half the Army has been offering vocational training and educational work It is intended that the men in service shall be given training along voca- tional and educational lines that will make them better citizens when they rytufn to civil life This will add to the economic welfare of our nation. For this purpose the War Department has asked for the sum Of $6,803, 100000. Of this amount $240, 100000 has been asked for the moral training of the men. The balance is to be used in recreation and vocational and educational training. The United States Army is probably the only army in the world which places such stress upon moral training and educational and vocational work
 Another item in the army esti- mates that has a direct bearing on the growth and development of this Territory is the amount asked for development of Alaskan roads, the Military Cable and inland water ways. Ten million dollars has been asked for the further development of inland water way routes and the opening of new channels of trans Nine hundred and fifty five thousand dollars has been aske fer the development of Alaskan roads and trails and $212,434 for the maintenance of the Military Cable system
 Very truly yours

AMATEUR BOXING
 HOLDING B CARDS. THROUGHOUT ]. g..
National Championship Meet In Every Class Likely to
 Be Held This Year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-AmonS the
 many sports under the jurisdiction
 of the Amateur Athletic Union, which have received the benefit of revived
 interest and popular support since the overseas soldiers and Olympic champions returned to the United
 States. none seem to have been given
 a greater impetus than boxing. From every division throughout the coun- try reports are being received daily at Amateur Athletic headquarters here. giving unqualified assurance of the popularity of boxing in all sections Arrangements for touuna- ments with the prospect of bringing
 about a series of interstate and inter- sectional glove contests. arc now be- ing perfected in the hope that ha fore the end of this year national
 championship meeting of the best
 men available in every class. from
 heavyweights to the bantams. may be brought to a successful issue. Renewed interets ill this branch
 Of athletics is not confined to na
 tiOnal contests alone. The recent arrival of English borers, represent ing the British Army and Navy and
 the London Police Force, to compcte with amateur glove wieders reprN- senting the United States Army anl Navy and the New York Police Do partment. marks the beginning of a movement which promises to develop
 annual or semi-annual international countries will supply competitors in the near future.
 No better indication of the firm hold which amateur boxing bouts have on the followers of the sport could be given than the unusually
 large attendance which the New Yor! State championship bouts attracted
 to Madison Square Garden here th's month. The tournament at first waG to be two night affair but so many entries were received that the Of ficials were compelled 10 extend the
 time and three nights were, required
 in order to complete the program or
 E bouts From an attendance stand point the tournament was wonder
 fully well patronized, in fact no such crowds have gathered here for similar events in the last quarter of a century. The number of spec tatCrs each night greatly exceeded the number al the generous gather ings which witnessed the amateur boxing when the sport enjoyed ito halcyon days many years ago at the Metropolitan Opera House and the big Brooklyn Skating Rink.
 A more pretentious program is now being prepared by the Metropolitan Amateur Athletic Union officials for an intercity tournament between box CTS representing clubs in Eastern and Middle Western cities. Madison Square Garden has been secured for February g and 24 for these bouts and it is hoped that the added al traction of competitors from Cleve- land, Pittsburgh. Philadelphia, Boston and other cities will draw capacity crowds to the big arena.
