Cri.I. for Naval R.,.rxe..

Omission from the naval appro-
priation bill of funds covering train
ing of the naval reserves is not
only a body blow to adequate pre-
paredness for the first line of defense,
but also an additional handicap for
the Regular Navy, now limited to
$4,000 men. Little hope exists that a
bill designed to make the reserve an
the Army precedent. will be passed
by Congress this session.
Students of preparedness advocate
for the Navy. a national appropriation
to cover the cost of training a naval
reserve such as that provided for the
the comparatively small sum = of
$1.0O0,0o0 a year will cover the cost
of training an adequate reserve force.
which under present conditions. it is
claimed. is low cost insurance for
a nation Of the size and wealth of
ours. Also there is the saving of
efficiency by enrolling a number of
veterans of the last war instead of
allowing their naval value to wane
and depreciate.
we would Immediately require for the
Navy alone approximately half mil
lion men.
Must we again in an emergency de-
pend upon the draft and its Gus
tomary quota of unframed men? The
future contests afford us time for
naval training, as was fortunately
the case in the late war Last year
there were 100000 men in the naval
reserve. Lack of funds has reduced
this number to 10000. With the ex-
ception Of this number, 5000 ex-serv-
ice men. who draw retainer pay, and
1000 officers and men in local and
state organizations. whose expenses
are borne either individually or by
the states. we are dependent upon the
recently reduced Regular Navy.
In other words, our present strength
Is about 10000 men, counting regu-
lars and reserves, to man a treaty
navy which the general board says
requires 10000 as a minimum for
peace-time requirements. In order to
save $1,000, 900 a year we lose not
only our reserve insurance, but also
the interest and loss of training
Of the very men we would require in
event Of threatened attack or forced
entry into war.

Bur,ked Again! wills Jackson
 Bout, FLiDer

Bridgeport fight fans who jour neyed to Ebbets Field last night to see the Wills-Tut bout were a lot of d1sgrunt1ed individuals on their re- turn to the Park City after the mid night hour today.
 4 right to the jaw sent Jackson to drea inland in the third round.
 Jackson demonstrated early in the first round that he was little more than a novice. He was in a condition of terror from the time he first got a glimpse of Wi1ls's huge form until he curled up bn the canvas, completely knocked out in ? minutes and sec onds of the third session.
 Wills dropped Jackson for a, count of eight in the first round and prob ably would have stopped him in that round but for campaign of stren- ucus clinching inaugurated by Jack son to avaid punishment and contin- ued up to the time he received the knockout punch.
 The terrific hitting powers of Jack son on which his managers dilated failed to materialize. As a matter of fact Jackson failed to land a single blow with any force behind it.

Local ringsters will make their way out to the arena this evening in the belief that Pete August and Young Luby are going to furnish bout or the hurricane brand. There's no doubt on that score. Whoever wins, whether the action is brief, ends with a knockout or travels the limit, it's a sure bet that the rival boxers will be pounding away at each other to the best of their ability.
 Counts on Haynlaker.
 Young Luby figures he will succeed in landing a haymaker somewhere on August before the battle reaches the halfway round. I'm going to get to his chin or aw this time sure" de- clared Luby yesterday afternoon.
 That's pretty bold talk and just as sure as the mon not made of green cheese Peter August will present a stiff line of argument to that style of dope. Peter is just as confident as Luby and many of the ring dopsters are voicing the opinion that the West End battler will be decisively dis posed of.
 Naturally, Jim Burns, manager of August, is thinking In that direction. August has more science; he can hit as hard as Luby and he has a superior head. He showed that in their last
