Maj. David Shanks Guest
Of Honor AT Reserve
Officers Meeting

Plans for the conversion of Roberts
field into national guard center with
out an equal in the south were out
lined Friday night by Maj. w. M. v
Robertson, Jr., in talk before the of.
ficers of the reserve association at
their regular monthly meeting. Prepa.
redness and the coming summer train.
ing camps constituted the theme of an
interesting talk by Mai. Gen. David c.
Shanks, as guest of honor.
Before more than 100 reserve officers
Major Robertson outlined plans for the
developmnt of the flying field into a
model military reservation. The tract
now under lease by the 106th obser-
walton squadron at Roberts field COM
prises 205 acres Of land that with work
can be developed into one of the. best
landing fields in the south.
Improve Grounds
Under proposed plans. the grounds
are to be improved. additional buildings
erected and sufficient accommodations
provided for the care of the headquar-
tiers troop, 10Th cavalry division, Capt.
John G. Carter commanding When
quartered there, the cavalry troop will
afford ample protection, for the field

Major Robertson also discussed the
"A and 25. II addition to the personnel
of the 106th observation squadron,
planes have already been assigned from
the flying field at Montgomery, PEN
sacola naval base, Nashville national
guard squadron and before the prorams
are ready, it is expected that a detail
of flyers win be named from McCook
field. The circus will be the biggest
of its kind ever staged at Birming-
ham and will attract visitors from over
the entire state.
Discusses Camps
General Shanks made talk on the
summer camps that are to open during
the coming month at the three train
ing ceiiters in the corps area He first
paid compliment to the reserve of
ficers for the splendid work being done
by them. THE country" he said, loves
a debt Of gratitude to the civilian who
gives his time to military preparedness.
Lack of preparedness is sure way to
bring on war" This, he said, is the
reason that we are still paying for
being drawn into the world conflict.
General Shanks stated that so far
this year the Fourth corps area, COM
prised of eight southern states, had en-
rolled more students for the coming
camp than ony other corps area in the
United States. Another feature in this
area was, he stated, is that of the entire
number who attended last year, ap-
proximately so per cent had already
filed applications for this summer.
On account of heavy static in the
atmosphere it was impossible for the
radio to pick up the addresses of Maj
General Hartford and Brigadier General
Dalefield. The moving picture story of
the sinking of the German battleship,
Ostfriesland, was am interesting feai-
ture of the program. Announcement was
made that the regular June meeting
of the association would be held on the
evening of May %, instead of the first
Thursday in June as formerly sched-
uled. This meeting will be the last
until after the close Of the summer
training. camps.

written FOR international News
geryleel

PARIS. July 22.-WhiIe competi-
ton was keener than ever before,
in the Olympic boxing, wherein the
United States boxers won the crown,
the decisions were at times bewild.
ering, almost disheartening. Our
Eaarest rivals, Great Britain and
Argentine, suffered with us.
Argentine lost several verdicts
after her men apparently had won
all the way, yet they finished third
in the official scoring, with six
points, although they brought a
team Of only eleven men, while we
and the British each had entered
twenty-four men in the eight
classes.
The victories Of these three teams
Is attributable to the physical con.
dition OF the competitors and their
loyalty to their country, with their
never-say.die spirit.
The Argentinians were in such
splendid physical and mental trim
that as individuals they finished
stronger than their rivals in prac.
tically every bout. Such condition
and capable handling Of the MEN at
the ring side speaks volumes Of
praise for the Argentine coach,
manager and officials. The United
States and British boxers must be.
ware lest Argentine, Chile or Uru.
quay capture the laurels In the
next Olympic.
When we consider that boxing is
in vogue only five years in these
countries, it Is apparent that South
Americans will be real contendera
in the future.
The Areentinians looked better in
the tournament than the point score
indicates. II consider Copello a
better man than Nielsen, the Dane,
who won the decision from him
Copello Is speedy, clever, and appar.
emily a heavy puncher, In short,
he is pocket edition Of Stanley
Ketchel. Mendez not only is a
great fighter, but to my mind is
to. the present champion,
De Large. He also is inspiring as
a team captain, because he fought
throughout the tournament with a
very bad hand.
