SITES CONSIDERED
FOR COUNTRY CLUB
Options Obtained by Army,
Navy and Marine Corps
Groups.

Options have been obtained on sew
cral tracts of land within a radius of
less than 3 miles of the White
! House for the proposed Army. Navy
and Marine Corps Country Club, for
which preliminary plans have been
started by committee of officers in
charge. it was announced last night.
Those behind the movement are
going over the situation here, with
view to final crystallization of senti-
ment among the officers of these
services as to the possibilities of
such a Cub. and it was reported that
interest among officers stationed in
Washington is at high pitch"
The lack of a country club it
was said, where officers stationed
here can become members at a mod
crate cost, and without the necessity
of a long delay on the waiting list, is
very generally felt, and the excep-
tional opportunity afforded by the
closeness to the center of the city
of the projected sites and the cheap
ness of the land contemplated for the
purchase, has aroused high hopes
Site Near Arlington.
The committee of officers reports
that the site most favored is located
in the rolling hills of the Virginia
side of the Potomac. in the neighbor-
hood of Arlington. The land there
consists of 224 acres of rolling
meadow. A rough survey. it was
said, has indicated that it will be
possible to lay out two golf courses,
a dozen tennis courts, and have ample
ground surrounding the clubhouse
for swimming pool and other fea-
lures, Is may be found desirable.
A prospectus has been prepared.
The plan of organization tentatively
advanced by the committee is that
limited number of active members be
procured by personal solicitation from
among the officers of the service sta
toned in Washington and that these
form the basis of the organization.
OF the necessary number about half
have already sent their names to the
committee. Committees will be
formed in each department of the
Army and Marine Corps, and in each
bureau of the Navy for the purpose
of bringing the project to the atten-
tion of each officer stationed here.
When the necessary number of
original active members are secured
the committee plans to throw open
the lists for life members. Member
ship will be limited to 1000 life MEM
bers, only 10 per cent of whom may
be residents of Washington, together
with 1000 active members. Dues for
active members will be 500 initiation
and $50 per year, while the fee for
life members will be $1,000.
1t is estimated that according to
it's plans, the club VIII be able to
accommodate 1,500 playing members,
in view of the experience of other
clubs in this vicinity, and by a close
limitation of membership as outlined,
the maximum number likely to desire
the use of the club at any one time
will be in the neighborhodo of 1,100.

Washington Faculty
 Bars College Mills

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, Dec. 31.-The sagacious fac ulty athletic committee of the Univer- sity of Washington got together in it's semi-monthly meeting this week and burst one of the most beautiful ath- letic bubbles that ever promised to material, to-wit, intercollegiate box ing for Washington.
 Washington officials had scheduled bouts with the University of Cali fornia, University of British Calum- bia, Washington State College and had a tentative arrangement with Oregon Agricultural College.
 For three years now Doc Bohler of w. s. c. has been approached annually for meet with Washington but every time the worthy State coach was un- able to make the necessary arrange ments This year before Meisnest could petition the Doc for a meet Bohler challened the University of Washington and it now devolves upon our MT. Meisnest to back out as grace fully as possible.
 There is one possible way of over riding the decision of the committee by getting the general faculty at it's meeting to pass resolution favoring intercollegiate boxing. The chances of their so doing are very slim indeed for if the most athletically interested members of the Athletic committee will not sanction the ring sport inter- collegiate there is not much reason to expect the conservative element to go down the line for pugilism.
 The committee gave as it's reason for refusing to sanction these inter- school matches the bad publicity the sporting editors of the papers are prone to give the ring sport. Soon CT or later the question of profession alism will creep in," they said.

Weeks Declares Morale
 of Troops Threatened

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (AP)- With sub-zero weather just around the corner, 10000 United States sol diers are living under canvas or with in flimsy wooden walls with no better shelter in sight.
 This was the bleak picture of army life revealed by Secretary of War Weeks in his annual report to the President, requesting immediate ini- |tiation of an adequate army housing program.
 One army post, characterized as typical of several others was describ- ed as lacking in bath and toilet fa- cilities. "Such a condition is hardly conceivable and is certain not condu- cive to sanitation or morals" Others were described in these terms.
 During northers rain and snow beat in around the window casing and be- tween the cracks in the lumber where it has shrunk.
 Many of the officers quarters have very small rooms with low ceilings and have no gas installation.
 Men at Camp Nicholas only recently removed from under canvas and are living in converted shacks. A short sighted policy of neglect has been followed in the maintenance of all of flee buildings until now $15,OOO,OO is needed to repair some of the past damage, the secretary estimated.
 These buildings installations have been calculated to have a value of nearly 400 million dollars and the money expended in their upkeep to- tals about 10 million dollars, or about 25 per cent of their value. Sound commercial practice would require an annual expenditure for upkeep of

During the years which followed the close of the late international cannon makers pic nic until 1923, the exports of mate rial of war from one European coun. rty into another, not including war. ships, airplanes or similar equip ment has overstepped the alrming total of $250,O00,0O0 And the world has been almost pacific during this time.
 The traffic commission of the League of Nations, which has rum maged out these figures, has set about to cut the dividends of the martial manufacturers by introduc- ing a convention, which has been distributed to all nations, for the establishment of an international cotrol of arms. The British gov ernment is understood to be fully in accord with the project and it's delegate to the next meeting of the commission to be held at Geneva next May will be instructed to sup port the document
 s The new convention, drawn up at the meeting of the commission early this year, is substitute for the one adopted in September, 1919, which was not accepted by the United States.
 The United States has already indicated its willingness to subscribe to such a convention, and severai other favorable rerlies have been received by the League.
