League so that closer attention may
be given to the multitude Of details
that are bound to crop out in the
successful operation of such q
scheme.
To the Army the successful use Of
the plan means the upbuilding Of a
vast reserve of potential wartime
radio operators who will be care
fully trained in army methods and
routine. This training is expected to
simplify the transition from a civil
to military status in time of neces-
sity. OF secondary, but more i'm
mediate value is the independence It
will grant to the military communi-
cations system in times of national
stress, when ordinary land means Of
communication may be rendered in
operative. -
Members of the League who will
be actively identified with the mo-
ment feel that it means an extension
of those activities which are the
basis of the League itself. 1t will
give each member an opportunity to
carry on a large amount OF radio
traffic, his favorite indoor sport. The
training thus gained will help each
operator to realize his fondest am
tor.
1t is proposed by the Signal Corps
to grant certificate to each amateur
enrolling for the work officially de-
signaling such amateur as an army
amateur radio operator for two
years. Applications for appoint
ment as an army station arc to be
acted upon jointly by the Signal
Corps and the League members whose
duty it is to supervise work in a
given corps area. In this manner
neither the national headquarters of
the League nor the Army Head
quarters will be concerned with any
phase OF, the work that is purely
local.
When a station is designated. army
in that locality will instruct the
amateur operator in the methods Of
handling Army correspondence and
in the operation of routine codes.
Reports from subordinate units, now
rendered by mail. will also be sent
via amateur radio. Routine orders
and similar material will also find its
way into the radio grist dur
ing the preliminary training months
when the intricate nets are being
developed.
Enthusiastic endorsement Is given
the plan by officers in the signal
corps and by officers and members of
the American Radio Relay League
and it is confidently expected by
those officials concerned that the
plan will realize the fondest hopes
of its sponsors.

Canadian Road to
Operate Leased
Lines Boston & Maine

Boston, Nov. 16.-(AP)-The ex-
ecutive committees of the boards of
directors of the Boston & Maine
Railroad and the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, have approved an arrange
ment under which lines in and near
Canada which have been under lease
to the Boston g. Maine will be op-
Grated by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, it was announced today.
These lines, aggregating 104 miles,
extend from Beebe Junction, Que, to
Lennoxville, Que, from Reebe juno
ton to Stanstead, Que. and from
Wells River, VT, to Beebe Junction.
In negotiating, this arrangement. it
was announced, the management of
the Boston & Maine railroad was
prompted by the belief that these
lines because of their extreme north
erly location. could be operated to
better public advantage by the
Canadian road, with resulting econo-
mics to both roads.

Washington, Nov. 16.-(AP)-
Denied the privilege of leaving
Washington during his technical ar

William Mitchell tonight addressed
the country at large by radio in an
other lecture against army and navy

Tense. His strategy in this way over

down by the war department.
The officer, whose trial, on charges
growing out of published attacks on
the air service administration will
be resumed tomorrow, spoke from
station WCAP and told the listeners

would be much more intense than

JIMMY EVANS co.
wins new LkURELS
IN 1926 OFFERING

Bulwarked by a bevy of beauty
bellies, Jimmy Evans is back in town
and opened a weeks engagement at
the Opera House yesterday. Big
audiences, both afternoon and even

and as usual went away pleased and
satisfied that this seasons offering is
even better than last years excellent
company.
New shows, new scenery and some
new faces is Jimmy's boast this year
and in last nights offering these
were plainly manifest. The initial
musical revue parade provided an
excellent vehicle to bring out the
talents of not only Jimmy himself
but of other rfavorites OF last year
and some new ones who won favor
at once.
A new comedian in Jewish makeup
provided a fine foil for Jimmy and
their stuff is new. There are also a
pair of clever male clog and Jig
dancers and one man eccentric
dance artist.
The girls predominant. however.
There are Is of them and they are of
all styles of pulchritude, a most sat-
isfying ensemble of what might be
termed a double sextet and three.
home comlngS was the opening
skit and put the audience in imme-
date good humor. Then followed
clever singing and dancing numbers
supported by the well trained and
easy to look at chorus.
HarmoniZing with the new sdrops
and other stage settings were the
beautiful and novel costumes worn
by the pretty and petite misses, each
one of whom were unsparing IN
smiles and who manifestly do not
lack in pep or technique.
Jimmy in this years offering makes
it plain that he is ever building up
and aims to make this visit leave a
pleasant memory of the year to come.

German Boxers
Becoming Champs

Berlin. Oct. s1.-(AP)-When Ger
man boxers squared off against Brit
ish pugilists in 1920. they usually
were given good boxing lesson or a
beating. But now there is little to
choose between them. The German
mit-wielder compares favorably with
those of any other European country.
French and German fighters did not
become friendly enough to ener the
boxing ring until the end Of 1924. That
allowed for little comparison. Now
that the spirit of peace prevails, some
international bouts are expected.
Breftenstrater, Domgoergen and
Harry Stein, respectively light heavy
weight, middleweight and fyweight,
are the German boxers who have the
best chance to conquer he title of
champion of Europe in their class.
Breitenstrater holds in Germany the
position and enjoys the same populari-
ty as did Carpenter in France some
four years ago. The people here call
him "Hans" just as the French were
in the old days.
Domgoerton OF Cologne Is the best
Of the middleweights. He has met
and defeated in France both Pionnier
and Paumelle, who rank among the
best In that country. The Cologne
battler Is expected to take the title
away from Wiegert, the present hold
or, when they meet here in December.
Harry Stein. also of Cologne. would
give any Of the fyweights in Europe a
stiff argument. Both Doemboerten
and Stein learned their boxing with
the English professors in the Army
Of Occupation.
Among the heavies Samson Koer-
ner, Diener of Magdeburg-a twenty
year old youth-Dickman of Hanover,
Haymann Of Leipsig and Wagner OF
Dertmund need not fear to meet the
best In France and England.
In the light heavyweight class,
Koerner and Dockmann, who can make
the weight and be strong. Melting OF
Dresden and Smelling of Cologne,
form a quartet which would not be
out Of tune In any ring in Europe.
Kurt Prenzel. MiIenz, Domgoergen
and wfegert rank highest, among the
middleweights.
The welterweight class furnishes
the largest number of first class men.
Herse Of Hamburg, Funke of Berlin,
Grimm, also of Berlin, and NauJoeks
shape I'D as real fighters.
Ensel of Cologne is about the only
lishtweight of any account. rms
class is the poorest in the German
boxing field. Smith is the best OF the
feathers. while Friedman and Uoan
Grass shine among the bantams.
Two great organizations, one IN
Berlin and the other in Hamburg, DOM
mate the sport in Germany. The
"Sportpalast" here is unique in Eu-
rope for its magnihcance.
