HOPE ID IDENTIFY
 AMERICAN VICTIMS
1,200 DoughboyS Lie in Un- marked Graves in France

Paris, Nov. Is. UP)-Twelve hundred American doughboys still lie in unmarked graves scattered across the cold hills of France from the Channel to the Vosges. Identi- fication parties are still searching these lost graves and hardly a week passes without one or more bodies being found.
 Of the 130,265 mon in the armed forces of the7 United States who died during the World War. 3O.794 are now buried in the American military cemeteries abroad. Twenty seven bodies, found in lost graves during the summer by searching parties, have been transferred to the war cemeteries for burial in the alignment of white crosses.
 In the eight war cemeteries, the number Of American soldier dead buried today follows:
 Meuse-Argonne. Romagne .. 14,1S1 Oise-Aisne, Seringes ... 6,010 St. Mihiel, Thiaucourt .... 4,151 Aisne- Marne, Belleau ....., 2,270 Somme, Bony .......... 1929 Sureanes, Baris ......... r1,534 BrookWood. England .... 453 Flanders Field. Belgium -. 366
 Every Grave Marked
 Every grave is marked now with a permanent marker, either a cross or star of David in white Carrara marble. The graves of unidentified soldiers, numbering about one half of one per cent of the total burials, are marked with stones bearing the inscriptions: Here lies in hon. ored glory an American soldier known but to God"
 The work of finding lost graves is growing more difficult with time.
 In the first few years after the war bodies were found in woods or turned up by blows of farmers as they reclaimed the battlefields for their crops.
 Searching parties continue their work, however, except during the harvest season. These workers possess complete charts which en- able them to identify bodies even though they have been buried for more than eleven years.

EXPECT ARRECON
WILL DRAW MANY
TO FIGHT ARENA

Boxing fans are expected to be
out in large numbers at the I'm
perial Valley Athletic Club Friday
night, when frankie Arregon, the
best drawing card of them all, mixes
it with Battling Sikh in the 10
round main event.
frankie is easily the most popu-
lar boxer to perform at the arena.
There is a very small minority of
fans. who can not see him at all,
claiming that ''set-ups' are
brought in for frankie, but these
folks would probably consider the
Grant-Lee battle faxed, OF claim
that Iindbergh had a secret partner
concealed in the Spirit of 81. Louis.
Arregon has been willing TO meet
them all, whether they were well
known boys from the coast sent
down here to shellack him, or some
unknown who might have been more
dangerous than boy with a repu-
tatioh,
Battling Sikh may take the deci-
sion Friday night, but if he does
he will know that he has been in a
battle, for frankie always gives
the fans a run for their money.
Anyone trying to trip US 0p on the
scrap with Amador is advised that
frankie fought heady fight that
night, the only kind he icould af-
ford to fight with boyi who out
weighed him by 10 pounds, and
possessing reputation as ia slugger.
Bobby Pacho is fast redching the
same degree of popularity as Are
gon. The fight public loves win
ner and Pacho is 100 per cent in
this respect, not having lost fight
in 90 starts. He meets good boy
in Rib Frazier Friday night. Frazier
is one of these birds who can hit
like fury, and advance notices claim
he is no slouch as boxer.
While on the subject of popu-
larity, Andy Armstrong is always
adding to his friends, the colored
boy being dead game and willing
worker. He made such dud out
of Battling Dozier two weeks ago
. that the latter demanded rematch
to show that Andy's victory was a
fluke. Unless Dozier has figured
out better defense for Andy 5
long left, the decision will likely
be the same.
Pete Casus lost caste in his last
battle when Lorenzo Reyes defeat
ed him, and gets his chance to re-
deem himself in the opener Friday
night. Reyes is out to make it two
in a row, and the fans should see
lots of action.

but will attempt to straighten out
lis trouble with the New York State

heavyweight was willing to meet
Phil Scott under the promotion of
Humbert j. Fugazy, but wanted two
q .neessions-the reinstatement of
Jacobs and Billy Mccartney as
licensed managers and guarantee,
Sehmeling, Jacobs and McCarney
and all the fighters managed by the
latter two have had their license
revoked in this state as result of
the controversy growing out of the

Jacobs said that he had under
consideration offers for Sckmeling

FARES
APPROVAL
SOUGHT

Officials of the Capital
Traction Company are at work
on some application for an In
creased fare which might meet
with the approval of the
present Public Utilities COM
mission. it was indicated in
authoritative quarters today.
While it was expected that the ap.
plication would be made last week
it is understood that the attitude OF
the new commissioners Is one that
would make an attempt for straight
IO-cent fare more or less futile.
John w. Childress, former chair
man of the commission. was favor
ABLY inclined to a 10-cent cash fare
and three tokens for quarter with
certain proyisos whereby the service
on the traction lines would be bet
tered.
RevaIuatiOn First
Under the plan Childress favored
no question of revaluation would
have been considered.
Harleigh H. Hartman. vice chair
man of the commission has indi-
Gated that any application for an In
crease will be studied carefully with
the view to revaluation before any
definite action is taken.
The question of where the two
companies can cut operating ex-
penses and at the same time MAIN
tain service. whether it be in rerout'
ing or cutting down the slack hour
service is one that will be studied
first of all.
John II. Hanna. president of the
CAPITAL Traction Company said to-
day the company is considering an
application to the commission, but
set no time as to when it will be
filed. He did, however, indicate
that not many more lays will pass
before the company win seek fiHan-
ciaI relief in the matter of increased
revenue.
One.Man Car Plan
Certain commission experts who
have studied the street railway
situation here are favorably inclined
TO an increase to three tokens for
a quarter and a flat 10-cent cash
fare. An intercomrany transie:
good anywhere in the city and re-
routing cars on all lines with
view TO cutting down the actual
number of car miles Travelled would
be considered with any application
for increase.
If it was found tkat the COM
panies, by certain economies in the
matter of routing, We're still in bad
shape financially, adoption of one
man cars all over the city would
be advocated by this commission
expert.
