Schmeling was greeted aboard the North German Lloyd liner Europa at quarantine last night by de- tachment of boxing writers who loaded a revenue cutter nearly to her gunwhales.
 He had lot of things to say. Most of them were pleasant. Some were edited by his manager, Joe Jacobs. Joe talks English more f1uently than the German Max and understands the angles better than Max does.
 Der Max Pleased.
 Schmeling is scheduled to defend his title against William Lawrence ("The Clutch") Stribling, in June and probably in Chicago. He said he was pleased that this bout had been arranged.
 T had just as soon meet Jack Sharkey as Stribling," Max said The match was made by Jacobs He's my manager. He arranges the bouts and I do the fighting. No. I'm not the least bid afraid of Sharkey. I really think Sharkey and Stribling should have met in an elimination bout, with me meeting the winner, but I'm just as well pleased as it is.'
 Schmeling took time out here to explain how very much confidence he had in Jacobs. He said that after his contract lasting two and one-half years expired recently he renewed the contract for five more years.
 ''All for JacObs.'' HYnn See' .JacnhS said hV way of interlude, there are three of us in this. We have q motto. It's All for one, and''
 And that one is Joe Jacobs,' d boxing writer suggested.
 Anyway" Max went on, "I feel great. I have lots more confidence in myself than I did last year.
 Schmeling did look fully fit. He appeared more healthy than he did when he came over last year to meet and beat Jack Sharkey for the title. He said he had been doing lot of road work, playing some golf and sparring thrice weekly. He said ha weighed 192 pounds, just three pounds more than when he met Sharkey.
 Asked about the low blow struck by Sharkey which gave the title to Schneling. Max said he felt the ef- fects of that blow from June until November. He said he was anxious to start on his tour of the United States which will begin on February and continue through April IT, After that he will begin to prepare for his title defense.
 Winner VS Camera.
 The winner of the Schm cling Stribling bout is committed to meet Primo Camera, large Italian heavy weight. Of him Max said: II think he Is a good fighter
 Schmeling was accompa anied by his trainer Max Machon. He brought along a small dauschund, "Cilly.'

URGES CATHEDRAL.
WORK Be PUSHED
Bishop Freeman Hopes Serv-
ices May Be Held on Main
Floor in 1882.

That work on Washington Cathedral
will be advanced so that regular serv-
ices might be held on the main floor
in the choir during 1882 was the hope
expressed by Right Rev. James E. Free
man, Bishop of Washington, at meet
ing yesterday afternoon of the Wash
ington Committee of the Cathedral. The
meeting was held at the home of Mrs.
Hennen Jennings.
Bishop Freeman declared in times of
national crisis a revival of religious feel
ing is necessary. For this reason, he
said, the call to complete Washington
Cathedral to this extent as soon as pos
sible was more imperative than any
other enterprise now under way in the
Capital.
He was seconded by Right Rev. Philip
Rhinelander, warden of the College of
Preachers Cf the Cathedral, who de-
clared that the cathedral was not
monument, but spiritual power house
and that there was need of such high
spirited utterances in these grave days
from the cathedral pulpit. The warden
also pointed out the need of additional
facilities for services in connection with
the Bicentennial of George Washington
when many patriotic organizations are
planning to hold special services.
The Very Rev. G. c. F.. Bratenahl.
dian OF Washington, reviewed the
progress in construction, and told of
what is planned along these lines
within the months to come.
He reported that the North Transept
Will be completed in the coming year
and that through an anonymous gift
of 100000 it had been possible to begin
work on the South Transept.
Due to the absence of Mrs. William
c. R1Ves, chairman of the Washington
Committee, Dean Bratenahl presided.
At the conclusion of the final address
by Edwin N. Lewis, editor of the
Cathedral Age, a resolution was passed
IN which the committee felicitated
Bishop Freeman and his associates for
Keeping the Cathedral program moving
forward The committee accepted a
minimum of $4,000 to be raised in
washington towards a total of $15O,OOO
Tor the general maintenance fund of
