 According to the schedule Baer and Hoffman have mapped out the series of seven bouts could be held in plenty of time for the fifteen-rounder to be staged in September-if there is to be any fifteen -rounder, Baer adding:
 Will See Knockouts

They'll see the heavyweight champion appearing couple of times a month, instead of once every year, and they'll see knock outs. If that don't bring the game back, nothing will.'

'The stars incline
 Horoscope
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1s, 1885

According to astrology this is an uncertain date in planetary direc- ton, but a benefic aspect appears to domintee. There will be ten dency to wait for something to happen instead of starting activi- 1 ties oneself.
 There is a sign supposed to con- 1 fuse minds that are unusually very keen. Indecision m ay dominate. Business men will seek new paths in which to promote new industries.
 While this configuration pre- vails heads of government affairs in this country may expect severe and even unfair criticism. This is a direction of the stars under which mistakes are ghringly apparent to all who are affected by them.
 Redistribution of British fighting forces and closer cooperation of the mother country with her colonies is prognosticated. Canada a will go through extraordinary changes and will welcome many settlers from the United States, it is prophesied.
 ReactionaTy planetary influences will affect not only public but pri- yate affairs. Women are to benefit through concentration of their in terests on domestic activities.
 Charms will be cultivated by girls who are to learn that recent free- dom from 'old-fashioned traditions is not conducive to lasting happi- ness. Natural beauty will be sought as cosmetics are discarded.
 College students of both sexes nov should benefit through a di- rection of the stars inclining toward serious study. They will realize that the safest treasures are those stored in the mind.
 Explorations of the occult world again are prognosticated Strange discoveries will be reported but the seers warn against perils associated with psychic experiments.
 Persons whose birthdate it is nave the augury of a year of changes and readjustments. Pros pcrity is indicated for both men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be mentally alert and ex- tremely independent. They usually are loyal to friends or to principles that they accept.
 Key Pittmar, United States Sen- ator, was born on this day 1872. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include William Robert son, Scottish antiquary, 1721; Will liam B. Astor. son Of John Jacob I. 1792.

AIR TRAVEL FACILITIES.

Delegate Dmond in commenting on the first air base in Alaska under the new Wilcox bill points another request in connection with aerial develop ment in the North that is equally if not more important. It is the urged allotment of $29000O0 for commercial aireld work, including new airports improvements on the present fields, markings and other much needed development.
 Here is of the principal things that will not only make flying safer and more convenient m the Territory but it would be huge step toward deve- opng everything else in Alaska. Given airfelds In advantageous localities and mining would reap one of the greatest benefits Other industries would be developed and profit well if aerial transportation could be made safer through better facilities ana remote areas reached by establishing airports.
 The Rogers-Post and Hines planes disasters have left blot on the flying record in the North which could be erased in large degree by giving the Terri tory the proper aerial transportation facilities.

 There simply is nothing to it, man must slow town after he passes the 10O-year mark. He may ielude himself into believing that he can frisk iround as he did at 80 or 90 but the years take heir toll and eventually he has to admit that 5outh and even middle -age has passed.

 Solomon has gone along in his accustomed man.

Finally the injuries necessitated the brief hospital treatment. But Solomon knows that when ie was ninety nobody would have got him into hospital over mere fall And what bore must e this eaSygoing existence now!

 A crisis had been reached in the situation and all England was ab- Sorbed.
 Customs officers along the bor- ders of France were listening at tentively for the clink of metal when persons bound for Spain passed them. Every effort was being made to enforce the governments order against gold and silver being taken out of the country in viola ton of the order that a traveller leaving France must have no more than $10 in coin in his possession, being compelled to exchange any excesses of that sum for paper money.

Germany's Air Force.

On the eve of Sir John Simon's
newly planned visit to Berlin, now
fixed for March Is and 26, another
disturbing development in the Euro
pean situation threatens to thwart all
efforts to bring about that "appease-
ment" and "pacification" in which
Great Britain and France have lat
terly been taking the lead. Blunt ad-
mission by Gen. Goering and other
Nazi authorities that Germany, in vio-
lation of the prohibition of the Ver-
sailles treaty, has equipped herself
with a military air force, including
bombing squadrons, is the revelation
that crashes into current peace"
moves and seems likely to doom them
to futility.
Goering's disclosure has produced
two immediate and concrete results.
One is the intention of France to
sound Britain and Italy as to the ad-
visibility Of calling Germany to ac-
count for brazenly f1outing the Ver-
sailles military clauses. The other
repercussion is Radek's announce
ment at Moscow that if the Simon
negotiations in Berlin lead to any ma
terial armament concessions to the
Reich, the Soviet will increase its own
defensive measures" In addition to
seeking a three power protest against
Germany's air force, France contem-
Evening star., 1935-03-15

plates an extension Of the period of
compulsory service for her conscript
army as an answer to the augmented
menace from the other side Of the
Rhine.
That Germany has steadily been
making herself formidable by air is,
of course, no news to the general
stats of other European military
powers, least of all to the French.
The British have avowedly revamped
and expanded their own aviation pro-
gram because of the German air
threat. But for Gen. Goering and
official organs of the government
openly to proclaim that. in defiance
of Versailles, the Reich has equipped
itself with air armaments on an ex-
tensive scale gives the situation an
entirely new guise and one that the
allied nations are not minded to
accept without remonstrance. Protest
is about the only recourse to which
they are likely to resort. 1t is out OF
the question that they can force the
Germans to abolish or restrict their
air armaments, except to the extent
that such action is part and parcel
of a general disarmament agreement,
which the Reich will consider only on
the basis of equality" Goering is
reported to have blurted out the con-
fession that he heads, as general OF
flyers" Germany's officially acknowl-
edged air service as an answer to the
British white paper blaming European
tensity mainly on the Nazis' aggres-
sive military preparations.
Sir John Simon is famed for his
skill in pouring oil on troubled inter-
national waters. The astute lawyer
tourist from Downing street has his
work cut out for him in Berlin at the
end of the month, in light of the sud-
den new distrust the Germans have
diffused throughout Europe by cor
roborating what long has been sus-
pected-that from their standpoint the
treaty of Versailles is dead letter
and scrap Of paper.

"De Lawd. "

Richard Berry Harrison, Negro
actor who played the role of de
Lawd" In more than sixteen hundred
presentations of THE Green Pas
,tures," is dead. He was seventy years
of age, but had been Ill less than a
fortnight and intended to return to
his company as speedily as restored
health would permit Fate, however,
ruled that he should be disappointed
in his ambition to bring the number
of his appearances in the sacred
character to two thousand. and in
stead he launched out on the final
adventure yesterday morning.
Mr.. Harrison was born at London,
Ontario, the son of a runaway slave.
The stage attracted him in his early
youth and he studied dramatic art
in a school in Detroit in preparation
for the career of his choice. But fame
did not come to him until 1880, when
Marc Connelly's reverent comedy was
placed in rehearsal at the Broadway
Theater and he was afforded an op-
portunity to display his matured and
disciplined genius. Rowland Stebbins,
