upon to decide in the near future.
Similar stations have for some years
been operated by England, France,
Holland and Belgium with the
avowed purpose of binding the mother
land more closely to its colonies and
dominions. Such stations in more
recent years have been established by
the dictator countries, such as Ger
many, Italy and Russia, to carry their
messages to the far corners OF the
earth. More such stations have been
projected of late by countries like
Japan, Australia, Denmark, Portu-
gal and even Egypt for the ostensible
purpose of reaching their nationals
in other countries, although the Egyp-
tian government Is reported to be
planning one in order to broadcast
Mohammedan religious services for
the benefit of Moslems residing in
the United States.
Almost without exception one of the
primary purposes stated for the pro-
posed erection of Short-wave stations
abroad is to reach the Americas-to

BATTLE FL EE1
STEAMS FOR
HAWAII
By RALPH B. JORDAN

ABOARD U. S. s. PENNSYL-
WANNA, WITH U. S. FLEET, April
10 G.N.SO. Americas mighty
first line of defense-the fleet
rode the Pacific today, chopping
along through the white-crested
swells toward the Hawaiian Is
lands on the 1887 war games"
From the bridge of the battle
ship Pennsylvania, flagship Of
Admiral A. j. Hepburn, COM
mander-in-chief, the parade Of 139
fighting craft carrying $4,000 Off
GERS and men made an impressive
sight.
It was the mightiest armada
ever to fly the stars and Stripes,
and looked it-every ship trim and
clean; the thousands of bluejack-
cts at their guns; planes poised
for quick takeoffs; marines ready
at their posts.
Double Problem
The fleets annual problem, de-
signed this year to test the all
important H waiia n defenses,
opened at dawn today when the
ships pushed out of Los Angeles
and San Diego harbors simulta-
neously.
It will close May % when the
big parade steams through the
Golden Gate.
Between those two dates are
weeks of the most intensive mimic
warfare over millions of square
miles of the north Pacific. 1t will
be different fleet at the Golden
Gate; harder men and harder
ships, and wiser officers.
The various phases of the prob.
lem will test to the limit each unit
of the forces, and will show what
would happen at the islands should
a hostile flag appear over the west
ern horizon.
There are two great objectives-
an attack by the ships on the shore
defenses of the Island of Oahu
and a general engagement a week
or so later far at sea between the
BLACK" and white" fleets, which
will be of equal strength-the fleet
divided into two forces.
Test for Army
Admiral Hepburn will deploy the
entire fleet against the island, on
which Honolulu is located and
which shelters Pearl Harbor
Americas greatest naval base. The
Army, now making it's prepare
tions, will defend.
The attack on the island Is to
exercise the Army defenses pri
marily, although the fleet will gain
some experience in this type Of
maneuver.

REDSKINS WIN WORLD TITLE
Stresses
Defense
BY HARRY COSTELLO

CHICAGO, Dec. 1l.-Defense,
defense, defense-it's nothing but
defense for the big bad Bears of
Chicago as they prepare for the
world championship football game
against Washington's own Red
skins, in Wrigley Field, Sunday.
Yesterday again-as had done
on Thursday-I checked the big
bad Bears as they practiced, while
Kirk Miller, sports editor Of The
Washington Times, checked the
Redskins.
Whereas the Redskins worked
out-of-doors, the big bad Bears
worked indoors,
CONTINUE DEFENSE
Whereas the Redskins worked on
attack, the big bad Bears worked
on defense, again.
Yesterday, in the Broadway
Armory, Owner Coach George Ha-
las, Of the big bad Bears, put his
varsity" on defense in dummy
scrimmage, on the hard floor Of
the armory, while the Scrubs"
with Redskin plays, were on at
tack.
In yesterdays Times I told you
all about Coach Halas' BIB de-
fense-a defense designed to stop
Cliff Battles and Sammy Baugh,
Cliff from running and Sammy
from passing. Today I'm telling
you about the B-R defense of the
Bears.
S.5 FAVORITES
BY B-R, I do not mean bank
roll, incidentally, many B.R.'s
have been unlimbered here in Chi
cago, by the professional gamblers.
the reason being that the Redskins
are 3-to-2 choices in New York,
while the Bears are 8-to-5 choices
here In Chicago. That's pie for
the professional gamblers, who are
Shoveling it in because they can
not lose. However, someone must
be losing, but I'll let you figure
that out, since my job is to report
on the B. defense Of the big bad
Bears.
The B-R defense is the defense
against Cliff Battles running a re-
verse to the weak side, hence the
name B-R. which is Battles-re-
verse, in case you do not know
by now.
According to the scouts of the
Big Bad Bears, Battles favorite
play Is a reverse to the weak
side. You will remember that
Cliff did run one reverse to the
weak side this year. That one
last Sunday, against stout Steve
ovens New York Giants.
WEAK-sDE REVERSE
The B-R to the weak side went
for rs yards. Cliff, you will re.
call, ran from Washington's 20
to New York's 5-yard stripe on
that play. However, il my chart
is correct, that was the only B-R
IN the game against the Giants.
My chart is correct, that was the
only B-R in the game against the
Giants. My chart is correct, and
you can lay your B-R on that.
In any event, the Bears went
through two solid hours of de-
fensive drill yesterday, and the
Bears used their B-R defense.
Do the Bears fear Mr., Battles?
Hardly, eh, what?
