Champ Anxious To Fight Next
 For Uncle Sam

0y VANN SODg& United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Sept. S0.-(UP)-Joe Louis, the worlds happieSt warrior, concentrated with pleasure today on his prospects of fighting soon for Uncle Sam.
 The 27-year-old Detroit negro was more delighted with last nights knockout victory over Lou Nova than any previous triumph in his seven-year career. He was pleased particularly because he can take the heavyweight crown Into the army.
 As jolting Joe and his managers went down to Mike Jacobs oftice to pick up check for about $2o0, 900, the champion was elated also be- cause he had proved to himself and to the questioning fistic fraternity that he is not on the tcboggan.
 Biggest "Kick"
 Co-Manager Julian Black said, Joe got a bigger kick out of the Nova win than from his return knockout over Max Schmeling. There were more things involved this time than in the Schmeling bout"
 Louis expects to he in the army in one role or another-before the end of October. He Is classified "A-1" for the draft, and has been called for physical examination at Chicago in mid October.
 Since Joe still is world champion, and more admired than ever be- fore, he may be used for exhibition purposes by the army's morale de- partment; he may become special boxing instructor, or he may be just a buck private.
 T want a be in the army" says big eaSy-going Joe. T don't care much what they give me to do. I ain't chooSey."
 Before the physical examination. Joe will attend at least two world series games in New York, and then go to Q horse show at Detroit on Oct. { and s. Then, on Oct. 6, he starts Q six-day tour of all six camps in the sixth area Of Illinois and Michigan. Tn these exhibitions. he will box two rounds with 6 sparring

the years 1923 and 1882
The transfer, design d to
strengthen Britain's naval arm in
the battle of the Atlantic against
the German submarine threat, was
ordered under the lend-lease law,
Early said.
Actual transfer of the vessels to
the British, Early said he assumed,
would follow lines similar to the
transfer of so overage destroyers
last year. Those destroyerS were
called to Halifax, Nova Scotia, by
American crews, where the stars
and stripes was hauled down, the
British flag raised and English
crews placed aboard.
Early said that so far as he
knows armament on the cutters is
negligible and when actually turn
ed over to the British the vessels
will carry only their regulation
armaments. The sturdy little ships
apparently will have to be fitted
with antiaircraft guns, depth bomb
racks and torpedoes before they ac-
tually can join the British fleet.
