Frances Position Is Indefensible.
Chicago Record

The position Of France in the Waller case
Is proving 60 be wholly indefonsibie. Since
Mr.. Waller arrived In France to begin serving
a sentence OF 20 years imposed by French
has used every effort to verify the legality OF
the act of the French military court. but has
boen acfeated by the authorities OF France,
who. IN response TO the demand OF Mr.. Eus-
us, our Ambassador, refused 10 show the rec-
ord OF DIR. Walters conviction or to permit
our representative to have any interview
with MIR. waller. The wholly unusual course
OF France In this matter ~ now explained by
the TACT that the court martial before which
Mr.. Waller was tried in Madagascar WAS
wholly irregular and made no detailed report
of the proceedings 10 the French government.
This put France in the position OF having SO
grossly violated the law OF nations as TO hold
IA citizen of a friendly power prisoner with
out the shadow of authority.
There Is, however, motive behind this
discourteous act of France 20 a citizen OF the
United States, and inferentially, TO the United
states itself. France has been trying to exer-
else the rights of a protectorate over Madagas.
car against the wishes Of the sovereign and
the people of that island The claims of
France while acknowledged by Great Britain,
have not been conceded by tho United States.
The war vessels Of our Government in NADIA
gascar waters have refused to salute the
milton Of French claims over the island. The
Americans in Madagascar naturally took the
same view of affairs. Mr.. Waller an ex-
United states Consul, made himself in some
way obnoxious TO the French military authori-
ties, and he was arrested, tried by an irregu-
lar court-martial and sentenced.
The position OF France Is an open and direct
insult To our Government, and the gravity OF
the offenso calls for the prompt and energetic
demand from Washington that Mr.. Waller be
for the indignity to which he has been SUBJ
iected.

James q. Blaine McGiffln was graduated
from the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1882,
and at the outbreak of the Franco-C Chinese
war he resigned from the United States serv-
ice and went TO China to see active service.
McGifiip's father was classmate of Mr..
Blaine in Washington College, and he had
been colonel of a regiment during the civil
war. Mr.. Blaine's letter assured the young
American officer a hearing and the opportun-
ity TO undergo an examination for the Chinese
service. McGihin passed his examination ex-
cellently.
Captain Won Hannelen. the German officer

Dietering, an English commissioner of taxes
in China. The captain was many years the

TECHNICAL TRAINING.
Demand and Opportunity for lis En-
enlargement at Brown University.

From President Andrews Annual Report
The University would be remiss in it's
duty to this State and city did il not in
cessantly call attention to the chance
which its situation and Its present pro-
vision offer for the development OF a
thoroughly furnished school of applied
science Most promising beginnings of
such plant have been made and present
themselves I'm departments of the Univer-
sity as il Is, which departments, with
only moderate and not costly expansion,
could provide all the instruction in their
kinds that the fuller organization would
require. In mathematics, in mechanical
drawing, In physics and chemistry, and
in biology, everyt hing Is ready. Nearly
the same is true in each branch OF engin-
eering and in architecture, disciplines
which, with us, are OF more recent though
Of remarkably healthy growth. Indeed,
the only quite indispensable outlay at the
beginning, aside from vhat the Univer-
sity itself would bo atie o make, would
be for a suitable bGsielug. Two strac-

age which our technical courses now re-

Just about us Is very large, raising up
each year bright youth with inciinations
toward practical sciences, sufficient to

school. Some OF these can attend the IN
stitute OF technology, and do so. A few
seek technical instruction siill farther
away. But the majority do not and can
no; go out OF the state for this purpose.
This community must rrovide Tor their
technical education or a technical edaca-
tion they will never have.
Moreover, every old institution Of
learning like our University has large
clientele remote from its seat as well as
near, continually producing bright stu

Shis, Harvard University, so much nearer

Brown University might expect Students
in science Is not 30 large as that to which
Harvard might look; but the contiguous
community, naturally tributary TO us, Is
much larger than that which Harvard
can hope ever to divide with the Institute.
Whatever good reasons Harvard may have
for building up the Lawrence School GER

tired, hungry and thirstyi reduces flesh
and contributes in every way to strength,
good spirits and endurance. Remarks the
trainer of the New York Athletic Club
and of Yale College, Mr.. NJ C. MURPHY:
'"I know Of noting except kolafra besides

can be conscientiously given by a trainer TO
his men. IL certainly is a remarkable drug

mile race is the hardest work man can do.
and yet by giving kolafra 10 an athlete he is
in better shape to do hard work after doing
quarter mile than he was before running. In
fact koafra kills fatigue. Naturally, there
fore, a man can train more steadily and, as
a matter of course,i bound TO grow stronger.
Kolafra il "A valuable aid 10 digestion in
many practical wyas which tho trainer can

Is that IL quenches unnatural thirst or hun

phine by making the stomach numb. II
simply keeps the desire for drink and food
normal in spite of the heavy work done. Be-
sides it is u preventive for that form OF indi-
gestion which comes froIa hard training.
| Trainers recognize sort OF nervous dyspep

And Mr.. MURPHY further testifies to the
lasting effects OF this wonderful stuff:
cit seems incredible, but one glass of
kolafra will last one day, and here is just
where its importance to training comes
In. 1t gives staying power. A man can
run harder and longer; crew can row
faster and longer. The simple fact is, it
adds as much power to the muscles as
coal does to an engine. Again, in keep
ing the pulse even, the heart regular, the
temperature normal, the nervous system
properly keyed up, it is a wonderful help
in discipline. Overwhelming and over
eating are the two principle factors adverse
to health with which the trainer has to
| deal.v
Verify, this must be wonderful stuff,
but we can't but feel that the result Of
its stimulation must give something OF a
reaction somewhere and somehow. We
should like to learn more Of this.
