MAINTAIN POSITION.
Americans Will Not Make Any More
Concessions Regarding Alaska.

Washington. July 1.-FollOwing the rule
governing diplomatic exchange. the state
department refuses tn make public theh
latest instructions sent to Mr.. Choate re
speeding the moduS ViVendi fixing the
Alaskan boundary. However, 1t can u"
stated that they do not contemplate any
abatement in the claims of the United
States as to the territory to he included
in the provisional boundary Line. and gem
orally they look to n persistence in IN"
original position on our part.
Ii is the belief now that the two gov
ernments have come to Il point where II
must be admitted that their present rep
resentativcs must abandon their efforts
to agree on a boundary line. even though
the latter be but temporary and subject
to correction by subsequent negotiation.
Whether or not arbitration will be the
dernier resort cannot be forctold at pres
ent. Iuat means has not been offered in
such shape as to he acceptable Ia our
own government ana it is feared that the
effort to arrange the limitations of an
arbitration would be set with as grave
difficulties as those in the way Of direct
negotiations.

GREAT Stages WONDERFUL BABY.
In Training at Seven MOnths-The
Yale Athlete Developing His Boy

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Have you heard of Stages baby? Down
on the South Side, near the University Of
Chicago, where Stages baby Is known, the
little fellow is accounted not only seven
days wonder, but a seven-months' won
der. In short Stages baby IS lively ex-
ponent, as far as he has gone, of his fath-
er's new system of raising up inyincible
football players for the university in the
years to come.
Athletics for The nursery, gymnastics in
kindergarten, tumbling taught in the era
die and calisthenics for babes 10 long
clothes. These are called for by a system
of physical education which A. A. Stags,
the well-known athlete and coacn at the
University Of Chicago, is evolving and
demonstrating by Impractical example. A.
A. Stagg Jr,, now seven months old, IS
this most interesting example.
Beginning when he was four weeks old,
this athletic prodigy by regular and sys-
tematic exercise administered by his pa
rent coach. has developed strength and
skill in muscular movements which sur
pass ordinary human beings many times
his age.
Amos Alonzo Stage, Jr.. was born April
H. 1899 and claims Chicago as his ma
tive city. He pulled up eight-pound
weights when placed in the balance, and
showed no superior muscular activity to
ordinary kicking babes until his father
took him in hand and began 10 coach him.
When four weeks old he took his first
lesson. Until this time the health Of
Stagg, Jr, had been poor, and he was far
from athletic.

coach. Stagg, Sr, commenced to admins
Ter regular doses of exercise, which he
believed 70 be a sure antidote for many
Ills. The first attempts were pure ex-
periments, but the results soon showed
that the experiment was to be great sue
cess Simple movements OF the little arms
and legs constituted the first weeks Of
training The effect was noticed from the
first. Not only did the infant grow In
strength in his arms and legs, but his gen.
eral health improved. The work toned up
his system and seemed to stimulate growth
in every part of his body.
Light massage and easy movements were
introduced for the body muscles. and the
child was taught to hold his head up by
the muscles OF the neck. Friends OF Prof
stagg were often startled 10 see the pro-
fessor roll his son about and gather him
10 By the clothing without supporting his
head. There was no sinking on the part
Of A. A.. Jr.. either. Instead Of fretting
and chahng under the rugged treatment,
he or0wed and smiled and exhibited a de-
clded taste for the work Football meth
ods were 20 his liking. and he thrlyod on
thorough exercise. His health Improved
