None Sent Home and No Date Fixed
for Reducing Force.

Washington, May 16.-Eight hundred
marines, the total force now in the Phil
ippines, have been concentrated at Olon-
gapo, forty miles distant from Manila
None of these are to be brought here for
the present, and it said at the navy de-

fixed when the force should be reduced.
Navy department officials say the con-
centration of the marines was in pursu-

constabuIary, and that it has no special
connection with developments in China.
1t is stated that Rear Admiral Evans
has recommended that the marines on the
Asiatic station be not reduced in strength
at present.

In this paper is published something
of the first unhappiness that seems
to have come to the Bryan home
the marriage of Miss Ruth, the
eldest daughter, to an artist whom
Mr.. Bryan brought to his home for
the purpose of having him paint a
portrait, Miss Bryan was to have
given herself to some kind of phi
lanthropic work. There is a sugges-
ton of sadness about this marriage,
aside from the opposition of the pa
rents. It is based upon the almost
certain fact that this young girl, full

College Training and the Business Man

College Training and the Business Man.
President Charles F. Thewing, of
the Western Reserve University and
the Adelbert Colle9e, contributes an
interesting paper to the October
number of the North American Re-
view on college training for the bust
ness man. The main trend of the
argument issthat a college training
is good for all business men. He
admits that sometimes when the
young man starts to college, say at
eighteen, and his peer starts to bust
ness without the college training, the
latter for the first ten OF twenty years
may seem to outstrip the former in
life's race, but he says that before
they both reach their three scores
years and ten the college trained
man will have the advantage and get
much more out of life. President
Thewing admits that certain boys
should not go to college. We quote
him on the boys referred to. He
says: "Boys who dislike study should
not go, for they are in peril of be-
coming social rebels and pessimists.
Boys who cannot bear freedom should
not go, for they are in peril of be-
COMING slaves to unworthy habits
Boys who are lazy should not go, for
they are in peril of adopting a soft,
luxurious life, which it is difficult to
throw off and which i'll becomes the
hard worker of the workaday world
of the new America."-The Com
