ARRANGEMENTS PERFECT
TO PROPHET RESIDENT
Many Detectives and Fifty-six Police
men Were on Duty Yesterday
at the White House.

Arrangements for the protection of the
President were never so perfect at a
similar function as they were at the
White House reception on New Year
Day. No less than six Secret Service
men and detectives were on duty at the
main entrance Of the Executive Man
son. in addition to the usual number
about the Presidents person. There
were fity-six policemen on duty. in ad-
dition to the detectives and Secret
Service men.
1t developed after the reception that
two men in line had a narrow escape
from being elected. They were in gilt
tering red uniforms which bore I'm gold
letters the advertisement of a patent
remedy. Assistant Chief w. II. Moron,
Of the Secret Service, was on the point
of stopping these men and ordering
them out OF the line. but their con-
duct WIS correct enough and they were
allowed 70 go through.
Secretary Loeb also concluded not to
make a scene by having the men inter-
cepted. and so they passed along the
line.
The President appeared much amused
at their appearance.

NO SECRET.

There is no secret about
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil. The label tells
the whole story. There is a
knack in making it. The
only secret about it is the
secret of It's success.
This year, when cod liver
oil is very scarce and high,
all kinds of cheap, inferior
oils are used to take It's place,
and all sorts of things pre-
Sented as substitutes. Think
Of petroleum being taken as
a substitute for cod liver oil
too absurd. Think of the
xo-called wines, extracts and
cordials of cod liver DILL
they are simply the shadow
without the substance; no
food value in them.
SCOTS Emulsion -" The
Old Reliable is the same
yesterday, today and forever.
Its quality and purity can
be absolutely depended upon
at all times.

SCOUT SHIPS NEEDED
BY UNITED STATES
Construction Officers Busy
With Plans.
STRENGTH OF THE NAvIES
When Ships Now Building Are Com
pleted, America Will Stand
Third in List.

Scout ships are the crying need eff the
United States navy. and members Of the
general board and officers I'm the Bureau
OF Construction and Repair are busying
themselves in devising plans for a ship
which Will be adapted to the peculiar
needs of the navy
With such a great coast lire and with
added responsibilities on the isthmus.
the navy finds itself in immediate need
OF swift vessels which can be used in
dispatch and patroiling service Torpedo
boat destroyers are now being used for
this service, but are wholly unfit for
such work. as they are so small they
cannot carry fuel enough to make long
trips.
Twenty-Five Knots Required.
Naval officers believe the proposed
scout ships should have a speed of M
least twenty-five knots an hour and "A
displacement of about 1000 tons. Such
vessel could carry heavy engines and
enough fuel TO make it capable of run
ming long distances at high speed.
A vessel of this type will doubtless be
recommended by the general board and
immediate steps viii probably be made
TO provide the navy with several scout
ships without delay.
Senator Hale recently expressed the
opinion that the United States navy
VIII be second only TO that OF England
when the vessels under construction are
completed. Naval officers who are
familiar with the strength of navies of
the world think the United States viII
compete with Germany for the third
place in naval strength. but believe
France Will still hold the second place
when all vessels now under construction
Tor the great navies are completed.
Effectiveness Tells.
1t is difficult to make a satisfactory
estimate of the strength of navies with
out considering the effectiveness in ac-
ton Of various types of vessels. but
some Idea of the comparative size of
rlNal naVies can be had from tables
classifying the different vessels.
In Europe the nsvies do not have a
gunboat like that in the United States
navy. but have a torpedo gunboat which
is or similar type England which stands
at the head OF the column in naval
strength, has 90 cruising and fighting

SPORTS IN GERMANY.
Wrestling and "Heavy Athletics" Are
Most in Favor There.

Wrestling and "Heavy Athletics" Are
Most in Favor There.
Wrestling is one Of the most popu-
lar forms of athletic exercises in Ger
many, and it seems as if the heavy
and muscular build of the Germans
peculiarly adapts them for this kind
Of sport. The general public inter
prets the word athlete as meaning
a wrestler. weight litter or strong
man." When the English style of ath-
letics was introduced into Germany it
was termed Eight athletics;' wrestling
is termed as "heayy athletics" In
every town there are many clubs in
dulging in "heavy athletics" and nu-
merous public contests are arranged,
in connection with which challenges to
call Corners" are issued. Here one can
often witness pitched battle between
science and brute pOwer-see an "all
