President WIN Be Chief Guest at Harvard
Harvard is making unusual prepa.
rations this year for what it expects
will be the most memorable COM
mencement day in its history. In the
first place it is expected that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be present to Join
in the celebration by his class, that of
1880, of its 255h anniversary of gradu-
ton. Each succeeding year the class
completing % years out of college
makes a special occasion of its an
niversary and is shown unusual
honors. tits the class which is always
given the privilege of naming the
chief marshal of the day from among
its class members, one of the highest
honors of the college year. 1t will be
the most suspicious occasion for the
class celebrating the 25th anniversary
in Harvard's history, for never before
has class been able to number such
a distinguished citizen among it's
members at such a celebration. The
two Adamses who became Presidents
were both Harvard men, but it hap
pened that when the 25th anniversa-
ries of their graduation occurred this
country was engaged in war with
England.
President in Camp.
Elmer Chapman, the courier who
brought official news from Camu
Roosevelt of the capture of a bear
and a bob cat, says the president is
taking the true sportsman's delight in
the rough life of the camp. He is one
of the first to be FIRING in the morn
ing and always the first 20 sit down to
breakfast. The fare seems to suit
him, though he has said sever al times
he would be as well pleased if it were
less pretentious. Mr.. Roosevelt's
idea of camp life is one kind of meat
at each meal, and that fried: vegeta-
bles of the canned variety, coffee
made over an open fire and the smell
ofsmoke in everything that is cooked.
The big white horse which the presi-
dent rode out of New Castle on Sat-
urday is his favOrite of the three that
were taken along for his personal
use. 1t is not fast, but it is strong.
and the trail is never SO stony that
the president and his steed cannot
cover it if any horse can get through
Thethought of starting home appar-
emily has not entered the presidents
head. He says he intends to enjoy
himself as much as possible during
his outing, and his companions be-
heve he is doing 1t. If he has thoughts

communicated them to the noun
taineers.
The War.
The latest news from the far east
shows that certainly a portion of the
Russian second Pacific squadron was
still coaling at Kamranh Bay Saturday
morning. April Is. This news was
brought to Singapore by the British
steamer Suisang and to Hongkong bv
the French steamer Phuyen. The
former merely reports passing the
Russian ships. The piecemeal char
acter of the news excludes the posi-
bility of any accurate estimate of the
movements of Vice Adm. Roiestven-
sky's squadron, but it would show
that the vice admiral has divided his
forces, portion of which went south
ward before Saturday. What has
happened since then it is impossible
to say, and there is no clear evidence
even that the Russians have been
within the emile limit, which would
bring them, according to information
al regulations, into infringement of
French neutrality. The fact that they
were visible to passing ships would
appear to show that they were out
side the limit. Japanese sentiment,
however, is greatly disturbed. The
correspondent at Toxic of the Daily
Telegraph says he has no hesitation
in declaring that should occasion
arise and her preliminary protests be
ignored, Japan will regard any an
chorage occupied by the Russian feet
as its naval base and deal with the
situation accordingly.
