REPORT MADE PUBLIC
Of the Army and Navy Officers Con-
vention.

Washington. March 31.-The war de-
partment has made public the report
of the Joint board of army and navy
officers convened by special orders OF
Feb. z. tn take into consideration the
physical training of cadets at the mil
ftary academy and of midshipmen at
the naval academy. The report is en-
dorsed by President Roosevelt. who di-
rects that the recommendations be car
ried out and also that further report
on progress be submitted to him 80
days hence. Secretary Taft approves
the recommendations except as to the
suggestion that the sword of the army
be made a part of the equipment or ev-
cry ship in the navy for use of officers
and landing parties.
The most important feature of the
report is the recommendation that the
japanese art of Jiu Jitsu be incorpor-
ated in the course with boxing and
wrestling. The board recommends that
physical training be extended over the
four years course at each academy in
stead of one year as at present. In dis
cussing the use of swords and after
recommending their use on ships. to
which objection is made by Acting Sec
retarv Darling, the report says:
This widespread opinion against
the sword and in favor of the revolver
only is founded upon service under an
normal conditions in a country largely
under brush, and against foe who
rarely stood against a determined ad-
vance and with a sword which itself
was an inferior weapon.
1.-The increased killing power of the
magazine rifle and rapid fire field gun
has operated to force both the Japan
csc and Russian armies in order 10
minimize their losses to make many
night attacks. These night attacks are
not surprises by small bodies OF troops
but movements of divisions and armies
in battle formation. The result OF thls
DEVELOPMENT has been to force the ire
uuent employment of the bayohet py
the enlisted men, and of the sword by
the officer, and to increase tneir MI
portance as fighting weapons. Inc
losses due to cold steel in this war
will probably never be actually known,
but enough has already been reported
officially on both sides to show that
the sword has been effectively used;
particularly in these midnight at
lacks. These being facts. it follows as
a collorary that the sword adopted Tor
officers of the army should be hight
ing weapon and not merely a badge of
office

KAISER ARRIVES.
German Emperor Hale and Hearty at
Tangier.

Tangier. Morocco. March "1.-The Ham
burg-American liner Hamburg with the
German Emperor on board arrived here
Friday morning. from Lisbon. His Maj
esty was awaited at the landing by the
representatives of the Sultan, tine diplo-
matte corps and Il big crowd of people
\ heavy sea was running when the
Hamburg anchored and the Emperor sent
his grand chamberlain ashore to apollo
size for the fact that he must delay land
ing owing to the rough weather and say
ing that he probably would land later
This announcement caused the greatest
disappointment among the people ashore
who had gathered to welcome His Maj
esty
The usual salutes were exchanged be-
tween the escorting German cruiser Prinz
Friedrich Karl and the land batteries
and the French warship LnoiS and Du
Chayla now in these waters.
The town presents a most picturesque
appearance. Flowers, rich Moorish en-
broideries. fine rugs and brilliant Eastern
costumes everywhere make up scene
heretofore unknown in Tanser.
Emperor William landed almost with
ont warning and many of the diplomats
had retired on the earlier announcement
that the reception would be deferred.
His Majesty was received by Abd-El-
Malek. the Sultans uncle. with whom he
conversed for some time. Deputations
from the German residents and leading
MOors were then presented to the En-
peror. The Germans delivered to His
Majesty an address of welcome to which
he replied as follows:
II am happy to recognize in You devot-
ed pioneers of German industry and COM
merce who are helping me in the task
of always unfolding in a free country the
interests of the mOtherland. The sover-
eighty and integrity of Morocco will be
maintained
Emperor William proceeded to the Ger
man legation. where he held reception
of the members of the diplomatic corps
and the Arab notabilities. Subsequently
the Emperor held another long confer
ence with Add Ell alek and also a long
talk with the Spanish minister.
Captain Pournier. the French instructor
of the native troops at Tangier was in
troduced to His Majesty. who chattel
with him for some time anirnatedly.
Emperor William left the legation at
1.3U P. NJ. saving that owing to the delay
in landing he could not remain any longer
but must proceed to Gibraltar.
On His Majesty's return to the landing
stage ADD Malel presented him with
the gifts sent by the Sultan and Emperor
William re-embarked after having been
scarcely two hours ashore.
The Emperor was accorde1 a splendid
reception by the natives. who, however,
where greatly disappointed at the brevity
of his visit. which made it necessary to
curtail much ceremonial prepared in
honor of His Majesty.

Master Prynne, the weak, well mean
ing Puritan who in 1888 wrote an at
tack upon the stage. tells us that In
his day tobacco pipes were offered TO
ladies at the theater in lieu Of apples
between the acts. A French traveller,
N. Torevin de Rochefort. who pub
lished his journal in 1877. confirms
this by telling us that he found smok-
ing a general custom In England, as
well among women as among men.
Both sexes, he adds, held that life
without tobacco would be intolerable
ebecause, they say, it dissipates the
evil humors Of the brain"
When ladies stopped smoking they
took to spuff. Women Of quality about
a century ago would not stir without

How the Nutmeg Grows.

"a nutmeg tree" said the gardener,
"looks like laurel. The nutmeg tree
begins to bear at the age Of ten years.
1t keeps on bearing until 1t Is ninety.
The fruit resembles an apricot, and
when ripe 1t bursts open, showing at Its
heart the black nutmeg Enclosed in a
network of scarlet. The nutmeg after
plucking must be dried. 1t is dried
over a slow fire, and the process Is te-
dious. II often occupies two months.
Before shipping the nutmegs are al
ways STEPPED In sea water and lime.
This is to protect them from Insects.
They have nothing but Insects to fear.
In an insect proof condition they keep
well. they keep practically forever.
