portunlty to deliver an address In
which he set forth for them rules OF

OF his address TO the undergraduates,
advocating athletics. the rougher tho

age In the man. He gladdened the
Harvard men by champioDlng foot

In this connection Mr.. Roosevelt
made special point of striking a;
those who clamor for the inyiolabillty

though II was laudable to defend state
rights, he had no sympathy for the
clamor when the uefense OF state
rights included a derense Of peoples

stanced attempts to prevent the pro.
hibitlon OF child labor and efforts to
break the contract labor law for The

at The Hague. Thus. the new construc.

Tweedmouth, first lord of the admir-
atty, include two. or unless an under
standing between the naval powers is
reached at The Hague conference,

One fast unarmed cruiser, five tor

torpedo boats and 12 submarines. The
estimates for the year show n total re-
duction of 1000 men and S5.O75,00
compared TO 1867.
Lord Tweedmouth comments on the
striking improvement In the gunnery
Of the fleet compared TO last year. The
average OF hits was practically
doubled. and the improvement was
general throughout the fleet. and not
confined to a picked selection OF crack
ships
AS an illustration OF this system and
the better state of repair resulting
from the system OF nucleus crews, he
compares the condition OF January
1904, when out of 60 battleships 81
were not available, owing TO the need
of repairs. with that OF January, 1907
when out of 81 battleships only ,
were not available.
Redistribution Of the Fleets.
In dealing with redistribution oI
the fleets Lord Tweedmouth touched
indirectly on the position of Admira
Lord Beresford. He explained tina
some time would elapse before q
could reach its full strength. He sale
the fleets at home will continue TO II
