Z Cambridge, Mass. Apr. 17.-ln the
opinion Of President Charles w. Eliot
Of Harvard university. as embodied IN
his annual report to the board Of over
seers Thursday, the exaggeration OF
athletic sports in schools and colleges
remains a crying evil In general
criticism of college sports he reiter-

regarding football, CHASING 1t as the
least useful OF all the games"
President Eliot says further:
"The means OF depressing the pre-
yailing exaggeration Of athletic sports
are obvious, as was stated in the last
report. The number Of intercollegiate
contests should be reduced to two In
each sport during any one season, the
rest of the competition in each sport
being exclusively home competition.
"The American notifications Of
Rugby football have now been played

It clearly appears that neither thu

Rome, Apr. 2O.--An Italian squad

for the purpose Of making demon

includes the battleship Regina Elena
commanded by the duke Of the Apruz

here that Turkey may see the error

The difficult between the TWO pa

Turkish government to permit the IN

time other foreign nations have estap

there without interference.
Considerable irritation has been Eel

tiyes who have sold land to Italians

government is based primarily on tn

in Rome has pointed out In an intel

For years It has been felt in govern

been taking advantage Of the intern'

manner toward Italians, showing bv
little respect for Italian rights. I'M
government, 1t is stated, has been I

That there will eventually be conflict
between the yellow and the white races
that will shake the earth is the opinion of
Justice Harlan of the United States SUI
preme Court. as expressed in an address
before the Navy League at Washington.
He said: "If I had the opportunity l
would vote for an appropriation of S5O,-
100000 a year for period of ten years
for larger navy. There is no such thing
as friendship between nations as between
men. Nations make no sacrifice to pre-
serve friendships. and do not forbear to
do certain things because they do not
meet with the approval of other nations.
We refer to the people of Asia as the yel-
low race. There are 400,OOO,OOO Chinese
as strong mentally and physically as we
are. We have no hostility toward them,
but there will be a conflict between the
yellow race and the white race that will
shake the earth. When it comes / want
to see this country with a navy on both
oceans that will be strong enough"

The first five years of the profit-sharing

the plan was first announced in 1908 will
receive an extra dividend of 65.4 per cert.
