OUR ENEMY FROM THE ORIENT

OUR ENEMY FROM THE ORIENT. Conservative legislation, and, certain ly, calm public sentiment, will appreci- ate that an injudicious official prognos- tication is contained in report pre- pared by the general staG of the army, submitted to congress by the secretary of war and now published as senate document. This relates to the seacoast Notifications proposed at San Pedro, Cal, at a cost of nearly S4,000,0oo. The report urges the provision of these works of defense at harbor which offers superior advantages to the enemy as a base. No one will question the wis dom of such a precautionary measure in the plan of frustrating the object of foe to establish a convenient station within our continental limits from which to operate against us. It is ob- viously necessary, also, to place ob- stacles in the path of an enemy who might find an opportunity for the in- vasion of a section where could be maintained, for an indefinite period, a large military force. These conditions are offered to a hostile nation in the section of which San Pedro is the most accessible port
 The report from the general staff of the army urges adequate Notifications at San Pedro as the most effective means of removing 'one now conspic- uous cause'' of the public agitation of war contingency on the Pacific coast, which leads "to an unfortunate dis cussion of our foreign relations. It might be expected, after this evidence of appreciation of such discussions cal culated, as the report remarks, Ito pro- yoke international antagonisms of the gravest character,'' that the document would otherwise be discreet. Yet We find in the arguments for the San Pedro Notifications such an allusion as "It may be assumed that our enemy is com ing from the Orient and Recent study discloses the fact that, assuming there were no effective naval opposition, certain Oriental power could, within a month of the time it's hostile intentions began to be even strongly suspected Ga formal declaration of war would nc doubt come a good deal later), land on our Pacific coast an expedition of an estimated maximum of about 1oO,o men, and that such force could be aug. mented. by the end of two months more, to a total of possibly 300,0o0.'' It is finally urged that the San Pedro defensive works are imperatively neces. sary by reason of the "great potential strength as an enemy which a certain Oriental power has recently acquired. ''
 Those who are not given to an excit- ability of emotion will keenly regret the employment of these pointed illustra- tions. The name of the terrifying ori- ental power might as well have been given. If anything is calculated to fur. ther provoke international antagonisrl of the gravest character" VIC would say it was the publication in official form of document of this alarming sort. It is the more to be deplored since the arguments in favor of the San Pc dro Notifications would have been just as strong and just as convincing with out dragging in the reference to "a cer. tain Oriental power.,'

Eat What You want of the food you need
 Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it.
 Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak.
 You must eat in order to live and maintain strength.
 You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a suffic- lent amount of food regularly.
 But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do 1t, you must take something that will help the stomach.
 The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol di- gest the food.
 Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that.

NEW RULES FOR
PENN'S RELAYS
Runners On Each Lap Provided With
the Advantage of Flying Start
and Should Go Fast.

PHILADELPHIA. April 20.-There
is less than one week left TO prepare
for Penn's annual relay meet. which
is the first big outdoor athletic event
OF the year. II will be decided en-
Franklin Field next Saturday and the
number anu class OF entries are unus
ually good.
In these contests. the first good
idea OF the strength OF the different
colleages In track and field athletics
can be obtained and the leading train
ers will try their utmost 10 make
good showing.
PENIS relay race management has
decided on rules 10 govern these con-
tests. There has always been some
doubt about the precise way In which
the various teams should start. To
clear this the following rules nave
been made:
Rule IA line shall be drawn 20
feet in front OF the starting lincsa De
tween these two lines each runner
must touch the succeeding runner
Failure TO do this shall disqualify the
team. There shall be judges OF relay
racing, whose duties II shall be TO seq
tnat ali tOucEes are piOpStiy uooS'
Rule 2-No member OF relay team,
in order to relieve his teammate, may
run back OF the starting line, except
that In case a runner falls exhaustei |;
then the succeeding runner may I'm
back, touch him and continue the rae.
But in TO case may he run back Ill
less the runner has actually fallen ex'
hausted. No man may run two reia?s
on any one team.
Each runner must actually totem
the succeeding runner; overlapping er
making an attempt and falling canLu'
be considered a touch-off. The twenty
feet In front are given for the sole
purpose of making a man wait to be
touched, and the referee has no othe.
alternative than TO disqualify an ath'
lete who fails to touch the succeeding
runner on mis- attempt, which latter,
however. shall start from the starting
line.
Virtually at all relay races the men
that are touched get flying start. The
above rules give them the privilege OF
starting with the man coming Zip; and
II should result in a little faster rae
ing. But, as asserted, there Is no ex'
cuse for the men not being touched
They must be touched, or the team
will be disqualified.
