hit AT TEDDY'S
PHYSICAL TEST
SURGEON GENERAL or ARMY ON
ANNUAL REPORT DOUBTS THE
WISDOM or STRENUOUS
TASKS.

washington, Dec. 1o.--Taking a
square hit at the annual Roosevelt
physical tests for army officers, Sur
geon General Torney in his annual re-
port says that 1t is believed that the
present test not only fails in the OBJ
3ect ii sought to attain physical
condition which would enable them to
be always fit for active field service
but may result in serious damage to
elderly officers
The defeat of the requirement, as 1t
appears, to General Torney, is that 1t
requires officers to be At only once a
year. He wants them to be fit all the
time.
General Torney would induce field
officers to ride regularly by having the
government provide mounts and order
lies for them, wherever stationed. He
deems 1t unjust to require officers not
with troops to take regular rides dur
ing the year. He advocates that the
test ride should NOT be required OF
those serving in the tropics, or Of those
oficers who have reached 81 years.

The Cogswell Enterprise says: Sam
Cant, who eluded the officers OF the

Engleva1e two weeks ago, is still at
large, and no trace has been found Of
him since he mysteriously disappear
ed a week ago in the bad lands In

The belief is general that Cant Is
dead. He reached the bad lands after
five days and nights continuous trav-

He went in hiding in his weakened
condition, and when the cold wave.
followed by Sundays blizzard struck.
he was unable TO Withstand it and
persisted.
A close watch has been kept along
the Missouri river by the Indian po-
lice and unless Cant crossed the river
before the officers reached Mobridge
he is still on this side, and 1t is reas-
enable TO believe he is not alive. How
ever. If he reached and crossed the
river ahead OF the officers, and thai
is not entirely improbable, he has
made good his escape.

washington, Dec. 10.--Another myth
has been exploded. For several years
about New Years day statements are
published that the naval observatory,
with the assistance of the telegraph
and cable companies. win flash the ad-
vent of the new year at Washington
around the world. 1t now appears
that such feat never has been ac-
complished. In officially discussing,
in his annual report the attempt made
on last New Years eve, Admiral
CowIes, chief of the bureau Of equip
ment Of the navy department, says
that the signals were transmitted ''as
far as Buenos Ayres, Australia, Homo
lulu, Guam, Manila and Japan
In addition to this the statement IL
made at the naval observatory that II
has never been successful in flashing
the New Year signal entirely around

slashed and cut. mirrors were broken
and the place thrown into a state Of
disorder. One of the guests declared
the place loled as IL 1t had been struck
