OLYMPIC COMMITTEE IN
MIDST OF PROGRAM WORK
Meeting at Luxembourg Has Diff
Guilty with Details of In
ternationaI Meet

LONDON, Sept. 4.-To judge by
what happened at the recent annual
meeting of the international Olympic
committee at Luxembourg, the Swedish
program, when finally arranged, will
be remarkable for a lot Of changes and
innovations. Only the rough draft of
the program has yet seen the light
but with almost two years to work out
the details still more complicated
events may be introduced.
The event to come in for consider
able attention was the Marathon race,
and in Sweden it will be an out ana
out contest of endurance. That Is,
there will be a clear course from start
to finish, and the runners Will not De
allowed attendants, nor snail they
take refreshments or receive aid from
anybody along the route under penalty
of disqualification. Neither will autos,
motorcycles, bic. cles or conVeyances
of anv kind be allowed on the course.
These conditions were proposed by
the italian delegate, Count Brinetta
d'JJsseaux, and they met with the ap-
proval Of the entire body. the ltallan'
in giving his reasons for introducing
these conditions, said that they would
in a measure do away with the cIaiIIio c
of unfairness or the runners peinB
helped along. He argued that II tne
Marathon was a test of endurance IL
should be carried out on the strlct leI-
ter of the word

GERMAN JOURNALS CALL
FOR INCREASE IN ARMY
Teutonic Paper Bids Fatherland
to Prepare for Fight

BERLIN, Sept. A strong demand
for considerable increase in the num-
hers of the German army is made both
by the Neueste Nachrichten ana the
Hamburger Nachrlchten. The German
army act of April, 1905, expires in the
spring of next year. and it is urged
that the alteration of the po1tlcal SIT
uation in Europe during the last SIX
wears imperatively necessitates an IN
crease in Germany's military resources
The Neueste Nachrichten goes so far
as to call upon the Fatherland to pre-
pare itself in the course of the next
few years for a fight for national eX-
istence. "These next years. so far as
can be foreseen," says this Journal
will put to the test the question
whether Germany is to be called upon
to continue to play a prominent part
in the world or whether she is on the
downward grade. It is our duty as
nation to see to 1t that our fighting
forces are such that we can face this
final struggle of the future in calm cer~
tainty.
.'The German empire has two from
tiers to defend. France, covered py
England's fleet, can set all her forces
in motion against us, since Italian sol
diers will not bear arms against the
French. Russias cares in Asia have
been much diminished by the new un-
derstanding in the far east, and she
can use her whole army against Ger
MANY and Austria. France since 1908
has made enormous efforts and Russia
learned much in 1904-5. Once let our
military efficiency be surpassed during
these few years and all prospect OF
peace disappears.
"As yet scarcely 80 per cent of Ger
mans capable of military duty per-
form their service, since for the rest
the army has no room. They pass
into the reserves and these reserves
have not for years been called out
for exercise according to the law be-
cause the necessary funds have been
lacking. The minimum indispensable
requirements of the army include the
establishment of thrtythree more in
fantry battalions, the voting Of 'eX-
ercise funds for the reserve, the reor-
ganization of the field artillery and
the establishment of several new cav
airy regiments"
Count ReVentloW, the naval expert,
publishes in the TageszeitunS the ap-
propriations which will be laid before
the Reichstag in the naval budget next
session. From this statement it would
appear that Germany intends to avail
herself of the sale of the two battle
ships Kurfuerst Friedrich Wilhelm and
Weissenburg to Turkey in order to add
two Dreadnaughts to her fleet year
ahead of the time she would otherwise
have acquired them.

CALIFORNIA OIL MEN UNITE FORCES
TO RESIST ADVERSE FEDERAL ACTION
SevnSeven Representatives of Eight Large Companies Meet at
Bakersfield and Discuss Appeal to Interior Department
and Possibly Will Make Plea to Congress

The legal phases of the situation were
explained by Attorney ]. d. Ledeman
of San Francisco. NJ A. Johnson Of
ing legislation, making the point that
in very large part 1t was first formu-
lated by the miners themselves, then
recognized by the courts and finally en-
acted into the statutes.
MAY APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Congressman s. C. Smith of the
Eighth district said the oil men seemed
to be confronted by what amounts to a
law suit although the hearing must
be first before an executive officer and
not court. and about the first step
should be to hire a good lawyer. He
said he believed that the matter might
be satisfactorily adjudicated before the
interior department, but if that proves
impossible there remains an appeal for
curative legislation by congress, which
he believed could be secured.
A discussion of plans for organiza-
tion resulted in delegating to the COM
mittee of thirty-two practically com
plete powers in this respect, as well as
in the formulating of a line of action.
Chairman Fox and the secretary, Cen
eral r. l.. Peeler, were made members
of the committee.
Among those who took an active part
in the discussion we're w. f. William
son of San Francisco, w. d. Young,
