AMERICANS LAeK|NG
 IN PHYSICAL TRAINING

"The majority of American boys and men are muscularly weak from the waist line up, the legs usually show ing up we'll as regards strength" says Surgeon J. A. Murphy in a report to the Navy Department on the physique of the average applicant for enlist ment in the navy. Surgeon Murphy is the naval authority on physical train ing, and is urging strongly the per manent adoption of the Swedish sys- tenn of physical training in the navy.
 Discussing the physical attributes of the thousands of men and boys who apply for enlistment in the army, navy and marine corps, he says that many are strong, but through excess of weight (fat, usually), prove rela- lively weak.
 Many of the strong also are awk- ward, unresponsive, ponderous, and through stiffening of joints and con- fractures of muscles, lack speed ard agility. All of these types, with few exceptions, have rounded backs. TO- truding abdomens, dropping heads and flat chests. Any attempt at effor: lacks power, because orientatioa is disturbed and the normal straight line of thrust through the joints an1 nus cles is lost
 All this is the more re5r ,ttaJle, ac- cording to Surgeon Murphy, let arse large percentage of tn 'se physical defects could be removed if physical training is carried out along proper lines as part of the educatiou if lie young.

War w cary

The obligation that rests upon decent newspapers to tell the truth is sacred and responsible one At no time should it be more honored in observance than during the continuation of the tragedy that is being enacted upon the European continent A pe- riod like the present stfens the demand for veracy made by public that takes journalism seriously.
 Rightminded people have wearied of the unend- ing procession of tales of horror cruelty and desruc- ton. They are eager, anxious, to address them selves to the constructive policies of peace. The dis torted perspective presented them by many newspa- reading public is sick and tired of the monotony of the war diet served up to them.
 Yet, how many sensational newspapers disregard their duty to their readers and careless of their obl gation deliberately invent horrors for the sole pur pose of claiming supremacy in the publication of ex- elusive news
 Never in the history of the newspaper has there been such demand for truth; yet never in the his tory of the newspaper, has truth been carelesSly handled No wonder the reading public is weary of war news" So are we.

 WASHINGTON |NACT|0N

NACO, Ariz., Nov. 25.-The coro ner's jury, summoned by Justice Fol son, of Naco, to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Encina, last Wed nesday, after finding that she was shot by a bullet fired from Mexico when hse was preparing a meal at her home in Naco, Arizona, continued as follows:
 "We further find that for a long time prior to the death of the de, cedent, formal protests had been lodg- ed with the military officers in com mand of the federal troops at Naco, and had been transmitted to the gov ernment at Washington and to the seat of local government at Phoenix, protesting against the indiscriminate firing across the international line by Mexican beligerants, and pointing out in detail the danger to life and proper ty on the American side and the ne
  of the federal government to protect the life and property of citizens on the American side of the international line, whose property has been sub- jected for more than sixty days to the risk of damage and loss and whose lives are now constantly and for more than sixty days have been constantly exposed to the perils of rifle fire and shrapnel from the Mexican side Of the international line, and that at the time of this hearing, so far as can be learned, no action has been taken to protect American lives and ptop- erty, and no definite assurance nor facts exist from which deduction can be made as to the probable duration of the battle now waging across the international line, in and about the town of Naco, Sonora; that the death of the decedent was the result of reck- less, unlawful and unnecessary firing across the line which might have been averted, by adequate and timely pre- cautions adopted for the protection of American lives and property.
