OCEAN CAMP AICN
FULLY PLANNED
French Admiral Outlines Pro
posed Movements of the
Triple Entente Navies.
WILL DIVIDE BIG TASK
England Holds Channel and North
Sea; France, Mediterranean;
Russia, the Baltic.

Washington. Aug. 5.-For Great
Britain, domination Of the Straits OF
Dover and the North Sea
For Russia, operations in the Baltic
Sea
For France. operations in the Medi-
terranean against the Austrian navy
and the German squadron. and IL nee
essary against the Italian navy and
the Turks.
Thus, according to information re-
ceived by the navy department, has
the triple entente arranged to meet
the enemy. according to the Chicago
Herald's correspondent.
Plan Is Not New.
It IS not a new plan by any means.
AS far back as 1912 the three nations
comprising the entente prepared
against the contingency OF war. France
concentrated all its forces in the Medi-
terranean. The Russians kept their
ships in the Baltic. The English
strengthened the offensive character
of their home fleet while reducing COM
paratively that of their Mediterranean
command.
In the flies OF the department there
Is an interview with Vice Admiral Ger
minet. who has commanded the
French forces in the Mediterranean.
which throws q food of light upon the
present situation. The admiral de-
clares that the allied fleets OF France,
Great Britain and Russia would pre-
vent Germany, Austria and Italy from
entering the English channel, by con
trolling the Straits of Dover. Upon
the outbreak of war it was planned
that France and Great Britain should
serve notice upon neutrals that the
Straits of Dover would be considered
as territorial waters from which neut-
raj ships would be excluded during the
war.
Statement of Admiral
Here is the statement made by the
admiral:
This concentration OF our forces in
the Mediterranean. which had been
long under consideration, is good
strategy. Since the entente cordiale
the role OF the French navy is clearly
defined. II consists in gaining and
holding the mastery in the Mediter-
ranean. We are playing strictly our
own game. as it is our interests which
We are defending II is so much the
better IL the result is that We kill two
birds with one stone and defend Eng
lish interests as we'll
Besides. if we consider the event
uaIity OF a war between Germany and
England. or between the powers of the
triple alliance and the triple entente.
the situation in the north would be
analogous. The roles would be re-
versed. in the sense that Great Brit
ain, in defending its coast against the
German navy. would assure at one
and the same time the safety OF our
northern and western ports. The
rule of the French navy in the north
should be TO close the Straits of Dover
20 every hostile feet by means of the
judicious and stra1egical disposition
of our fotillas. and prevent the pres
elce of a hostile feet in the English
channel

BRAZIL TAKES ACTION
TO ASSIST COMMERCE

Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Aug. 5.-The
Brazilian government is understood to
be about to send four steamers of the
Brazilian Lloyd line to the United
States to bring back coal, oil and pro-
visions.
A decree was issued yesterday de-
clar1ng a bank holiday in Brazil until
Aug 10 after conference had been
held by the cabinet ministers and the
finance committee of the Brazilian
senate and chamber under the presi-
dency of Marshal Hermes Da Fonseca,
president of the republic. 1t was de-
cided also to ask parliament to vote
4 moratorium.
The minister of finance suggested
besides these measures the issue of
decree declaring unconvertible the
bills of the conversion fund, so as to
prevent gold going out of the coun-
try.
These measures have been taken
owing to the urgent necessity of as
sisting Brazilian commerce during the
critical situation brought about by
events in Europe.

az you have a boy and you are
thinking of sending him to a boarding
school there are certain things which
you have right to know and which
it is your duty to know about a school
before selecting it for him. Briefly
stated. these things arc:
IL. The character, ability and cX-
perience of the men at the head Of the
school. There are few men like Or.
Arnold, Of Rugby, whose profound
knowledge and love of boy nature IN
fuenced for good whole generation
of English gentlemen. and lot us hone

his Dotheboys Hall; yet. between these
extremes wide differences exist. and
it behooves a parent to know what kind
of men are to direct and influence his
son during the boys school days.
so. The general tom of the school
and the character and success Of its
educational work. Il is not easy for 4
stranger to get accurate information
on these points, but much can be
learned by judicious questioning OF
those who know the school.
The buildings and equipment of the
school should be of a character TO

BUSINESS MEN COOPERATE TO
PROVIDE COURSES FOR MEN
AND BOYS.

The young men of New York City can
find no more encouraging instance of
the Willingness of the business men of
the city to aid them in their efforts
toward merited success than the pres
ent opportunities available at the
Twenty-third Street Young Mems
Christian Association in courses open
ing this week.
When one considers that this assOcia-
ton as it stands is really the gift of
those interested in young men to the
men and boys of the city; that the eX-
pense asked of the young men is only
q part of the actual cost Of operating;
that business men are each year con-
tributing not only the additional funds
necessary but also of their time and
experience in managing and operating
such a splendid enterprise; that men of
highest calibre are gladly teaching day
and e'ening classes there at a salary
much below that which they are able
to command elsewhere, and that men Of
the type to make good in anything else
they would undertake are willing to
give their life work to the conducting
of such magnificent enterprise in be-
half of young men-surely every OPP
portunity and encouragement possible
or even desirable is put right before
the young men of New York City.
Over sixty different courses are con-
Quoted in the day and evening schools
of this association, regular tuition
being charged for each course. the
rates varying in accordance with the
nature of the courses selected. The
total tuition collected is far below the
necessary cost of the instruction given,
SO that the phrase, Education at Cost, -
use / by this Y. n. c. A. is more than
justified. For instance. the tuition in
the College Preparatory School aver
ages S15 a year, a very small outlay
for what is given.
During the last ten years the edu-
cational department has grown to al
most university proportions. Three
separate schools are conducted, day
and evening. enrolling last year alto
gether 1884 different students and
EMPLOYING seventy-two instructors.
The association accountancy school,
the New York Institute of Acountancy,
enrolled 1856 students. Courses pre-
psratory for accountancy and business
and for the professional c. z. A. degree
are conducted.

TO IMPROVE INTELLECTUAL LIFE

MAGISTRATES LESS CULTURE
AND MORE THOUGHT.
- ~ Ohio

I for creating knowledge, for transmit

Woolsey at Yale, Of James. Walker At

Such conditions and forces have pc.
culiar worth for the whole body Of stu
dents, but there is one method Of this
general sort which has great worth
fer the whole body of teachers. On
the whole, the teachers Of the Ameri-
can college do not often meet to discuss
great questions underlying and closely
related to their work. Each man Is
busy with his teaching. Most are over
worked. Teachers lack leisure for In
