It was said the president left the capitol last night with an open mind, expect ing during his trip to give careful consideration to each of the long list of candidates suggested to him.
 Among many of those familiar with the presidents views the impression prevails that unless he goes outside of high official circles for a war sec- retary he will name Franklin K. Lane now secretary. of the interior Others believe that of those already associ- ated officially with the administration Secretary Houston of the Agricultural department, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the navy and Counsellor Polk of the state department, all are being very seriously considered by the
 president

ness? Some think Of Military drill
in public drills Will this produce
physical fitness? What are the
real needs in reference to physical
preparedness? Surely it means
physical efficiency, physical fitness.
What are the needs in this respect?
To indicate the degree of physical
inefficiency which exists among
men in the United States, though
the conditions represented seem
unbelievable. The following is
quoted from a letter addressed to
the New York Journal by Captain
l.. P. Pinkton in charge of the re.
cruiting bureau of the United States
Marine Corps, New York City.
DO you know that during the
present year to date there has been
1902 applicants for enlistment in
the United States Marine Corps at
recruiting station, located at No. "a
East Twentv-Third St., this city,
and that out of that number only,
316 we're able to pass the required
examination, just think of it? OF
men out of every one thousand
one in every IS who applied, physi-
cally fit to be a marine.
Figures from other large cities
of the United States do not show
such a large percentage of physi
caIly units, but they are interest.
ing, and you may have them for
the asking"
Commenting upon these figures
. the editorial in the Journal remarks
Remember that it is not necessary
for these men to pass intellectual
tests. All that they require is a
healthy body, sound legs. arms,
lungs and heart, to enable them to
learn to drill and do the work.
And not three out of a hundred are
fit for the task. 1t ought to be
somebody's business to investigate
the causes Of so much physical un.
fitness and the possibility Of elimi.
mating the unftness.
/ Needless to say these men are
not fair samples of the men are
not lair samples of the United
States. the nation would be in a
bad way if they were.
But these are the men that apply
for service in the navy, and three
thousand and sixteen out of more
than eleven thousand are strong
enough to be accepted for the work.
| A certain man who has been
among the men in all the training
camps in England tells us that it
takes a full year to get the men in
condition after they enlist. Eng.
lands experience in this war indi-
Gates that the big problem is not
primarily the training of the men in
a military tactics or drill, but con-
ditionine the men, therefore the
lesson to us should be to discover
what methods can best be used to
put and keep men in good physical
condition.
The North American Gymnastic
Union, in pamphlet which it is
giving wide circulation, says of
Germany. Not the so called mill
tarism, about which so many ab-
surdities have been written, enables
Germany successfully to withstand
world of enemies.
1t is more, far more, the moral
and physical strength of the COM

motive. decide to undergo a few
weeks military drill at Camp Platts-
burg or Fort Sheridan.
The suggestion that a million
men can be raised almost over
night for military service, IN the
light of these experiences of gener-
al physical unftness of men can
not be accepted as at all tenable.
Neither on the other hand, will the
ardent supporter of the suggestion
that military drill be made com.
pulsory in the public secondary
schools and in the colleges meet
the need.
DR.. Sargent of Harvard in his
discussion on the introduction of
military drill in the schools of Mass
achutts, epitomizes his views as
follows:
l Let US consider first what are
the fundamental requirements of
modern war as regards the men
and women of a belligerent coun.
try.
a. Health and vigor of its peo-
pie. and the knowledge of how to
maintain it under both favorable
and adverse circumstances.
b. Mental acumen and bodily
and mental control under irving
circumstances.
c A courageous and general
spirit that will fight for what it
believes is right for all it is worth.
2. How near do we come in
this country to filling these condi-
tons? The most of our children
are not trained and developed
physically as they should be, while
a few are overturned and enjoy the
special attention OF instructors and
the use of facilities barred to many.
b. Mental acumen as regards
physical activities is not developed
as it should be for lack of the OPP.
portunity for its expression.
c. The moral qualities of courage
cooperation and self.sacrifice and
the fighting spirit. in its broadcast
and best sense. are not developed
as they should be for lack of whole.
some and properly directed, means
for their expression. except again
in the case of the favored few.
8. Does military drills in the
schools develop these qualities in
youth which prepare a nation for
the struggles of war to say nothing
of those of peace. No, because:
1t is not an adequate means
for physical training, being not only
very limited in its activities, but
actually harmful in its effect on
boys less than eighteen or twenty
years of age.
2 1t does not offer sufficient
opportunity for the development of
the individuals powers of muscular
and mental condition and the exer.
else of judgment under unusual and
trying circumstances.
8 1t does not offer sufficient
opportunity for struggle which re-
quires and develops spirit of CO.
operation and self sacrifice, loyalty
and a strong will.
4 The most military nations in
the world do not have military
drills in their schools, but give
military instructions, and training
only after the boys have reached
eighteen or twenty years, and have
received years of physical training
as part Of their schooling.
5 The same qualities that are
of most value for war are of most
value in peace. Military drill is
inadequate as a preparation for the
struggle for peace. such as are
necessary to sustain the place of
the individual or nation in the
pursuit of science, politics. com.
merce, etc.

The. raYages Of war on non-combatants
was a lesson drawn from a lecture by
Miss Hendrika Van Der Flier. daughter
of the late royal chaplain Of The Hague,
In Woodward & Lothrop's auditorium
yesterday. Miss Van Der Filler spoke on
What Holland has done for $4,000 Bel
gian Refugees" She is in America TO
seek funds for caring for the penniless
invaders of Holland.
Miss Van Der Filler told OF the dire
need of funds to care for the homeless
refugees. She spoke of the simplicity OF
their wants, of how many families found
shelter In tents, and OF the overcrowding
of homes of sympathetic Dutch folk.
Illustrating her word pictures with
lantern slides, Miss Van Der Filler took
her audience along with the Belgians as
they fed their country with the Invasion
of the Germans. The enormity of the
crowds fleeing along highways leading
to Holland was typified with a remark
that mothers lost their children once
they released their hands.
