ATHLETIC ASSN
AMEND BYLAWS
FOR TRACK MEET

At the annual meeting of the Maine In
tercollegiate Athletic Association which
was held at the Elmwood Hotel Saturday,
a vote was passed amending the bylaws
so as to provide that the annual track
meet of the four Maine colleges shall BE-
held at each college in rotation, except
that in the event the track facilities be
found inadequate the meet shall be held
at the track of the college next in line.
This rule was suggested by the Univer-
sity Of Maine and was prompted directly
because of the poor condition of Colby's
track last year and the handicap to COM
petitors resulting therefrom. When last
year a shift was desired, it was found
that the rules of the association were
such that the meet could not be run OF
other than at Colby's track. where the
rule of rotation placed it for 1915.
The meet this year will be held May 10
on the Bowdoin track at Brunswick. Col
by's turn will come again in 1919, and
Colby athletic authorities hope to have
adequate facilities by that time.
A vote was passed at the meeting plac-
ing the Maine college relay championship
at the B. A. A. games in Boston under
the rules and authority of the assoeia-
ton.
Carl r. Stone of Bates was chosen pres
ident, Andrew c. Little of Colby vice
president, Weston B. Haskell Of Maine
secretary, and Lawrence H. Marston o.
Bowdoin treasurer.

Boston, Feb. 27.-An increasing navy
means that America must soon have
one of the greatest merchant marines

tary of the Navy Daniels, expressed in
a letter to Supt. King Of the Charles
town Sailors Haven. made public to-
night. The letter contained Mr.. Dan

churches.
THE sailor has always been one OF
the most useful men in any country"
Mr. Daniels wrote. while it is true
that the United States have allowed
their merchant marine to decline. we
have nevertheless come to day IN
our national history when the whole
American people have awakened to the
conclusion that we must rebuild that
marine. Already all the great ship
yards of the country are crowded with
new ships. A great navy and a great
merchant marine must always go hand
in hand. The very fact that we have
built a great navy and are increasing
it today as never before. is an earnest
evidence of the fact that we must soon
also have one of the greatest merchant
marines in the world. The sailor.
therefore. is the coming man if he is
not already the man Of the hour and
we live in a day when the church can
not afford to neglect the spiritual well
fare Of this man. heartily endorse the
establishment of Sailors day, when

STANDING ARMY OF 143,000--
BILL IS AGREED UPON BY THE
HOUSE MILITARY COMMITTEE
Members of Both Committees Elk Some Tendencies Toward
the Plans Outlined by Lindley NJ Garrison-They
Favor Practical Test of Volunteer Army

Washington, Feb. 27.-The House
Military committee late Saturday
agreed upon bill for a regular stand
ing army Of $4,000 men, with per
cent. allowance for recruiting. bringing
the total up 70 $4,000, which is slight
ly more than the War department
asked. The Republicans and three
Democrats carried the vote.
The bill also provides for Fed
eralized National Guard which would
| reach a fixed minimum strength or
424, 900 in five years, and organization
of civilian training camps with wide
discretion reposed in the War depart
ment as to the terms of enlistment,
training and government.
This action was one Of the mani
festations Saturday Of 4 growing tend
ency in both the House and Senate
Military committees to provide for a
Federal army reserve in addition to
the regular army and federalized Ma
tional Guard.
Members Of both committees said
they favored a practical test of the
possibility of forming a federal volun-
teer army in peace times on lines
somewhat similar to the continental
army plan.
The apparent intention to abandon
the continental project was one of the
! causes leading up to the resignation OF
Sec. Garrison.
Swing to Garrison Plan
The Senate committee has agreed
tentatively to a plan under which
tva iv:p x,,o,,l3 ha 1nriZp0 in
every Congressional district where
sufficient men volunteered under an
obligation for war service. The maxi
mum force to be thus raised in any
district would be battalion, or SUBJ
Stantially the same number as pro-
posed for the first year of the Gar
rison continental army plan. The
camps would be under command of
full compliments of regular army 9TH
GERS.
Members of both committees, while say
ing they would support any good plan
for federalizing the National Guard as
first line force. frankly admitted Satur-
day that they had doubts whether req
uisite force could be enlisted in the Ma
tional Guard, even under the proposed
Representative Kahn, who has advo-
Gated an extension of the business mems
training camp idea to all classes of citi-
zens who would not enlist in the regulars
or the National Guard, said Saturday
that with 10000 men already enrolled for
intensive military training this summer,
without government aid, he had received
assurances that fully 100000 would be
available next year under his plan.
1000 More Officers
Members of the Senate committee are
understood to take a similar view. The
tentative plan they are considering is in
addition to the regular army and federal
lied National Guard proposals and is in
tended to reach men who would not be
found in either of those services
The House committee arrived at its
regular army figures Saturday as a COM
promise after suggestions of a peace

The Maine Central hasn't the least

necessary and would be a great ex.
pense for them to do SO. They haven't
any passenger equipment to handle
