NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-In an interesting address on The Making and Remaking of Fighting Man." deliver ed at the annual meeting of the National College Athletic Association here today, R. Tait Mckenzie, professor of physical education of the University of Pennsylvania and late Major R.A.M.C., England, said, in part:
 You do not need to watch to tell when it is 9 o'clock at the headquarters gymnasium at Aldershot. For IS minutes or more groups of men in black trousers and jerseys, or officers in tennis kit, have been accommodating, and at 9 o'clock precisely Shrill whiS- tie petrifies them in the po- sition of Attention. There is a dead silence and the sharp command Fall In is succeeded by a scramble, out of which emerge 20 classes of officers and men, each in to about 4 to 1, neatly arranged on the floor, each with a staff instructor in charge. At the command Staff Fall In each instructor doubles to where the ser geant major stands, and there they stand at attention to re- ceive the days orders. These given, they make a right turn, rise on the toes and scurry off to their respective classes.

PHYSICAL TRAINING A GREAT FACTOR
 IN THE MAKING IF FIGHTING MEN

Another silence, and the sharp command Carry on is followed by a babel of orders as the various groups march out of the four doors to se- lected places in the twenty acre grounds that surrounded the gymnasium. For the next hour and a half each class is put through the table of exer- ciseS for the day; each exer- else detailed, repeated and corrected until officer and men have the proper speed and accuracy for which they strive.
 At 1O:3O the whistle breaks the classes up into groups for rest. After Is min uteS the same proceeding IS gone through again, but this time the men are paired off; No. 1 teaching the last hours work to No. 2 and back again from 2 to 1, under the fire of the instructors criticism.

RAILROADS AND MEN BREAK AT NEW YORK
(By the Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.- The railway managers and brotherhood presidents con- ference terminated abruptly this afternoon after two hours without any announcement of any future meeting. It was learned that the railroads suggested that the Adamson law, if upheld, be applied as was the recent Switchmens' award, giving nine hours pay for eight hours work. The brotherhoods declined to ac- cept such a basis, insisting that the Adamson law provid- ed ten hours pay for eight hours work. The brother

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
 ARE KEPT WARM
(By Associated Press.)

FL PASO, Dec. 28.-Un- like the American soldiers of the Revolutionary war, who shivered and froze at Valley Forge, the soldiers encamped along the Mexican border have warm sibley tents heat ed by a small sheet iron stove wherein the wood crackles cheerily.
 The mess houses, which during the warm weather were mere sheds screened in from flies, now are walled with tarred roofing paper, Officers tents and other buildings are boarded up.
 In the regular camps, can vas has been displaced by wooden huts, but if is felt the uncertain stay of the guards does not warrant improve ments of such permanence.
 Winter clothing was issued before the cold weather set in, so there has been no sui fering on that score except in the case of a division on a practice march which began in warm weather and ended in a cold wave.
 The winter along the bor- der differs in severity accord ing to the altitude. At Fl Paso which is about 4OOO feet above sea level, the middle part of the day is comfortab- ly warm, so that the men or dinarily go without overcoats and sometimes without jack cts or sweaters. The sun is bright and the air crystal. But as the sun wanes, the ef- feet is felt sharply.
 At night the glass drops to freezing or below. The wind and dust storms that mark the spring and summer are rare at this season.

 DOUGLAS, Dec. 28.- Threatened with death unless he and his wife left Douglas immediately and promised definitely before going that they would not appear against c. c. "Kid" Lee, the King of the Tenderloin," ar rested on a federal charge of opium smuggling and a coun- ty charge of bootlegging, Sol omon Davis told the police Sunday night that he intend ed to stand pat" and make the would-be intimidatorS make good. If other threats of a similar nature are made it is possible that Davis will swear out warrants for the arrest of the men making them and have them put un- der bond to keep the peace.
 Davis and his wife were ar rested last "Wednesday night in raid on Kid Lees Quo Vadis" club in the tenderloin district. Opium was found in their possession and they were charged with having smuggled it.
 Usually, when Lee has been involved in anything,

the negroes who were taken with him have assumed what ever blame there was, and he has gone scott free. This time it was different.
 Davis and the officers had a long talk. He made it very evident that he and his wife had no desire to be fall guys" for Lee. His tentative offer to turn states evidence was accepted and when he and the woman were taken before U. s. Commissioner H. c. Beum- Ter for arraignment, each made affi- davit that the opium in their posses sion had been purchased from Lee.
 Lees arrest followed. He was held under bond of $500 for appearance at his preliminary hearing. He gave bond but was immediately re-arrested by county officers on charge of bootleg ging and his bond on that charge fixed at 5000. He was unable to give that amount and remained in jail Saturday night, one of his sureties withdrew from the federal bond, only one, R. O. Fitch, remaining on it. Lee was there fore doubly in jail. And there he re- mained over Christmas, despite the ef. forts of his friends to find bondsmen.
 One reason, perhaps, no one else could be found was that it was gen. orally understood Lee would be prompt ly re-arl ested on another charge even though he furnished both bonds. It was stated at the city hall few days ago that there were several charges of various kinds standing against him, in any one of which the officers feel sure they have iron-clad evidence which cannot be evaded.

Largest Man
In The World
Without Job

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 21.-The larg-
est man the world has ever known.
measuring over 8 feet tall and weig-
ing in the neighborhood of 1000
pounds, is walking the streets of At
lanta, practically unnoticed, and at
times, apparently out of job.
1t is the big negro who was formerly
with onet of the biggest circuses in the
country, but who came here some
months ago, dressed in a red uniform
in the employ of some local concern
He attracted great deal of attention
at first, but since then has become a
Tart of the landscape and nobody ever
notices him any more. 1t is said, how
ever, that he is the largest man now
living, and tie largest one on record.
The next largest, it is said, was
Niles Darden, native of North Caro-
lima, who died in Tennessee in 1857.
He measured seven and a half feet
tall and weighed nearly 1000 pounds.
One of the remarkable things about
the giant here is that his body is nor
NAL in proportion. His hands are
abotu the size of hams, and his feet
are nearly thirty inches long.
