I'VE learn from La Suisse Liberale

from Argentina is very high, this dis

The Yale Harvard boatrace this
year will be cancelled in event of a
declaration of war by congress, ac-
cording to Fred W. Moore, graduate
treasurer of athletics at Harvard uni
versity. Other athletic events also
will be Cancelled, although such COM
petition as may be decided on Har-
wards home fields when the prepara-
ton does not involve extensive train
ing, will be played. The probability of
similar action by other colleges may
further reduce these contests.
No formal agreement has yet been
reached regarding the Yale Harvard
regatta at New London, Conn, on
June %, although there has been an
Informal exchange Of views between
the graduate athletics committees Of
both universities. The crew activities
would be the first to be abandoned,
according to the treasurer both be-
cause of the preparation necessary and
the fact that every member of the
varsity crew and most of the mem
bers of the second eight are enlisted
for some form Of military Or naval
training.

proclamation requiring all alien enc
mics living within 40 miles of tide
water to report their presence to the
nearest United States marshal Lock-
ington reported to the marshal at
Philadelphia and was removed to
Reading, where he was given limited
liberty under parole. Later he was
found at large in Philadelphia and ap-
pealed to the courts against the order
to convey him back to Reading. His
case came up first in the PENNSYLVANIA
courts and later before Justice Wash
ington of the United States supreme
court, sitting as a federal circuit court.
Justice Washington sustained the
presidents action under the act of
1898 in an opinion in which he said:
"The power of the president under
the first section of the law to estab-
lish by his proclamation or other pub
lie acts, rules and regulations for ap-
pretending, restraining, securing and
removing alien enemies, under the
circumstances, stated in the section,
appears to me to be as unlimited as
| the legislature could make it,"
The case was never carried to the
supreme court of the United States and
the ancient law has, therefore, never
been passed upon by the highest court
of record.

section will take hold OF this crop next
year themselves and that it will prove
one OF the best crops for North Da =
kato farms.

seeding the hemp" said Mr.. Clancy,
but next July, towards harvesting

= Assemble Staff.
Plans have been laid for calling the
fall strength of the general staff to
Washington to help in administration
of the huge task Of army building be-
fore the department. Only half of the
authorized strength of the staff can
now be on duty here under existing
law. Congress is expected to remedy
this at once, however.
Pending decision by congress on
the methods to be employed by rails
ing the army. detailed scheme for
appointment of new general officers
and getting highly efficient soldiers in
command of each regiment cannot be
worked out. The basis for this work,
however. already has been estab-
lished by staff action.
Selection Of Officers.
Wide latitude has been left to the
president in the selection of generals
under the staff plan. They may be
appointed from any part of the forces
to be raised or from civil life. Up to
and including the grade of colonel
however, it is desired by the military
officials that men who have had re-
cent experience in handling troops
shall be selected. So far as possible,
it is proposed to select regular army
regiments.
With 80 infantry and four cavalry
divisions to be organized there would
be at least SO major generals and three
times that number of brigadiers to
be selected and commissioned, with
grade of major is the highest provided
for reserve officers and that of cap
tain for the provisional list of enlisted
men.
The creation of 16 training centers
would provide for two infantry di-
centers for the four cavalry divisions

the Mexican border SO that this
mounted force can take over the bor-
der patrol work to a large extent, re-
lieving the majority of the 10000 reg.

With the calling out of the frs
100000 of the new army. provision
would be made for complete division
at each training center, the forces al
ready there supplying the instructor.

"A Poor Little Rich Girl" affords the inimtable Mary Pickford screen play which all lows the foremost screen favorite am- pie opportunity to portray touching sit nations as only she can This will be seen at the Coliseum next Sunday night.
 The story by Eleanor Gates. the we'll known writer. has been presented on the stage and in book form and has met with popular favor everywhere in this country.
