 Furthermore, it takes an entire af- terneon or Sunday morning to play golf. Most men have not the time. It is usually a choice between the practice of a condensed system of training or nothing.

 In the same way athletes are not always in training or in competition. Then what of their health and fit ness during the intervals? In so many cases when athletes have fin ished their careers of competition, they have given up physical training entirely And in any case athletic specialization does not usually cover all the requirements of scientific phys ical training, for it lacks the cogrec- tive feature;
 Practically speaking, therefore, the shorthand Set-up," or something like it, is needed by every one for the sake of keeping fit. It is an ideal sys- tenn for women inasmuch as it gives suppleness without strain. - Walter Camp in July, 1918, Physical Culture.

A SHORTHAND
 SYSTEM OF SET-UP

When the writer went to Washing ton last Summer to establish "Cab- inet Class" he was fully convinced that through the efforts of Admiral Grayson the President was the fit test" man of great responsibilities in the Capitol. And he had been made so and was being kept so by a. simple common sense program of exercises which in no way took vitality out of him but which constantly renewed that vitality. The President was us- ing those twisting and turning motions of the trunk intended to keep him in good health, relieve congestion, and at the same time, make him not less desirous but rather more desirous of his golf or his horseback riding. In deed, Admiral Grayson had practi- cally made over the President by these simple flexions, twisting and turnings.
 The same theory prevails in this shorthand System of Set-up' that is now coming so largely into use both ir naval stations and through hundreds of communities in this country, Ali ter all 1t is the "enSine'' that counts and not the tires, And Bolin, the Swedish authority for twenty-five years, reached an honest conclusion when he said that setting-up exercises for the arms or legs or even the pee toral muscles were useless. A mans or boys legs and arms are, as a rule good enough for his calling and it i: far better that he use these in hi: baseball, foeotball, tennis and gol1 than that he should waste time upor | them in "setting-up" exercises, SO called, In fact. setting-up exercise! should be, as a rule, preparatory preparatory to the days work or play What these should accomplish is tht

General Gaidka and the Czechs in

that the United States would help them
with an army. Admiral Kolchak has
been informed officially that our troops
would not be sent, but the newspapers
are prevented from publishing this in
formation or any explanation. Mean

press similar to one yesterday that 600.-
600 Americans were being shipped to

weather is between 20 and 30 degrees

this is the first genuine supply train
to reach this part OF Russia. and the
population does not understand this,
after all the promises America made.
Summarizing, this is the situation:
The Allies are apparently pursuing a

Treves, Dec Q.
A battalion of American infantry has
entrained at Treves and left for Cob
lenz to maintain order ahead Of the
arrival Of the main Third Army forces.
The last German forces were to cross the
Rhine yesterday.
The German command sent request
to the American army's advanced gen.
eral headquarters here, asking that a
police force be sent to Coblenz to pre-
vent disturbances between the departure
of the retiring German army and the
arrival Of our army A battalion of the
Thirty Infantry of the Fourth Di-
vision was ordered to go to Coblenz,
and thus American soldiers have by this
time arrived at that city four days ahead
OF the schedule.
The German request contained no
mention OF disturbances. We have no
information OF disorders. II Is known
that In the industrial city OF Coblenz
there is a Bolshevist faction against
which not only the Allied command but
the German command and workmcn's
council stand determined.
The American police force leaving was
expected to reach the Rhine city at noon
yesterday.
No disturbances of any kind have
occurred at Treyes or any territory oc-
cupled by the American forces. There
is much less friction between the Ger
man population and the Americans than
there was between the population and
German army when II passed through

Board Secretary
PORT NOT REPRESENTED
Men Comprising Body Han.
ding Business Have Manhat.
tan Interests, Is Charge

The loss of the quartermaster ship
, ments through this port may be attri'
! buted directly to the fact that Phila'
delpfiia had no representation on the
ship control committee.
This is the belief of william r. Tucker
secretary of the Philadelphia Board OF
Trade, who formed his opinion after con.
sulting certain authorities that control
shipments.
In q statement issued from the Board
of Trade this afternoon, Mr. tucker
calls attention to the fact that the COM
mittee Is made up of men with New
York interests and who, II not directly
antagonistic TO the port OF philadelphia,
at least have displayed no interest in
its advancement
The trade association official states
that the other shipping directors were
in touch with the situation, and knew
the contemplated action of the ship
control committee regarding quarter
master shipments and made fights for
their port. But as philadelphia did not
have a man with inside knowledge of
the workings of the committee 1t was
impossible to forestall this action.
Sweeping denial that charges for load
ing Government transports at this port
are excessive and that the work was
done in an inefficient manner, was made
todsy by Daniel T. Murphy. Jr., head
of the stevedore company in this city
which handled the Government ship
ments.
In addition, George ]. Hane. who has
fulfilled the bulk of the packing con-
tracts for transports that left this port
declared the cost of such work to be
one-quarter less here than at any other
port.
Both men say they are at loss to ex-
plain the statement attributed to Major
General Goethals, that charges for
handling Government freight at this
port are unnecessarily high and for that
resson Philadelphia is to be abandoned
as an army shipping center.
"The business Of handling cargo on
the United states army transports, load
ing at Philadelphia for overseas, has
been handled efficiently and by men
who know what they are doing" said
Mr.. Murphy. The charges made are
lies"
