New York, Dec. 23.-Adopting the
same systematic methods which
athletic authorities proved
successful in the past, European ma
tons are preparing for the Olympic
games of 1920 in a thorough manner
which bodies no easy victory for the
United States athletes in the inter-
national track meet at Antwerp, Bel
gium next August. Campaigns for
the development Of teams, collection
of funds and other important details,
essential to success in such an elabor-
at undertaking, are already under
way, aided in several cases by govern
ment supervision and subsidies.
No better example may be cited
that the plans and arrangements of
the French which involve q generous
use of the army methods and systems.
Three classes remain modified of the
great army Of France at the present
time. They are the class of 1917;
boys aged %; that of 1918; aged 81;
and the class of 1919, youths of 20.
Thus the flowers of the French rae
physically and from an athletic point
of view remains under arms. They ara
distributed in various garrison, towns
and departments of France. It is
from among those three classes that
athletic France expects to rex ruit thir-
ty or forty first class athletes to add
to the already fair quota of men who
are slated to represent France at Ant
werp.
The following program has been de-
'cided upon by the athletic directors Of
the French army at the head of whom
is Colonel See, Chief of the Joinville
School Of Athletics for the French
army. Elimination trials will be con-
Quoted in every regiment of the above
three classes, each soldier making a
speciality of the sport for which he has
shown the greatest inclination and to
which he has been pronounced fttes..
by the doctor of the regiment. These
trials will occur after three. four and
perhaps six months Of preparatory
training under the eye of An athletic
director. Soldiers who have shown
class warranting their undergoing
further training will be picked out and
directed to Of the large centers
nearest their billet: Strasburg, Lyons,
Marseilles, Bordeaux and Paris.
Men Chosen Will Arrive in Spring.
According to the schedule adopted,
the men chosen al being worthy of
further trial will reach their various
headquarters sometime in the spring.
Then semi-finals will be held in Stras-
burg, Lyons, Marseilles and bordeaux
and it will be a cas- Of the survival
of the fittest. These will be sent to
Jomville, near Paris, where the final
touch will be put to their preparation.
Fifty chiefs Of battalions are just
nov finishing a special course Of train
ing at the Joinville School and in a
few weeks will be disseminated
among the garrison towns of France
to commerce the training of the men
and officers. {

that by using oil the expenses of fuel
will be enormously cut.

The International Mercantile Ma

war parts as transports.

ing line. The Panama Railroad Steam
ship company, operated BY the gov
eminent, is about to install the sys-
TEN on the Ancon and Cristobal. Fur
ness, Witty & Co. are reconstructing
the Fort Hamilton and Fort Victoria
with White oil burners, for service be-
tween this port and Bermuda. This
company already has placed White oil
burners on the Achilles and Ulysses.
The shipping board has ordered in
stallation of oil fuel systems on the
Aeolus, DeKalb, Huron, Amphion, Su-
vance and Otsego.
The government today operates 4S6
vessels that use oil as fuel, with a
total lightweight tonnage Of 3,798, 1873.
In addition there are 40 oil-bprning
freighters that have been turned back
to their pre-war owners by the ship
ping board, besides is others that have
been sold by the shipping board. OF
720 vessels now under construction
for the board, 636 are to be oil burn
ers, aggregating in lightweight tonnage
4.601, 1850.
Many Advantages In OIL.
Asked by a reporter for The World
the advantages of oil over coal q
shipping expert said:
"Oil requires less bunker space for
q given steaming radius. It can be
carried between double bottoms and
In other places where neither coal nor
cargo can be stored. The space saved
q be used by freight-paying cargo.
"Bunkering can be effected with
greater dispatch and is not interfered
with by darkness OF weather. Dirt
and other discomforts attending the
loading and use Of coal are missing
with oil. There Is no need Of machin-
cry such as is required for handling
ashes. Sticking is eliminated, reduc-
ing the number Of men necessary.
Uniform steam pressure is more cas-
lily maintained, insuring q steady rate
Of speed and reducing the degree Of
deterioration of furnaces and boilers
resulting from uneven temperatures"
