There Is an unusually heavy pro-

are as follows: - -,
The renewal Of the Anglo-Japanese

Relation Of the empire as whole

England used to talk sof the Berman

advantage Of the pre-occupations OF
Europe to, consolidate her own posi-

power of the possessions of Germany
in the North Pacific has made her a
nearer neighbor. Canada has her own
Japanese problem on the Pacific

California is considered the dark

fered by the Pacific Coast crew in the
mile and three quarter race. with
Princeton, the experts think favor;
ably of the strength and power Of the
Blue and Gold crew in long race.
Cornell is figured to have a chance;
because the Ithacans have been prim-
ed especially for this race. Syracuse
and Pennsylvania are not figured to-
give the others much opposition.
The race this year marks the re-
turn of the classic to the old battle
grounds on the Hudson. Last year
