Mr.. Osborne said that he was well

that he cannot be destroyed but he
must be punished. He said that TO

never created something he could

Maine Track Assn.
Discusses State Meet

The Maine Intercollegiate Track as
ISOLATION held a meeting Saturda!
morning at the Elmwood hotel. The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss
plans for the State meet held IN Wa
terville probably some time in May.
Several men were named as pos
sibilities for officials in the meet but
none were chosen for certainty. Inc
half and quarter races will be
run party on the 220 yard straight
away and partly on the oval track.
This will make it better for both con-
testants and spectators as there will
be only one curve on the quarter and
three curves on the l,alf mile. This
will partly eliminate the man at the
pole and ought to make the races
faster.
1t was also decided at the meeting
that the representatives put it be-
men place in the events instead OF
three. The purpose of having the
first four men place is to arouse more
interest in the colleges among the
men of lesser ability by giving more
! men a chance to score. This ought
| to make the meet more interesting
and more closely contested as the col
! lege who does not have many stars
can pile up more points. This will
| make the total Of points scored in an
event ten, five for first, three for sec
! ond, two for third and one for fourth
! place. This matter viii be brought W

will be held on Friday, April 14th, in

DIR. Libby Outlines
Debating Team Aims

DR.. Herbert c. Libby, head of the
department of public speaking of col.
lege, addressed the student body of
Colby at the morning chapel exercises
Saturday morning for the purpose of
giving everyone thorough idea of
the plans of the Colby debating team
that started Saturday afternoon on a
trip through The middle west.
DR.. Libby said that the purpose of
taking four men was to give one man
a rest each night. 1t will be a great
strain on the men to debate night after
night without a let up. and besides
that some of the days will have to be
spent in travel. The men go well pre-
pared on their subject but they are
liable run against arguments they
had not thought of. This means more
study and research in the libraries
along the way.

cause in proportion to the population.
the total number of deaths from or

oOo, while for 1919 the number is es-

Hectic Life in Panam,

Colonel Albert X. Lamb, Chief OF
the National Police of Panama, fol-
lowing his arrival at the Hotel I'M
pcrial the other day. described how
he had led the expedition of Pana-
mans against the Costa Ricans last
February. and how he had almost
lost his life at the close Of the opera
tons when box car Of ammunition
in which he was riding with members
OF his staff, was backed off the pier
into the waters Of the Port OF Ped
regal Two Colonies and a Captain
were drowned. while Colonel Lamb
and an aide. who went to the bottom
with the car, CROPPED around until
they found an open side door, rose TO
the surface and swan ashore. Colo
mel Lamb suffered broken leg.
Colonel Lamb explained that the
National Police Of Panama, about
600 men and that country's sole
military force was whipped into
shape by himself beginning in, 1917.
He was member of the Washington
police force. and when Panama,
through the State Department,
sought American help in -eorsaniz
ing her police. Major Pullman OF the
Washington police force sent Colonel
Lamb to Panama.
He found a police force Of about
900 nondescripts. These he reduced
to 500 and equipped with khaki and
parade uniforms, a. well as with pis-
tolls and clubs for the regular patrol
men, and Krag-Jorgensen rifles for
the mounted force. Colonel Lamb
now hopes to increase the force to
$50 men. and u bill has been intro
duced with this provision.
Colonel Lamb said that when the
expedition Of ESQ Costa Ricans in
motor launches stole through GuIfo
Dulce and started their invasion
near the city of Coto. they little
knew the strength Of the temper of
the Panaman police. In the engage
ments on Feb. IS and March 2, he
said. the Costa Ricans lost thirty-five
killed and more than 200 taken pris-
oner. They were detained until the
United States interviewed.
Colonel Lamb believes there will be
no further expeditions. He spoke in
the highest praise Of President Por-
ras. who. he said. was a great friend
of the United States.
