DIR. Joseph A. Raycroft, Princeton's
director Of physical education. has
come to a defense of the athletes
of the past in an article in the Daily
Princetonian. Asked to compare the
plesent-day athletes with those of the
golden 0O's," the Princeton director
had this to say: Il do not think that
in any sport, such as football, the
average man of the present needs or
possesses any greater intellect than the
players of 20 years ago. l played foot.

The athlete then had just as quick
wits as any man today" However,
Doctor Raycroft declared emphatically
that many more young men in the Twen-
tieth century engage actively in sports
than was the case in other days. Hence
he believes that the modern boy is
stronger and healthier.

Immense, immense! That is the word
which best expresses Marshal Foch's
impression Of the United States He
kept repeating it as, in the none too
rapid special from Havre to Paris,
he reviewed his visit to America. That
he had got very much in the way of
enjoyment out Of it there was no
doubt, but neither could there be any
doubt Of the pleasure the peaceable-
looking marshal felt at having the
soil of France once more beneath his
feet. Yet, travelling thus leisurely
across the doux pays de France, he was
no doubt thinking Of the future, and
OF that immense country he had just
left, it's wealth and it's ideals.

scores of other measures with the
November elections waiting to act as
q probable scale to determine the DO

In the face of the almost daily
frightening program, Republican
leaders virtually have forgotten their
previous June adjournment goal and
many now are talking Of July as the
w1nd-up date.
The treaties are to be paramount
in the Senate and the bonus bill in
the House, broadly speaking, during
the next few weeks, with the prob
ability Of the tariff bill being report
ed to the Senate within ten days or
two weeks. Republican leaders hope
to dispose of all of the treaties be-
fore taking up the tariff or bonus bills
In the Senate. Appropriation bills,

Sentiment Swinging Behind Lead.
ers Who Are Urging Adoption
of Sales Tax.
TO FIGHT FOR PROGRAM
Revival Of 1920 Battle, When First
Bonus Bill Was Presented, Fore
cast it Committee Reports Pro-
ject Favorably for Passage.

Washington-The soldiers bonus
situation continues to be so uncertain
that Republican leaders still were I'm.
prepared to venture even a guess as
to what plan Of financing ultimately
would be accepted. It was understood
TO be their disposition to let the ques-
ton simmer while longer in the
hope that sentiment would so shape
itself as to facilitate the task of those
who will frame the measure.
1t has developed that beneath the
surface of tho storm which has
"raged' around President Harding's
suggestion that the bonus be financed
by a sales tax, there has been a lot
OF quiet talk in support of the pro-
posal advanced by some leaders last
week. That the legislation be made a
general charge against the treasury,
with expected savings through cuts in
regular appropriation bills relied on
for the financing of a portion of the
initial cost.
Favored at First.
When first suggested by Represen-
tative Mondell of Wyoming, the ma
jority House leader, this proposal
seemed to meet with considerable ia.
vor among the rank and file in the
House, but the idea became all but
submerged by the wave of talk that
swept through cloakrooms and CORR
doris after the Presidents letter to
Chairman Fordney Of the ways and
means committee, reached the capitol
Irrespective Of the bonus, there ap.
parently was determination in the
House to reduce sharply the estimates
for both the navy and the army and
that possibly 100000 900 would be cut
out of the supply bills for those de-.
partments alone. Such a sum, it was
said, would go long way toward
meeting the first years cost of the
cash payments to the former service
men.
II such tax is proposed to a party
conference, the opponents assert they
will renew the fight which has been
waged successfully in a similar con-
ference in 1920 when the first bonus
bill vas presented with a sales tax
attached. Failing to win in the eau
Gus, they declare their fight would
be carried to the floor of the House,
with the expectation of almost solid
support from the Democrats.

STATE EXCEPTIONS !. ARE DISCUSSED AT [ HEARING ON RATES
Barham Concludes Testimony on Freight Charges at At- lanta = Carriers Urge :.
 Uniform Mileage Scale
By Associated Press

Atlanta, May 25.-Charles H. Bar ham, general freight agent of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, concluded his testimony at the freight rate hearings here today, with further arguments in support of a class rate scale based upon first class rate of S1.60 from Ohio river crossings to Atlanta. $1.03 to Nash- vile and with many proposals for specific rates.
 State exceptions to the southern rate elassifications were discussed during the afternoon by two other railroad witnesses. G. D. Boulineau general freight agent of the Atlanta and West Point railroad and the Georgia railroad, spoke upon the eff fects of Alabama, Georgia and North and South Carolina exceptions, and H. R. Wilson, traffic manager of the Mississippi Central railroad. dealt with state exceptions in the Missis- sippi valley territory.
 Cancellation of all such exceptions in his territory was asked by Mir. Wilson, while MT. Boulineau sought discontinuance of such exceptions for all carload freight and for all less than car load items down to Class D.
 MT. Boulineau said there are 6S exception sheets to southern classif- cation in addition to separate state exceptions In Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi.
 There Is discrimination and eonfu- sion as a result of the situation. MT Boulineau declared, and In urging adoption of the southern classified tion he asserted these specifications are complete and that those shown in the exception sheets are meagre.
 Urge Uniform Mileage
 The hearing which is being held by Joseph B. Eastman of the inter- state commerce commission and at- tended by members of state railroad commissions of the south, still was occupied today with the proposals in behalf of the carriers who arc urg- ing a uniform mileage scale.

n STEWART N CO.'S LETTER

Birmingham, May 25.--LiverppoI came over easier than expected this morning, however, with fairly good sales of 12.000 bales and good reports from the spot situation there, cables stating good business was doing in spots and spinners were active, The weather was better over the entire cotton region. The markets ruled auiet and narrow today, being the dullcst witnessed since the recent ad- vance was started on Texas rains. Tho opening was 10 points under last night and was depressed 10 points further on selling orders. Buying of the July option against sales of new crop months was a noted feature. Prices rallied to the best of the day in the last hour on advices from the Carolinas that the mill demand was more general than for several months and that the basis continued to harden. Wall Street was good buyer near the close as well as the early shorts, who ran to cover, bring ing the final figures to the close of last night. Though quiet today. the market maintains a firm undertone and purchases made on reactions seem the best.--S. R. Stewart & Go.

Washington, May 25.-A picture Of steadily revivlng business activity throughout the country is drawn by Secretary Davis in a statement to- day based on reports of employment conditions to the department of la bor. The reports indicate that unem- ployment has been practically elim- mated" in New York state, the secre- tary said that it has been reduced more than 50 per cent it. the past three months in Pennsylvania, while the swan song of business depres- sion" has given way to cheerful note of improved industrial activity in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michi- gan, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri.
 There is unmistakable evidence of improved industrial conditions pre- vailing on the Pacific coast" NIT. Davis said, while in the south the re- ports show steady improvement in Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, and that practically no unemployment now exists in North Carolina.
