LONDON. June 2S-Captaln Sel- wyn Day is one of the best known of the mercantile marine officers and an A. D. c. to the King. He has been all through the mill at sea, and he says the trouble with the officers on the big Atlantic steamers nowadays, from captains down. is that they eat more than is good for them.
 Apprentices and junior officers in the passenger ships of today" he asserts. "all eat too rich food, too often, and in too large quantities Consequently, as they have no real physical labor to perform, at least 40 per cent of them are physically unfit. The great need of the service is for physical training and an ade quate course in practical seaman ship. There is much more need oi these things than for insistence on a higher educational tandard.
