Miss Gertrude Ederle, the American
girl swimmer, failed in her attempt
to swim the English Channel last
Tuesday. She made remarkable time
for the distance she reached, but had
to succumb because of seasickness
and nausea, the latter induced by the
amount of salt water swallowed. She
did not however, show any of the un-
favorable symptoms that her sister
predecessors had done. She was haul
ed aboard the accompanying boat, laid
in the boiler room, where she fell into
a profound sleep.
She will probably try it again. Such
ambitions get into the blood; and,
like the steeple jack, the Artic ex-
plorer, the bridge jumper, the Niagara
Falls crazy man, the loopthe-loop air
man and such as these, the infection
is hard to eliminate from the system
Miss Ederle is reported to have
made the three-quarter distance in a
bout hours, and at the same rate
could have finished in little over
four more. The best that has been
done yet is 16 hours and 33 minutes.

The struggle for the supreme prize
in the Tennis world-the Davis cup
is now on. The mug is now in posses
sion of the United States, and with
such men as Tilden, Richards, John
son, and others to defend it, it is like
ly to stay on this side of the big ditch.
The Australians, in the elimination
contests, are rapidly disposing of the
ether nations, and the veterans of this
country bear watching.

Baltimore has been selected to stage
the Navy-Princeton foot ball game
the second time in succession, the
Maryland metropolis being the scene
of the big contest last year.
Baltimore has a wonderful stadium
with seating capacity of about
10000 people. This will be increased
for the coming grid epic, and it is
safe to say there will be- a demand
for seats which can not be satisfied.
This very demand induced the super
intendent of the Academy to with
draw from his first intention of re-
quiring the big game to be played at
Annapolis.
Princeton is a big favorite in Bal
timore. If there was no other senti-
ment there, the foot ball glamor sur
rounding the Poe family would be e.
nough to insure a tremendous gate.
But there are many Princeton Alumni
in the Monumental City, and the
university is greatly beloved by all
Baltimoreans.

Pyotr Petrovslxy, now seventy

en- objects, delicate china and old
paintings.
Like every noble family Of old
Russia, the Shuvaloffs had built
their palace with an eye to stormy
days. Apparently every Russian
nobleman believed that "the de
luge" might descend upon him at
any moment. Between the walls,
in the. brick work, down in the
cellar, in every palace, We're ar
ranged hiding places.
When the countess slipped over
the Finnish border, she felt con-
fident that her property was safe.
for she and her old servant Petrov-
sky had stored it all, and PetrOv-
sky had promised to remain.
The first blast of the revolution
blew old Pyotr out of the palace,
which was occupied Immediately
by government agents. Custodians
appointed to care for the newly
confiscated goods Of the nobility

mo nation is richer In natural

Naghi said. I'VE have oil, coal and

Formerly Russia constituted our
chief market. Russia now Is closed
to us and the British market has
failed because of the impossibly
high tariff rates imposed on our
products. But this handicap is one
which win be overcome in time.
Bound BY Tradition
..The younger Persian generation
Is a. progressive. intelligent and
capable as In any other nation.
The young men are bound hand
and foot, however, by the tradi-
tons OF their fathers. The old
people hold an iron grasp and
are slowing down the wheels of
progress. The present difficulties
in Persia are due to the conflict
between the new and the old.
An example of the manner in
which our young men are being
handicapped is found in our foreign
service. Here. although he may
have the most thorough education
and training I'm diplomatic pro-
cedure and though he may be
energetic and capable, the young
man must serve an apprenticeship
of seven years without pay. That
condition is found throughout
