URGES ALL STUDENTS TO
 TAKE PART IN SPORTS
Compulsory Participation is AdNo- cated By Alumni Board to
 University Trustees.

Philadelphia. July 9 tPl-Compu'- sorry participation of all students Of the University of Pennsylvania in a comprehensive sports program was urged by Charles A, Dave in the annual report of the general alumni board to the trustees of the univer- sity.
 The report. made public today, also advocates yearly physical eX- aminations of each undergraduate.
 Tt is recommended" said the re- port, that those students not par ticipating in competitive sports be compelled to qualify in gymnastics, wrestling. boxing. swimming and basketball. The advantages of such a balanced course of physical edu- cation are too obvious to need con- ment.
 ''The report of the committee shows that Of some 4,0oO men who came under the supervision of the department of physical education less than 10 per cent were interest cd in and participated in swimming. basketball boxing or wrestling."

that burned for five days. Both the castle and the cathedral are grim structures with little exterior orna- ment. The cathedral has a long, narrow vaulted interior and most of the immense treasure which was once kept there has disappeared.
 Part of the castle is now a museum and is furnished with pieces Of old Finnish furniture. Visitors can still see the dungeon, six fathoms deep and black as pitch where prisoners were kept. In the great central hall is a high gallery from which a cruel ruler once had unruly subjects hurled to the floor below. One cell in the castle is still known as the Malefactor's Resting Place"

spot in Turku. Every morning at $ o'clock peasants and peddlers arrive to set up stalls and booths in the immense square in the middle of the town which serves as the mar ket. Some come in wagons md some in boats. The latter can come up the River Aura and land in the streets nearby. Commerce is rife until noon. After that the stalls are bundled up and the square is de- serted except for stray pedestrians.
 An unusual feature in Tarku's food is furnished by the mourning cakes which the city's bakers cook for distribution at funerals They are wrapped in black crepe and tied with black ribbon. The variety of cakes in Turku pastry shop in ad- dition 10 these somber tidhits, would bewilder an American baker.

 'rurku has an anomalous position. It is f'inland's first and second city. In population and commerce it is second to the present capital, Hcl- singfors. In culture and learning it is first. Finland's first university was located there and at present there are two such institutions, one for speaking and one for Swedlsh-speaklng students.
 ''Turku was Finland's first capi- tal Christianity was first taught there and the first Christian converts were baptized in the River Aura. The oldest castle in Finland are to be found in Turku and nearly all the historic homes of the Finnish nobility are in or near the city.

Washington, D. C., July 10,-A bo, Finlands former capital, has been celebrating it's 7O0th anniversary.
 Turku, former capital of Finland. has (to the confusion of the news paper-reading public) been celebTat- ing its 700th anniversary.

 "Abo, or Turku lies on the south western coast of Finland where the Aura rlVer empties into the Baltic sea. The city is almost bisected by the narrow. yellow Aura. which is dotted with all kinds of craft; steam CTS, trawlers. motor boats and white sailed market boats, many of which are painted a bright red" says the bulletin. Although it has more than 6O0Oo people Turku is a quiet place where the Films walk leisure ly along the cobble- stoned streets and throngs of people such as rush down American thoroughfares are unknown. The streets are traversad by single-track trolley cars and the street lights hang from tall, white, handsomely carved standards.

Firms Would Make
Language Official

Sweden Is keeping an attentive eye
fixed on the growing pro-FinniSh stu
dent movement whose object is to make
Finnish the one official language of
Finland and to eliminate completely the
use of Swedish, which now has an equal
footing.
A strong effort is being made to de-
clare Finnish official at Helsingfors uni
versity. an institution founded by the
Swedes and in which nothing but Swed-
ish was taught and spoken until the
middle of the last century. This ma
tionalist or patriot" movement was
begun in 1850 when Finland was under
Russian domination and since the little
country was granted its independence
in 1917 1t has gained new force. AL
though the Swedes actually lost con-
troll of Finland at the time of the Ma
poleonic wars, the upper class has
always remained largely Swedish
In their own language, said to be one
of the most difficult to master. the
Firms see a means of eliminating
foreigners from power and If 1t Is made
official the Swedes will almost auto
matically disappear from the active par
ticipation in government administration
or educational institutions. The Fin
nish army regulations now require
officers of Swedish birth to speak Fin
nish in the presence of their troops and
all commands, formerly given in Swed-
ish. must now be given in Finnish.
Very recently all names OF railroad sta
tions in the country were painted owe:
and changed to Finnish.

who feel offended and mortified In
their most sacred sentiments as it is
trying and unsatisfactory for those who
are responsible for the maintenance OF
order and for the observance of strict
and impartial Justice between the con-
fiicting claims of rival religious ana
racial communities in Palestine. This
remedy, as already recognized by the
Zionist organization in a similar though
not so critical, circumstance in 1926. as
again implied in the concluding para
graph of the present petition, and as
repeatedly emphasized by the repre-
sentative of the mandatory power, can
be found only by common agreement
between the Jewish and MoSlem COM
munities.
Anything that may facilitate and
hasten the conclusion of such an agree
ment will be warmly welcomed by the
Mandates Commission, who, on the
other hand. unanimously deprecate
anything that might prevent or re-
tard It,
For this reason the commission,
while profoundly deploring not only the
most regrettable incidents above refer
red to, but also the circumstances, both
distant and immediate, which led to
and surround them. and the serious
repercussionS to which they have given
rise, deliberately refrain from passing
censure on any of those whose acts or
omissions may have contributed to pro-
yoke or embitter them. Such incidents
cannot but imperil the peace and pros
perity of Palestine as whole and to
aggrieve all those the world over to
whom Palestine Is dear and sacred.
1.-THE Mandates Commission therefore
confidently hopes that no effort will be
spared for the promotion of fair and
friendly agreement, which alone can
prevent the recurrence of such Incl
dents
For that purpose IL Is not sufficient
that the Palestine government allow it
to be known that they are prepared If

Text of Report. ~
The Mandates Commissions report
which was adopted, and which is being
held for final action by the League
Council reads:
Geneva. November 8, 1928.
Permanent Mandates Commission:
Petition, dated October IL, 1923, re-
lating to the incidents which occurred
at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, Sep
TENDER "a, 1923, from Zionist organiza-
ton
THE petition Mandates Commission
have taken cognizance of the petition
dated october IL, 1928, relating to the
incidents which occurred at the Wall
ing Wall at Jerusalem on September "a,
1928, from the Zionist organization, as
well as of the comments of his ma
jesty's government on the memorial
from the Zionist organization dated
October IL, 1928 fand other annexes).
The commission have carefully con-
Sidered the various points of fact and
of law raised in these documents. They
have been gratified to note that there
have been no essential discrepancies
between the statements placed before
them by the petitioners on the one
hand and the authorities responsible
for the administration of Palestine on
the other Although differently pre-
sented and variously stressed, the in
cidents are in these documents
related in a manner so clear and so
complete that no uncertainty Is LEFT
in the mind of the careful reader as
to what actually took place. There is
what would seem to be full agree
ment also between the petitioners anc
the authorities as to the only possible
method of renedying the present sit
uation-a situation as painful for those

approached by both parties to act as
Intermediates, as they did on pre-
vious occasion. E. 1t would seem ex-
pedient. and indeed imperative, that
they take active steps to induce the
two conflicting parties to reach vol
untary agreement, and that both Jews
and Moslems respond with a sincere
desire for settlement based upon a
full and equal regard for the moral and
material interest of all concerned. .
The commission earnestly hopes that
neither party will, through unreason-
able demands or intolerant refusals,
assume the responsibility of rendering
impossible the achievement of just
settlement"
In summing up its report the Man
dates Commission warns that should it
be impossible at the moment to bring
about settlement it considers 1t i'm
peratiye that temporary adjustments be
promptly made and that mo disturb
ances be attempted or tolerated"

New Electric Train
Service i'm Morocco

Moroccos economic growth, as well
as the country's increasing attractive
ness for tourists, is emphasized by the
newly instituted electric train service
between the port of Casablanca and
Marrakech
This modernization, which first be-
came available to travellers with its in
auguration recently by Sultan Moulai
Yussef and Theodore Steeg, French
resident general, represents the third
step in Morocco's Identification project
One hundred and fifty miles long, the
railway links the Mediterranean with
the foot of the Atlas Mountains, con-
meets the biggest Moroccan port with
the gates of The Sahara Desert. About
100 miles, comprising two separate
lines. had already been electrified, thus
making total of 270 in the gradual ex-
! tension of electrically operated railways
contemplated for the whole Of the
French possession.
