Intelligently 'as the cautious and reserv-

ment In the White House that, after
convening the conference here, if the
plenipotentiaries were Oppressed by the
heat, they probably would adjourn to

has aroused the hopes of the envoys of

the coming conference are M. Jusser-

who has planned to sj end his leave In
Germany, and Sir Mortimer 'Dtirand, the
British ambassador, who had already
closed his embassy when the prelimi-
nary negotiations necessitated his re-

SURPRISE IN THE INQUIRY.
President James says the result of his
Inquiry will undoubtedly cause much sur-
prise to the men who declare the college
athlete develops into the vigorous man
who does things. Continuing President
James says:
The lives of English and American
athletes have been Investigated. In Eng-
land It haa been easy to follow the
"stars" after they left school, an the
alumni of the big university are kept
track of carefully. Here the task haa
been more difficult, because many of the
"cracks" have disappeared. Besides, the
sfrenuous training of American athletes
door sports. I am opposed to the present
methods, where, at fc)te University of
Illinois, out of 2,500 students, sixty men
appear to train for the football team,
and after untold hardships of training
eleven are picked to represent the ool-
lege. The only exercise a ma>wity of
the 2.600 students gets Is in rooting.
"This Is wrong and should not be per-
mitted. Fortunately things have gone
to such an extreme that. a reaction Is
bound to set In. and sport* will bo con-
ducted on more rational lines, so ps to
include more students and to eliminate
the great strain on the leading athletes.
"While I am not ready to clt4 figures
proving my assertions, I muat say that
my Investigations havr shown athletics In
a bad light. It is often asserted that
the sucoessful athlete brings Into his
after life a courage and reserve strength
which makes him eminently successful.
Tills Is not the ease.
OXFORD RECORD IS CITED.
"Ffcw of the winners of the Oxford
Cambridge foot raoes, records of which
are available for over 100 yoars, ever
achieved more than moderate success.
Frequently they were left physical wrecks
and seldom they escaped without some
physical Injury. The strokes on the boat
crews present the samo history. Few but
what carry the marks of the terrible
strain all through their lives.
The conditions In this country are the
same as those In England. Here, as a
rule, a boy begins playing football ln
the high school. He goes through four
years of severe training and upon en-
tering the university, the hard work Is
doubled. He goes to a" training table
and for months undergoes severe phys-
ical strain. If he 1s a good player this
Is kept up fo" four years more. The
athlete's heart Is frequently badly strain-
ed. and the work tells upon the strongest
constitution.
In after 1 We. when the body should be
strongest, the undermined system col-
lapses and the athlete fills an early grave
from 1 veart disease, consumption or some
otiirr diseases Induced by overexertion.
OfOrnrs Censured.
Ix ndon, June 16- A blue book contain-
ing a report of the war commission hntul-
Lsieutcnant-<leneral Sir Francis
Butler, was issued today. It fully con-
firms the forema-st of the report cabled
to the Associated Press June J. showing
that the improper disposal of military
stores at the conclusion of the South
African war had revealed a huge scandal.
The import censures a number of officers
are alleged to have worked in col-
lusion with contractors. The
bought stores at absurdedly low prices
and afterward resold them to the military
authorities at enormous profits. The
value of the stores involved In these
transactions is between S30.OftO.OM and
$36,000,000. The officers involved all be
long to the army service corps and pay
departments.

Mr. Pine hot and Mr. Garfield are rich

always been recognised that they re-
main in the government service beca ise
of mixed feelings of patriotism and love
for tho public service prestige, as oppos-

Is, perhaps, nearer to President Roosevelt
