...indications now are that the present arrangement will be retained. The second University eight, however, was somewhat rearranged yesterday. John Codman '22 went from bow to stroke, H. R. Atkinson '22 going from 5 to take his place at bow, and L. B. La Farge '22 shifting from port to starboard to take Atkinson's place...
...practices that prevailed in the Philippines before these reforms were inaugurated were so suicidal that it was only a wonder that the ships lasted as long as they did. There were no fixed schedules. When news got about that some port had a lot of freight several ships would race for it. And if any ship looked in at a harbor where some unfortunate producer had perishable freight at the water front, some rascally officer might decline to take it, alleging lack of space, and then purchase the goods at bargain prices when the frantic owner tried to realize something...

Japan has already seized Vladivostok, from which it is unlikely that she will be driven by Russia; she has Port Arthur, Darien, the South Manchurian coast, and Shantung and the adjoining part of the Northern Chinese coast. The province of Chientao is the only remaining gap in the control of all the Northern Asia coast. And it is just at Chientao that the bandits broke out in lawlessness which demands...
