London, Jan. 6. The liberal party,
which recently celebrated the eighth
anniversary of Its return to power,
now has tho honor of leading the af
fairs of the British Empire for . a
longer consecutive period than ' any
-party for nearly a hundred years. Pre
mier Asquith has now been in office
for over live and a half years, and in
April next. If his government survives
he will approach the record of Lord
Salisbury, whose second term of. office
lasted Just seven years.:
In his recent tour in . Lancashire
Mr. Asquith referred to his long term
and .the stormy times that his gov
ernment has weathered. Certainly It
has been an almost continuous -fight.
Finding early in his career that the
House of Lords would not pass any
of the legislation thathis followers
had set theih hearts on, Mr. Asquith
with courage which even his political
opponents credit as strong, under
took to clip the wings of the Upper
Chamber by restricting its power of
veto. That accomplished, he set
about passing the Home Rule and
Welsh Disestablishment b'lls, which
next session are te come lip for the
third time, and no matter what the
attitude of tht House" Lords Is,
will become law. The Government
will then press to get the bill to put
an end to plural voting likewise
passed for the third time and then go
to the country for an endorsement
of what It has done and a mandate to
carry licensing educational and land
reform.
The Liberals, therefore, have . us
much work ahead of them as they
havo accomplished in their eight
years of office.
When the party came into powor
in 1905 Mr. Bnlfour, then Prime Min
ister, found that bye-election after
by election web going against him and
and he decided to resign. He ohos3
he decided to resign.. He choose this
of Commons, benused he believed
that it would be either impossible for
the Liberals to form a cabinet, on ac
count of the split which had occurred
over the South African Waror if one
was formed it would be such as would
weaken instead . of strengthen the
Liberal Party. He had been badly in
formed, Six months before this a
meeting of Liberal leaders had been
held at which all differences were
sunk and the composition of Sir Hen
ry Campbell-Bannerman's cabinet
practically decided upon. When Mr.
Balfour's resignation was announced,
therefore, the Liberal leader was able
to inform fhe King that he could ac
cept the taBk of forming a ministry,
which he did forthwith, and the par
ty in the following January won an
unprecedented victory at the polls.
vention have physicians scored a
greater victory In their fight against
disease and death than on the Isth

help to build the canal; they demon

N'w York. Jan. 6. With the pass
ing of the holiday season the short
period of rest allowed the college
oarsmen is completed. From now un
til late in June the struggles for seats
in the racing shell and the daily train
ing grind will continue without inter
mission. Coaches are ov-'hauling
rowing machines, rigging barges and
generally preparing for 1914, which,
it is predicted, will be the greatest
college rowing year In the history of
sport. Eight universities or colleges
in the east, one in the middle west
and three on the Pacific coast have
already planned their rowijjg cam
paigns, wnich include a large number
of dual, triangular and inter-collegiate
title regattas than ever before
recorded in this country. Abroad Ox
ford and Cambridge are near the
halfway mark in their training for
their annual race, and their progress
is being closely watched by two of the
eastern universities in view-of a pos
sible international inter-'varsity re
gatta before mid-summer.
The eastern college rowing situation
considered as a whole, is one of the
most promising in recent seasons.
Aside from Columbia and Syracuse,
there are large and veteran squads
available at every institution which
advocates rowing. In almost every
case more than fifty per cent, of the
oarsmen who won their 'varsity letters
in 1913 regattas are trying for places
in the eights again and are supple
mented by excellent material from last
year's freshmen combinations. The
recent ruling of the intercollegiate
stewards providing for a race for sec
ond eights in place of tho fours on
the Hudson, will also provide extra
place of the fours on the Hudson, will
also provide extra places for the as
pirins sweepswingeri?. Under this rul
ing it will be necessary for those col
leges which desire to compete in all
three events on the Hudson to de
velop and seat twenty-four oarsmen in
the shells for the 'varsity, second and
freshmen races.
The open window has proved a help
in the fall practice and several of the
coaches report that their charges
were able to establish new records
for late autumn rowing during 1913.
Coach Courtney had six eights in the
water on December 6 and has planned
to send his crews out at every favor
able opportunity during the entire
winter. At Syracuse, Coach Ten Ecyk,
who has Just signed a five-year con
tract, is also planning for an early
season sl.i-t. If the board of stewards
of the I. r. A. will permit the students
of the forestry department to row for
the Orange, Ten Eyck's worries will
be eliminated. A stiff er proposi
tion faces Jim Rice at Columbia, for
the New York university squad ap
pears to grow smaller each year, and
Rice finds it difficult to secure even a
fair number of students physically
suited for the hard four-mile race
on the Hudson.
The situation at Pennsylvania and
Yale is much alike, in that both col
leges are working with new coaches.
At New Haven a trio, composed of
Richard Armstrong, captain of the
'9 5 crew; Guy Nicholls of England and
C. P. Giannlnl, recent New York Ath
letic club coach, will direct the work
of the Ell crewmen. At Philadelphia
Vivian Nicholls. a brother of Guy, has
replaced Ellis Ward, and the work of
these famous English oarsmen who
expect to develop a stroke combining
the best points of both the English
and American systems, will be watch
ed with Interest. At Harvard, Prince
ton and the United States Naval acad
emy there Is no change in the estab
lished order of coaching and reports
from all three Institutions are opti
mistic. Further west the University of Wis
consin Is preparing for another return
to the Hudson with a crew which
will prove fully as dungerous as that
of 1913. The lladgers are fortunate
In possessing a squad of heavy, power
ful candidates, with the 'varsity ma
terial drawn from the freshmen nnd
'varsity eights of last season. The
great sprint in the final mile of the
intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeep
lc last June has done much to re
store the confidence of tho western
college regarding their ability to row
na fast and fur as their eastern breth
ren. As a result, Washington, Cali
fornia and Stanford, In addition to
Wisconsin, are all looking forward to
the possibility of rowing on the Hud
son next spring. On the Pacific coast
all three university squads are In ac
tive training and heavy, powerful
eights are forecasted. The winner of
the Pacific Coast regatta will come
east to Poughkeepsle, as has been the
case during the past two years, and
there Is the bare possibility that all
three may ask for invitations, no
strong is the desire to show tho east
what the far coast crews can do with
thdl and sweep.
