London, April 4.
Cambridge's "Light Blue Crew" is again the fa- voured eight for the historic boat race, which takes place on Saturday. The Cambridge crew is very lively, works with a polish and well together, and its stroke has a perfect rhythm.
Oxford, on the other hand, has suffered from recent alternating of the order of the boat's crew and the breaking of oars which would scarcely pull their weight.
However, Oxford may win if the weather is rough, as they are rowing in orthodox style. Cambridge has created a precedent in using swivel row-locks and is rowing the Fairbairn style, which has resulted in their famous coach, Haig Thomas, refusing to advise them. He is coaching Oxford instead.
A. V. Sutcliffe, Oxford's stroke, į is probably the best man in the boat, and Cambridge's Number Sevan, J. H. T. Wilson, Pembroke, is a powerful and experienced man and is likely to play a big part in the contest.
The tee will start at 2.45 p.m. The crews are as follow:~-~-

LITTLE ENTENTE WILL FEAR FOR SECURITY
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinanes, 1804. Received, April 5, 0.16 a.m.)
Vienna, April 4.
It is learned on the best authority that Austria's Government will send an envoy to the conference of the former Allies at Stresa for the purpose of demand- ing cancellation of the restrictions upon her army, imposed by treaty.
It is learned that the Austrian Government will demand an army of 65,000 men, of whom 30,000 would be selected from the drafts secured by the new Con- scription Law, the promulgation of which has just been announced.
The St. Germain Treaty, at the present time, limits Austria's army to a strength of 30,000 regulars and long term enlistment and conscription are for- bidden the country.

It is expected that Hungary and Bulgaria will make similar demands at the Stresa Conference, seeking to double their fighting forces.
Turkey is the only remaining nation whose forces, the St. Ger- main Treaty restricted. And Turkey has never pretended to carry out the restrictions or the
provisions of the treaty.
It is feared that should Hungary and Bulgarin defy the Treaty Himitations, the Little. Entente would demand that the Power's find some solution which would give them security. Otherwise, it is more than likely that the nations of the Little Entente would proceed to take matters into their own hands, and either arm to the teeth or sock to prevent the ro arming of Bulgaria, Hungary-and- force.
