ATHLETES Cl
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, May 24. — That ath
letlc training and sport are not en
tlrely eliminated by either war or mill
lary drilling is being demonstrated
frequently these days both at home
and abroad. Reports from the fron!
and at the various training camps
carry repeated mention of athletic con
tests, both team and individual, and
the dnily physical exercise necessary
to harden the men for the more seri
ous work of modern warfare.
A writer in one of the leading Eng
llsh papers devoted to sport, states
that the British home defence army
has attained a point of efficiency
which would make the invasion ol
England an utter and absolute folly
whether the attempt were made from
the sea or air. He claims that the
fighting men there are of the right
sort, those who do not grasp a novelty
and a uniform.
The salient feature of the new army,
he says, is its sporting side, (lames
of all sorts appeal irresistibly to of
ficers and men alike, and he describes
as especially pleasing their fraterniz
ing dally in the sporting arenus. He
emphasizes the fact that while abso
lute equality is observed in the sev
eral arenas no lack of discipline Is
shown or attempted by the enlisted
men while away from the athletic
field. During the games, whether try
ing conclusions with the boxing gloves,
finishing a close cricket match or con
tending for mastery at all-round ath
letics, the excitement at times is in
tense. The writer goes on to say that
during these struggles the soldiers
readily sum up the character of their
officers, and the officer who excels
in sport gains a very valuable asset—
the esteem and confidence of the men
under him.
If for nothing else, therefore, the
writer Rays, the army's sporting side
is to be commended for the confidence
it establishes and he Is convinced that
after the war, all round sport will be
resumed on a scale unprecedented
even In Great Britain. Judged by gen
eral results, he asserts, the drill-sport
curriculum has proved Invaluable and
the off duty enfcuslasm for sport Is
proof of the InJpsUy of the passion
Graduate treasurer of athletics,
Ered W. Moors, of Harvard Univer
sity, touched upon the same subject,
although from a different angle, re
cently when lie wrote:
“Owing to the suspension of Inter
collegiate contests, It Is the plan of
the athletic association to promote
and encourage intro-collegiate sports,
so far as possible, without interfering
with military preparation. Until the
plans of the authorities take definite
form, however. It is impossible to or
ganize regular competitions. These
will probably take the form of Inter
class and scrub contests, and there Is
no reason why these teams cannot ar
range occasional informal games or
races with local outside organizations.
“It has been the experience of Eng
land and Canada, both at their uni
versities and with their armies in the
field, that it is not desirable to cut
out athletic sports, however serious
the situation. With a long period of
preparation before us, It is decidedly
hit last evening. This show proved
very popular to a large crowd, and
you should not miss it.

TOKTO, May 24. — Marquis Okuma
has declared himself In opposition to
Japan's ratification of China's pro|>o I
sal to increase the Chinese customs
tariff. He voices the opposition of the
Japanese business interests, who as
sert that the proposed Increase will
prove a great blow to Japan's export
trade.
China advanced the proposition as a
"desire" in connection with the pour
parlers over her formal entrance Into
the war with the United States on the
side of the entente powers.
Japanese manufacturers claim the
increase will especially harm the sale
of cotton yarn and cotton cloth, which
form the hulk of Japan’s exports to
China.
