Men OF the type OF Baron Hirsch are mora
numerous in this country than everyday peo-
pie imagine. To tho man who has to put in
most Of his timc in the struggle for existence,
1t seems odd that there should b. men who are
willing to sacrifice everything they have In the
world for even the slightest social recognition.

1t is worth noting that in country which is
notable for its all-around love OF sport like
America fencing has never yet succeeded In

Of sport from Scotland. Germany and. indeed,
