THE Olympic games have not improved

1t should not have been necessary for

Thoughtful Men Get Serious.

Thoughtful men In England have Sc
rious doubts. and these doubts are be-
ing expressed in some of the most influ-
entail newspapers, whether the Olympic
games serve any gPd purpose. whereas
theoretically they are supposed to foster
international friendship.
The result of the meeting just finished
has been TO create international dissen-
sion and kindle animosity. The relations
between the English and American ath-
letic officials have become so strained
that II will be exceedingly difficult for
the representatives of the two nations TO
arrange any competitions in the future or
carry them out without unpleasant Incl
dents.
All the American officials and athletes
now here are convinced that the United
States was robbed of the 400-meter race,
while the English public. at any rate, is
equally certain that the American run
ners had a prearranged plan to keep Halls
well out Of first place in the event by
fair means or foul
The London newspapers have comment
ed on the case most temperately, for while
they have set forth the views which the
public holds-aQd strongly sustained the
action of the judges-they have plainly
stated that 1t would be advisable to let
the '-unsavory episode" drop into oblivion
so that il may be forgotten by both coun-
