PARIS. November 3O.-Surely the Bull
garians must be kind-hearted. for even
in the midst of the war they have found
time to think of healing the wound they
have inflicted on German pride by their
glorious victories over the Turks, thanks
to the brilliant training they have re-

cellent guns they have bought from
France. At this time. when the German
press has been unable to find suitable
answers to its French colleagues who have
lost no time telling the world that the Bal

ority of German tactics and Krupp guns.
the Bulgarian government officials have
unexpectedly come to the assistance or the

in nearly all cases neglected to render
their deserted guns useless. That the

Lloyd George Welcome.

1t is probably no exaggeration to say
that the most pleasant days In King
Georges rather dreary and monotonous
existence are the days in which Lloyd
George is in attendance. The presence
of the chancellor Of the exchequer. whose
ideas on most subjects are Of the most
unconventional kind. always acts upon
the king as a refreshing breeze and a
close friendship has sprung up between
these two greatly contrasting men. 1t
goes without saying that the presence Of
Lloyd George. which she cannot prevent.
is not a source Of pleasure to the queen.
1t is undoubtedly due to the chancellor
that the king will soon acquire new
residence in Wales. the beloved home Of
Lloyd George, where the royal family is
to spend part of each year. Lloyd George
even has succeeded in arousing Queen
Mary's enthusiasm for this plan, so that
she is looking forward to her stay there
with great expectations. The royal resi-
dence in Wales is a modest place, indeed,
but a more beautiful place hardly could
be found anywhere than this old mansion
situated near Llannymynech. in the
charming valley of the rushing Tamat.

COURT LIFE THERE DULL

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, November 3O-The royal
family once more is back at Windsor the
imposing but melancholy castle on the
bank of the Thames. which King Ed
ward hated because he said it depressed
him. and the snobbery of the people of
the royal borough Of Windsor disgust
ed him. King George loves the gray. me-
dleval building no more than did his
father. Queen Mary. however, adores the
place. and so it was a foregone conclu-
sion that the royal family would spend
considerable part of the year there.
True to her principles. Queen Mary's
first act was to order all the pet i'm
provements which Queen Alexandra had
made obliterated. greatly to the annoy
ance not only Of the latter. but also Of
King George. who grew very angry and
quite unexpectedly gave his consort
piece of his mind.
Court life at Windsor is terribly dull
and visitors are few and far between. eX-
cept the unfortunate ones. ministers and
others. who come to the palace because
they are commanded to be present. The
queen divides most Of her time between
her two favorite pastimes. knitting and
experimenting the housekeeping opera
tions which are continually going on in
some part OF the palace. greatly to the
disgust of the host of servants.
King George who spends more and
more of his available time in the COM
pany of his mother and sister. Queen
Maud Of Norway. hardly ever invites any
personal friends to Windsor. as his own
and Queen Mary's tastes are radically
different. Queen Mary's standard is high
and. as one might expect from woman
of her character she demands a great
deal from the people she permits to APP
proach her, but she favors negative
virtues. King George. on the other hand.

informally discussed some of his plans

things he would expect of the men.
Sharpe said he expected every football
aspirant TO be in Ithaca on September
two weeks before the opening game, and
will allow enough time to get an eleven
into shape for that contest. He made 1t
point to impress all of the men that
he expected every one who hoped 20
make a place on the team to be on hand
promptly. Those who come out late
without a hrst-class excuse will hardly
receive much consideration at the hands
of the coaches. 1t will be his Nolicy,

or not he has made the team before or

OUR HIGH JUMPERS

T0LEAD THE WORLD
Not One Member of the
Team Leaps Less Than
6 Feet , Inches.

Spectators at the Olympic games can
prepare themselves for spectacular do
ings in many of the events when the
members Of the American team take
the field. but at the sight of one, the
running high jump, they will probably
sit back in amazement when they note
the proficiency of Uncle Sans nomi-
nees. or the dozen men who have been
named there isn't one who hasn't clear
ed feet inches, and from that height
the performance of the men ascend to
6 feet 81 inches, this marvellous jump
having been made by George HORNE, OF
Stanford University and the Olympic
Club, San Francisco.
AS matter of fact, taking the best
jumps of the twelve men who will dis
play their abilities to the possible won
derment or most OF the athletes of forty
nations, II becomes noticeable that they
aggregate rs feet 3h inches, or an aver
age of feet 1-3 inches.
Seven Are Specialists"
1t can oe said without fear of contra
diction that the best men in this game
Of all the two score nations, arrayed as
one team, who will be competively en-
gagged at the games, would not muster
strength enough to compete against our
men at this particular game.
Seven of the men are out-and- -out
specialists men who in athletics cul-
tivate no other game, while the other
five pursue various branches of track
end field work, being extremely proficI-
cnt in several branches aside from
jumping.
All of the other men who will be en-
gagged in the Olympics for America, with
the exception of Alma Richards, of Brig
ham Young University. Utah, use the
Layout" method. Until Horine's style
was seen the layout was fancied to
be the last word in high jumping, as 1t
was by this method that Mike Sweeney
had hung up the feet 5% inches In
! 1895, which stood unapproached until
| HORNE leaped higher this spring.
Richards style bespeaks for him a
most wonderful natural power He
| rises to his jump and clears the bar
| in much the same style as Con Leahy,
Pat DAWN, and many other Irish jump
ers, with the knees drawn up almost
! 10 the chin, but at a great loss of height
because OF the position Of his body, as
