now holds the names of more than 100
national banks who have thus far neg

This failure on the part OF any such
check holders TO present them has caused
the Secretary TO issue an order to the

to threaten 1t In summer. There has
been. in fact, q noticeable development
in the latter direction in Germany of late
years. and one can hardly take up a
paper published in any part of the coun-
try without finding recorded the more or
less successful performance of. this or
that play in the open air. 1t Is obvious
tina: among the vast repertoire OF ancient
and modern drama quite a considerable
number OF plays are likely TO be pro-

was made at Jena during the week with

play was gotten up by students of the
university and played on a plateau near
the town among hills partly bare and
dotted with granite powders and partly
clothed with trees and shrubs. The stu
dents were helped by a theatrical direc-
tor from Strassburg. and received val

OLYMPIAN RESULTS
WORRY ENGLAND
Thick Skin of British Penetrated
by Attacks of the Foreign
Press.

London. Aug. l0-Although the Olym-
pic games are over and the British ath-
letes have returned home beaten. and
have skunk away into oblivion. the Eng
lish people are still smarting under the
blow which their pride received at Stock
holm and which most Of the newspapers
tried as ar as possible TO conceal or at
least explain away. What the daily for
eign press in Europe as well as in Ameri-
ca wrote about English inferiority in
sports created comparatively little SEN
sation. as the majority OF people here
are firmly convinced that II is these pa
pers' purpose always to expose English
men to hatred and ridicule; and their
criticism OF the English was generally
believed to be the result OF their hatred
against a really superior race. II the
English athletes brought home no laurels
and II their victories were practically all
won by colonials, everybody on John
Bulls little island remained convinced
that among the competitors Of all coun-
tries who exhibited their skill at Stock
holm the English were the only real gen.
tlemen. the only ones who really loved
sport for sports sake. and would far
rather lose than think of trying to win
by unfair means.
Alas. this pretty bubble has burst, its
scintillating colors no longer dazzle the
eyes Of the British people. The foreign
daily press has ceased to write about the
Olympic games, but the monthly sport
magazines, which are not so easily ac-
cused of bias, have begun their summing
up OF the great trials at Stockholm.
and before their cool, dispa ssionate crit
icism the last crop of British pride crun-
bles away and the naked truth is Seen
by the English, who. on general princi-
Piles. hate everything naked. In this sum-
ming up nothing Is heard OF the gentle
manliness of the English, who, on the
contrary. when they saw that they were
in danger OF losing displayed a good deal
of the original brute in men, and who
repeatedly came very near being disqual-
flied for their ungentlemanlike tactics;
especially in the water polo match and
in their football match with the Danes.
where they deliberately and brutaIly
crippled their most dangerous Opponent
and did their best to cripple two more.
The criticism OF the sporting press
abroad has been so severe that It has
even penetrated the thick skin of the
British. and while no more is said here
about British gentlemanliness, voices are
raised saying in plain language that Eng
land will either have TO stay away from
the next Olympic games, in Berlin. in 1916.
or she will have to adopt the American
system Of training, which was SO con-
criticised a few short weeks
ago.
