ENGLISH TEAM IS IS SCORED co
Empire Is Asked to Wake Up" in Time for Berlin Games of 19t6-
 Americans Better Disciplined.

London, July 13.-The English newspapers devote comparatively small attention to the Olympic games, and the public generally appears to be not greatly interested.
 Disappointment at England's poor showing, however, is reflected in an article contributed to the Daily Mail by Beach Thomas, ex-president of the Oxford University Athletic club, who rouudly complains that while he finds America's found and made athletes" |" unparalleled since the days of Pheidip- pides, and that the Swedes, Danes and Films have organized gymnastics on a scale surpassing classical Greece, Great Britain has not even made a move for victory
 He declares that the British team did not train to win. did not run to win and was not organized to win, and after a comparison of the lax British methods with the splendid or, ganization training and discipline of the Americans and Scandinavians, says We lost because we desired to lose

LORIMER ENDING HIS PLEA

 Crowded in Spite of Heat

Washington, July 19.-Standing in the middle of the center aisle of the senate chamber, his famous blond curls bobbing as he tossed his head, Senator William LOrimer resumed his final plea for his seat He began where be had left off in his attack on Roosevelt and President Taft. The general belief was expressed in the senate that a vote would be taken late in the afternoon. a rs4ss~,.-.rs,. ,,,v.,,- -
 ,I2gr.-m-ser, yhQ is speaking against the advice of his physicians, appeared wor5 and tired, but his voice was fresh and strong, When be took the floor only about a dozen senators were present, but the leaders scurried around and corraled a quorum within a few minutes. All subtle devices of the stage were brought into play by Lorimer in his impassioned, dramatic utterance He stood, bulky figure in dark serge suit, buttoned shoes and a clerically white tie and shirt He re- moved and replaced his gold spec taclas nervously from time to time.
 Frequently his voice broke with ap' parent pathos or rasped as he shout ed his diatribes upon his enemies, Often he turned and shook his fist at the auditors, including many repre- sentatives and government officials.
 It was explained by Lorimer that he did not take the stand during the first inquiry because he believed it be meath the dignity of senator to take notice of insinuations,"
 After speaking an hour, Lorimer visibly weakened. He was bathed in precipitation His tawny hair was

Halifax. N S., July 1S.-As a result of forest fire the village of Point Tupper, a settlement near the eh- trance to Port Hawkesbury, is in ashes, practically wiped out by the flames. The town of Port Hawkes.. bury was seriously threatened, but was saved when the winds died down.
 On the south shore, about 30 miles from Halifax, forest fires were so threatening that 300 soldiers were ordered to proceed to the scene from the garrison here, but just as the troops were about to leave a heavy downpour of rain saved the situation.
