LONDON, Aug. 3.-Something is so
wrong with the British national sum

ers write letters to the papers com.
planning that the game Is becoming
decadent. This criticism comes at a
time which has been hailed as the
banner year for imperial cricket,

Africa competing on home grounds
with England for the championship
of the empire. But thus far the trl.
angular matches have been exceed
ingly disappointing from the stand.
point OF attendance. Recently n OF
the most important county matches
attracted only 1S9 spectators.
Most of the critics agree that the
fault lies in the slow n of the game
and that something must be done to
shorten the matches, which now last
generally three days. This plan for,
merly suited the Briton who took his
sports as a solid part Of the SLOW
moving machinery of his existence,
but the English temperament has lost
much of its stolidity and the metro.
politan areas which supply the gates
for all games live and play at ap-
p%roximately the high speed which
characterizes American cities. The
demand for reform Is in the air, but
the players are apparently satisfied
with the present form of the game
and in any new rule-making they will
be able to overrule those who are
only interested in the game from the
spectators standpoint.
The loss of interest in cricket
does not seem to have spread to
other sports; on the contrary, other
games are enjoying a distinct revival.
Even the ancient games of bowls IS
making great strides, and in Wales
the recently introduced game of base
ball is becoming very popular.
Sir Roger Easement, who wrote the
recent sensational blue book report
on the rubber atrocities in Peru, was
the mar who first brought to light
the horrors of the Congo under the
Leopoldian rule. He has been in the
consular service for many years, but
did not gain his knighthood until cor
onation year. .e.
During his Investigations in the
Congo region he was frequently
threatened with assassination and
his life was many times in jeopardy.
When it was found impossible to
s are him out Of the Congo, King
Leopold's press began a virulent cam.
paign against him, and every effort
was made to discredit his reports and
to smir h his personal reputation.
Since 1908 he has been the British
co"nsul-general in Rio Janeiro.
An imperial exhibition is to be held
In London in 1915, the definite plans
for which were made at a meeting

hoped that twill be large enough,
to accommodate all the exhibits. The

twice the size of the span over
