OLYMPIC GAMES IN 1916.
Coming Meet Already Has Assumed
Promise.

New York, Sept. 22.-Although three
years will elapse before the sixth reyiv-
al OF the Olympic games to be held at
Berlin during the summer of 1916. the
meet has already assumed proportions
far surprising any previous struggle for
worlds amateur track and field cham
pionships. The games their preliminar
les and preparations are topics OF nation
al and international comment and dis
cussion throughout the old and new
world. In the midst of all these prep
arations the United States athletic au.
thorities continue to lead the way.
American prospects for the 1915 Olymp-
ic games are brighter than at any time
since the revival of this athletic classic,
owing to the work of the new ''inter-
national athletic federation just organ
lied at Berlin by delegates from l6 lead
ing athletic countries of the world.
As controlling international author.
itv for amateur track and field sports its
suggestions to the olympic games com
mittee will carry great weight. The
proposed l. A. +. standard program OF
track and field events is made up al
most entirely of events on the programs
of American college and athletic club
events and the rules are largely those
to which the American athletes are ac-
customed. The victory of the American
views at the congress German sport
critics ascribe to the fact that the events
proposed by the United States are prac-
ticed everywhere and are devoid of
freakishness; the superiority of the re-
suits produced under the American rules
and in no small measure to the ability
of the American delegates and the pres
tige of American athletes.
1t was the concensus of opinion among
the delegates that the American repre-
sentatives of the amateur athletic UNI
ion were by far the best versed in the
theory and technique of athletics When
they advocated changes in the rules they
advanced excellent reasons in support
of their contention and won many vic
tories and supporters to their ideas.
Some of the rules advocated at the sug-
gestion of the United States delegates
were: Toe board circles for the shot
put; penalties for false starts, and
rule to prevent the drawing of several
entrants all representing one country in
preliminary heats of races. On few
points American ideas were rejected, as
for instance, in adopting l6-pound shot
made of iron instead of the smaller
American lead shot, and in providing for
dug-out take-off for the broad jump,
against the United States argument that
the take-off sunk flush with the ground
was safer,

Grand Trunk Assembling
It's Forces to Complete
Palmer Branch
DIRECTOR ON
THE GROUND
Contractor Is Expected to
Open Office in South
bridge To-day

Boston, Sept. 22.-Indications seem to
point to an immediate resumption. OF
construction OF the Southern New Eng
land railroad, the Grand Trunk subsid-
larry, which is designed to give the Ca
madam system path across New Eng
land and an outlet at Providence.
1t was unoflicially stated early last
August that some such movement might
be expected and that the section between
Palmer and Woonsocket would be under
way before winter. 1t looks now as
If this statement might become a fact.
Representatives of the contracting firm
which is to be An charge have appea nd
in Palmer and are already organizing
their forces Several fright of way"
men are known to have been in the
neighborhood of late for the purpose OF
caring for any damage claims that may
arise.
1t is stated that George C. Jones,
vice president of the Central Vermont
railroad and one of the directors of the
Southern New England, was ON the
ground recently and went over the line
with several other officials of the road.
John Marsch, general contractor for
the company, is expected to reach South
bridge to-day, and it is expected that
he will open an Office there to super
intend operations. The road has until
July, 1915, to complete construction.
Until the last month it was generally
supposed that the Grand Trunk had Civ
EN- up its plans of operating in Mas.
sachusetts and Rhode Island Work on
the construction was suddenly aban-
doned in November, 1912, when Presi-
dent Edison J. Chamberlin of the Grand
Trunk issued an order that the work
be stopped.
AT that time the explanation was Of
fered that unsettled conditions in Eu-
rope had caused such stringency in the
money market that it was impossible
at that time TO 60 ahead.
The first intimation that preliminary
work was to be resumed came when an
answer was filed in August by the Grand
Trunk to suit brought against the
railroad by William NJ Hanson, sub
contractor under John Marsch, the gen.
eral contractor in charge of the build
ing OF the part of the proposed extern
sion between Palmer and WOonsocket,
about four ifths of the line. Marsch
had previously brought suit for $780,.
coo, alleging losses to that amount by

EDISON ANXIOUS
TO RESUME WORK
The "Wizard" Feels All Right, but His
Physician Insists on
Rest

Newark, n. j., Sept. 22.-Thomas A.
Edison, whose recent indisposition
caused his friends much anxiety, expects
to return to work in his laboratory
again by Wednesday, he said yesterday.
He has lost several pounds and his face
shows plainly the signs of siege of
illness, but he insists that he is feeling
all right again and is anxious to return
to his labors. His physician, however,
has insisted on his remaining idle at
home for few days more.

WILLIAM j. BRYAN speaking at a
dinner given Friday night in honor of
the foreign members of the interna-
national conference that is arranging
the celebration of 100 years of peace
among English speaking peoples, de
clared "tlat the new peace plan Of
fered by President Wilson to all
nations is the latest and longest step
toward peace. 1t contemplates time
for investigation and deliberation,
and this makes the possibility of war
remote" Mr.. Bryan's subject was,
Progress Toward Peace" He said
the part of the United States in the
cause must of necessity be large, be-
cause more than any other nation it
had population which is attached
by blood to nearly all other nations. >
Peace for all time between the
United States and Great Britain was
the keynote of other addresses of the
evening, delivered by Lord Weardale,
chairman of the English delegation;
Sir Edmund Walker of Canada, Sir
George Houston Reid of Australia
and Judge George Gray of Delaware.
More than 500 men and women were
in attendance. Unstinted applause
greeted all remarks that emphasized
the cordial relations between the two
nations or the cause OF universal
peace.

The Commission has made a sep
arate offer in respect to the produc
ton of poem based upon Perry's vic
tory. 1t will suitably reward (inde-
pendent of either essay competition)
such an effort on the part of any stu
dent eligible to either competition,
whose production may be considered
of sufficient merit.
Value of the Opportunity.
The opportunity presented in the
"Perry's Victory Centennial to cele-
brate the events and the significance
of our second war for independence,
and of the hundred years of peace
with Great Britain which has ensued,
is one in witch parents and teachers
should join Win eagerness and en-
thusiasm; and the school programs
should be enlarged ans dignified by
the participation of men anu women
capable of making the strongest ap-
peal to the understanding and patriot
ism of the young.
The Wisconsin Commission believes
that the schools are the proper and
natural medium through which to in
vite public attention to the real mean
ing of the centennial. In offering to
Wisconsin students the opportunity TO
engage in competition III unusual
historical interest, for valuable in
ducements offered, in addition to the
educational incentive, the Commission
is convinced that il has selected a
celebration feature in especial accord
with the intent of the legislative act
creating the Commission; and that in
no more certain or comprehensive way
could the educational value of the his
torical revival indicated in the move
ment, be brought home to the people
of the entire state.
