FAMOUS BRITON
LEAVES SERVICE
OF KING GEORGE

| Associated Press.
London. June 3.-The secret of the
retirement of Sir Percy Girouard from
the Imperial service to join the board
of directors of the great shipbuilding
firm of Messrs. Armstrong, Whitworth
& Company, is out.
Sir Percy is a Canadian by birth,
and he is about to return to the Do
minion to advise on the suitability Of
certain Canadian ports for the con-
struction of docks and other engineer
ing works in connection with future
shipbuilding. He will also consult
with the Dominion ministers in regard
to the dry docks to be built at Hall
fax, Quebec and Esquimalt: 1t is un-
derstood that the private tenders for
these docks having proved unsatisfac-
tory the Canadian government have
decided to build themselves.
Sir Percy Girouard was born in
Montreal. He Joined the Royal En-
gineers, and making railway construc-
ton a specially, rendered splendid
service to Great Britain in Egypt and
South Africa. He built the railway
which took Kitchener to Khartoum;
reorganized the Egyptian railways
and when Kitchener went TO South
Africa to conclude the South African
war, he Immediately sent for the
French Canadian, who became Com
missioner of Railways in the Trans
vaaI and Orange River Colony. re-
building what had been destroyed dur
ing the war. A few years in Nigeria
and East Africa as chief of the ad-
ministration of those colonies, and Sir
Percy resigned to go into the ship
building business.
His withdrawal from the govern
ment service gave rise to a contro-
versy as to whether the Imperial gov
ernmeut paid its servants sufficient to
retain them when big salaries were Of
fered by private concerns. Many 2
man who would have rendered inval-
liable service to the country has been
attracted by the salaries offering in
nriyate life. and most of the big ship
building yards and other engineering
works are now headed by former oiil-
GERS of the navy and army.

'"'-'"-- PA PARIS BY STORM
Associated Press.

Paris, June 3.-Baseball has come
to Paris and has taken the city yir-
tually by storm. Negotiations are
under way for the purchase of Il ball
park in the Bois de Bologne; sporting
houses are stocking baseballs, bats,
masks and gloves to meet an increas-
ing demand, and the american base
ball vernacular is being translated
into French
All this is the direct result OF a
few exhibitions of the great Ameri-
can game Witnessed near Paris re-
Gently, but France was ripe for the
innovation. Grated on a newly
awakened love for outdoor sports and
living that has grown up in France
recently, baseball bids fair to become
the most popular and fashionable
method of its expression.
Several hundred curious spectators
jCurneyed to Colomb few days ago
to see the game played officially for
the first time under the auspices OF
the Racing Club. AS the match pro-
gressed the Parisians became more
and more fascinated, and by the end
of the ninth inning everybody prom
iscd himself try at the new game,
which will, in all probability. be of
ficially adopted by the leading Paris
athletic clubs.
Frenchmen today take pride in be-
ing athletic. 1t is the fashion to go
in for some kind of outdoor sport.
A soft arm and a pallid complexion
are coming to be scorned. This
change in Frenchmen is one result
of what has been called "the new
spirit in Franc" spirit of con-
fidence, of action, of morality. 1t is
well examplified by Maurice Barres
and younger school of writer's, who
believe a man can write just as good
poetry and philosophy in riding
breeches or after a game of tennis
as with long locks. butterfly neck
wear and a dull and unhealthy eye.

ENHANCE BEAUTY
OF FRENCH ROSE
Associated Press.

Paris, June 3.-The beauty of the
rose has been enhanced greatly by a
new soil treatment recently discov-

When the first excavations were
made for the Paris subway garden

clay dumpings. He tried roses on the
soil thus procured. and. to his amaze
ment. they grew finer than in the
highly priced clays. Since then there
has been a great demand from rose
growers for subway clay.
The roses grown on this soil have
been dubbed subway roses" They
have extraordinarily vivid colors and
exquisite odor, and are taking all the
prizes at the spring horticultural
shows, where they have been allotted
section to themselves.

MAKING
BIG MONEy0FF
HER VISITORS
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Paris, June statistics Just
published show that in the year 1912
the receipt of the various places of
amusement in Paris amounted to
over s13, 100000 as against Sll ,5OO,-
600 for 1911.
The constant opening up of new
ways to spend money for relaxation
seems to have no effect on the in
crease of receipts. The moving pic
ture theater evidences this. Today
they are counted by the hundreds in
Paris, and one of them shows total
receipts for the year amounting to
$500, 900.
The largest receipts of any place
are taken by the Opera, $500, 900.
This is explained by the fact that
more foreign visitors go to the opera
than any other theater, so that it
maintains fairly average audience
at all seasons of the year.

BARON PRAISES
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Lausanne, Switzerland, June g.
Baron Pierre de Coubertine, president
Of the international Olympic commit
tee, who has visited the United States
several times OF recent years, has very
decided opinions to account for the
success of American athletes at
Stockholm last year. In explaining
his ideas, the baron said:
THE American contestants were
successful primarily because of their
scientific training, and next, on ac-
count of their morale-that is to say,
their minds were made up beforehand
to win. Finally, their intense patri-
otism, when pitted against other ma
tiCns, was an added reason.
Scientific training alone cannot
win, in my judgment, without moral
training and patriotism. The Fin
nish athletes were without the first,
as they came from poor country;
but, with the other two attributes,
they did splendidly. Not only the
body but the mind must be trained
to win in sports, and the athletes OF
many nations overlook this, but not
the Americans"
Referring to the Thorpe case, the
baron said:
81 cannot praise the American
sportsmen too much for their prompt
action in that delicate and unfortun-
ate affair. The regulations govern
ing the status OF amateurs and pro-
fessionals are today so vague and un-
satisfactory that similar case might
arise tomorrow in any country. We
hope, at our meeting in Paris in
1914, to make an international defin-
ition of amateurs and professionals.
My idea is that every Olympian can
didate shall swear on his country S
flag that he is pure amateur. This
would, l think, settle the question.

Of land in the Casa Grande valley will

Some time ago Judge O'Connor issued
an order allowing the land owners
under the Casa Grande canal. which

several years, to take possession OF the
ditch and clean it. Receiver Alfred c.
SiebOth was directed to issue certifi-
Gates to the land owners for the amount
Of labor each performed, these certif-
icates to form a first lien on the prop
erty- The work was done by the farm
ers Of the Florence and KenilwOrth
districts, who then refused to serve the
Casa Grande district, lower down. The
Casa Grande farmers filed suit to OBJ
tain half the water passing through
the canal In return the farmers of the
Florence and KenilWOrth districts set
up the claim Of prior rights, which are
now to be adjudicated.
