Lausanne, Switzerland, May IL
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, 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 explain
ing his ideas the baron said:
The American contestants were
successful primarily because Of their
scientific training. and next, on &C.
count OF their morale, that is TO say,
their minds were made up before
hand 10 win. Finally their intense
patriotism. when pitted against other
natiosu, was an added reason.
Scientific training alone cannot
win, in my judgment. without moral
training and patriotism. The Finnish
athletes were without the first, as
they came from a 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 ma
! tons overlook this, but not the Amer
leans"
Referring 10 the Thorpe case, the
| baron said:
/ II cannot praise the American
+ sportsnen TOO much for their prompt
action in that delicate and unfortu.
nate affair. The regulations govern,
ing the status Of amateurs and pro
! fessionals are today so vague and IN.

 MATTERS FOR PUBLIC.

Washington. Sept 23-Secretary Bryan says he doesn't mind discuss ing his sources of income. but he thinks it is going a little too far 70 ask him to make a public detailed account of his private expenses. A speech by Senator Maritime defending the secretary's chautauqua lecturing. in which the senator said Mir. Bryan was supporting mission students in Japan brought many inquiries today
 The secretary issued this state ment.
 We are not educating any boys in Japan < Japanese student lived with us for about five years but Senator Martine's remarks probably refer to s.udents whom we have as. sisted in other parts of Asia, but do not consider it necessary to dis. cuss the matter

Mistake in Impression That One. Third Cash Was Demanded, Is Made in Letter From LaFrance Manufacturers.

The mistaken impression that the Board of Public Affairs had failed 70 buy an auto truck because each of the makers demanded one-third of The cost price in cash, is corrected in the copy of the proposal to the board of the American LaF'rance Fire Engine company, which is shown herewith.
 This company submitted three proposals. one for all cash one for one-fourth cash and deferred pay ments, and one for all deferred pay, men.s, the first to me made in 1915, and the remaining three-fourths one year each following.
 The proposal to sell wholly on credit, making an additional charge only to cover the interest the firm would expect, and that the city would have to pay if it borrowed money in .he future, a sit has done ill the past, shows a splendid conii- dence in the future of the city,
