New York, June 27.-In this col urnn recently attention. was called to the wonderful revival of public inter Britain Now the Englishmen have gone on record as leaders in the sJ1c- cessfuI movement to include boxing in the Olympic games at Berlin next year. And to their credit it can be said that when British sportsnaen want anything real bad they general tly manage to land theif game Any way their inuence added the grand old sport to the list of competitions among tl1e Olympic sports.
 Lord Lonsda.1e one of Britain 8 most. ardent boxing enthusiaats and sponsors for many years has organ ized a committee, and which he heads, the same status in Great Britain 3 leading schools and colleges as other sports An appeal has been made to the athletic committees of both O7- ford and Caznbri'dge aakIng that a full sfbIuev be granted for boxing chem pionships. At the present time only half a ssblue,s is bestowed upon the youths who win the boxing titles In the college tournaments.
 Lord Lonsda1e argues that the full distinction is extended to the vim CTS of other athletic games and that those who by faithful training, self de- nial pluck and determina.tion are suc- cessfu1 in the boxing competitions are equally entitled to recognition with tn c fortunate comp etftors in the several other fields Of amateur sport. Back ing Lonsdale and his confreres in the fight for boxing is the London Times probably the greatest influence in the newspaper line in the entire Kingdom. The Times is giving the heartiest s7p- port to the movement
 If we had a few men of the Lsons- dale type in thfs countr real sports men who would come to the front so. nobIy for boxing sport would not be confined to a few localities as at present, but would flourish from one end Of the land to the other. There. is no other sport in which it's expon- ents must be such splendid samples of sturdy manhood= every serse the phrase implzes- as boxing.
 While the sport is enjoying a boom abroad where loyal supporters are endeavoring to put 1t on d higher plane than ever before in its history out San Francisco way the Supervisors came pretty near putting the kibosh on boxing. altogether. A motion to re- yoke all licenses to conduct boxing ex- hfibitions recently came up and it was only by the narra.W margin of one vote that the proposition was killed. Whether the movement is due to Q. de- sire to bring about a real reform in the manner boxing is conducted-the ex- hibithons Of recent months not having been anything to brag a.bout-or to the usual petty quarre1ing among pro motors is not generally known, but there is no doubt that boxing as a liz. censed sport in San Francisco has had a very narrow escape

Sing as They March, He Says.

The Inhabitants of Brussels turned out
BY thousands to watch this endless pro-
cession of Germans as they marched by,
singing all sorts of songs and national
airs. They sang in excellent tune, one
company taking up the refrain as soon as
another stopped. Like everything else,
their singing is perfectly organized.

never entered the city, but marched
south direct from Louyain. These Ger

Warsaw in Ten Days.

DIR. Winter said that the telegram did
away with the supposition that the
Russian troops were sweeping on to-
ward Berlin in overwhelming forces
and without cessation or check.
I'VE expect that in ten days the com.
bined standards of Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary will be raised in War

sion that the Austrian troops have re.
treated from Ga1icia is easily explained
when they are retreating to strongly
fortified towns.
From this it may be seen that Rus.

The citizens. seeing these men hastily
returning, at once jumped to the prema-
ture conclusion that the Germans were
oeins forced to retreat in a great battle
outside the town and that they were
fleeing in confusion. Some of the inhabi-
tants therefore wanted to take arms and

the Germans entered. 1t was midday of

German commander demanded the sur

piled that he was bound by his honor to
defend the town.
Brand Whitlock, the American minis

OF the city. pointing out how resistance
might bring increased misfortunes on the
citizens but the commander remained
adamant until orders arrived from King
