of whom are German representatives on
the international Olympic committee. The
committee, apart from its work for the
coming Olympiad, is hard to work shalx-
ms up an interest In athletics throughout
the empire. 1t has divided athletics into
four departments, and offered gold and
silver medals for those who excel in each
department. 1t has also committed itself
to subsidizing- provincial athletic associa-
ticns to the extent Of $4,000 for local
training purposes, and 1t hopes to raise

whole population of game players and
athletes from which to pick Olympic COM
petitors.
The chief practical result of the Diem
committee is the engagement of Kraenz-
lein to train Germans for the 1915 con-
tests. Kraenzlein was chose nfor his
proved talent as a practising athlete and
for the fact that he is of German origin
and speaks perfectly the German lam
guage. Kraenzleins record as Olympic
athlete has not yet been beaten. In 1900
at Paris he carried off four events: The
1l0-meter hurdle race In 10 2-5 seconds
the 200-metre hurdle race In 25 2-5 sec
onds, ana the running long jump with
the then unexampled length of 7O25
metres No one man has since carried
off four events and one of Kraenzlein' s
time records still stands. Also Kraenz-
lein's own record as trainer for the 1912
Olympiad, and his association with the
late Mike Murphy commended him to the
German commission; and his work during
the few weeks he has been here has con-
WINGED the Olympic committee that the
choice was a good one.
Kraenzlen takes a fairly optimistic
view of Germany's prospects. He agrees
that the German physique is far inferior
to the American, but he says, there Is
plenty of good raw material II 1t is
only gettable He praises the army as
an instrument of physique Improvement
But he says that Germany has no chance
to take first place until she starts athlet-
les at her universities and high schools;
until she goes in for spot on a large scale.

of Sweden and England In making pre-
parations. 1t began practical measures
by sending Carl Diem and a commission
to the United States to inquire into the
causes of American success. Diem is the
secretary of the German Athletic asso-
citation, who did wonders for athletics in
the years 190S-12. The report of Diem
commission is here considered to be rela-
lively encouraging, for 1t locates the
causes of American success in factors
which Germany can hope to initiate. The
fundamental cause of American success.
says Diem, is not the special training,
but the universal participation of Ameri-
can youth In games and athletics. This
has produced a national physique which
is far superior to Germanys. To this
cause are traced tlso the splendid facli-
ties for games In America the plentiful
provision of open spaces and playing
grounds Another reason is the particle
patton of American women in games
That has produced a more athletic ply
sique than is possible In Germany, where
only lawn tennis is played by women.
The American system, says Diem, in
sures that every youth shall have an
opportunity to show his talent in some
game and thus the whole play and ath-
letic talent of the republic is brought
out; and no good man escapes. In Ger
many only very small minority play
and probably nine-tenths of the latent
German talent for particular form of
sport is never brought to light. This
factor is even more important than the
splendid American training which has
no equal anywhere in Europe. Germany
can easily copy American training, but
it will be generations before she has

or game.
Kraenzlein has been making tours about
the country examining into conditions;
and he was present at the unveilng of
the Leipzig battle monument, and saw the
finish of the Juniors Olylnpic races -
He has now taken up his residence per-
manently at the Grunewald stadium and
he Is already at work preparing for 1876.
His first task is to discover talent for
the 1916 games, and handle It In the same
effective way as Hiertberg did in Sweden
before 1912. Kraenzlein says that Ger
many has not only no discovered talent.
but she lacks the ability to discover It.
So the first work must be to train train

wald trainers college, which will turn
out competent trainers whe will so to
the provinces and pick out promising
men. This method is also being adopt
ed in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
kraenzlein has received applications for
trainin gas trainers from over 100 men,
Immediately his control will be three un-
der-trainers, chief of whom will be the
fine all-round athlete. Waiter of Munich,
who was one of the commission sent to
America.
All the coming winter will be spent by
Kraenzlein at this work. Next spring
the work of picking out men for train
ing for 1916 will be started. In April
will be organized propaganda races >
and contests in every German center
which has at least two athletic asso-
Citations. After that l., May will be
held the preliminary elimina ION contests.
On May "a the German cities viii send
their elimination contest men to COM
pete against one another: and In June
Will be held elimination contests of prov.
ince against province. Kraenzlein will
attend these contests and pick out the
men he considers most promising, and
these will be taken TO Berlin and thor
oughly trained in preparation for tEa
Olympiad.
Good judges say that "A remarkable
Improvement Is taking place in German
athletics. This is shown by the falling
off in record breaking. Until recent years
the standard of achievement was very
low. and as athletics spread the bad
German records for running and jump
ing were broken several times in d sea
son. Last year for the first time verr
few records were broken. The cause
of this Is the relatively high standard
that has been attained. The obstacle
to progress continues to be the non
participation OF the classes with the best
physikue. These are the countyymen and
the inha bite nts of small towns. Both
ignore athletics, The present athletic
craze Is confined to the larger cities
where the physique is very bad How
this factor checks athletic development
Is shown by the fact that nearly all
German records are held by young mer
who live in big towns. but who We're
born and brought up In the country.

As to the commercial aspects of the

also for the force Uncle Sam will keep
on the isthmus. 1t has been success

amounted last year to $4,000 and IL has
served food to the men on the works at

year the commissary department gave
out 100000 meals at 30 cents each and
in the height of the construction 1t was

there will be a force of from 5000 to
