NEW YORK, Dec. 19-American ath-
letes and trainers returning from Europe
are almost unanimous in expressing the
opinion that the Olympic games sched-
uled for Berlin in 1916 will In all prob
ability have TO be abandoned as a result
OF tho war. a period of eighteen months
stretches between the present and the
day set for the opening of the interna-
tional meet and much may yet be accom-
plished by the Olympic committee In q
year and half. There Is already evil
dence of sentiment in favor OF transfer
ring the games TO this country or some
European nation not involved in the war.
1t Is not the site of the contest as much
as the condition and number OF tho con-
testants that causes those best informed
on the situation to doubt the possibility
of a successful meet in 1916.

twenty-seven( nations represented at
Stockholm. The complete entry list

athletes competed for an aggregate entry

seven nations and colonies whose athletes
assembled at Stockholm, are at war, and

nations contributed 1.121 athletes to the
games in the following order: Great

That these nations. even though peace
Is declared in the meantime, cannot ap-
proach In number or athletic callber these
entries in 1916 is generally accepted by
those who have witnessed the physical
result OF the war 20 date. A. r. COPELAND
Austria's Olympic trainer, and Alvin
Kraenzlein, chief OF the German staff OF
athletic instruction have both returned
to this country on an indefinite leave OF
absence.
Conceding that the meet is held either
In American or some neutral European
country, the result can he forecasted as
decisive victory for the United States.
provided that the entries OF this country
are made upon the same scale as In for
mer games. Although eighth In total num-
