affair to the United States. and this,
involving vast difficulty and perhaps
:mpossibility. had greatly worried
Sullivan. He was taken i'll suddenly.
and never really rallied.
Mr.. Sullivan was one of the
worlds great authorities on amateur
athletics. AS a young man he held
several Americ an championships, as
runner, boxer. and wrestler. He was
always a militant fighter for clean.
decent. and fair athletics. In this re-
gard his contribution will weight
teavler than in perhaps any other di-
rectlon. Other men might have been
organizers and managers, but net
many could have demonstrated the
executive capacity that he possessed,
and at the same time have aroused
the positive enthusiasm in behalf of
clean, honest sport.
Mr.. Sullivan for many years had
taken keen Interest in the acquire
ment of Fairgrounds for The myriad
Of children IN New York city, and
to his effort is due the fact that
many of the schoo! and other recrea-
tion grounds were secured.

OUT FOR BUSINESS.

1t is a sad mistake to assume
that the commerce and industry OF
Europe are prostrated by reason of
the war. The greatest industrial
and commercial nation is strictly in
business, boxing around for orpor-
tunitics to pick up the crumbs from
others tables. Great Britain is di-
viding its time between its military
campaign in France and its trade
campaign everywhere.
The BritiShers are the real COM
petition Americans must meet in the
race for the spoil Of ruined German
trade. They are expert in the busi-
ness of foreign dealing. They enjoy
a reputation everywhere for making
good goods and selling them under
honest labels; which reputc, It is to
be said the Germans did not enjoy
in anything like the same degree.
A tremendous amount of cheap and
shoddy stuff has been sent out from
Germany, with the result that among
buyers around the
world the American or British label
means better quality, while the Ger
nan means merely theapness.
1t must be kept in mind that Brit
ish industry is not broken down, and
British shipping is still on the seas.

THE BELGIAN PROTEST.

President Wilson's response to the
delegation that came to him with the
report of German atrocities in Bel
gium was peculiarly fitting. 1t made
plain that he proposes under no such
conditions 20 he moved from his
proper equilibrium as the chief of a
great neutral nation. He reserves
opinion until all the facts shall be
available, and he withholds Judgment
until the passion of the hour shall
have passed.
But at the same time, he most i'm
pressively observes that the public
opinion of civilization will demand
and enforce an accounting, in due
time. 1t will learn who has been
guilty of wrongs, and will surely i'm
pose the penalties.
The President has not pointed a
finger at anybody. But he has EN-
phasized the abhorrence which the
still civilized portions of the world
feel for the things that are happen
ing in parts which were wont to re-
gard themselves as leaders of civili-
zation.

EUROPEANS SEEK
HORSES IN AMERICA
Last Year Only 22,266 Were
Export e d-Number May
Show Big Increase.

In the face of the well-defined rumor
tha. certain representatives Of England
and France are in the United States en-
deavoring to buy horses and mules for
the use of the armies in Europe, it Is
interesting to look into the export trade
that the United States has conducted In
horses.
For the month of June 300 horse.
went to foreign countries. The fiscal
year saw exported 22.766 horses. In
July 927 horses passed over the borders
of the United States: the number of
mules during this month was 122. and
the number of mules during the fiscal
year ended June so was 1853
The greatest shipment of horses. as
shown by the statistical summary of the
Bureau of Statistics. has been frcm
North and South Dakota. In the year
1872 there was an unusually heavy ex-
por tation of horses from these two
States into Canada, due in all proba-
bility to the number of people who went
over into Canada and took up homes In
the public domain of Canada.
The country which has taken most of
the supply Of export horses is Canada.
30 per cent of the total export going
to that country for the last three
To South America. l to Asia. 2lS to
OCeania, 30 to Africa. and the remairder
of the number TO Canada.
Next to the Dakotas. in size of ship
ments is the port of New Orleans. that
city sending over into Mexico and South
America, .oveT 1.0D1.
Europe heretofore has not found il
necessary TO call upon America for
horses. In fact. it has been true that
the horses of the Continent are superior
to those in the United States. The war
on the Continent has depleted the
markets of both horses and mules. and
contrary to course of horse trade
in the past. the United States observes
its large stock growers approached by
men coming over here from Europe to
buy up horses and mules.
The State Department may see nit to
prevent any deals being put through
on the ground that in reality though
not in appearance the Government is
."j"ing and ahetting one or more of the
fghting powers.

Cverwork and anxiety. Mr.. Sullivan
was one of The most useful and be-
