pear at Berlin unless they enlist under
tn, Russian flag.
This action is partly due to the gen
eraI Russian policy of suppresslng
national aspirations. partly to desire
to have Russia make a better showing
at Berlin than she did at Stockholm
in 1912. All who attended the games
at Stockholm will remember the con
trast between the splendid delegation
from the little Baltic province of Fin
| land. and the far inferior representa-
tives of the Russian nations. The
Firms appeared under their own flag
as a separate body, with great as
semblage of athletes, gymnasts and
swimmers, while the Finnish women
who took part in the two last branches
of the sports were. like the ladies
from the other Scandinavian countries,
one of the most attractive features of
the occasion.
Among the IS prize-winning nations
Finland stood fourth with 50 points,
only Sweden. the United States and
Great Britain beating her. while Rus
STA ranked only 18th. with six points
to her credit. Throughout the meet
ing there was constant friction be-
tween the Il lHiiS anu iSuSSidhsS- IL
Russians resented the appearance of
the flag of Finland among the others
as though she was an independent ma
ton. The trouble eliminated in a
scene in the royal box at the stadium
during an evening concert of singing
societies. when the Finnish choirs |
sang one of their national hymns |
which contained references to Rus
STA as the "oppressor',' and Russia |
grand duke with his officers felt called |
upon to leave the box with ostenta-
tion.
Whether the Russian government
will be able to prevent the Firms from
running their own show at Berlin re-
mains to be seen. NJ. Isvolsky, the
Russian ambassador at Paris is said
to have requested the Olympic COM
mittee to refuse to recognize Finland,
or to receive the Finnish delegate,
Baron Won Willebrand, but his argu-
ments were without result. The only
way by which Russian officials cal
carry their point would be to pre-

Toxic, June 20.-The battle cruiser
Ibuki and the scout cruiser Chikuma,
which have been selected to partfct-
pate in the opening of the Panama
canal, will leave for the United States
on or about the 18th of October. Both
the Ibuki and Chikuma were built in
Japanese yards and will suffice to
show the progress of Japanese indus
try, in the line of shipkuilding, though
the Ibuki is of somewhat old type,
having been built in 1907.
The Chikuma is a fine ship. She is
said to be second to no other vessel
ship. Her displacement is only 1850
tons. The Ibuki is larger and will
serve well for the receptions which
will be held on board.
