GAMES NOT TO BE HELD
IF THE WAR CONTINUES
Should Conflict End Germany May
Attempt to Arrange for
Olympiad.

BERLIN, March l3.-No decision has
yet been reached regarding the hold
ing of the Olympic games in 1916. The
matter has been left in statu quo pend
ing the termination of the war. Should
the war end in time, an attempt prob
ably will be made to hold the games
according to schedule, it is stated, but
at present most of the officials and vir-
tually all the German athletes are in
the field. There is no thought of hold
ing the Olympic games during the war,
it is asserted.
President Goetz of the German Tur-
ners, who is a vigorous opponent of the
Olympic games, proposed some time ago
the entire abandonment of the big
meet. The comment on his proposals
seems to have been the occasion for
discussions abroad.
