MARATHON STAR
REFUSES TOFIGHT
KoIehmainen Says Militia
Sought Him Only for
Athletics.

When IL comes 10 defending the
honor OF his adopted country in a bat
tie OF the cinder path, there is no
man more ready than Hannes Koleh-
mainen, the Finnish distance runner.
But he fatty refuses TO shoulder a
rife and fight for it, even though he
is member Of the national guard.
Kolehmainen joined the 18th Regi-
ment. Of Brooklyn, last winter, on the
representation. he says, that he would
have only to run, not fight. Now, with
the l4th sleeping on its rifles in its
armory, and expecting every minute
TO be ordered 70 Camp Whitman, he
has refused 20 obey the order to fall
in with the rest.
What punishment may be his is yet
10 be determined. II might be dis
honorable discharge, but il Is not
likely 10 be so severe Colonel John
II. Foote. commanding the regiment,
advised its married men, when the
mobilization order came, 70 stay at
home and take care OF their families.
Noicnmainen feels that this just hts
him. for he became a father for the
first time a few DAYS ago.

scarcely speaks English, and IL was

Kolehmainen was awakened late on

Brooklyn. They were messengers from
the armory bearing the order for him
TO report When he refused 20 accom-
pany them they became abusive, ne de-
clares.
He was so wrought up by the incl

injuries in the neighborhood next
morning. and foun the men had pur-
sued similar tactics in other homes.

repeated to him. In a moment, however,
he relcnted.
