"ANNIE OAKLEYS" FOR
WHITMAN'S FRIENDS

Frederick A. Wenck, the deposed chair
man of the State Athletic Commission,
when asked to comment on the action Of
Gov. Whitman, expressed regret that he
had not been able to rid the boxing game
of the undesirables in the sport Mr..
Wenck said in part:
Il am not ashamed that indorsed the
note of lifelong friend to help him
make some money, even though he hoped
to make 1t in boxing. Neither am I
ashamed that borrowed $500 for a week
from another old friend notwithstand-
ing he was then managing a boxer.
''As for the free tickets I received from
boxing clubs. most of them were de-
manded of me and used by friends Of
Gov. Whitman"

Board Floor Track Built on
Franklin Field for Practice

A board floor, track, measuring
an eighth or a mile, has been built
on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, for
the purpose of giving the U. of p.
athletes place to practice their
stunts. COACH Lawson Robertson
evolved this idea. The track was
completed last Saturday.
The track is in the middle Of
the football field, eliminating the
improvised track under the stands.
Most Of Robertson's indoor per-
formers ran trial races on 1t yes
terday. They stated that the track
was one of the best they ever
ran on.
On the old track the athletes
feared that they might be set down
with rheumatism. On the new one
they get the benefit of the sun
during afternoon practice. The men
wear heavy sweaters and full
length woolen trunks.

INIT FRANCE HARD Before
JUS ARRIVES, HUNS HOPE
Smashing Of Ffenehmen, Frank 81,
monds Asserts, Only Chance Of
German Victory.
BY FRANK II. sIMONDs.
Copyright, 1879

Whatever may be the truth with ref
erence to the imminence of a new Ger
man offensive in the west, it is patent
that the sole remaining chance for a
German victory in this war lies in an
offensive which shall dispose of France
before the United States can arrive.
The Russian collapse has provided
Germany with a strategic reserve in
the west for the first time since Nerdun.
1t is possible now for the Germans to
repeat the verdun attack upon France
without weakening their lines at any
point on the west front. If they can
defeat the French overwhelmingly. or
If they can impose upon the French
such great losses as to produce ap-
proximate exhaustion. they may hope to
achieve separate peace with France
before the United States can become an
effective force in the war.
In the winter of 1855 the British
army was incapable of supporting the
French by an offensive in Flanders or
by reinforcements in Lorraine. Not un-
til July was the British army able to
move. and it was then obliged to bear
heavy casualties because it was still
imperfectly PREPARED for a battle test.
From February until July France had
to bear the burden of the German at
tack upon Nerdun alone,

Morale Favors British.

AS between the British and the Ger
mans, the situation as to morale is un-
mistakabIy favorable to the British.
They have never made the great losses
of the Germans or vet felt the pinch of
economic and food pressure. They have
behind them a long stretch of local but
unmistakabte victories on the offensive,
and there is no such WEAKNESS in the
British nation as has been induced by
invasion and devastation in France. II
is inconceiyable that the Germans can
hope to break the British spirit by any
offensive that they might conduct now.
On the other hand, it would be idle to
mistake the danger which must now be
for all of US as a result of French sacri-
fee and devotion in the first three years
of the war. We are bound to recognize
that from the Marine to the Somme
France was obliged to bear the burden
of the war practically single-handed.
We are bound to Recognize now that,
despite the very best intentions and
the very best efforts. America will be
quite as powerless to aid France de-
at the time of Verdun.
Ittook the British from August 1914,
to July, 1916, to raise and organize a
pearance on the offensive in the battle
at the Somme and did not achieve real
efficiency for some months thereafter
not, in fact, until Beaumont-Hamel,i in
November. We shall not surpass the
British in speed for action next year,
