noise proceeded from a patch Of wood

half a dozen great Gothas circling
overhead at an altitude of nearly 90

NEW YORK, April Wholesale
calling off of college athletics in the
United States since this country and
Germany decided to fight it out is a
doubtful method of helping the nation
prepare for its struggle. Depriviug the
country's young men of their opportun-
ity for physical competition and con-
sequent slack in upbuilding Of tissue
and health hardly seems the way to get
them ready to Join any branch OF fight
ing forces.
Major General Leonard Wood, the
foremost military figure in the country,
is strong supporter of athletics IN
every form. He believes in the games
because they build strong bodies, clean
minds and fearless character. There are
Others who want to see a certain per-
centage OF athletics continue.
The Penn relay meet has not been
called of. 1t has been stated by ath-
letic authorities at Pennsylvania Onl-
versity that the meet will be turned
into a magnificent patriotic demonstra-
ton as we'll as a gathering OF some OF
the nations most prominent athletes.
Harvard. Cornell and Michigan uni
versities. however, have given notice
that they will not send teams to the
competition this year. As they are
three of the most important schools who
send teams TO competitions OF this kind
the. meet will suffer from their absence
The meet itself should prove, however
that athletics are necessary part oi
preparation for military service.
In addition to the physical value oi
athletics. there will be another value
in the fact that college games and th'
happy spirit that goes with them vii
serve to take strain off the nerves Of
thousands. Diversion viii be greatly

1t was just two minutes after in
the morning as the clock struck -
when Idaresay, the great detectuff,
came dashing out Of his secret expert

alone worked. Not another human be-

Idaresay was headed for Smyth's

obstacles he left in his wake. He
swung into swift pace as he skidded
into Smyths roost

Slowly Smith showed his head from

screeched, fully aroused and already
