went into overseas work, one Of Its
first acts was to purchase and ship
tons Of athletic equipment. Up to the
present the "Y" has provided hun
dreds Of athletic directors recruited
from the foremost athletes Of earlier
generations and tons Of sporting para
phernalia. The X. of c., starting n
little later, Is developing similar
program. Directors use every art to
get the backward, the shy, the non
athletic soldier into the games for the
good of his body and his morale, q
tremendous aid to the winning OF the
war. The "Y" and X. Of Q. men seek
to enlist the greatest number Of men
In sports rather than to develop a
small team Of crack athletes.
TIE figures, based on the activities
of one unit, show the result. They
were taken in q comparatively small
region and were selected at random.
Baseball engaged the attention Of
.423 men Of this region In q week.
The games were witnessed by 1900
men, which would be considered very
good weekly attendance for minor
league club. and as many spectators
as big league team In the second d.
vision often draws In seven days. Here
the proportion of players to spectators
IS one to ten, while In league baseball
1t would be l to 400. figuring 30 play
ers as the average number appearing
weekly on the diamond.
Volley Ball First.
VOlley ball, probably the most popu-
lar game for soldiers, engaged 1905
players with large gallery. Boxing
ranked third In popularity, with 1,027
men participating, while 1900 soldiers
looked on. Compare that one to nine
average with big fist fight crowd
viewing the efforts Of two men. Ten
mis- exercised 227 men, while S05 par
ticipated in track and field sports. Bas-
ket ball engaged 1893 soldiers, while in
door baseball, soccer and rugby foot
ball worked the muscles and minds of
hundreds. Just as Waterloo was won
on England's cricket and football fields,
so this war may be decided by the
athletic contests Of the clean-livlng,
hard-hltting American boys.

SILK INDUSTRY

SHANGHAI, May 1l.-(Correspon.

the silk industry OF China is suffering
for want of governmental assistance
and that such should be forthcoming
At an early date. is the substance of
resolution adopted by members of
the foreign silk association at a re-

In view of the large amount con-

such aid should be of a substantial

French commercial attache; Julean
Arnold, American commercial attache,
NJ. Muller. NJ. Nader, president of
the French chamber of commerce, and
others. The commercial attaches and
representatives of the Chinese silk
guilds promised cooperation.
The chairman in his address cited
figures to illustrate the value of gov

ciate that the law cannot be changed

a PIECE OF
POOR JUDGMENT

Unto whom is the discredit due for
the fact that up until the time this ar
ticle was written I'll a M, it was
still unsettled as TO whether or not
the circus would put on their usual
street parade? The whole PROPOSE
ton centers about the city ordinance
requiring the payment OF a license
fee OF $50 for putting on a street pa
rade. The circus is insisting that
they should be allowed to parade with
out the license, the city officials are
Just as insistent that they shall not.
The poor judgment latent in this
matter can be divided, not in proper
ton. however. between the city coun-
Gil who passed the ordinance and the
circus management itself. The major
part OF the criticism can well be d.
rected at the supervisors. For the
life OF US we cannot see what Is TO
be gained by hanging up a street pa
rade with a license fee. A parade is
always an essential part of a circus
and when the show pays its perform
ance fee that should be sufficient. II
II is desired that the fee should con
template a parade license the whole
charge should be against the per-
Torrance account and not against the
parade, which is always the only free
feature put on by the big tents. Many
people see circus parade who cannot
afford to view the show itself. II
stimulates business because II brings
people down town and necessarily a
number OF them are bound to spend
money among the business houses
which otherwise would remain In
their pocketbooks to be doled out q
little at a time at some future date
II further enables the people TO judge
OF the merit OF the show itself.
poor parade. or a showing that is be
low par, indicates to the onlooker thu
standard OF the show and many peo
pie attend or stay away from a circus
because OF their Judgment as to IL
worth based upon the parade. II

Much excitement was caused at the Louisville and Nashville railroad shor at Boyles yesterday about noon when the news spread among the employees that George Vogt, one of the foremen, was alleged to have said he hoped every American soldier in France would be killed before he got back.

He apologized and was not arrested.
