from Senator Tillman in which Blcasc
was denounced as pro German, "a
traitor to his country and his god" "a

letter was written to G. l.. Jones of

the assertion by the Charleston Amer

Blcase. The letter follows:

would centre in the work at Annapolis

there will be deep interest in the

Allied Soldiers
HoldBig Athletic
Me@t in Paris

By far the biggest athletic competi-
tlons N connection with the war front
took place in Paris Sunday, July s, ac-
cording to a censored letter received
here yesterday. The meet was styled
the Inter-Allied Military Championship
and was held in the Colombes Stadium
before crowd Of 100000 persons,
among whom were number of govern
ment officials, ambassadors and mill
tary leaders.
No less than 10000 soldiers partici-
pated in the preliminaries, which we're
held some time ago in the different
military training camps, fact which
shows some good work on the part of
the Americans who have gone across to
prepare the soldiers.
Mixed in the competitions we're
Frenchmen, Americans, Belgians, Ital-
ians, Serbians and Portuguese, but,
singularly enough, no Englishmen.
The great contest of the day was the
1000 metre, the main issue being be-
tween the Americans and French, and
quite unexpectedly the Yankees had to
give way to their opponents, notwith-
standing the fact that on the American
com mbination were Meredith, the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania flyer; Jack
Eller, formerly of the Irish A. A. c.,
and Tommy Lennon, Of the New York
A c. The name of the other man was
not given.
On the French team were Andre, the
all-aro1nd athlete and football kicker,
and Gauthier. a tiptop quarter miller.
A pile of money was lost on the Amer
lean team.
The sensation of the meet was the
victory of Georges Carpenter, the box
er, in the 100-mctre run The time was
given as II seconds. Carpenter is now
a monitor in the aviation school at
Joinyille, and it is unlikely that he Will
ever again be asked to go to the front.
A new worlds record for hand gren-
ade throwing was established by Bel
gian. whose name was not mentioned.
He hurled the missile 70 yards, and
beat the nearest opponent By over 40
feet

Heads of Service Academies
Cannot Ask Baker and
Daniels for Waiver

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. a.-Whether the
i0o'Dail game between the teams Of the
naval and military academies is to be
prayed this year is matter which
must De settled within a short TINA or
'he necessary arrangements cannot be
made. AS 1t now stands it is barred
oy the rule promulgated by the Secre-
taries Of War and Navy providing that
all athletic contests must be plaved on
the home grounds. 1t is necessary to
procure d waiver of this rule to make
the playing OF the game practicable.
but the authorities Of neither institu-
ton are in position to ask for it. II
the game is to be played the depart
ment heads must act on their own
initiative.
When the United States entered the
war competitions with outside teams
were barred for time both at Anna
polls and West Point. Then the
permission Of the departments was
obtained to the playing Of match games
with outside teams in most Of the
usual branches, but on condition that
all games were TO be played on the
home grounds. Only in rare instances
had the service teams contested on
their own grounds except against each
other. The academy officials now feel
that they cannot ask their chiefs to
make further concessions.
Many believe Secretaries Daniels and
Baker could be induced to consider the
matter. 1t is well known that both
enjoy sports and favor great deal Of
athletics in the service. The Army
NaYy football game ia Of course the
big service athletic Of the year and
no contest would excite so much in
terest, particularly as the bigger foot
bail institutions viii not play or only
play in small way this season. 1t
has bccn suggested that the gure be
played either IN New York or Phila-
dclpnia and that the receipts be given
20 the Red Cross or other war fund.
Teams representing camps, fleets and
vessels have been permitted TO make
long trips to contest with each other
