formed the Senate that $4,000 trials
by general courts martial had been

AMERICA READY
SEND TEAM NEXT
OLYMPIC GAMES

New York, Feb. 10.-"America
stands ready to send q representative
athletic team to the next Olympic
games regardless of the time or
place which may he designated" This
was the answer OF prominent ANA
teur athletic unions to the query Of
the Swedish Athletic Association
made through United States Minister
Morris at Stockholm recently.
Thc track and field authorities of
this country have been actively en-
gagged since the signing Of the armis-
tice in preparing for u worldwide re-
vival in competitive athletics. Swe-
den. however. is not the only nation
which desires to hold the games and
it is probable that a conference of
the International Olympic Games
committee will be necessary in the
near future. to pass upon this phase
of the situation. especially if the meet
is to be staged in 1920 as appears
probable.
Whatever the date. the Olympic
games will be preceded by several in
tcrnational track meets Of more or
less formal character either in this
country 0: Europe. The Swedish A. A.
has already cabled to the A. A. U.
suggesting an international meet in
this country next autumn and offer
ins 10 send a team of Is athletes for
competitions against a picked Ameri-

Of Getmany's failure to comply WIN
the armistlce terms. notably IN the
handing over of artillery, submarines
and agricultural machinery.
LAS evidence OF the German spirit,
the correspondent continued. "Marshal
Foch mentioned an occasion when no
summoned German commission TO
meet him and they failed to appear at
the time and place indicated. 1t was
only after strong pressure on MS part
that the meeting eventually took place.
According to Marshal Foch's esti-
mate the Germ ms are now capable OF
placing an army Of 100000 in the field
in two months time
The correspondent adds:
1T is desired to make renewal OF
the war impossible under the conditions
laid down Feb. Il. The terms suggest
ed include the handing over Of the
whole Of the German artillery: CON-
pulsory reduction OF the German army
20 % divisions with machine guns for
the internal policing Of the empire; and
occupation by 'se Allies Of the Krhu
district, which includes Essen.
During an important debate on these
proposals the further suggestion was
made that, in view OF Germanys atti.
tude toward the Allies, SHOULD also re.
vert to the initial demand for the hand.
ing over of transport. which was mod
iiied on account Of Germany's plea OF
impossibility."

London. Fb. 10-The British i'm
port restriction board has modified
the proposed embargo on American
products. which, will be reimposed on
March I, to allow the importation of
American boots and shoes to the ex-
tent of twenty-five percent Of the
number imported in 1918. This an
nouncement virtually nullifies the
the efforts of the joint conference of
importers and British manufacturers
which is attempting to agree up..n
some modified plan Of the import re-
strictions which would prove agree
able to both sides and which the
British government would accept.
