United States and her mother coun- try long years ago will sink deeper into it's grave!
 The American colony in England will flock to this event. It will mark the first time that an American crew has competed in the Royal Regatta; :; usually it has inspired interested Americans as sporting occasion. Now it will exercise a double appeal with its American entry.
 Needless to say, the outcome of this race will be watched with supreme attention on both sides of the Atlantic. Should the American crew cover itself with glory the thousands of khaki clad boys who. will crowd the banks of the Thames to watch the event on the Fourth as we'll as the circles of sport followers on this side of the sea will feel that 1t Is a Fourth of July worth remembering.
 In France
 For all the men and officers on duty in France the Fourth of July celebra- ton will sweep in the direction of the road to Joinville 1e Pont, near Paris. Here is the great Pershing stadium, which is now being built. by American when the French workmen engaged upon it called a countrywide strike. They are working ahead of scheduled time and when the first of the Inter Allied games is held the stadium,

which General Pershing is to present to the French people as gift from the American Army, will be a com plete structure.
 The Inter-Allied events will be held for period covering the days between June 22 to July 6. The entire meet will virtually be the 1919 Olympic event.
 The rulers of the earth will be present; a distinguished audience of military geniuses; men from the ar mics of the world; sportsmen from every country that takes an interest in any form of sport will be on hand to watch the entries which cover every form of game known to civilized man.
 President Wilson has presented one of the trophies. The American Army men who represent the United States on the various teams give evidence victory and excellence reached at the Olympic games of by-gone years. From all signs stirring it would seem that the Inter-Allied event of 1919 which will furnish the main diversion for the Fourth of July to the American soldiers in France, everyone of whom are lovers of sport, promises to be the greatest affair of its kind on rec ord.
 Track and Field events, in which American athletes have come off vic tors in previous Olympic games, will have the majority of American en-

 The nations who have entered their military men cover nearly all of the Allies. The United States, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Belgium, Czecho- Slovakia and Roumania.s.
 The characteristic rules of national games prevailing in different countries will be followed as for instance, Amer ican rules for. baseball will obtain, English rules for cricket, French rules for fencing, etc.
 The American and English sports men excel in outdoor sports. The

personnel of unusual strength will be finally chosen.
 Men known in the annals of Amer ican track affairs will be entered 10 capture the trophies for their country in this Inter-Allied event. It is easy to imagine the shouting and excite ment that will prevail in the Pershing stadium on Independence Day when Americans carry off the prizes.
 There is every reason to be conf dent of victory. Five members of the 1912 Olympic team, including an American Interscholastic and an American Collegiate record holder are listed. One other Interscho1astic rec ord holder is on the list and almost any number of A. A. U. and collegiate winners.
 Events To Whet Interest On The Fourth
 Many different events will be held at the Inter-Allied meet. The program of events has not reached this country at this writing, therefore it is difficult to forecast just which will be arranged for presentation on the Fourth of July. They are: Baseball, basket
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-06-28

French and Italian men with athletic proclivities go in for fencing, boxing and marksmanship where finesse and dexterity are the requirements.g The American doughboy will have an op- portunity to see the worlds sports men on exhibition in these Allied competitions. During the war he was able to size up the fighting prowess of the citizens of European nations: now he will be given the chance to see how they measure up in peace time contests
 In Germany
 No such interesting events will transpire in Germany for the delight and pleasure of the American boys who are serving in the Army of Oc- equation stationed at Coblenz and along the Rhine.
 However, much that will amuse them and help them to pass the Fourth of July will be in operation. At Coblenz tennis matches will be staged for the followers of this ex-' citing game. There are baseball leagues without end in Germany from regimental size to the Rhine Valley League. To expect that these Amer ican hines will not pull off a stunt for Independence Day that will thrill the boys who are far from home is to possess no understanding Of the American type of mind. At the rec reation center at Neuwied, Germany. tugs of war are taking rank as a sporting event par excellence. Six man teams are challenging teams of every company, battalion regiment, division or corps, and the contest that will take place on the Fourth of July ought to prove entertaining to hun dreds of men on duty in that vicinity.
 Movies will probably constitute the chief form of diversion for men sta- toned in Archangel, other parts of Russia, the Italian Riviera, Constan- tinople and Holland @s
 From boys who have organized baseball teams. theatrical companies, circuses, parades, wild west shows with Indians and everythin', one may have well-founded visions,s of them rigging up big event for the glori- ous Fourth, wherever they happen to be spending the day.
 If there is a good time stirring, bet on the American Expeditionary Forces to have celebration on their nations birthday.

tries. American athletes in the army in France have been training in prep aration for the event for som etime past. And in addition a team of fifty men from the army held in this coun- try has sailed for France to aid their skill and sinew to the American balance.
 Colonel Wait c. Johnson, of General Pershing's staff is at the head of the committee which is planning the events. Aiding him is pr. Joseph E. Raycroft, the chairman of the Com mittee on Athletics of the Commis- sion on Training Camp Activities of the War Department.
 The athletes of reputation who are serving in the army at home or abroad have been recruited for the American teams. Preliminary games have been held in France by teams which in clude men in three departments ~of the army, Service of Supply, Army of Occupation and Base Forts. The win ners of these games have been lined up and put in training. The men sent from the army that was held at home will try for their places on the Amer ican teams and it is evident that a

Is the way of Americans, at
 home or abroad, to celebrate with
 gala spirit the day that represents - to them the birthday of their na- tion-Independence Day. The glorious Fourth is always a day that brings a flush of warmth around the heart.
 This year it is to be more glorious than ever. Despite the fact that more than a million of American citizens will spend the Fourth on foreign soil. families all over the length and breadth of the States know what it truly means to make a supreme sacri- flee for liberty and independence, and the day will carry with 1t a new sig nificance to both of them. Victory on the battlefelds of Europe proves that the Americans of today are constituted similarly to their sturdy forefathers; the same ability to fight for the right and win the fight is manifest. This realization cannot help but color all celebrations of the Fourth.
 In England
 Nothing Is more compellent of uni- versal interest than a competitive game between citizens of different na- tions. For this reason the great sporting event of England-the Royal Henley Regatta on the Thames which this year Is to be made an in- ternational event In celebration of peace will be one of the greatest at- fractions on the other side of the At lantic on the Fourth of July. While the regatta will extend over a period of three days July 3. and 5, the most interesting events of the boating contests will take place on the birth day of the United States. Verify, the hatchet which was buried by the
