GERMAN OLYMPIAN KILLED.
Hans Braun Meets Death Day
Amistice Was Declared.

According tS the latest issues of the
Idrottsbladet Of Stockholm receivedin
this country. Hans Braun, the famous
German middle-dlstance runner who
rsR second 10 Charley Reidpath in the
40 meter event at the Stockholm,
Olympaid in 1912, met his death on
the morning the armistice was de-
clared. Braun was an aviator and
was brought down somewhere on the
Western front.
Besides taking second place in the
40 meter event at the Stockholm
Olympiad and working his way into
the finals in the 500 meter contest
Braun also figured in the London
Olympiad Of 1893. running third to
Sheppard and Lunghi in the 800 meter
event. He won the British half-miIe
championship in 1909 and is holder of
the German so meter record of l. "a 4-5.
American athletes who met Braun
say he was a likable chap. Appar-
emily the Swedes are of the same
opinion, for the Idrottsbladet in
commenting upon him says: He was
SO splendid a fellow it was hard to be-
lieve he was a German" Braun saw
service in the world war from the
start. He was a possessor Of the

SOIL OF FRANCE
BROUGHT TO U. S.
Fifty Acres Unloaded In
Heart of Virginia City
by Transports.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. Sit is not neces-
sary to go to France to put your foot
on French soil
There Is fifty acres OF new made
land almost in the heart Of Norfolk
composed entirely of soil brought
from France within the last year. 1t
was brought over by naval trans
ports.
When American transports sailed
for France from American shores
during the war. they carried troops
and supplies. When they started back
to America there were no cargoes Tor
them in French ports, so it was neces-
sary for some Of them to carry some
thing for ballast. There being moth
ing else handy. tons upon tons OF
French soil was loaded into the holds
OF returning ships just to balance
them in case they encountered rough
weather on the voyage.
Used to Retain Marshe~-
When the ships reached America
the Oil was unloaded and used to re-
claim marshy lands. More than fifty
acres of low land was filed with this
French soil at the St. Helena naval
base This land was never used be-
fore the French soil arrived. Now
1t is being made into attractive
grounds which may also include flow
er gardens.
There are some interesting stories
told about the French soil and what
was found in the dirt when 1t was
being unloaded from American ships.
There is no official records that the
stories are true. but naval men say
growing rose bushes, torn notes from
French girls and other things that go
10 make a romance were found in the
dirt
One Of the alleged notes, or that
part Of it that was found in the
French soil reads:
Charley. if you don't come for me
shall come to your land. and then
We
The sailors have named the newly
made soil "Frenchland." While this
name will not be recognized by the
government because the reclaimed
lands is on a reservation, the name
will probably become popular with
enlisted men.
