Pre- Nious announcements of the dates and programs for the contests provide a complete schedule upon which to work.
 Spectators Out of Luck.
 Under the decision awarding the meet to pershing stadium near Paris it is believed here that, while track and field competition conditions will be satisfactory for the participants, the spectators will lack accommoda- tions that would have been available had the stadium been erected with the proposed plan of making it a permanent athletic memorial for all future amateur sport contests in Paris, Ii is understood that much reconstruction work will have to be done to bring the present stadium up to d satisfactory standard The track and inield will also have to be re-surfaced rolled and otherwise treated if it is to be in condition for fast performances.
 Stadium Dimensions.
 Pershing stadium built in the six weeks preceding June 16, 1919, is shaped like d horseshoe, though not re scmbling any of the prominent Am ar ri 1, of about nine acres. It is of concrete.
 Originally there were 25,000 seats and standing space for 15,000. Every seat affords an unobstructed look at the field Short distance events finish before the small, roofed grandstand.
 The field is described as ideally level about 52,000 cubic feet of earth having been moved to fill depressons. The track for long distance contests is oval shaped, with long straight aways and slow curving ends.
 Stands Around Field.
 Stands surround the entire field, but only a small section, originally in- tended for officials and prominent spectators is covered with roof. It seats 2,300. Beneath it are most of the dressing quarters. The amphi- theater can be quickly emptied, exits being provided at intervals in the walls
 The two straightaways are nearly 230 yards long and approximately Ii feet wide. The length of the oval track is about $40 yards. Where the dashes are held before the grand stand the straightaway is merged with the wider track Four layers of cinders, originally 50 centimeters thick, have been rolled into the track.

BUSY R. R. STATION
Melbourne Central Depot Has Repu- tation of Being the Busiest in All the World.

Sydney, N. s. w.. March 31.-The Melbourne Central station is the bus jest railroad terminal in the world, ac- cording to the contention advanced today by the Nictorial Railway au- thorities, who contend that more trains are handled there daily than at any of the other large stations.
 In 1913 a count showed that 1,377 passenger, IA freight trains, and 176 switch engines passed through the Melbourne Htate and recent clectrifi- cation has raised the total number of trains to 1.500 daily. These carry at least 200,0o passengers, it is said.
 Prior to the war, the Liverpool street station in London was regard ed as the busiest in the world, with 1920 passenger trains carrying be- tween 1S0,000 and 100000 passengers daily.
 The Victorian authorities contend that the Melbourne station handles more trains and more passengers than the St. Luzare station in France, the South Boston station in Boston or the Grand Central terminal in New York city.

by the scant margin of 32 points can scarcely be called decisive.
 However there is nothing to pre- vent Schaefer and Hoppe playing match without the title being at stake and there is general demand for such a meeting. There is little doubt that it would draw capacity crowds wherever staged, but the chances are that Schaefer would not be able to entertain any such proposition until after he has played Cochran. He would scarcely care to subject him. self to the strain of such meeting on what might be termed the eye of his meeting with Cochran.

HAYNES DECLARES
DRY FIGHT SUCCESS
Prohibition Not Breaking
Down Morals of Country,
He Says, Citing Data:
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, December 5.-Roy
A. Haynes. federal prohibition COM
missioner. addressing the law enforce
ment conference Of the Anti-Saloon
League here, declared:
There never was so drastic a law
passed in any civilization which has
been so successfully enforced in such
a short time 1t is not true that pro-
hibition is breaking down the morals
of the country. The law is enforced
as well as any law on the books"
The commissioner said one of the
biggest problems of prohibition en-
fOrcement was the alien population.
Aliens. he asserted, did not seem to
understand the law. He favored edu-
eating and showing them the benefits
of the law. and urged that aliens who
violated the eighteenth amendment re-
peatedly should be deported.
But the business man, the profess
sional and some officials also violate
law, and the time has come when
these must be harshly dealt with" he
said. Every citizen has a contract
with the government to obey it's laws,
and if they do not keep their con-
tracts we will have bolshevism."
Reduced Consumption.
In supporting his statement that
prohibition enforcement was sue
cessful. Haynes asserted that before
the passage of the law the annual
consumption of whisky was 133.000.-
600 gallons a year, that at the pres
ent time there are only 3S.O00.O00 gall
Ions in public warehouses: in 1920
the Withdrawals were reduced to 49,
100000. and this year would total
only 100000 gallons.
He declared the biggest problem
before the enforcement bureau now Is
smuggling. He said the dry navy"
of Subchasers was doing good work
and that much had been accomplished
by the use of airplanes.
He charged that large fleet of
