only one mark which seems to
stand out of reach of modern
athletes. This is the record of

made by Maxey Long at Gutten-

The 100-yard dash, the 22O,

have gone to smash. Even the
broad jump record made by Pat

FAVOR 4-MILE RACE

If the stewards of the inter
collegiate regatta decide, as it is
rumOred they may, to go back
to the fOur-mile distance at
POughkeepsie or some other
course, there are many follow
ers of rowing who will be great
ly pleased.
There is something about that
last mile that has an enduring
lure for those who have fol
lowed these historic races. Since
the change to the three miles,
old race-gOers have found some
thing missing. True, the third
mile is the last mile" even
now, but it is minus the tradi-
ton and also the tenseness of
the final mile in the fOur-miler.

Amount Is First Point.
One Of the first points to be settled
is the amount of the loan to Germany
which Is considered essential to real
settlement. This, according to the
Journal, falls within the special prov

Kiderslee, British delegate, and DR.,

These three will also have to re-
solve to what extent Germany will
participate in the issue, for it is felt
that, inasmuch as Germany is to get
part of the loan to help in her eco

quired to invest therein some of the
foreign currency estimated at 5000
100000 gold marks, which she pos.
