sive Of prize fighting. Goullet is the
biggest money maker. He averages
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year,
including six-day competition and

will make $4,000 on the present
race If he wins as many concede he
will. despite having a rather poor
partner in Belloni. the Italian.
Teamed with Ernest Kochler in
the Chicago six-day race a month
ago. Goullet won and made some
thing more than $4,000. He is
thirty-one years old and q splendid
athlete. His body is a thing of
finely webbed steel. Biking is his
game, he took to it naturally, it
seemed. years ago when he quit his
fathers ranch in Australia.
Since then he has done great
things and is the star of stars. He
is now a naturalized citizen. He
competes here and abroad in six
day and other bike events. Every

His name Goullet. minus one 81"
is Gallo, it means inlet, a narrow
passageway to harbor, and that
there Is something in q name L

There are many foreign stars in

all these people pinched by hard

Even the workmen protected by
their labor unions and thus enabled
to force up their earnings-in paper

to keep their families in comfort.
And it is here that the internal
foes of Germany ct busy.
To the left stand the Communists
to some extent fortified by Bolshe-
vik money.
To the right stand the mon
archists, largely financed by the
great l~and-owning Junker class.
Communist agitators are very
busy among the city workmen and
the peasant laborers.
They say the present republic is
a Hal failure.

thoughtless minds appear upon city

enemies Of the workers were the
capitalists, the leaders of the old
political parties, and the foolish
sheep who allowed themselves to
be led to the slaughter.
On the extreme right and more
dangerous to the sorely troubled re-
pubic are the Kaiserists. They have
their newspapers and their PAM
phleteers. They point out Germany's
sad plight and then they bark back
to the good old days under the
kaiser.
In some sections of Germany, re-
cent elections have shown an in
crease in the voices for the Mon
archist party. While the Commune
lists dream of red revolution which
make Germany Bolshevik the Mon
archists plan for another "putsch"
which will once more put them in
the saddle.
My own judgment is that there is
more danger from the Monarchtsts
than from the Communists.
