The metropolitan district (New
York City, was overwhelmed in
its drive. to switch the site OF the

Ralph M. Marlowe Of Philadel-
phia, serving as chairman Of the
boxing group, said the four men
sent to London and their coach
would be determined by mail vote
after the present convention.

Grams, it meant the same-the roae

little shorter, a little less bloody
but they could realize more lts

Some people also thought tina
if there was any doubt left in the
minds of the Japanese war lords
as to the final out come of the
war, Russias entry should take
away that doubt.
Most people in the street die
not seem surprised at Russias en-
try into the conflict, they had felt
for some time that it would come
They just weren't sure when i1
would happen.

they're through now" a hotel clerk
