ENTER TEAMS
In the Athletic Events in
the Olympiad at
Antwerp
OTHERS MAY COME IN
i BEFORE EVENTS
Not a Single Contestant for
Rugby Football Has
Entered
Antwerp, July 15. Entry lists for
'the athletic events in the Olympiad,
which closed yesterday and were issued
to-day by the executive committee,
show only IS countries will partici
pate. Acceptances, however, were ex
pected from several others, including
France, Norway, Australia, New Zea
land and Japan, but their lists have
not arrived, cither because of mail or
cable delays or clerical errors. China,
British India, Jugo Slavia and Mexico
also failed to appear in the list.
It is the general opinion in Olympic
circles that the. rule calling for the
closing of the entries one month before
the events take place will not be too
.Hoselv enforced, as clerical errors have
been frequent and it is known that
mails, particularly those from the far
east, have been greatly delayed. The
dititions listed for the athletic contests
'are Canada, Chile, Kgypt, Denmark,
, Spain, the I'nited States, Finland,
Kticland, Greece, Holland, Italy, Lux
.emburg, Poland, .South Africa, Sweden,
Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and Es
thonia. Lists of individual competitors
are not yet available.
Entries for the fencing, tennis, class
ic pentathlon and wrestling closed to
day and the entry list for rowing
events, which closed last week was
made available. Fourteen countries
will compete in the fencing contests,
14 in tennis, seven in the classic pen
tathlon, 12 in the Greco-Roman wrest
ling, 11 in catch-as-catch-can wrest
ling and 13 in rowing. Although the
entries for rugby football will not close
for two weeks, not a single contestant
has been listed and it appears this
sport, like golf, may be abandoned in
this year's games. The revived list in
target archery competition shows Bel
gium, the I'nited States, Great Brit
ain and Holland among Ihc entries.
Canada, Denmark and Finland" have
ilieen added to the trap shooting lifts,
Lvhich were announced a few days ago.
Greece has been added to the rifle and
pistol lists, leaving four entries, the
United States, Spain, Belgium and
Great Britain.
Boxing' entries, which were made
available tonight showed competitors
from the United States, France, Hol
land, Italy, Norway, South Africa and
Switzerland. Belgium and Great Brit
ain were not shown on the list, but it
i understood they will enter candi
dates in this event.
Governor Cox' War Record.
The limitation and shortcomings of
the party organ with its narrow appeal
tv prejudice are illustrated by the pres
ent embarrassment of Governor Cox
with regard to certain so-called "pro
German" editorials which appeared in
his paper in 1013. 101ft and 1017. Gov
ernor Cox has explained that he did
not personally write them, but does
sot, as indeed he could not, disclaim re
sponsibility. One of them printed in
December, 101H, declared that the war
had "accomplished nothing for cither
side" and uttered the prayer, "God
grant that the next arm lifted to wield
a sword so foolishly may be paralysed.''
This hardly seems to bear the parti
san interpretation put upon it by the
Republican press since, by itself, it
cannot easily be construed as argu
ment against the later entry of the
United States into the war to defend
our national interests.
More capital is perhaps to be made
out of an earlier editorial in Governor
Cox paper ii November, 1015, which
declared that if an allied victory meant
increased aggies? iveness by Russia and
Japan, a derinan victory might be
more to the advantage of the I'nited
States. The files of Senator Harding's
paper will doubtless be searched and it
Is to be seen whether these editorials
In Cox' paper will do him more harm
than anything found in the Harding
sheet or Harding's attacks on Roose
velt in 1912 will hurt Harding. Govern
or Cox is fortunate in being able to
fall back tipnn what appears to be an
excellent record as Ohio' chief execu
tive after the United States entered
the struggle and. particularly, on what
is claimed to have been Colonel Rooae
velt'a endorsement of him as a war
governor.
Conditions changed radically after
these editorials appeared in the Day
ton News. The records of many men
and papers might, upon search, reea
statements they would not have cared
to make in later circumstances. But
the impres ion one now gets is that
mrh enibarrament a Governor Cox
will suffer from these editorials is pri
marily due to the psyrholocy of a pa
per controlled by a partisan view,
vhieh made tome measure of appeal
to the sympathies of the German vote
the natural i-ourse for the actual wield
er of the ed tofal pen while Governor
Cox was e:ther on the stump or at
tending to other mst'er. His predica
ment may nut proe srrioiis, but at
lesst it add" strenstb to the principle
that newspaper cnlrol and the seek
ing of poiifiral office should be sepa
tated - ''pr.Tigtield Republican.

BEGIN FLIGHT TO ALASKA
Four Army Airplanes Leave Mineola
for Nome, a 9,000-Mile Trip.
Mineola, N. Y., July 16. Four army
airplanes comprising the Alaskan fly
ing.expedition, left Mitchell field at

difficult air trip ever attempted in the
western hemisphere.

Captain St. Clair Street, United States
air service, is expected to make the
pioneer trip to Nome and return in ap
proximately 45 days.

MAY REDUCE COAL.
Price of Soft Product Expected to
Drop.
New York, July 16. A reduction in
the price of bituminous coal was pre
dicted yesterday by members of the
tub-committee of railroad officials and
coal operators, meeting here to com
plete details of a plan to relieve the
coal shortage in New York City, New
England, and the northwest.
By a scientific distribution of cars,
the committee hopes to provide, a
steady stream of coal to the affected
districts. Under this plan, the com
mittee members believe, the coal spec
ulators will find it impossible to exact
the high prices that the acute shortage
has made possible.
The car question alone is the stum
bling block, it was said.

The Accident to Resolute
Spoiled Fine Chance
for a Victory
.Sandy Hook, N. J., July 16, Repairs
on the cup sloop Resolute, whose
throat halyards parted in yesterday's
race when the victory over the Sham
rock IV. seemed well in hand, proceed
ed rapidly to-day, and there was every
prospect that the defender would be
ready for another joust in the Ameri
ca's cup match off Sandy Hook to-morrow.
"We will complete our work of ad
justing new halyards to-day,'' said
Robert W. Emmons, the managing
owner A new matal gall was to be
slung over the Resolute, and Captain
Charles Francis Adams, the cup yacht
skipper, did not seem unduly chagrined
over the accident that robbed him of a
fine chance of victory.
Nat Herreshoff, designer and builder
of the Resolute, made a careful inspec
tion of the, 70-footer and superintended
the repairs on board. Herreshoff had
no comment to make n the perform
ance of the Shamrock IV. Sailors on
the Resolute declared the Lipton chal
lenger cannot lift the cup, pointing out
that in the 10-mile beat to windward
yesterday in light airs, in which the
Lipton sloop is supposed to show to
best advantage, .the American racing
machine beat the F.nglishman, boat for
boat,, withwit any advantage that
might have come from a time-allowance
of six months, 40 seconds, which
Resolute is allowed over a 30-mile
course.
The Shamrock's crew were happy to
dity aboard their tender KJillaritey,
while (Sir Thomas Lipton beamed on
visitors, who called to congratulate
him on board his steaw yacht, the Vic
toria. The accident to Resolute, eoming'oti
top of three other major mihap earl
ier in the season the los of the mast
off New Haven, the breaking-of the
jau-a o-llt' atT -and the carrying
away of a ..top. mast, oil NewporW-Uad
a tendency to shake the faitli In the
ability of the Herreshoff craft to hold
together until the end' of theieason.
It was shown, however, in yester-dayS-jaVa'tEat
tea 'Resoliile exhibited
bi tter wefttherly Tjilallties and in light
ah-a she was several minutes faster up
the breeze than Shamrock IV., al
though it was on just such sjoint-f
sailing and under just such conditions
that the rhallenger was supposed to be
superior.
The two yachts have yet to test
their relative" abilities down the breeze
or broad off under large reaching saiis.
This is expected to come to-morrow in
a 30 mile race over a triangular eouree.
It was also anticipated to-day that
Designer Nicholson and Captain Bur
ton of Shamrock IV. would endeavor
to obtain a re-measurement of the
challenger in th hope of still further
reducing the handicap time allowance,
since it has been explained that the
challenger is using much smaller cub
top sail than was included in the origi
nal measurement of New York Yacht
club oflic.ials.
PLEASED AT BELFAST.
Over Shamrock's First Win in the
Yacht Races.
Belfast, July 16. News that Sham
roc 'l IV. had won the first raceagainst
Resolute in the series for the America's
cup was received amid joyous scenes
at Bangor Down bn-t night, because
in the event of the ultimate victory of
Sir Thomas Lip on 'a yacht, future
races will occur there." Large crowds
there for the rejratta being held during
the present week, awaited reports of
the result of the race with intense interest.

Roads and Creat iiikes naval training
stations. Enrollments for the schools
were received at the navil recruiting

quired to pass the ordinary qualifica
tions for enlistment in the navy.
Provision for thes; schools was made
in the last annual appropriation bill.
Those attending are required to enroll
for three months in the naval recrve
force. They will receive the pay of
apprentice seamen for the six weeks'
course, amounting in all to about $"0

ORIGIN OF MANY
SUPERSTITIONS
Why Flag Is Lowered for Death and
Ship Referred to at
"She."
The barber's pole has a curious his
tory. In other times barbera were also
surgeons, and practiced the art of
blood letting, and a pole was given to
the patient to hold in his hand in order
to let the blood run more freely. The
pole should have a line of blue paint,
one of red and one of white, winding
round tta length, blue representing the
blood in the veins, red the blood in the
arteries and white the bandages.
When some illustrious person dies,
fisgs are lowered to half-mast. If the
average man in the street was inter
rogated for an explanation he would
probably say it was just the usual cus
tom. However, there is a distinct mean
ing in this, for the space bove ia left
for the tlag of the angel of death.
A ship is inariably spoken of a of
the feminine gender; this is traced to
the ancient Greeks, who called all ships
feminine names out of respect to
Athene, goddes of the sea.
Friday is belie. ed to be an unlucky
day by those who are superstitious. It
is "derived from the fact that it was
the day of Christ's crucifixion, as well
a the" one on whah Adam and Kve
ate the forbidden fruit.
Few. perhaps, are aware why a
freonentlv attached to
a church steeple. This is believed to
remind people ot reters aenmi 01
Christ.
Journalists are spoken of a "mem
bers of the Fourth K.state." Burke is
generally credited a being the origi
nator of the phrase, for while address
ing Parliament one day he said there
were three branches of government, the
king, the House of Ixrds and the House
of Commons, the Thrre K.state; but,
turning round to the reporters' gallery,
he added: "There sits the Fourth K.s
tate, far more important 'ban the
others."

Everybody to Work!
An immediate and energetic resump
tion of business is in order throughout
the I'nited States. There is no excuse
for further timidity on the part of cap
ital or further slacking on the part of
labor. The two giant arms of Ameri
can progress are capital and labor.
They are in good position, with profit
on one side and high wages on the
other. The nation is in fine shape phys
ically, with enormous crops coming on,
assuring the foundations of prosperity.
The output, of one year of agriculture
in the United States is worth as much
as the total value of the railroads.
Twenty billion dollars in round num
lers is contributed to the wealth of
the country every "year from the soil.
If a people cannot lie happy and com
fortable on that contribution from na
ture, they do not deserve to have such
a rich patrimony.
The political situation is most en
couraging. Two splendid men have
been 'nominated for president. The
country will not undergo dangers and
losses with either Harding or Cox as
helmsman. They are careful, busi
nesslike men, airustomed to carry re
sponsibility and to look ahead at con
sequences." They have no pet theories
to exploit at the nation's expense. They
are not detached from the common run
of men. They know that the hearts
beating under bine jumpers are Amer
ican hearts, identical in feeling with
the hearts that beat under silk. The
welfare of the whole country i the
ardent desire of each of these Ohioians.
Behind each stands a party ready to
be led in conservative and construc
tie paths. The industry of the I'nit
ed States now has absolutely nothing
to fear in regard to the political out
come. All individuals engaged in in
dustry', whether hiring or hired, should
now turn away from politics and con
ventions and go to work. Washington
Post.
Eager to Have It Out.
"Kate never seems to grasp any
thing you tell her." ,
"No; she's the kind of woman who
instead of listening to what you are
saying is already listening to what she
is going to say." Boston Transcript.
