Twenty-four allied nations are aligible to compete. Two weeks before the closing of the entries, eighteen had announced their in- tention of participating, and tkere is every evidence that the remain- ing six will alco be represented. The entry lists already filed give promise that more than 2,000 ath- letes, the pick of the world’s fight- ing men, will be in the competi- tion. The elimination contests which Lave been held in all of the areas occipied by the A. E.

Other items on the list include 2,538 rackets, 13,656 temnis bails, inte a frenzy of athletic prepara- tions may be judged from the fact that more than 2,500 baseball teams are still fighting for supremacy, while regiments of soldier athletes have been running, broad-jumping, puttizg the shot and going through all the other forms of track and field sports in official contests for the henor of representing the A.EF. In the allied camps the scenes have been repeated. The Anzacs and the Belgians, the Serbs and Ru- manians, Chinese and Canadians, Szecho-Slovaks and French, Eng- lish and Greeks, Guatemalans and Ttalians, Poles and Portuguese and even the Arabs from Hedjaz have cluding military, individual, team and prize jumping events; rowing, with single sculls, four-oared and eight oared crews; rifle compet® tion, team and individual; swir ming races over seven courses varying length; boxing at seve weights and a modified Marath of 16,000 meters. Surely, seldom if ever before the worl’’s history has such a cor petition bean arranged. The on thing that can be compared with i is the Olympic revivals, and it doubtful if even these brought int training anywhere nearly as man competitors as the contests soon t be begun. "
