Walston, who has been intimately associated with the Games since their first revival in Athens thirty years ago, suggests that this ill-will might be obviated by a return to the atti- tude adopted by the ancient Greeks, who ignored nationality in their ad- miration of individual prowess in the
game.
Sir Charles is a member of the Council of the Olympic Games and Chairman of the Art and Lêterature Committee.
BY SLR CHARLES WALSTON.]
Such deplorable incidents as happened during some of the Paris "contests are likely to occur-perhaps not in such aggravated forms-even in countries and among people with long traditions of the spirit of sport and fair play,
Locally as well as nationally, we know of vooiferous, and even, riotous protests against unpalatable decisions by umpires and referees in football, cricket baseball, and boxing matches, beth in this counter and in the United States,
It is easy to imagine the passionate keenness of a huge population (most of them completely ignorant of sport) watching a contest, in the white heat of expectation or hope that their nation might win.
GENERAL PERSHING RETIRES.
42 YEARS-ARMY SERVICE. A Washington telegram to the Manila papers dated September 13th says:-
General John J. Pershing ended 49 years of active army service at noon to day. The last signal honour paid him was an executive announcement by Pre sident Coolidge expressing the national indebtedness for a service which had won him leadership of the American. forces in the world war. ན ་
-The President mentioned the services of suppressing the Philippine insurrection as among the things which had won him fume-
General Pershing indicated he had made no future plans. The actual hour of retirement found the General busy in his office as General of the Army and Chief of Staff.
