Berlin, To-day.

Germany won her second field event, but the first in the men's section, when Woellke carried off the shot-putt honours with a heave of 16.20 metres, which is an Olympic record. Baerlund, (Finland) was second with a putt of 16.12 metres, thus gaining the Silver Medal The Bronze Medal went to another German, Stoeck, with a putt of 15.66 m. Cornelius Johnson, the U.S. Negro high-jump star who recently shattered the world record with a jump of 6 ft. 9 ins., won the Olympic championship yesterday, clearing the bar at 2.03 metres.

The second and third places were also secur- ed by the United States, Dave Albritton and Hal Thurber, both reaching the two metre mark.

Finland recorded a sweeping victory in the 10,000 Metres event when they secured all three places, Salminen beating Askola by a yard in 30 mins. 15 4-10 secs., while five yards separated the latter from Isohollo, who came third.

Berlin, To-day.

Five military planes, apparently French, were seen flying over Perpignam last evening, heading for the Spanish frontier, according to a message from Perpignam, to a German news

agency.

Gibraltar: The warship which put in at Algeciras yesterday is a German destroyer and not a cruiser and has now proceeded in an easter- lly direction.

A message from Berlin is to the effect that the German warships which were reported to be passing Gibraltar were presumably the cruiser and three destroyers sent from Germany on July 27 to protect Germans in Spain -

An earlier message from Gibraltar stated that a cruiser fly- ing the German ensign arrived at Algeciras yesterday.

The name of the vessel is not yet known. ̈
