THE BERLIN OLYMPIC GAMES OF 1916.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."]

Sin.—Will you allow me through your columns to make a suggestion about the money collected for the purposes of training English competitors in the above games P We are now within twenty-one months of the time fixed for these contests, and are scarcely likely to hear much more of them. I suggest that, with the assent of the donors, these funds should be handed over to the Red Cross Society or to some other charity connected with the war. No better use could

be made of them .—I am, Sir, &c., J. T. ATRAWEEI. Loughton Rectory, Bucks.
