The citi zens of Stockholm are at grips with all manner of preparation to cope with tt cosmopolitan invasion that will set in when the Olympic games start in June An army of workmen is now busy laying out the stadium, where the champion athletes of all nations will compete. Every evening townspeople make the stadium the objective of their af- ter-business stroll, to watch order be- ing evolved out of what to the un- instructed eye is chaos The prelimi- nary muddle is slightly depressing to such spectators as have witnessed the games in other countries, and some {impatient comment on the apparent slowne of the operations is heard, but thoge who know the Swedish workpeople best never doubt that the | stadium wi!l be equal to any that has ever been erected. “Slow, but sure,” is the Northern motto. The drawing up of the program has been a stupendous task, as a host of conflicting views and divergent opin- fons have had to be reconciled, but the Swedes have a suave and pleas ant knack of obliterating antagonisms and converting jealousies and bitter- ness into harmonious feeling. Indeed, diplomacy of a high order #as been shown in dealing with the difficulties incidental to this work, now happily accomplished to the well-nigh univer- sal satisfaction of all the parties con- cerned. As is generally known, this program covers the period from June 29 to July 22 and comprises more than one hundred and forty events, the prizes being the Olympic gold, silver, and bronze medals, diplomas of merit, and several handsome challenge cups, Throughout the country athletes are getting ready for the fray, training and competitive trials being a weekly occurrence. All the final selections are now practically made. Only those who know the Swedish character in- timately and the splendid physique ining of the athletes can realize ance of the absence of boastfulness in regard to their pros- pects of success at the Olympic games. Foreign observers admit that this qu jet faith in the home champions is 1 grounded, and look for a sub- stantial share of the trophies being held here in Scandinavia. ntending visitors to Sweden this summer me rest assured that there will be amp] ‘ccommodation. Much and tr the s indignation n expressed about the rumors to the ntrary which have appeared in some sections Of the for- elgn press Stockholm is a hospitable city, and the citizens from the high- est to the lowest, have made up their minds to give the visitors a banner time ay rr Queen,” as it is called, has he es all its own, and an early Swedish summer is an ex- perience to dream of afterwards. As an illustrauon of the general de- sire to safeguard foreigners from be- ing fleeced at the hotels, the case May be cited of a British ambassador to a certai European court, who was quoted such a stiff price for a suite of ay ments in Stockholm that he declined to take them. This diplomat happened ‘o mention the matter when talking the Swedish Minister in his city, who in turn sent a report of it to headquarters As a direct result, a 11.1 ywn weneral living in the most wel fashi «© street in the Swedish capi- tal offered tht free use of his mansion to the ambassador—an amende honor- able of which all Stockolm approves. As at least 60,000 tourists are ex- pected here {or the Olympic games, the questior f catering for this large host is a b proposition, but no ap- prehens 1 be felt on this score, as the « a ly provided for ca- tering A } nearly eight thou- sand fi ners can be simul taneot vhile, at a low es time s can be served at the sire ‘ants and cafes.
