During the first half the home team
played rings around the visitors. the

TO in Its favor. During the second
period Webster improved wonderfully
and forced Millbury to act on the de-
tenslve which she could well afford to

intense excitement as Webster cut
down the lead point by point, but the
nome team managed to work in a
Trick that netted a basket just often
enough to keep her in the van. The

ENJOYS concerning the result of the
negotiations, insisting that better
terms should have been made, and that
the conditions about foreign guards in
Peking and foreign outposts is only a
pretext under which to seize Chinese
territory. She says that the Chinese
