-NAAFt iNss Nht f.hAtiNA ENlriN nave dN- cused American crowds at golf mat. ches of lack of sportsmanship. being rowdy and boisterous. and trying to rattle foreign players Mir. Hilton writes Co the Westminster Gazette 10 correct hese deluslons. He says:
 The crowds were well conducted: {: perhaps made 8 little too much noise 10 be quite in keeping with a golf match. but it was due 10 their en- thusiasm and patriotism. for they ney. CT did anything with the slightest in. tention Of interfering with my chances of success.
 "Wben the championship matcl was over no crowd could have given . player a more enthusiastic recep- ton than the American crowd gave 10 me at Apawamis. The American if more demonstrative. and perhaps on the whole a good deal more ignO- rant cf the game, and its tradi- lions. than the average Britisher. certainly knows how to take defeat as a sportsman quite as well as the golfers on this side.
 The reports l have heard Of noisy disgraceful behavior of American spec tators was grossly unjust and unfair. As true American golfers gre quite aware. the crowd at their own meet ings does not behave itself with quite The same dignity and restraint that is 10 be found in our better class. crowds on this side But they are doing their utmost to educate the masses to the customs and traditions of the game as played on his side.'t
 Mir. Hilton strongly advocates the adoption of the American system of using megaphones 10 keep the crowd Of the course, and says the crowd at ATawaTnis was managed infinitely better than most Of them over here.
 According 10 the annual report just made by Sir George Newman. chief medical officer of the Board of Edu- cation. a very large proportion of the children attending the British ele- mentary public schools suffer from more or less serious diseases. Out Of the 6.0O0. .000 elementary school child ren of England and WalesA-l0 per cent suffer from a serious defect Of vision; 9 to , per cent from defective hearing; 6 10 s per cent have ade- holds, or tonsils sufficiently enlarged Jo require surgical treatmen5 40 per cent from extensive decay Of the teeth 90 to 70 per cent from unclean heads or bodies: ] per cent from tabercul- osis in readily recognizable iform l 10 per cent from heart disease. h addition to actual disease. dt consid. erable percentage Of the children are s,t's suffering in greater or less degree
 Sir George Newman deduEes the moral that a state cannot eRectnally insure itself against disease nnless it begins with the children. An inter- iesting feature or the malnutrition cases was that in many cases it was quality and cooking of the food which was at fault and not lack of sufficient foodstufs.
 After an elaborate and involved re. port by a specially appointed Roy al commission, the railway labor sit uation seems no nearer a solution than when the trouble began. The obvious disappointment of the ra,L way unionists on hearing the report of the commission has grown into ac-
 
 many Of the former strike leaders are openly advising their organiza- lions to disregard is findings.
 The companies did not receive the report with any great amount of en- thusiasm and it is well known that the partial recognition of the unions ern- bodied in the recommendations was received with iil-concealed distaste.
 The report has been followed short ly by rumors that several companies are almost ready 10 announce a raise in the wages of their employees aud this fact may cause some delay in the execution of a campaign for an. other general strike.
 Many of the meetings of the rail way men held to discuss the commis sions' report took place the Sunday after it was made public and many oil these recommended by resolution that it be rejected either wholly or ta parts. The railway men at Chester passed a resolution repudiating the report in it's entirety, on the ground that it did not grant complete re c0gnition to the unions. The same meeting also advocated a general rail way strike to take place within twen- ty-four hours of the delivery of an ulti- matum. Al Leeds the men recon mended that the findings be reject ed and that a national conference be held for the consideration of a pro gram for all railways.
 At Glasglow dissatisfaction was ex pressed with the report and a genera strike was advocated. It is quite evi dent that among organized railway employees the findings of the commis- sion are anything but satisfactory: for the report does not give them what they wanted and the opposition te it is already growing formidable.
 It is freely admitted that the new scheme for the settlement Of disputes leaves much to be desired. but t is 1 distinct advance on that of 1907 and the pubie, which had a taste Of what a general strike means. is hoping that the railways and their men will accept its terms until something better can be arranged. It is pointed out that ii is only destined to serve for a period of tsso years, at the end of which time 1t will be subject to revision or utter rejection.
 A particularly alarming feature oi
