Bundy, May Sutton and Miss Mary
Brown of California former national
champions as opponents worthy of the
French girls mettle.

mon Island Group.

London, July 16.-People who are
still living in the manner of the Stone
Age are found on Rennell Island in the
Solomon group, Melanesia, according to
DR., Northcote Deck, missionary.
DR.. Deck says there are only about
500 inhabitants, and because of their
isolation, through lack of ships
anchorage, even their dialect has never
been studied.
The natives only had implements and
weapons of stone and wood when DR..
Deck first visited the, island. They
showed great eagerness to barter home
made articles for anything made of IRON
The men are great fighters and
wrestlers. Their throwing spears have
| points made of human leg and arm
bones, and tipped with bone splinter
designed to break off in the wound, -
says DIR. Deck.
They seemed to feel keenly the
] monotony of their isolation and showed
a settled melancholy, both in their faces
and the cadence of their voices. Their
only sort of music, to which they dance,
consists in the tuneless beating of q
| log.''
The teeth of flying foxes which
! swarm in the caves on the island seem
to be the only form of currency known
there.

when the towns products were selling
at high figures. the miners struck and
remained out two years, during which
time the bottom fell from the metal
markets. When the miners were ready
to return to work, the operators found
they could work the mines only at a

Owners of the mines told the men

the properties, without profit, for the

Warsaw, June 16.-Conditions in
Kiev, in the Ukraine, are reported
worse than at any time since the trou-

Word reached Warsaw recently that
the population of the city had dwindled
to something like 100000 persons,
whereas at the beginning of the war
there were approximately 100000 in
habim hts.
Travellers who have crossed the
frontier within the last few weeks, most
of them under difficult circumstances,
assert that the Bolshevik authorities
are again in complete control of the
city. At intervals during the spring
there were times when the insured
tionists held the upper hand.
In many villages in the Ukraine the
peasants are reported to have organized
and driven the Soviets out and the
peasants are reported endeavoring tc
strengthen their anti-Boshevik organ
ization to prevent interference with
their farms and villages.
Travellers say only few stores are
open in I<iev, one of these being Z
florists shop.
