would be competed for by
several of the big interna-
tional powers.
When he offered the cup
in 1900, he had no idea that
it would be the means of de-
veloping the sport in every
civilized nation of the world
and would develop tennis into
the only established interna-
tional sport played under
standard rules in every cor
ner of the globe.
For several years competition was
confined to the Engiish.speakinE
races. but interest was so developed
by the cup competition that II
nations challenged this year for the
honor Of playing the team Of star
Americans.
over the stretch Of % years since
the cup was first played for, the
United States has won 1t six times,
Australia six times and the British
Isles five times. None but English.
speaking nations have ever been
successful in winning the cup, but
the japanese and the Belgians have
reached the challenge round and the
French and italian teams have de-
yeloped into strong contenders.

Since then, Australia, which has
maintained its prestige as the sec.

JUSTICE IN FAR NORTH
Judge Llcien Dubuc Heads Judicial
Party Into Herschel Island to Try
II Eskimos on Murder Charges.

Edmonton, Alta, July 6.-Headed
by Judge Lucien Dubuc, judicial
party has left Edmonton for Her
sche Island, in the Arctic, where II
Eskimos will be tried on charges of
murder This is the first occasion on
which the Eskimos have been tried
for murder in their own country; all
previous trials have been carried on
outside" 1t is said.
Those to be held at HerSchel Island
represent tribes from all over the
western Arctic. Their capture and
subsequent handing over to the police
at Herschel by the Royal Canadian
mounted police was commended.
A number of the Eskimos were
brought in by dog teams for 1000
miles or more along the bleak shores
of the Arctic. One constable charged
with the delivery of a prisoner had
no companion but the prisoner him
self. Every night one helped the
other to build snow igloos and make
camp. Despite almost insurmountable
obstacles, the "mountie" won through
and delivered his prisoner.

DISAPPOINT TRIO
Youngsters Try to Hop Freight"
to Burlington Fresh Air Farm

Il was Thursday afternoon. The big
truck drove up to the city hall and
stopped before group of happy,
bright faced youngsters. They had
been washed, and dressed in their very
best clothing. Each child carried a
bag or bundle much resembling the
old time carpet bag. A few had suit
cases. They were going away from
here. That much was plain to the
passerby.
1t was not picnic because the only
parents in the group were there to
say Goodbye. be a good boy The
children were not healthy group,
yet they were not sick. They were
undernourished, weak, bordering DAN

were going out to where they would

Three youngsters who had been In

DENY BL0ODLESS DUEL
Pilsudsli Resigns AS Chief of Polish
War Council, But No Fight Took
Place.

BY The Associated Pres1.
Warsaw, July 6.-Rumors of a
bloodless duel between Marshal
Joseph Pilsudski and Minister of War
Szeptici circulated here yesterday but
were denied today.
President Wojciechowski is known
to have taken hand in the differ
ences between the two men after Sec
onds had been appointed, but the
result of his intervention was not an
nounced. However the president &C
cepted Marshal Pilsudski's resigna-
ton as chief of the war council.
According, to reliable sources the
trouble started at the last session OF
the council during a discussion of the
minister's proposal for reorganiza-
ton of the military system. Under
this plan the power of the minister
of war would be greatly increased and
the authority of the .commander-in-
chief a position which Marshal Pill
sudski had hoped to hold for life,
would be curtailed.
The marshal is said to have insult
ed Minister Szeptici accusing him of
corruption, and to have criticized the
present government bitterly. The
general impression is that he was try
ing to force Szeptici's resignation.
