Russia-Jap War Near
in China Crisis, Report

W. sh ling 0 n.-InformatiOn has
reached here pointing to direct Rus
sian soviet participation in an i'm
pending armed struggle for the control
of all China.
The preparations already made con-
template civil war of major proper
lions, centering in the northern
province and dwarfing in Importance
present sporadic disturbances in the
South.
The area of probable operations is
in the sphere of greatest interest to
Japan, and the aid Of the soviet is
being thrown behind the standards of
the faction least friendly to Tokyo.
Opposing Feng stands Chang Tso-
Lin, the Manchurian war lord, re-
ported to have the moral If not the
actual physical support OF the Jap
anese government.
In it's last analysis such struggle
might easily Approximate war be-
tween Japan and Russia, with the
actual campaigning carried on by
Feng and Chang and the supplies
furnished by Moscow and Tokyo.

WINS GOLF TITLE
Scot Defeats Bobby Jones,
Jr., in Sensational Game
at Worcester.

Worcester, Mass. - Willie MacFar-
lane, Scotch professional of the Oak
Ridge club, Tuckahoe, N. T., won the
national open golf tournament from
Robert T. Jones, Jr., of Atlanta. Ca,
the American amateur champion. Mac
Farlane was ! up at the finish of 80
holes played.
The victory came after the most SEN
sational playoff ever staked in open
championship play. MacFarlane and
Jones tied with medal scores of 29l
after two days Of play and started in
the morning an 1S-hole match game to
decide the winner
The extraordinary result Of the
mornings match was also tie. 1t
looked as IL MacFarlane had it won as
he reached the eighteenth green. but
he missed a four-foot putt and that
made tie, necessitating still another
1S-hole match.
Then in whitening hot weather of
the afternoon this pair of great golf
ers started on their sixth eighteen
holes. After the first three holes Jones
led most of the way, but as the after
noon wore on the steady game of the
Scotchman began to tell, until at the
eighteenth tee he had the match
squared
On the final journey to the club
house MacFarlane, by careful playing,
scored par f. Jones had chance
to tie, but a seven-foot putt hung on
the lip of the cup and the best Bobby
could do was q 5.
1t was on this green that the scores
of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
were tied 1t was there that single
stroke won, single stroke lost, and
a single stroke tied the closest cham
pionship play since golf tournaments
began 1t was that final hole which
decided this unprecedented match
which had mounted up to 10S holes.
No other open tournament has gone
beyond 90 holes.

who plays every shot as it should be
played who is always careful, always
cautious, who always uses the right
club, the right swing, the right timing.

u. S. MUST Be
READY TO FIGHT
President Tells Graduating
Class at Annapolis Only
Peace Is in Sight.

Annapolis, Md.-A stirring call for
adequate national preparedness was
sounded by President Coolidge in adj
dressing the graduating class at the
naval academy.
Although expressing the conviction
that at no time in the nations history
has the outlook for continued peace
been as bright as at the present, the
President impressed upon his audi
ence that the duty of national defense
Is as broad as that of citizenship and
must be borne by ALL
His plea, however, was not for large
military forces that might breed dis
trust, but for comparatively small
army and navy backed by the whole
country, with every citizen as a poten-
tial soldier ready to take his place
in the ranks In time of peril.
While the President was outspoken
In his demand for an adequate de-
Tense he sharply rebuked jingoists.
He declared in no uncertain terms
that he knew the occasion will sell
dom arise, and he knew that 1t did
not now exist, when those connected
with our navy are justified either di-
rectly of by Inference, in asserting
that other specified powers are arm
Ing against us, thus arousing national
suspicion and hatred.
He declared that the suggestion that
other people are harboring a hostile
intent toward us is a very serious
charge to make, and that we as ma
ton would not relish having our hon
orable motives and peaceful inten-
tons questioned.
The President explained to the
midshipmen that his ideal of naval
policy is one devoted to defense and
maintenance of international peace.
He then passed out to them the diplo-
mas by which they became commits
stoned naval officers.
