 The greens have been very fast. and with undulations and side hills to negotiate. putting has been the hardest part of scoring, The fast tairWays have allowed long drives. many having cleared more than 300 yards from the tee. A sprinkle of rain fell late yesterday, but 1t was the falling of night that bothered the late contestants, some of them having difficulty in seeing the ball before the last hole was reached.

London, Aug, 21 R,-The paraly- sis of trade In Hong Kong, with daily losses estimated at several hundred thousands of pounds ster- ling due to the Chinese coastal reg ulatlons discriminating against British and Japanese shipping, con- tinues to agitate the press and en- gross the attention of the foreign office.
 Austen Chamberlain. the British foreign secretary. has interrupted his vacation in the country and re- turned to London to deal with the situation. and the legal department of the foreign office is busy exam ming into 1t as 1t affects treaty rights and International law. The Times editorially describes conditions in Hong Kong as "only too distressing" and says that the etfrontery of the red government in Canton is hardly to be borne" but 1t contends that for that very rea- son great circumspectlon is neces- sary and that "this typicaly bol- shevist challenge must be countored warily."
 Nothing can be learned concern ing diplomatic exchanges between Great Britain and other countries, but 1t Is assumed that consultations are in progress between London, Washington and Tokio and that no countering measure against the Can ton government will be taken with out agreement.
 The possible attitude of the United States toward the employment of force Is discussed by the Daily Tele- graphs diplomatic writer. He as- sumes that Washington would not likely raise substantial obiectionssto any naval measures Great Britain and Japan might be constrained to take. He bases his belief partly upon the struggle for mastery be- tween General II and General Chj at Shanghai a few months go, when | the defending commander sought to restrict the freedom of foreign ves- scls in the estuary and an American naval commander declared he would not hesitate to frustrate forcibly, if necessary, any attempt to restrict the free navigation of American ships
 The writer supposes, In the light Of this and other weightier facts that the United States would ap- prove q similar line of conduct by the British and Japanese in Canton csc waters should the necessity arise.
