The Story the Week Has Told

camp" and spoke of various rumors
throughout the country" Late reports
fail to make the situation clear, but
the general indication is Of compare
tive quiet. Assurance is given that
the political prisoners will be treated
gently. There seem to be elements OF
opra -uffe as well as of tragedy in
the -ouation.
A group Of IA banks-two United
States banks, flour British and the rest
Argentine joined in offering a
short-term loan of the equivalent of
ment to tide it over urgent needs. A
rather remarkable revival of economic
confidence Is in evidence.
No doubt the Argentine business is
an incident of the world economic de-
preston; though this statement of the
matter requires good deal Of qualifica-
ton. Naturally 1t causes great con-
Germ to the British, whose investment
in Argentina is so great. Speaking in
general way, it seems to mark the
swing back of power from the Radicals
to the wealthy landowners
Certainly Latin America Is in a phase
of political disquiet.

UNITED STATES.-The census shows
this country to have 81 cities of popula-
ton exceeding 100000. Massachusetts,
| leading with nine, Ohio following with
eight, New York third with seven.
Cities. with populations over a million
are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Detroit and Los Angeles.
The polo series between British and
American teams, at the Meadow Brook
Club. Westbury, L. /. (the tenth series
| for the Westchester Cup, opened on
/ September 6. The American team won
| 10 goals to in a very hard-fought
contest. Until near the end of the Sec
ond half the British had a fighting
chance. All on both sides played mag
niflcently; perhaps Pat BOARD on White
Slave, for the British, and Earl A. S.
Hopping for the Americans, showed
supreme, though Lacey and Hitchcock
fought up to their regulations as
among the greatest polo players of all
time.
The lineup was as follows:
United States team-No. /, Eric Ped
ley; No. 2, E. A. S. Hopping; No. 8,
Thomas Hitchcock, jr.; back, Winston
Guest
British team-No. /, Gerald BaIding;
No. 2, Lewis Lacey No 3, Capt. G. T.
1. Roark; back, Lieut.. Humphrey GUM
ness. There were no substitutions
throughout the eight periods of 71a
minutes each.
| On September 10 the American
team won the second game, IA goals
| to 9, and Herewith the Series a mag
nificent game, much more holly con-
tested and doubtful of issue than the
score would indicate. For the Ameri-
cans, perhaps Pedley was outstanding,
and for the British, Lacey and Roark;
no slbstitutions; same lineup as for
the first game.
| 1t should be borne in mind that the
British team had been sadly upset by
injuries and illnesses, and it may be
some consolation to Britain to reflect
that two of the American players come
Of British sires.
All, those ponies-White Slave, Sill
yer Morn, Merry Valley and the rest!
LEAGUE OF NATIONS AND PAN
EUROPE-The eleventh session Of the
| Assembly of the League of Nations
opened at Geneva on September 10,
so governments being represented, and
| the representatives including % for
eign ministers. The sixtieth session OF
the Council opened on the 9th. No
doubt the lure which drew so many
foreign ministers to the banks OF Lake
Leman was the meeting on the side to
