Miss Boardman Speaks.
Work of the Red Cross was dis
cussed by Miss Mabel Boardman,
who told of the many demands
which had been placed upon the
organization by the European war.
Approximately $4,000 has been
sent to American victims of the

$25 600 to American refugees strand
ed in Rumania and Hungary since
the conquests of Poland. Fifty thou
sand dollars has been spent for
drugs, blankets, tents and hospital
supplies for Polish sufferers, she
added. Germany has not found it
necessary to accept assistance from
the Red Cross, she continued, but
France has gladly accepted contri-
buttons Of hospital supplies.
Miss Boardman warned there Is
already shortage of wool in the

from Australia and New Zealand
have Of necessity been sent to Eng

DR.. Griffith
Discusses
War Causes
Twentieth Century
Club Hears Talk
By Educator

History will doubtless place the
immediate blame of the present war
In Europe upon Adolph Hitler but
other forces resulting from racial,
economic and chronological prob
lens also have contributed to its
outbreak DR.. Ernest S. Griffith, dean
Of the Graduate School of American
University, said yesterday at the
opening meeting of the Twentieth
Century Club at the Y. w. C. A.
Dr. Griffith, Rhodes scholar and
author of new book, "Impasse of
Democracy spoke on the superficial
and fundamental forces in Europe
and their effect upon the past, pres
ent and future. Contending that
the economic depression of nations
often resulted in personal frustra-
ton to human beings. he added that
when men find themselves failures,
they are apt either to adopt an at
titude of lethargy or become antag-
onistic toward established stand
ards. "Frustration far too frequently
works itself out in aggression" he
said.
Hitler Satisfies Illustrations.
DR.. Griffith added that 1t was his
belief that Hitler's failures and frus-
trations in early manhood were now
being satisfied in his ambitions for
German conquest.
When a nation finds itself eco
nomicaly trapped, as Germany did
during the early 1930s, it will turn
to any leader vino will promise a
solution of its problems, he Con-
tinued. The situation creates a
psychological demand for that par
ticular type of leader" he declared.
Many Of the superficial elements
which have contributed to the pres
ent situation have been apparent
for some time, he said with an
underlying struggle carried on be-
tween England and Russia. Neither
of these countries wanted war, he
continued, England hoping that if
war came it would be between Rus
sia and Germany. and Russia trust
ing that hostilities might be carried
on between Germany and the
western nations of Europe.
Dr. Griffith concluded with the
belief that at present Russia was
still an uncertain ally of Germany
and that it was probably her desire
to allow the war to be fought to a
state of exhaustion between the
allies and Germany, at best giving
but an exhausted victory to the
winner. Today there is no machin-
cry capable of adjusting quarrels
satisfactorily between major powers,
he said, but expressed the hope that
at some future day, as a safeguard

Kyle Defeats Duncan
For British Golf
Title, Il and |
Scotsman Takes 34th,
35th Holes; Better
Putting Decides
BY the Associated Press,

HOYLAKE, England, May 81
Alex Kyle, free swinging fastidious
Scotsman, came from behind on
the last round today to beat Soldier
Tony Duncan of Wales. 2 and /, for
the British amateur golf champion
ship.
Two down after 18 holes and
even after 33, Kyle won the 34th
and 35th to take the title back to
Scotland for the first time since
Hector Thomson won it in 1896.
Ironically, Duncan, a superb putter,
lost it on the green. At the 14th
he was only 18 feet from the cup
in 3, but then his putter failed
him and he needed three puts to
get down.
The Soldier lost his chance to
send the match to the final hole by
hitting his second out of bounds
at the 35th and ending up with
a 6, 2 over par, while Kyle played
safe with 5. Duncan actually put
himself in tough spot by hitting
balls out of bounds at the 10th
and 21st holes to lose the two
hole advantage he gained through
the first 18 holes.
Duncan was really right during
the morning round, however. After
being two down through the first
II he won four of the last six
holes. He shot SO for the home
ward nine. l under par, while Kyle
took 40 strokes.
After Kyle had tied the match at
the 2lst and went one up at the
25th as Duncan sliced his tee shot,
the Welshman got square again at
the 26th, birdie 4. But he drove
into the sand at the 9th and
headed into the last nine one down.
Duncan squared the match again at
the 18th, went one down at the
31st, where Kyle dropped an iron
shot 6 inches from the cup for a
deuce. Duncan drew even again
at the 33d, but faltered on the
next three holes.
Kyle succeeds Amerca's Charley
Yates, who was eliminated during
the early rounds.
