Both these alternate explana.

in the light of the historic German
drive to the East" toward wheat

It is fairly we'll established that
Rumania's King Carol appealed to
Berlin when the Moscow ultima

vately a ~reassuring hint that a day

Such reassurances, according to
diplomatic reports, were likewise
given Lithuania's foreign minister
when Red troops earlier moved
into that and neighboring small
Baltic states.
Whatever his motives, Stains
every move has had the effect of
strengthening Russia's position
immensely against a collision with
Germany, whether it come in Sep
TENDER or another time.
In the north, the Red army has
dug in along the German border of
east Prussia. The occupation of
eastern Poland cut off Germany
from territorial contact with Ru-
mania and its oil
Now the Reds are encamped
along the vital Danube, have push
ed farther into the uneasy Bal
kans, and should a clash with the
Nazis come, they are in a position
quickly to cut off Germany's Ru-
rlanian oil supply.
There seems little to support the
suggestion advanced by Nazis that
Moscow's move was instigated by
beleaguered Britain to divert or
weaken the impending onslaught
on England.
1t must have the effect, how
ever, of reinforcing British deter
mination to beat off the invasion
in the hope that it dare not be long
sustained. 1t suggests, too, that

National defense also was the

The view that Moscow is pre-

NEW YORK, June 30|R-The
worlds largest golf tournament
the amateur public links cham

association - will return to the
home town of its founder this year
with an entry list of 1902 golfers.
This is the 10Th public links
tournament and the first ever held
at Detroit, home of James u.
Standish, Jr., first chairman
of the U. S. G.. A. public links COM
mittee and donor of the individual
championship cup. It will be play
ed July % to 27 with 1872 survivors
of the record entry list competing.
Sectional qualifying rounds are
scheduled for 80 locations. Some OF
these 36-hole tests already have
been completed. The others will
be held during the period from
July 5 to 8.
The total entry of 2,601 is 201
above the figure for last year, the
first when sectional qualifying
rounds, were required. According
to U. S. G. A. officials, "as far as
is known, no other major golf
competition in the world attracts
as large a field as this"
Five former champions, are
granted exemption from the Sec
tional qualifying rounds and they,
too, will have to play through to
become eligible for the intercity
team competition for the Warren
G. Harding trophy. They are An
drew Swedko of Pittsburgh, the
defending champion; Robert E.

Charles Ferrera, San Francisco,
1881 and 1888; David A.. Mitchell,

land, 1888.
The Denver district has the larg-
est entry list, 1872, and Chicago the
next, 265, but they were awarded
only six and seven Qualifying
places, respectively, as playing

Some observers declared that the

check any chance of fighting among
themselves owe their conflicting
claims.
Instead, attention was centered on
possible development of grave issues
between the axis powers and the
Soviets, with the Balkans pinned be-
tween the two.
These new developments yer e
taken as indicative of fears that Red
armies might not stop at the limits
of Bessarabia and northern Bucovina
in Rumania:
1,-Rumania mined the Black Sea
waters outside the important port
of Constanta and outside the Danube
delta from Sulina to guard against
naval attack.
2.-The Rumanian government
planned emergency transfer to the
Carpathian foothills to the west-to-
ward Hungary-in case of further
Red advance. This was taken to
mean that the threat of a clash with
Hungary over the Transylvanian
province of Rumania is diminished.
3.-Hungary bolstered her forces
along the Ruthenian frontier, fearful
of a Soviet push through the Uk-
raine. Reliable sources said the re-
cent advance of Hungarian troops
toward the Rumanian frontier was
prompted solely by C over So
Wet aims in Rumania.
4.-Statements in official Bulga-
rian circles that Bulgaria's mobili.
cation vas prompted by fears that
Russia might push across Rumania
toward the Dardanelles, or that
Turkey might move north in antici-
patton of such an attack.

and Whistled all about him. In the
storm, one of his spars had been
broken, and it throbbed and
throbbed, in time with the rise and
fall of the waves. Now he was sail
ing right into a black mist, and
the wind was singing a song to
him. The black mist changed slow
ly to red, and then to yellow-fin-
ally to a glare of White light. The
song ceased, and only the throb-

and he was in bed.
He opened his eyes to find him
self in the neat room of a cottage
hospital, with the sunlight falling
across his bed, and Coral sitting
beside him and gazing at him with
an expression in her eyes which
made him close his own again.
Gradually full recollection came
to him, and when he opened his
eyes again he was smiling.

provingly. so you kept one of
