Women are threaten ing their bridge laurels. So deep have been the feminine inroads into what once was man’s exclusive province that the Amer ican bridge league was forced this summer to have a tournament es pecially for them. Men found them selves in the minority in the tourna ment open to both sexes. Only a few were men and they were, for the most part, experts or teachers. It was the first time women have been permitted to play in a league tournament and a closed women’s tournament is an innovation also but will be continued. Demonstrat ing their skill, the women ran up high scores against some of the best men players in the country, such as Wilbur C. Whitehead, R. R. Richards, Shepard G. Barclay and Robert W. Halpin, president of the league. The mixed team championship in contract bridge was won by Hal pin. Mrs. Sidney Level, Nils Web ster and Mrs. M. K. Alexander, president of the women’s branch of the league, all of Chicago. Mrs. A. R. Bingham of Indianapolis and Mrs. J. F. Dalton of Chicago took the prize for the special match for women players. Mrs. A. R. Coffin of Indianapolis had the high score for women. The Shepard D. Barclay trophy for two mixed teams, playing as a team of four, was captured by M. M. Cohen, Mrs. Rose Fleischer, R. Frankenstein and Mrs. Alexander, all cf Chicago. The J. O. Beards ley trophy for mixed pairs went to Mrs. Jessie Valton. Warsaw, Ind., and R. E. Needham of Greenville, ?a.

CHINESE GIVEN' SOVIET DEMAND Russian Ultimatum Carries Hint of Retribution if Terms Are Refused — MOSCOW, July 15.—(/P)—The Chinese government, presumably, has today and tomorow to comply with Russian demands for settle ment within three days of the crisis presented by Chinese seizure of the Chinese eastern railway. If then the demands are not met, an ultimatum delivered to the Chi nese charge d’affaires Saturday night said, the soviet union will be compelled to resort “to other means m defense of the legal rights.” ‘ Moscow’s ultimatum was written Saturday, and on Saturday night, signed by L. M. Karakhan, vice commissar for foreign affairs, and former ambassador to China, it was placed in the hands of S. M. Liao, the Nanking government’s charge. After warning vaguely or retrib utive measures if China does not ! acquiesce in its terms, the ultima tum continued with an offer of the Olive branch, saying that notwith standing “violent and provocative actions of the Chinese authorities, Russia once more expresses its will ingness to enter negotiations with China regarding all questions con nected with the Chinese eastern railway.” Immediate Release The ultimatum then said such ne gotiations would be possible only in the event of immediate release of arrested citizens of the soviet re publics and cancellation of “all le gal orders by the Chinese authori ties." The soviet government proposed: First, to cqII a conference imme diately to regulate all questions connected with the Chinese eastern railway question. Second, that the Chinese authori ties immediately should cancel all arbitrary orders regarding the Chi nese eastern. Third, that all arrested citizens shall be released Immediately and that authorities cease all persecu tion of soviet citizens and soviet institutions. Weigh Consequences The note suggested that the Muk den government and the nationalist government at Nanking weigh the serious consequences which rejec tion of these proposals would have and declared it would wait three more days for an answer. It warned that if this answer was unsatisfac tory the soviet would be compelled to resort to other means. Meanwhile all Russia resounded with the cry of public agitation and pretest and indignation meetings at the seizure of the Chinese eastern by the Manchurian authorities and the arrest and expulsion cf Russian railway officers, employes and other citizens. Workers’ meetings passed resolu tions demanding prompt redress, ending with such statements as “we don’t want war, but if attacked we will all tax one shoulder with p rifle in defense of our proletarian father land.” TOKYO, July 15.—</P)—'The Jap anese consul at Machuli, western terminus of the Chinese Eastern Railway, today said in a telegram Japanese travelers arriving from Siberia reported movements of Red troops in trains was under way from Karimskaya Junction eastward to Chita and Manchuli.

July 15.—m — King George was operated on successful ly today for drainage of a small ab scess remaining in his right chest. Seven doctors came to Bucking ham palace for the operation, and the Prince of Wales drove over from Frok York house, presumably to be at the bedside of his father in the event of emergency. After the operation the doctors issued the following bulletin: “An operation has been performed on his majesty, the king. Portions of two ribs were removed in order to be circumscribed. The abscess is one and one-half inches across and should be quickly drained and treated. The condition if his maj esty is satisfactory. (Signed) “SIR STANLEY HEWITT, “PROFESSOR TROTTER, “SIR FRANCIS SHIPWAY. “LORD DAWSON OF PENN.” While public anxiety had not been excessive with regard to the opera tion which it was known the king would have to undergo today there naturally was a feeling of great re lief w'hen the physicians statement was issued reporting his majesty’s condition was satisfactory after the operation. Because of the Improved state of the king’s general health, he came through the operation remarkably well and it Is hoped his recovery from the effects of the operation will be rapid. Stress was laid on the fact that although the operation was of a bigger nature than would seem to be indicated in Saturday’s bulletin, it was of a very different nature from that of last December when the king's whole system was poi ; soned. ’ It was stated the king un derwent the operation for the lo cal trouble as an otherwise fit man.

Indi cations are that there will be be tween 450 and 500 Scouts in attend ance, divided into two groups, the first of which will open the camp on August 7. and the second of which will be in camp from August 20 to 30. Individual troop activities on a much larger scale than ever before are to be featured this summer. The usual training and educational activities are to be held in the mornings, when such subjects as cooking, leathercraft, archery, swim ming, life saving, forestry, animal husbandry, etc., will be the order of the program. The second and first class requirements, which serve to make a boy self reliant and inde pendent, will also be taught during this period. The afternoons are to j be taken up with whatever troop ac tivities may be decided upon by the Scoutmasters of the troops in at tendance at camp. One of the really big features of every Scout camp is “details,” on which every Scout serves at least once. These details put the boys in touch with all the requirements of sanitation, and, in fact, all the ac tivities of the administration of a small city, and are said to consti tute invaluable training. Registrations for the camp are being made through the various Scoutmasters, and it is expected that the camp will have a full reg istration by July 28, which is closing date for registrations for first period. The camp staff has been added to this year, and there will be a number of experts in the various lines of Scoutcraft and Scouting education, so that every Scout will have an opportunity to advance in rank and usefulness.
