LAUGH AT STORY OF GOLF AS STRENUOUS Rnyway, Links Are Good Place as Any on Which to Die Chicago, Sept. 26.—Members of the Illinois senior golf association which is planning to hold a championship * tournament next Friday at the Oak Park Country club, all members being more than 60 years old, smiled when they read a London dispatch saying that certain English doctors had set 60 years as the dangerous temporal line past which a golfer played at his perfl, becsuse 'a dozen Britons had dropped dead on golf courses this year. Alexander H. Revell, president of the association not only went to Eur- ope and won the German champion- ship after he was 50, but he plays al- most dally and shoots a game that ‘would make many youngsters envious. Charles F. Thompson, formerly president of the western golf associa- tion and ewecutive of the Flossmore olub, where the national amateur champfonship was held last week, proudly proclaimed that although he ‘was considerably past 50, he found his age dangerous only to his opponents. And soores of golfers who have passed the 60 year limit set by some British physicians merely laughed at the aseertion and burnished their clubs for the coming champlonship. They recalled that the United States venior golf championship tournament had contenders in the 80's and none of them dropped dead while playing ‘what they termed the only game that & venerable man could play with safety, a8 other sports were too vio- lent for aged men, “Anyway” concluded one hoary halred golfer, “I can't think of any pleasanter place to drop dead than on & golf links.” PROTESTS TO JAPAN Moscow, Sept. 26.—Foreign Minister Tehitcherin in a note to Japan pro- tests against the expulsion of the Russian rellef ship Lenine from Yoko- hama harbor. The note adds that Russian subscriptions for the relief of Japanese earthquake sufferers still continue to be received. e, MAY INCREASE ARMY By The Associated Press, Sofia, Sept. 26.—The allied govern- ments, through the commission of military control created by the Neull- Iy treaty, have authorized the Bulgar. fan government to increase the mili- tary forces of the country to such strength as is deemed necessary to cepe with the situation in the interior. L= —————————————— 1 in Germany Is Not Likely By The Assecisted Press, Moscow, Bept. 26.~—~Berlin dispatoh- ©8 indicating the further readiness of the, German government Lo eapitulate have strengthened the realization here that not since the soviets decided to sign the peace of Brest-Litovsk has the cause of the proletarian revolu- tion faced such a difficult problem. Rusla Hesitates, | Told by the Gemman eommunists who are here to plead thelr cause personally, that the iron s hot in Lerlin and that it may be struck quickly bpefore a fasolst settlement snatches it from the forge and plunge It Into the cold bath of re- action from which it may not emerge for years, Russia hesitates to let the Lammer strike, ‘'he hammer is busy at home forg- ing the internal reconstruction of the country, Furthermore the hands that wield it are uncertaln whether the German iron is strong enough to stand the blow or whether the capi- talistic blacksmiths in Poland, France and olsewhere would not aseize the fron, ferge and sword with which they would attack Russia. The ham- mer is still poised in mid-air, Reactionary Settlement, No official information whatsoever is avallable as to thal conferences among the Russian and German com- munists in Moscow during the past few days. However, it may be de- ducted from the printed speeches and guarded editorials that the situation is this: The German communists foresce a reactionary settlement of the Ruhr problems, bringing the possibility of temporary tranquillity in Germany and hence lessening the chance of an im- niediate proletarian revolution which they are confident would otherwise come in a féw weeks. Both the Germans and the Russians know' of the Italian, Bulgarian and Spanish fascist successes. A fascist Germany would be not only a menace to Ger- man communist hopes but also to Russian; hence the Germans want to accept the immediate opportunity believing it would be possible to suc- ceed although realizing that probably Poland, France and other natlons would attack from the outside. All Are Undecided, The Germans here assert that the Berlin and Bavarian fascisti would not mind letting the communists over- throw the ‘present German = govern- ment and then dealing with the com- munists later. The latter too, are un- decided whether to strike first or to take advantage of any fascist move- raent. However the Germans act, the Rus- sians realize the almost impossibility of Rusdia’s neutrality, especially in the event of the interference by Po- land. They also realize what a new war would mean to the slow recon- struction process in Russia which is emerging from a civil war. The army is organized, but what is behind it is an unknown quantity. Above all, the Russians hesitate to risk any decision to break that peace which is essential to the adjustment of their internal problems.
