Italy's Plain Hint
To Japan On Foreign Rights
Rome, To-day.
A plain hint that some circles in Italy might regard Japan's blockade of the Tientsin Concession as an infringement of European treaty rights in China and as the thin end of the wedge for their expulsion from Eastern Asia, is given by Signor Gayda, writing in "Giornale d'Italia." Signor Gayda, who usually expresses the official
Italian opinion, says:

Ladies' Recreation Club yesterday by the odd set,
At Kowloon Cricket Club, United Services Recreation Club had little difficulty with K. C. C. "B" and only dropped half a set.
L. R. C. were exceedingly unfor- tunate to lose as there is little doubt that they possessed the better- balanced team. It is evident, how- ever, that the J. J. Ferguson-Miss Greig combination was not a happy one and it is possible that had Mrs. Ferguson being playing with her husband, the result might have been reversed.
Neither H. J. Armstrong and Mrs. Shewan nor T. A. Pearce and Miss Diana Dodwell were at all impres- them sive yesterday and between only succeeded in winning two sets, while Mr. and Mrs. Story, L. R, C's No. 1 pair, disappointed their sup- defeated porters when they were twice.
