What Is Actionable Negligence?
FOUNDED IN 1925. The club was originally founded in 1925 as a golf club of the Club de 'Lusitano and one of the plon- eers of the golf club' was Mr. A. W. da Roza. The present President of the club, Mr. E. D.. da Roza, is the brother of this founder. The club has progressed along all lines since its inception and stands to- day as an ideal for a week-end of golf.

GERMANY LEADS ESTIMATE
French statisticians estimate that 6.000,000 men, a third of them Gerthans, will be ready for war when. Germany's new two-year term of military service becomes
ective in October
The statisticians reckoned that men under arms in Europe's lead- ing military nations soon' will reach 5 369,000. They estimated that Germany. In addition to regular nghting units, would have 400.000 Nazi militiamen and 275,000 men in labour camps, the latter also or- ganized along military lines.
Estimates of army and civilian statisticians gave the following fig- ures on regular fighting units, based upon Germany's doubled term of a military conscription:
Germany, 1,365,000 men: Italy. 1,250,000; Rusia. 1,200,000:
Poland, 266,000; Great Britain, 213,000: Rumania, 141.000; Czechoslovakia. 109,000: Yugoslavia, 207,000 and Belgium, 83.500.
"
France was reported to be pian- ring to strenghen her military de fenses, convinced that Germany is headed towards another war. French opinion asserted that Ger- many's chanceller, Adolf Hitler, in Issuing decrees increasing the military training period from one year to two years. had moved to ward armed conflict.
