Amazing Golf.
The most extraordinary feature was the fact that the cleven holes from the seventh were all halved, and in amazing figures. The short twelfth, for instance, was halved in two, while the last four boles were done in perfect fours.

WONDERFUL TRIUMPH FOR
MISS WETHERED.
Brilliant Performance After Bad Start.
Miss Joyce Wethered, former holder of the British Ladies' Cham. pienship, recaptured the title to- day amidst wild enthusiasm by the huge British, crowd, after one of the most memorable finals in the history of the contest. Her 'oppon- ent was Mins Glenna Collett, the American champion, who had car- ried all before her in the earlier rounds of the competition, and who seemed at one stage to-day likely to win by a wide margin.
Miss Wethered has also shown a return to the splendid form which gained her first place among Bri- tish lady golfers a year or two ago, ut she has never given a more brilliant fighting exhibition than that which enabled her to win the championship at St. Andrew's on this occasion.
The City Henith Commissioner has expressed the opinion that as many as eighty deaths may be added to the present total of 125, unless every possible precaution is taken by the persons in the vicinity of the hospital at the time of the disaster.

Mr. Baldwin, in his reply, says that the auggestion that Britain should make definite proposals to all countries for a large measure of disarmament has already been carried out as regards navies,
Matter for Powers, '
In the case of the land forces, the British Government believes better progress will be made if the initiative is taken by the Powers, and it has expressed its willing- peas to accept a scheme of reduc tion agreed upon by them.
Referring to the reduction of national forces, Mr. Baldwin ex-' presses the view that the 'British comparison with record stands that of any foreign Power.

Mr. Baldwin claims that in the reduction of armaments, Britain has set an example to the world.
Labour & Liberal Views. '
Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, reply. ing to the manifesto, expresses the view that the Pact of Paris ought to have been utilised as a reason for a satisfactory disarma- ment agreement. He believes that complete agreement on navai mat ters is now possible between Britain and the United States.
