Efflet of the Report,
A political correspondent of the Associated Press of Simla recently reported that conferences at Bombay and Simla bring out certain points regarding the round table conference and a general election in India. The two are interdependent as September is likely to be fixed for the general. election to Councils and to the Assembly and as the Imperial Con- ference meets in September, any idea of ante-dating the Round Table, Conference must be definite- ly ruled out as imprácticable.
Batting Score.
215 AGAINST SERVICES.
Shanghai, July 7. Shanghai defeated the United Services in a two day cricket match by an innings and 169 runs. A feature of the game was W. E. Palmer's batting. Of Shanghai's tolal of 368 he scored 215 before he was run out.
This ranks as the highest individual score ever made in local pricket, beating Bar- rett's 201 not out made in 1914. Palmer batted for three and
a quarter hours, being fourth man in and ninth out.--Our Own Corres pondent.

Mr. Liu Kwang expressed the intention of the Manchurian Government to urge the immediate resignations of Marshals Feng and Yen. It is the opinion of the Manchurian leaders that China.

As regards the terms of ference of the London conference it is argued that the very thought of a conference means that both sides should go without previous commitments and discuss"matters from the widest range and that from the point of view of the pro- gressives any previous limitations regarding the terms of referatze may be a handicap rather than a
