This was a different note indeed from Kaiser Wilhelm II's bluster about "Berlin to Bagdad" and the "Drang nach Osten" or German "pressure toward the East." Anxious to preserve the new amenities between Germany and Britain established at Munich, yet anxious, too, to cash in on Germany's freshly won kudos, Dr. Funk opened as quietly as possible a Turkish credit with Germany of 150,000,000 marks ($60,000,000) for the purchase of "industrial...

S. women's championship in her first try, and then gave her opponent, famed Glenna Collett Vare, a few anxious moments before yielding the title, 3 & 2. Last year Patty Berg came through to the U.
