London, December 1e.-(SpeeiaL)-- singularly faithful portrayal of that oft-misunderstood person. the typica. hnglishman, is drawn by the popular French fictionist. Fayard, in one of his recent writings entitled 'Te Major Pipe ct son Pere"
 One of it's Illuminating passages re- counts how during the war Great Brit ain, threatened with destruction. with myriad problems urging for solution. not the least of which were difficult ties of transport. brought meat killed in India in accordance with the tenets of the Hindo faith to Indian troops in France. "Faked'' meat could have been provided at fraction of the cost, but British officers declined to countenance such deception.
 The writer narrates a conversation on this subject between Frenchman and an Englishman. The Frenchman was skeptical as to the wisdom of Brit ish deference Hindo customs, while struggling for the preservation of the empire
 Well you see, it's their religion we cannot understand it, but we must re- spect it." was the Englishman's quiet retort.
 The Frenchman who said he had long been interested in India remarked that some day he intended visiting the country and there study for himself the curiosities of its life and people.
 "You'll see nothing--its too big ventured the Englishman. I've been there and l understood very little."
 You didn't stay long enough9 sug gested his companion.
 Twenty three years replied the Engllshman briefly
 Fayard's suggestion. it has been said may be applied to the Irish question which has aroused much interest in the United States For seven centuries Englishmen have been studying Ire- land and, more especially in the past t6G years, have been endeavoring by every means to satisfy and help the Irish people.
 A handful of Americans in the past year or so have concluded that they can and will accomplish what England has tried vainly to do for so long. bring an adjustment of Irish difficult ties. They have visited Ireland-are there today-to see, in the twinkling of an eye, just what is wrong and pre- scribe the remedy. As in the case of the Englishman, who, during 23 years service in India, had been unable to acquire the Indians viewpoints on life

 The Havas agency issues the follow ing official note:
 The German press of Wednesday pretends that Baron Von Lersner never intended quitting Paris and that the statement he made to M. Dutasta that he meant to leave with Herr Won Sim son was erroneous. The German press lnslnuated that this was unfounded and that the news sent out by Havas and the story of Von Lernser's second visit to M. Dutasta was an invention to cover up the Havas withdrawal.
 These allegations are contrary to the truth. Won 'Lersner's declarations at 1l~o'clock Tuesday morning cannot be denied. They were i1nmediatelv written and communicated to all the alIles' Baron Won Lersner later-as | 5;4o p. m.-informed NJ Dutast that he and Won Simson were remaining in Paris"
