Says the Pathfinder for November
18th.
IF a man wishes to take drink over
the bar at a place under the jurisdiction
of the United States he can do so by go
ing to the Virgin Islands, the one legally
wet spot The treaty OF. sale made with
Denmark for these islands specified that
the laws they had should remain in effect
until congress enacted&Speciai legislation
for them"
What degree of accuracy is contained
in the above is difficult to determine, the
importation of certain .%spirituous liquors
being sanctioned at one moment and pro-
hibited the next. The Colonial Council
passes a prohibition bill at one sitting
and repeats it the next. so that under
these circumstances mere human judg-
ment is evidently too feeble to confirm or
refute the Pathfinder view of the mat
ter. Wet enough we are; there's lit
little doubt about that; but as to being
legally wet we don't know, except that
means the right to manufacture rum,
which is understood to survive. Yet
author tiles apply the 18th Amendment
aid the Volstead Act to these islands.

Geneva, Nov. 7th.-Speaking on the
report made to the Assembly, Lord Rob
ert Cecil, delegate for South Africa, re-
marked: while it has Keen saia in some
countries that the League of Nations
is dead, the Councils results show it
to be very much alive" Referring TO
criticisms of the League that it was
spending all its time getting ready to do
something, Lord Robert said that a ma.
chine to work we'll must be set up we'll.
Considered the reports, they showed
great progress had been made. The cost
of the League to date had been $500,
900, the delegate said: This sounds like
g large sum to some minds, ne con-
tinued, but compare the amount with
a single day of the cost of the war and
you have a Iidiculously cheap insurance
rate. Lord Robert made a fervent APP
peal to the Assembly for some sort OF
action to save the Armenians. Do not
let US separate after this first assembly
of the league. he urged, without hav-
ing taken some practical step to secure
some kind of action. He found dis
quoting situations in the conditions
between Poland and Lithuania as re-
ported by the League Council, and
strongly regretted that one OF the par
ties submitting the case to the coun-
Gil had proceeded to a hostile act.
Ii such things.are tolerated, he declared,
article Is of the covenant is a dead let
ter. He asked that the Council publish
all reports and facts bearing on the 81.
uation, in order to arouse public opinion
throughout the world against such &C,
ton. Public opinion well informed is
the best we have in such cases..

Minister, has sent to Earl Curzon a
