LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 STILL |MPERFE FECT
President of Brazil Gives His VieW-Says It Must Have
 Democratic Basis
By Associated Press

Buenos Aires, August 20.-Epitscio Pessoa, president of Brazil, told La 'Nacions Rio de Janeiro corres- pondent recently that the League of Nations was an imperfect organiza- tion which does not yet come up to the expectations of those who trusted that It's institution would ensure International law and order but that nevertheless, 1t could be turned into useful instrument for the peace of the world for settling as far as possible conflicts between the na- tions.
 The Brazilian executive said that 1t was necessary for this latter pur- pose that the League should be es- abolished upon more democratic basis.
 President Pessoa declared that he admitted that the mechanism of the league has not offered as yet the solidarity which mechanism capa- ble of resolving conflicts between different state should necessarily possess.
 He said that the so-called small nations had not the necessary repre- sentation before the league to which they were entitled and that those policies prevailed which were sup ported by naval and military strength
 He added that the great powers gave themselves the lion's share in the council of the league, by which they had created for themselves life- long mandates Nevertheless, he declared. the league, in its actual condition. is much more efficient and has more ample powers than the Hague tribunal.

Paris, August 20.--The latest war "reminiscences to be printed are those of the 'chef" who presided over the destinies of the French general staff during the battle of the Marne and who prepared the simple, but abun- dant menu that marshal. then gem eral Joffre sat down to at very ir- regular hours.
 If the chefs culinary accomplish ments were not superior to his liter ary talent then one pities poor Gen eral Joffre and it must have been a relief to the commander in chief to leave the mess table and return to the battle line. @
 During the battle of the Marne," says the chef. "the general put away enough food to feed three ordinary men" Then he adds naively: T hope, Monster le Marechal won't mind what I say about the general"
 One of the most amusing incidents related by the chef is that on Septem- CT l2, when it became clear that the enemy was in full flight northward and that the battle was won. con gratulations were in order and he received instructions that the menu for the dinner should be as much or banquet as his raw material would permit.
 Just as the meal was about to be completed a British automobile came up to headquarters with basket or champagne as a token of congratu- lation to the French staff. It came from a British unit 'in liaison." The chef was just getting ready to serve IL when he noted that the bottles borH German mark. and he informed the officer of the fact. The worthy for bade him serve the champagne to the staff, and ordered him to throw the bottle away. We did" says the chef' but only the next morning, and they were empty"

The Coming Of Noreen.

The next day came a new element
In the situation: A ship arrived from
England. On II was one who had
come to Jamaica to act as governess
to two children OF the officer COM
manding the regular troops In the
island. She had been Ill for n week
before nearing Kingston, and when
the Regent reached the harbor she
was in a bad way. The ships doctor
was respondent over her; but he was
n second-rate man, and felt that per-
haps an island doctor might give her
some hope. When she was carried
ashore she was at once removed to
the home of the general commanding
at Spanish Town, and there local
doctor saw her. She was thin and
worn and her eyes only told of the
struggle going on between life and
death.
"what is her manner" asked the resi-
dent doctor.
'Noreen Balfe," was the reply Of the
ships doctor. "A good old Irish name,
though you can see she comes of the
lower ranks of life. leave her in
your hands. I'm ships medico, and
she's now ashore"
As they left the room together they
met Sheila and one of the daughters
of the house. '1've come TO see the
sick woman from the ship II / may"
Sheila said. 1--WE just heard about
her and I'd like TO be Of use"
The resident doctor looked AZ her
with admiration. She was the most
conspicuous figure In the island and
her beauty was fine support to her
wealth and reputation. 1t was like
her to be kind In this frank way.

telling all the true facts of the death
of Errls Boyne. II vexed Lord Mallow !;
but he steeled himself to urbanlty, and
he played his part well. He was clever
enough to see II would pay him TO be
outwardly gracious to Calhoun. So It

virile and with the air OF q thorough
outdoor man. There was In his face
the firm fighting look Of one who had
done things and could tackle big af-
fairs-and something more; there was
In IL quiet exultation.
"YOu have done the island and Eng

the governor at last.

where 1 have reaped more than have

greater patriotism and military skill
than their friend Mr.. Calhoun, who
had been harshly treated by a mis-
taken government"
A few hours later, In the sweet gar
den OF the house where Sheila and
her mother lodged, Calhoun came up
on the girl whose gentle dignity and
beauty seemed 10 glow.
AT first all she said to him was,
welcome, old friend" and AT last she
said: "Now YOU can come to the
United States, Dyck, and make new
life there"
Presently he said: Il ought to go

After he had read II, he said: "He

II will not go without you--no
will not CO." she persisted.
"Then we shall be married at once"
he declared.
And so il was, and all the island
was en- fete, and when Sheila came
to Dyck's plantation the very earth
seemed to rejoice.
And sweetly solitary the two lived
their lives, till one day, three months
later, there came to the plantation
the governor and his suite.

Mallow said: II bring you the pay
