PARIS THINKS CECIL'S
MISSION Is HOPELESS

PARIS. April 10. Discussing
Lord Robert Cecils visit to the
United States and his speeches with
regard to the league of nations.
Philippe MilIet, in an editorial in
the Paris M di, describes the United
States as like an incorrigible old
bachelor who, under the stress of
great emotion, was ON the point of
committing the folly of marriage
by Joining the league of nations.
But" the editorial adds, "con.
ing to its senses in time, America
found what it needed is not mar.
riage with troubled Europe but n
free and independent life on Uncle
Sans great farm
The newspaper suggests that Lord
Robert Cecil spend his time more
profitably in trying to convince E,l.
rope that she must learn to get
along without America.

Sir II. Rider Haggard Recalls
Fall Of Rome carnaryon
Feared Mosquitoes.

LONDON, April To-. There has
been an enormous spread of every
form or superstitio since the war;
declared Sir I'll. Rider Haggards
famous British writer and explorer
in an exclusive interview with In
ternatfonaI News Service today
dealing with the belief held by
some that Lord Carnaryon's strange
death was due to curse of the
ancient piaaroafs. He continued: M
when superstition springs up
and spreads among highly civilized
people then, think. unless It is
checked, it generally precedes. their
fall. In the last days of the great
ness sof Rome there was an out
break OF every form of superstition.
IE men are to be at the mercy 90
elemental or evil powers of an UNI
defined nature, their lot is indeed
Wretched one. Life would be one
long terror. In the minds Of all
.reasonable men there is stern,
straight line to be drawn between
fact and romance"
Atlvices from Cairo attributed
Lord Carnarvon's death to infec-
ton following the bite Of mos
quito upon the cheek. The Egyptolo-
gist was said to have lived in dead
ly fear of mosquitoes. A personal
friend. in a letter printed in the
Morning Post. told of several in
cidents to show Lord Carnarvon's
dread of mosquitoes. He had a
liking for particular hotel in
Paris, but refused to visit after hav-
ing been bitten there by a mos
quito.
During a trip to South America
he went duck shooting in a marsh
land infected with insects. Canar-
Won borrowed a. horse. rode to the
nearest railway, hired a special
train and rode to Buenos Aires.
There he caught the first ship for
London. saying he would not re-
main in a country where there
We're so many mosquitoes.
