The Aga Kahn is the rec ognized leader of Indian Mohamme- dans, and was accorded an elaborate ovation by the Moslum comnienity upon landing in Bombay.
 The Aga Khan is. determined to serve the best interests of Islam. But I am convinced" he declares, that the majority of Englishmen, and those who form the backbone of the British Empire, desire fair and final settlement of the difficulties that have gradually grown up during. the last 30 or 40 years, and that they realize the inequity of the dead treaty of Sevres,

 In a statement published in La Na- cion Foreign Minister Gallardo says:

This government fully concurs with the Argentine thesis expounded at Geneva by the ex-foreign minister. Doctor Honorio Pueyrredon, and 1t is more- over, ready to uphold 1t, for 1t con- siders that the league, to be a reality, should include all countries and have a democratic organization with no distiEction between large and small powers.

He saw his chance and leaped for the door. The crowd of stupef1ed people opened as though by magic to let him pass. I lowered my pistol and shouted a warning at the top of my voice. There was the sound of a shot be- low, and the trampling of many feet. A gray-haired, well-dressed man with red ribbon in his buttonhole, whom I afterward discovered to be the editor of leading journal, pushed his way through.
 Monsieur" he said to me, lis there any answer to this riddle?"
 You will find it below" I an swered shortly. There has been plot to compromise the personal honor of Monsieur Lutarde here, which you have seen frustrated. The injured husband is an English crimi- nal. His wife"-I hesitated--'is his accomplice. Monsieur Lutarde has never seen either of them before in his life"

 A quarter of an hour later we sat among the most cosmopolitan crowd in the world outside the Cafe de la Paix, slipping our absinthe and watch- ing the ppssers-by.
 "A very successful evenings work" Ennison declared thoughtfully.
 ''So far as it goes," I acquiesced. After all. though. man with so many enemies can never be alto gether free from danger"
