LORD ROBERT CECIL PRAISES LEAGUE WORK
Says Much Accomplished Through Open Assemblies of Body

NEW YORK, April 4.-In the first three years of it's activities, the League of Nations has accomplis d more than the entire machinery of diplomacy could accomplish in from 50 to 100 years" Lord Robert Cecil declared to meeting of women in terested in the league.
 As some of the outstanding achievements Cecil cited the humani- tartan work of the league, the stab ilization of Austria and the interna- tional court of justice. Tn response to those who claim there is no kick In the league-that is 16 measures of force Lord Robert declared, that is it's great asset"
 Moral or intellectual appeals, he said. accomplish much more in the long run than force. And, pointing out the influence of publicity as the leagues principal weapon. he re- vealed that during the committee stage of the leagues proposals for regulating the white slave traffic, one nation, which he refused to iden- tffy, objected to the regulation.
 But when the matter was brought before the league assembly," for public discussion" Lord Robert said, smiling, this nation changed its at titude and voted with the others"

LIKE SCANDINAVIANS
People From Northern Countries Said
 To Make Good Citizens

NEW YORK, April 4-Immgrants from Scandinavian countries have reached such high standard in the last month that Ellis Island authori- ties are wondering whether federal restrictions limiting the number are wise.
 Norway, Sweden and Denmark have sent many cargoes of toilers to the United States, most of them ulti- mately destined for farms in the northwest or to city trades at which they are adept.
 The climax came Wednesday when million dollar steerage" landed from the liner Frederick III from Copenhagen. One hundred Scandi- navian farmers with their wives and children stepped ashore, and listed their total letters of credit as more than s1,O0O,000.
 All of the immigrants said they would take up agriculture in Mime sota and the Dakotas. Conditions in Europe were very bad" they assert ed. and they had read that Americans were leaving farms for the cities.
 Ellis Island officials are keeping ropeans who come to this country for training. They cite Carl Bergman sen, l5, s an example.
 Carl, though his father is one of the wealthiest men in Sweden, came here two weeks ago to study to be an engineer. To learn the English language he has accepted a job as bellboy in the Waldorf Astoria hotel In his leisure moments he reads books on astronomy, electricity, me chanics and physics.

 SECOND MARRIAGE
Queer Twist of Law Will Dis inherit Widow of Eng
 fish Publisher

LONDON. April 4.-Through queer trick of fate and a peculiar twist of the law, it has cost Vis countess Northcliffe. widow of the famous publisher, her share in her late husbands s25,ooo,0 ,0oO estate to carry cut his dying request-that she marry his best friend, Sir Robert Hudson.
 Lady NorthcIiffe Wednesday, less than eight months after the death of the distinguished Viscount North cliffe, was married to Sir Robert, who is 50 years of age, at Worcester
 Northcliffe, 1t developed after his death, left two wills. The first pro- vided that his wife inherit certain valuable properties and the proceeds from vast trust fund during her widCwhood and the second testament stipulated that the viscountess re- ceive the full bequest, whether or not she remarried.
 Northcliffes Dying Wish.
 Then Northcliffe, as he lay dying in his palatial London residence, ex- pressed the wish, according To re- liable reports, that his widow be- come the bride of Sir Robert. North cliffe, apparently, believed that his second will would be accepted by the courts.
 But when the two instruments came up fer probate, the court ruled that the first. cutting Lady North cliffe off with but a few thousand pounds in case she remarried was the legal document.
 The nuptials of Lady Northcliffe and Sir Robert culminate the most quiet kind of a courtship which was shielded from the curious who sensed an interesting story" behind North cliffe's liberal bequest to his wife during "widowhoCd" coupled with his dying request that his old friend, Sir Robert, become her second husband Marriage Plans Secret.
 Northcliffe's widow and Sir Rob ert have been most careful not to re- vive the rumor which was circular ted shortly after the death of the pub fisher last fall, that their marriage was imminent.
 A special license from the arch bishop of Canterbury allowed the ceremony to take place without the preliminary red tape and publicity.
 The bride was given away by Sir Charles Russell, a brother of the Honorable Victory Russell who rep resented the viscountess in the court proceedings coincident with the pro- bation of the will.
 Sir Robert is one of the leaders Of the national liberal party. He has been secretary of the National Lib erty federation since 1906 and is ac-
