 The Putnam firm has always main tained d branch office in London, and until lately it was Major Putnam's g custom to spend a month or more at the desk in his English branch and to renew his acquaintance with British authors and political leaders. These visits, with the exception of one year, he continued even during the World War, when he several times braved the danger of running the submarine blockade. Both in England and Amer ica, as a ready and agreeable speaker, he was in demand for addresses on many subjects and many occasions, and such was his vigor in speaking that in his eightieth year he made five public addresses in two days on the occasion of Lincoln's birthday. includ- ing a radio talk, in response to which he received a great number of appre- eiative letters.
 Spoke for U. s. Ambassador
 Major Putnam had a wide circle of aequaintances in England, among them many members of the Reform Club, and he was honored as a pub licist in the land of his birth upon numerous occasions On July 1, 1918, when the English signalized their rec ognition of the fact that the American saved their liberties as we'll as those of the colonies, by eele- brating Independence Day in West Hall, Major Putnam, in the absence of the American Ambassador, was selected to make the principal ad- dress before a distinguished assembly.
 Major Putnam was for many years a prominent member of the Loyal Le- zion of Civil War Veterans, and he was among the most active American organizers of the English-Speaking Union, whose luncheon meetings and other activities he regularly attended up to within few weeks of his death. He was an honorary member of the Golden Club in London and president of the Free Trade League in the United States. He also followed the lead of his father in the interests of copyright laws, and had served as executive secretary of the American Publishers Copyright Lea

A MOTHER point Of interest to American
readers is q provision Of the Ecuadorean
constitution forbidding foreigners to hold posi-
lions of political or administrative authority in
Ecuador. Heretofore there had never existed
any legal bars against the appointment Of for
eign experts or officials for the management Of
national finances, but the new constitution
sets forth clearly their ineligibility for public
office. In order to employ foreign technical
commission 1t is now necessary to obtain the
consent Of Congress, and even then no authority
may be vested in such commission in order not
to break the spirit of the law. Before the
adoption Of the constitution of 1929, and as
result of the recommendations made by the
commission Of financial experts under Prof.
Edwin Kemmerer Of Princeton, there were
various American experts employed in the GUS
tom houses, the controllers Office and in other
administrative bureaus.
Another article of the new constitution, In
this same chapter, provides that every con-
tract which . foreigner or a foreign company
may make with the government, with national

constitution Of Ecuador is the political position
granted to woman. Although in previous con-
situations political and civil rights had been
given. to Ecuadorean women, in practice there
had never been until recently any case of a
member of the weaker sex figuring among
either candidates or electors, so that it was
fact quite unknown that political equality be-
tween men and women existed in Ecuador.
Now, however, these principles have been
further confirmed in the new constitution and
there are more definite regulations in regard 70
the liberty-not only political, but legal-of the
women Of Ecuador and great numbers Of them
have already participated in this years pro-
vincial elections. On the juridicial side
Ecuador has established divorce by common
accord, which greatly favors the woman. in
few countries Of the world do we find laws so
advanced in this respect as in Ecuador, where
provision is made for divorce upon mere petit
ton of the two parties, without formal proceed
ings of any kind provided the consent of both
is declared before the courts Of flrst second and
third instance. .'''..

how it is able to dive hundreds

pends in a long stay under water.
