Avenol was too negative, too much
at the order of London and Paris.
They said the League and its ideals
might have been spared many a
shock with man of energy and
initiative at its head.
M. Avenol took the kicks as they
came and went quietly about his
job, which he regarded as that of
an international civil servant.
When it became apparent the
League had little future as polit-
ical institution, at least until the war
was fought, he directed most of its
energies into political channels.
Fully 80 per cent of the League
budget, which totaled about SO, 3,700,-
900 in 1889, but only S2,450,OO0 this
year, went into international anti
narcotic, health, nutrition, housing,
financial and economic activity.
No Intimates at League.
NJ Avenol seldom spoke publicly
and had few intimates, none in the
League secretariat.
Born at La Motto st. Heray, in
Brittany, on June 9, 1879, he started
his career in 1905 in the French
treasury. He became inspector
general and was Frances financial
representative in London during
the World War. From 192O-1923 he
was the French member of the
League Financial Committee con-
cerned with the financial recon-
struction of Austria and in 1923 was
appointed deputy secretary general
under Sir Eric Drummond. From
then until he succeeded Sir Eric
on the Briton's retirement on Octo-
Der Is, 1882, NJ. Avenol headed a
number of League missions to Gen.
tral and Eastern Europe, China and
Canada.
In January of this year he told
the Associated Press:
The world cannot go on indefi-
nitely in conflict. A settlement
must come sooner or later. When
it does come it will be found there
are certain perennial truths about
the League of Nations which man.
kind cannot and will not forget.
The principles of community oi
interests and cooperation alone
offer the possibility of overcoming
difficulties which will face human
society when the war is ended"

Avery, tenant farmer. was bare
headed and barefooted. He was not
armed. Several shotgun pellets had
hit him while he was barricaded in
his home, but these injuries were
minor.
Magistrate Elmo Randle said
Sheriff Mclean was slain yesterday
by a gunshot fired from behind a
porch vine by Avery. recently re-
leased from an insane asylum.
The 61-year-old Sheriff. father of
five children, had gone to Avery's
two-room cabin to arrest the man
for another shooting.
Avery even barricaded himself in his
shack with his wife and five small
children. When deputy sheriffs fired
at an opening from which a gun
protruded, the farmer yelled, ran
through back door and escaped.

Britain Will Ration
Commerce Of NeutraIs
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 26.-Great Britain
has decided to reinforce her eco
nomic blockade of all German
dominated Europe by rationing the
trade of neutral countries ''to the
bare minimum necessary to tkeir
existence" it was reliably reported
today.
The British plan, it was said,
would make virtually impossible"
re-export of goods to German-oc-
cupied territory through neutral
channels.
The details will be announced
early next week and will be i'm
plemented "very soon," it was said.
The navicert system, hitherto
confined to shipments from the
United States and certain other
American countries to pre-certified
European destinations, will be ex-

Joseph Davies Home
Prince Felix and Children
Are Luncheon Guests
At White House

Prince Felix of Luxembourg and
his six children were resting today
at the Long Island home Of Joseph
E. Davies, former Ambassador to
the little duchy, after their arrival
in Annapolis and visit to Washing
ton and the White House yesterday.
The royal group, who fled Luxem-
bourg only three hours before the
Nazi invasion commenced, were
brought to Annapolis from Lisbon
by the United States destroyer
Trenton. The Grand Duchess
Charlotte. ruler of the duchy and
wife of Prince Concort Felix, re-
manned in Lisbon for an indefinite
stay.
At the White House members of
the royal party were luncheon
guests of President Roosevelt. Aft
erward they left by train for New
York. with little baggage, but with
plenty of chocolate bars in the
pockets of the children.
They are living from day to day."
explained William Hamilton, COM
missioner general OF the LuXem-
bourg Pavilion at the New York
Worlds Fair, who travelled with the
! family from Washington. Friends
expressed belief that scant resources
are left them.
The prince indicated that his chill
dren will continue their education
here. They are Elizabeth, 18;
Marie Adelaide, 16; Marie Ga
brielle, Is; Alix, IL; Juan, 10, and
! Charles, 13.
The United States has consistent
ly refused to recognize the conquest
of nations by force, and the royal
! family was accorded full official
honors, including a 21-gun salute
at Annapolis.
The prince came to this country
last summer to dedicate the LuXem-
bourg pavilion at the fair.

Refugees

obtain safe passage to this country
The first step, he told press con-
ference. involves providing perhaps
10000 children in Britain with pass
ports.
The next step. he said, would be
to find out what the British gov
ernment would be able to do about
sending the children to the United
States, or perhaps Canada, in
British vessels.
A little later on, the President
continued, the stage might be
reached when the United States
would ask for reasonable assurance
that if American vessels went over
to evacuate them, there would be
no torpedoings.
There are three sides to the prob
lem, the President said, on being
asked for comment on the pending
legislation to permit the use OF
American vessels in war zones to
bring out children.
First, he said, there is the attitude
of the British government, then our
own deep desire to do everything we
can, and finally there is the safety
of the children to consider. The
latter, he said, is the crux of the
matter.
1t would be one thing, he said, if
the United States were reasonably
certain of getting American-flag
ships to England without torpedoing
or bombing. But. he went on. with
out reasonable assurance of safe
passage, it would be a pretty big
responsibility to take ships over, load
them with children and have them
torpedoed.
Mr.. Roosevelt called attention to
reports of the sinking of a French
vessel taking Frenchmen home from
England. The British, he said
claimed that the ship had been
guaranteed safe passage, while the
Germans, he added, said they hac
guaranteed no such thing.

in Congress plan to do something
at the present time to give the
people of Washington the privilege
of voting. l hope Congress will go
as far as is possible to comply with
the plank in the Democratic plat
form to extend the right of suffrage
to the voteless people here.
The Summers resolution is the
best solution of the national repre-

to believe the plan it proposes to
provide national representation for
the District is the one that should
be adopted. OF course, our organ
ization is working for local suffrage

mittee Tuesday. He said he Woulc

to be any necessity for it.
Would Shift to Resolution.
He also said the Summers resolu-
ulon embodied the national repre-
sentation plan the people OF the
District appear to want and that he
would be willing to shift his support
to that one instead of the resolution
he has long sponsored for national
representation.
I'VE want to stand together or

Summers resolution seems to be
sound
AS Senator Capper made his state

ing for an elective general assembly

national representation and has
favored the Summers resolution
In the midst of vacation at
Rehoboth Beach, Del, Harry N
Stull, president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, wired The
Star:
The renewed interest by Congress
in suffrage for the District is most
gratifying. The Federation has long
been an advocate of complete suf-
frage and will join other organiza-
tions in any effort to bring prompt
adoption of the Summers resolution.
This should be followed by some
form of local suffrage.
The Star is subject to congratu-
lations for its long and continued
advocacy of civic rights for the resi-
dents of the District. At this dis
tance I can only root for success
of our long fight. Contact Harry
Wender for any action of the FEEDER
alton until August l."
Mr.. Wender, who is acting presi-
dent of the Federation during Mr..
Stull's absence, not only shared
mis- views. but added: This new
move for suffrage is rolling down
the hill like a SNOWFALL. Everybody
is jumping on the band wagon. 1t
seems to be the fashionable thing
to do. The men in Congress who
have been lukewarm on the subject
IN the past are now jumping off the
fence since the leaders have made
known their views I believe We are
going to get somewhere before Con-
gress adjourns."
Sees BEST Solution"
Mr.. Wender, in addition, said the
Summers resolution is the best So
luton" of the national representa-
tion problem.
Paul E. Lesh, vice chairman OF
the Citizens Joint Committee on
National Representation-the organ
ization that has campaigned for
many years to "Americanize the
Washingtonian''- in view
of developments in the last week,
that the goal is near. He said:
Recent developments in the long
campaign to give the people of
Washington the privilege of voting
are wonderful. I have high hopes
that action will be taken at the
present session of Congress on the
Summers national representation
resolution. That resolution con-
tains the best plan ever proposed for
solving the suffrage situation.
MY hopes are founded not alone
on the efforts of Representative
Summers to have his Judiciary Com
mittee approve his own resolution,
but also on the series of inte views
I have had in the last year with
members of the House.
THE fact that the recent conven-
tions of the two major political
parties at which delegates from the
District attended and voted for can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent, makes it particularly appro-
pirate time to bring to the attention
of Congress and the country that
we who live in Washington do not
have voting representation in the
national Government"
Finch Hopes for Action.
Wilbur S. Finch, president of the
District Suffrage Association, made
this comment:
