S., Great Britain and Canada). OSAKA, Japan, Sept. 8.—A tide of human misery flows into Osaka, seemingly without end. Bent, staggering, some endeavoring to carry loved ones who died on the way, long columns of refugees shuffle info the city. Their stories of sufferings in their four-day flight from that vast area of Japan wrecked by earthquakes, fires and tidal waves, were teles of waking nightmares, eclipsing the wildest flights of imagination. When the first arrivals reached a small park near Osaka, many plunged into the lake and caught fish by hand to appease their hun- ger. Others pursued ducks and greedily devoured them, ‘gaining strength to continue the journey Hundreds of those who started the great exodus from Yokohama when laid waste never will reach Osaka Their corpses Ke along the road Many committed suicide to escape | the tortures of fatigue and thirst They fled from death, then wel- comed it.

If decisive the league's power is not taken, future will be irretrievably com- promised The council of the league has de- elded to continue ‘marking time” until Monday. Its difficulties arose as follows Following the assassination of Itallan commissioners at Janina, Mussolini sent an ultimatum to Greece, demanding apologies and reparations and followed this up by ordering the Italian occupation of Corfu. Greece appealed to the League of ‘ations council against the Italian ons, while admitting responst- the assassinations, since they occurred on Greek soll. Italy declared the league council incompetent to adjudicate in the matter and threatened to withdraw from the league if any steps to in terfere were taken. The council, faced with this dilemma, made suggestions for me- lation to the council of ambassadors in Parts. The ambassadors sent a note to Greece which was virtually the same as Mussolini's demands but which enabled Greece to pretend to be-giving in to the allies instead of to Italy alone; by the terms of the note the allies are to participate in the ceremonies of apology, while Italy gets the reparations, to cover which Greece must deposit 60,000, 000 lire 2 Out of a seemingly hopeless tangle has come a solution fairly satisfac- tory to all sides.

Edison and Henry Ford are, of course, well known and are, to a certain degree, of interest but not as much as several Buropeans. The concensus of Brazilian editors ag to the ten most interesting men places Pope Pius XI. at the head of the Ist. Brazil ts largely Catholic. The others agreed upon by the Brazil'an editors, besides Pope Pius XI., Wilson and Chaplin are: Almeida, persident of Portural: Musso'ini; Clemenceau; Lioyd George: Zaballos, ex-foreign minister of Ar gentina; Lenine; King Albert of the Belgians. President Alme'da of Portugal ts a most interesting figure to Brazil on| account of the large Portugese popu-| ‘ation here. On his recent visit to his country he was given an unpre- edented popular ovation. King Albert, after becoming very vopular in the war, visited Brazil ind since then can be regarded as not only one of the most interesting men from a news standpoint, but also as One of the best beloved men {| of the world as far as the Brazilian: 8 concerned. Zabal'os, formerly foreign minister of Argentine, was at one time re- garded as Brazil's most dangerous enemy, and consequently anything Zaballos does or says stirs up wide- spread interest in this country. The editors agree that the five most interesting women are Norma Talmadge, Queen E’izabet of the Bel- glans, Pola Negri, Queen Helena-of Italy and Grancisci Bertini, the Italian Tragedian and the first favorite of the Brazilian movie fans. Of the five women, Norma Tal- madge is by far the most popular.
