Most of the fatalities In Porto Rico were In the country districts, for the authorities of San Juan, forewarned, placed many hundreds of the real dents In the solidly built schools and churches. The property losses In the city, however, were heavy, especially on the ocean front. Governor Beverley was prompt In starting relief machinery. He formed n emergency committee and placed ample insulur funds In Its hands. By his order the police Impressed Into service prisoners In all the Jails, let ting them work without guards at clearing the roads and streets and reopening communication facilities. The governor of course reported the conditions Immediately to Washington and the Red Cross ordered Its chief supply oflioer to the Island and sent a destroyer with medical the league In the economic sphere is paralysed by pressure of powerful national Interests and that If a hand Is raised against the covenant sufil etenfly strong It can smite with Ini by punity." This last obvious allusion to Japanese controlled Manchuria was followed by a warning that the only way to silence criticism of the league Is to show unmistakably that the cove riant Is a solemn pact of obligations which no state will bud It possible to Ignore."

It was hastily accepted by Prime Minister MacDonald and the British cabinet, and thereupon the innhntmn broke bis fast with a few sips of a lime concoction. For more thnn six days he had partaken of nothing hut wuter with salt or soda In It, and the physicians at Yernvda Jail said he could not have survived much longer. The compromise plan provides that 148 seats In provincial legislatures be held by the depressed classes and that percentage of seats In the central legislature be reserved for them. It also provides a system of primary elections. These special features are to end after ten years. In accepting this plan, the British government pointed out that some details still remained under consideration. The olllclal statement said this did not Imply opposition by the government. Gandhi, though horn a caste Hindu, has been making bis fight for the depressed classes, und It Is possible that his victory may lead to revolutionary changes In their treatment. Ilowever, some authorities declare that the gulf between the four castes and the untouchables Is of too many generations standing to be wiped out in a day or two, even by the ukase of religious lenders. the League of Nations opened Its thirteenth annual session In Geneva. Eamon de Valera, President of the Irish Free State, was In the chair as president of the league council, and he took the opportunity to tell what he thought of the league and Its failures. He spoke without restraint, telling bis gloomy hearers that the league had ' lost the worlds con fldcnce because It had Eamon d not boldly tackled the Valera major problems that came before It, notably the situation In the Far East and the question of disarmament.

His decision came three months after his defeat In the Republican primary by Henry Field. He admittedly has a large following among the Iowa Re publicans, especially In the rural districts. The Democrats had expected that Brookhnrt would follow the example of his brother progressive Republican. Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, nnd come out flatly for Franklin D.

BOTH former JOCETT SIIOUSE, of the Democratic national committee, gave the California Democrats a shock hy the announcement that Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, of which he Is president, would support Tailant Tubbs, Republican nominee for sena tor from that state, rather than Wit Ham G.

He stated also that the association feared the cause of prohililtion repeal might he re tarded or embarrassed by the elec tion of McAdoo.

NV&ahincton, HAMPSHIRE might have been called the seat for the show produced by Nature the eclipse, of visitors which drew thousands across her borders from many states. Without the eclipse, however, New Hampshire is a uiagnet to visitors the year round. In the summer Its mountains and lakes call vacationists from remote parts of tbe country, while in winter they are tbe scene of winter sports. About two hundred and fifty years ago New Hampshire was separated The new royal from Massachusetts. province had then but four towns, which clung precariously to the and If the usual rule of computing population In proportion to voters be observed, there qualified were perhaps a thousand souls In the census. In a quarter millennium the states population has come to number about half a million people, nnd has spread from the coast to the lakes and beyond the mountains to the Canadian border. The march has been toilsome. Subduing the forest was no easy task, and it Is small wonder that so many of Us acres, once cleared by tbe stern process of cutting and burning, have been permitted to resume their forest NEW sea-hoar- cover. It Is probable that Massachusetts was glad to he rid of New Hampshire, hack there 250 years ago. They had not got on well with the royal governors who bad lived in Boston. It was the first manifestation of a relandlordism volt against absentee which New Hampshire has always more or less maintained. Mills on the Merrimack. Down in Maine they speak of the lordly Kennebec. but the Merrimack stands unmatched. Its beast is that it turns more spindles than any other stream in the world, for upon its banks stand the great industrial cities of Manchester, and Nashua : and New Hampshire 1ms always looked with pride upon its centers of tiie textile world, from which its products have rone out all over the globe. Time was when solid trains of cottons used to go from Manchester nnd Nashua north and west through Canada to the lacific roast, and thence to the Orient, to clothe the heathen But changing styles, slackChinese. ening immigration, rayon, and what not have played havoc with New Englands textiles, while the Orient has learned to make its own shirtings anil the South now not only grows, hut The miles weaves, its own cotton. of mighty mills at Manchester still run, but not with their former volume. The Merrimack, however, like Old Man River, keeps rolling along; and so do the other streams which New Hampshire originates and which have so greatly enriched New England. The Kennebec alone, of all the great rivers of this section, escapes New Hampshire paternity. The Connecticut, the the Saeo these, witlt Androscoggin, the Merrimack, make the great quartette to which the four states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut owe so much. The story of the New Hampshire grants Is an Interesting one. Many a worthy figured In it, the redoubtable Ethan Allen being the most conspicuous. With him was a leading member of the Dartmouth faculty, and among them they attempted to set np a new state. They succeeded ; but when they sought to Incorporate Into it some fifty tawns of New Hampshire, that was too much"; there was federal intervention. and both Vermont and New Hampshire withdrew within their present frontiers. Switzerland of America. Among the titles in which New Hampshire glories is that of the Switzerland of America. In summer the mountains and valleys are thronged by the thousand. The Appalachian Mountain club visits them, piecemeal and sporadically, though their trails and their cabins have a call which should be as strong in wln- ter as in summer. The Dartmouth Outing club, how-- i ever, has been by no means slow to ninke use of the winter months. This organization has its chain of cabins, also, which covers tiie territory front Mount Cardigan to Mount Washlng-- j ton, and its hikes, as described in tbe college publications, remind one of tiie heroic tales which Napoleon wrote upon the face of the Alps. Some New Hampshire cities, whose latitude gives permission, have their carnivals, too; nnd nnother fixed oh servanee of tbe winter season is tic1 dog races, because Id the eastern hills lie the kennels frem which explorers of both the Arctic and the Antarctic have taken their sledge teams. Increasing competition and economic conditions have cession in New Hampshire', dust rles, but there can b B0 tion and there Is no change coraMi- - l the state.

New Hampshire is not a dry slate At any rate, no inconsiderable portion of Its 9,341 square mllea it covered with water. Its lakes are numerable, ranging from Winnepe saukee, with its 80 square miles ol area nnd its 274 islands, down to the tiny tarn in front of tbe Crawford house where the Saco river has lu source. All of these waters, highly protected by the state, teem with fish, plenty Id and the prediction which Gov. Moody Currier made in his inaugural message a half century ago seems to have come true. The old gentleman to pleading for more generous appropriations for the fish and game department, and argued that it should be possible to make each acre of Net Hampshire water area as productive as the average acre of land. If one throws into the account the revenue in taxes and purchases made by the owners of the sportsmen's camps which have spawned so plentifully on the shores of New Hampshire hikes and streams, the governor is seen to have had hisvisioD realized. The federal government also has not been and neglectful and both the legislature and maiestablished have congress and ntain hatcheries which are modern efficient and some of them picturesque.
