noted prisoner and that the neces

first mall Monday morning failed to
bring them, however, and Mrs.
Pope, her heart made sick by the
long deferred hope, appeared about
to collapse
The woman has had so many dis

have housed her for more than two
decades. ,

America a sort of supplement. wfeMh

There was only one note of erttf*

which feared faulty translattadn

vindictiveness. The Daily MrdW
pointed out that some newspapers
hao translated the word " penalties"

“reparation.’’ The French word
"sanctions" the editorial asserted,
"is rather a synuo.vm for guarantees,
