CAPETOWN, June 26— The Lea
gue of Nations has not yet responded
to the great hopes of the framers,
>uid Jan Christian Smut today in a
speech. “Rather than rejoice over the
ailure," continued Smuts, “everyone
should bend their energies to make it
effective. Several things militated
against the I.eugue, notably the re- j
fusal of the United States to become
a member. Peyond a doubt the League
of Nations depended largely on Am-1
erica for initial strength and success.
1 hope the time has come when Amer
ica will appreciate the position of the
Supreme Council. 1 hope both sides
will soon unite. England and France
are alone trying to right the hopeless
situation. There is grave danger un
less the five world powers act in ac
cord. The Polish war has done more
than anything to make the people re
alize the impotency of the League of !
Nations.”

REMARKABLE MEMORY
POSSESSED BY OBREGO>
NOGALES, Ariz., June 26— Gen
eral Alvaro Obregon, leader in the
movement that recently overthrew the
Carranza government in Mexico, has
a remarkable memory, according to H.
Percy Meaker, an Englishman who
has resided in Sinaloa for many years
and who, during the recent war with
Germany, acted in an executive capa
city for the British government.
“One of the easiest things General
Obregon does,” said Meaker, “is to
deal out a complete deck of playing
cards to a party of seven, memorizing.
the cards each receives, then, begin
ning backward, tell each man correct
ly the cards he holds.
“He remembers whole columns oi
newspaper articles, and, many days
after reading them, can repeat an en
tire article verbatim. He remembers
accurately incidents years back. A
great deal of the book 'Eight Thous
and Kilometers of Campaigning', is
written from his marvelous memory.'*
