The death has Occurred of M. Phillippe Berthelot, says a Paris cable. M. Berthelot was born in 1866, and educated Paris University. He became a Minister in the diplomatic service in 1899, and held many important positions. He was twice General-Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and held ambassadorial positions. He was a member of the French delegations to Washington (1921), The Hague (1929), and London (1931) conferences. In the divorce petition of Anthony Moratti v. Maida Velma Moratti, heard in the Supreme Court at New Plymouth, the evidence of W. E. T. Bell was to the effect that he had seen Mrs. Moratti several times since she left the petitioner, and that she had admitted being at Tongaporutu with the co-respondent, Thomas Stokes. A previous report of the case did not make this position clear.
