WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE
Falkland Islands. where Sir Ernest
Shackleton recently found Il haven

arctic expedition. have figured seldom
in world news since 1888, when the
British flag was firmly planted over
the land which, together with South
Georgia. constitutes the empires

The Falkland group is described in 4
bulletin issued today from the Wash
ington headquarters OF the National
Geographic Society. which says:

islands figured so prominently in the
news of the day as now
The Falklands are among Great
Rritain's colonial possessions which
cling to the very fringe Of civilian
ton. They compromise an area some
what larger than the Bahama group
and lie $50 miles east OF the main
land of South America and more than
200 miles south of Buonos Aires.
Only two OF the islands are of con.
siderable Feast Falkland. which
is about iivc-siXths as large as Porto
Rico, and West Falkland. with an
area somewhat less than that OF the
state of Delaware.
while the climate of the Falk-
land group Is comparatively mild.
the rigors of its winters in no degree
approaching the cold OF the south
west coast Of Labrador. which lies
in the corresponding parallels of lat
ttudC in the northern hemisphere,
yet the Islands are not an agreeable
place in which to live. as a pene-
tratinC. drizzlinG rain is experienced

which does not reach a million a
year. consists chiefly Of the exporta-
ton OF wool, hides. tallow and frozen
mutton. Extensive peat boys supply

During the last quarter OF tho
eighteenth century Spain laid claim
TO the islands and for time threat
oned to so 10 war with England over
their control. The territory belonged
to the British empire by right OF dis
covcry. however. for Just hundred
years after Columbus reached Amerl-
can shores, John Davis. one OF the
dauntless navigators OF the Eliza
bcthGn era. sighted this land while
on his return voyage from the Strait
OF Magellan. where his superior.
Thomas Cavendish. had met with dis
aster. This Is the Davis who is re-
putcd to have been in command Of
the Black Dog during the memorable
overthrow OF the Spanish Armada,
and who ranks with Bafiin and Hud-
son rs the great triumviratc OF early
Arctic explorers.
Nearly a century and three-uuar-
tiers after Davis's discovery the ex-
plorer De BOugRinville. raised the
standard OF France over these islands
and the latter government coded the
territory to Spain in 1867. 1t was
upon this cession that Spain based
its claim which it seemed ready tc
enforce with arms until l77l. The
reaSsertion Of British rights in 1883
marked the withdrawal OF the coloni-
al claims OF the people Of Buenos
Aires"
