over the kamchatka peninsula had
been made with the Russian govern
ment, and the expedition being bar
red from landing at the only siz-
able port in this part of the world.

the almost uninhabited Altutian Is

Kurile Islands.
Paramushiry, where the landing was
made. is the second largest of the
entire chain of the islands, and is
easily distinguishable by its tall
mountains. some of which are nearly
1000 feet high. and by the smoking
cone of an active volcano. Here is
a small permanent camp of the fsh-
cry guards who are the only in
habitants. when the salmon are not
running, and here, a supply base with
gasoline oil. spare parts and other
necessities and comforts for the myers
has been established by the advance
officers sent out by the air service.
Here the greater part of the haz-
ards and delays of the trip We're
over and the subsequent trip from
island to island of the kurile group
may be performed with comparative
ease and safety. Two other stops
largest of the Kurile Islands, and an
other at Kunashiri, the southermost
of the chain, north of the main chain
OF the Japanese islands.
The name Kurile comes from the
Russian and means smoky, and was
given because of the haze caused by
the volcanoes. These are always
valuable landmarks to flyers and in
the case of a forced landing or an
accident that will make a night trip
necessary will act as natural landing
flares.

Slurs u. S. Constitution Fired Central Miss to Par
ticipate in Contest-Happy to Represent
d. e.. in National Event.

Standing on the Connecticut avenue
Creek was the method used by Ruth
Newburn of Central High School
selected yesterday as grand prize
winner of The Stars oratorical con-
test, in memorizing the address with
which she hopes to win the national
contest June 6.
Every one cnvies a winner, but not
every one realizes the work necessary
to be one. Miss Newburn. sixteer
years old, today is the envy Of thou
sands Of Washington school children
who would like to change places with
her.
Here is what she did to win. Her
story carries a lesson for every school
pupil, and every one else. How she
emulated the example of Demosthenes
who learned TO speak amid the roar
of the sea shore, herself using Rock
Creek in place of the sounding surf
is an interesting story of real
modern American girl.
Not at First Interested.
When l first heard about The Star
oratorical contest" said Ruth New
burn, Il was not intensely interested
But / told my family about it,"
Her mother urged her to take part
because she felt that public speaking
would enlarge the experience of her
daughter.
1t was not until that evening. when
they discussed the latest attack on
the Constitution that had just been
made by a public speaker, that Ruth
Newburn was really aroused.
People ought not to be allowed
to talk about the foundation of their
country, the Constitution, in dis
paraging terms" was the way she
reacted to the comments about Tho
uselessness of the Constitution.
Then she saw that by putting al
her efforts into the contest to increase
interest in and respect for the Con.
stitution she could do her bit toward
discouraging such attacks on the
Constitution.
Ruth Newburn haunted libraries
for several days. Il used for my
photography over fifteen books, and
it took a good deal of time to make
notes on them ALL" she said.

to add more"
In order TO have the right word TO
express just her meaning Miss New
burn took a book of synonyms and
spent one evening just checking up
on all the words.
Her mother said it wouldn't have
been so hard, although il took time,
but Ruth was busy getting copy ready
for the Central High School Year Book
and had to do most of her work on
her Grafton late at night.
You have to keep busy all the time
if you want to do everything in high
school nowadays" is what Ruth New
burn said.

HOWARD SEES DRIFT
TO WORLD TRIBUNAL
British Envoy Says Attitude Of
Mind Is More Important Than
Methods Themselves.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May IT. - Sir
Esme Howard, British ambassador,
speaking tonight before the American
Academy of Political and Social
nance of world peace, said that 1.-THE
establishment of peace on a perma-
nent footing really depends more on
the mentality, on the attitude, on
the heart of mankind generally with
regard to the methods of dealing
with international affairs than on
those methods themselves"
Now, l trust that l am not going
to be considered as throwing cold
water on any plans or proposals for
world peace that may be put forward
tonight" he said.
1T seems to me-" he continued,
that this mentality, this attitude,
this feeling of heart, will be regu-
lated only by the two great primitive
passions of love and fear"
Law Instead Of War.
The ambassador said that one way
to end war would be for the nations,
out of real desire for peace spring
ing from the passion of love for hu-
manity. to submit their differences to
some process of law rather than to
war.
so far as 1 can judge" he said
after SO short sojourn in this coun-
try, the principle of legal settlement
of disputes which cannot be settled
by diplomatic negotiations, princi-
pie for the maintenance of which the
United States have always taken a
leading part, is becoming increasingly
accepted. The majority of leaders
of public opinion in America undoubt-
edly prefer the process of law for
settling disputes to ordeal by battle.
There may be divergences of opinion
the principle at any rate is very
widely accepted.
Il cannot, therefore, but feel that
once this great country, which car
perhaps do more than any other tc
promote world peace, is agreed or
the principle, a practical solution will
not be long in coming and that we
may hope that with the strong helI
of the United States, another world
war may be avoided"
Gen. Bliss Favors Court.
Acceptance of the world court "as
the first step toward international
peace" was urged by Maj. Gen. Tas-
ker H. Bliss, retired.
A spirited discussion arose when
Arthur Bullard, editor of Oul
World, New York, asserted that a
