ENTRY. INTO

Americas actual entrance
into the World Court has been
projected into the dim and

forestalled entirely, by the ac-
ton OF the powers at Geneva

The irreconciIabIes are elated
over the refusal of the powers TO
accent the fifth reservation, which
states that the World Court may
not render an advisory opinion IN
any case IN which the United
States "has or claims to have" an
interest, without the consent OF
this Government being specifically
given. The pro-Court forces are
correspondingly glum, and yet
withal rather helpless to remedy It.

sion reached at Geneva--and there Is

WILKINS PLANS START
 TO HUNT ARCTIC LAND
Explorer Scheduled to Hop on From Fairbanks to Point Barrow
 Today.

Fairbanks. Alaska, May P- Captain George II. Wilkins, leader Of the Detroit Arctic expedition, plans to leave here today on final search for land in the Arctic wastes.
 He will use the Alaskan. a single-en- zine airplane piloted by Carl 5. Eielson. The first hop will be to Point Barrow.
 The aviators will fly 4o0 miles north of Barrow cruise east and west over the Arctic goo miles and return to Barrow. X radio outfit will be carried. Wilkins said. The Alaskan is equipped with an extra
 oil reservoir. which, with gasoline gives it a cruising range of over l15o0 and probably 2.o0o miles. The Alaskan's engine. a 400 horse power liberty. is in good condition. Gasoline taken 10 the supply base

 over the possibility of being forced ! to land in the uneXplored Arctic
 Previous scouting expeditions showed Isuitahle landing places.
 | It is largely on stories and leg
 ends of Eskimos who lives on the
 fringe Of the Arctic that Wilkins bases his hopes of finding land there.
 The natives have repeatedly de- clared that migratory birds fly north
 from Alaska and return with their young, which could not possibly
 have hatched on ice, in the opinion of bird experts.
 1 Eskimos told Wilkins on his last
 trip to Point Barrow that white
 foxes annually migrate out over the lee pack into the north.
 Wilkins says that if he finds land ! he will claim 1t for the United States and name 1t Harris land, in honor of an American scientist named Harris who first advanced 6 theory that such land existed.

Superior, Raiding His Quarters,
 Found Booze There

San Antonio, Texas, May 5 P- An interpretation of army reguIs- tons by court martial here would permit d superior officer to conduct d liquor raid in subordinate's quar- ters without a search warrant,
 This decision was reached at Fort Sam Houston yesterday when Cap tain c. W. Cutchin, first infantry. second division. was convicted of possession of liquor after a search of his quarters by Colonel John L. Dewitt, Punishment was set at 50 files reduction and confinement to the post for six months.
 Colonel Dewitt preferred charges against Captain Cutchin and testi- fed that he found small quantity Of liquor in the captains room on March g. Captain Cutchin was ac- quilted of charges of intoxication and making himself unfit for mli- tary service.
 The case was similar to tho re- cent cocktail" court martial of Colonel A. $. Williams at San Diego marine base, in that a superior off cer preferred charges and evidence was introduced to show that the captain had been i'll at the time of discovery of liquor in his room. Rec ords showed his illness to be in fuenZa, for which he went to the hospital subsequent to March 15. the date on which he was accused of be- ing unfit for duty.
