armament preparatory commission

1T must not be forgotten that
the secret Anglo-French treaty Of
1928, which created a storm of dis
approval throughout America and
England because it was inimical to
the best interests of the United
States, contained the very clause
now being sponsored by the Amer
lean ambassador.
Two years ago the war depart
ment effectively objected to pro-
posal to exclude trained army re-
serves from military calculation be-
cause it made a farce Of serious

The present meeting in Geneva
is the sixth session of the disarma-
ment preparatory commission ex-
tending over a period of years.
Nothing has come of the past meet

Col Fawcett left Baikari on May 81,
1925. and nine days later sent back
letters from a place he called Dead
Horse Camp This was the last au-
thentic news from him, but it did not
help us much because no one knew
where Dead Horse Camp was.
When writing to the Royal Geo.
graphical Society he had disclosed his
plans to the extent of saying that on
leaving Baikari he would strike north
to the Paranatinga River, and at a
given point turn east toward the
Xingu When we came to follow along
his trail we found it turned off to the
northeast and took an entirely different
direction. BY stroke of good luck we
fell in with a Baikari Indian called
Bernadino, who had accompanied Faw-
cett He steered us across country to
a stream known as the KuluSeu, down
which the Fawcett party had sailed
in two canoes. This saved us a world
of trouble and enabled us to get on the
scent without much loss of time.
There are no regular trails of any
sort in this region. only those made by
wandering tapir or Indian paths that
criss-crossed the open chapada in
rather a confusing manner. 1t was
obvious from the start that Fawcett
had not only taken no one into his
confidence, but had Intentionally given
out information calculated to miSlead
any one who tried to follow. He had
good reasons for thinking others might
try to do this.
Followed by Prospector.
In one of his early trips a French
prospector had trailed him in for some
considerable distance, and as surely as
Fawcett broke camp in the morning the
prospector would be there by nightfall
pitching his tent and waiting for the
next move.
We came near to having a similar
experience. When We were in Corumba
German clamored perSistently for us
to take him. He followed us, to Cuyaba
and there again tried to force himself
upon us. When We finally started he
told every one that it was his intention
to follow close behind us and take adj
vantage of our presence to insure his
own safety in the district.
The lack Of authentic information
upon which to work and the difficulties
we were up against can be gathered by
quoting from letter Fawcett wrote on
March IA, 1925. 1t ran in part as fol-
lows:
Il am not giving you any closer in
formation as to locality because I do
not want to encourage any tragedy for
an expedition inspired to follow our
footsteps under the impression that 1t
is an easy matter 1t must be UNI
