Washington Letter
BY HERBERT 3. PLUMNTER

WASHINGTON, May 15-Diplomacy seems TO have
sharpened its wits by filtration with danger.
Among the foreign ENJOYS now on duty in WASH
tngton there are several who have just earned the title
of adventurer and have had experiences which would
inspire any writer of fiction to stirring tales.
For instance. there is Col. Orestes Ferrara. ambas-
sador of Cuba to the United States. He began his ca
reer as a soldier of fortune and won international
fame as a liberal leader. He. was once famous as a
|revolutionist. He also was known on two continents
AS a duelist.
A Neapolitan by birth. Colonel Ferrara was in
|spired to throw in his lot with the revolutionists when
Cuba revolted. He fought under the banner or Maxi
mo Gomez and came out Of the brief but victorious
struggle with the rank Of colonel in the Cuban army
PRICE ON HIS HEAD
DR.. Juan Sacasa. minister Of Nicaragua. had a
price upon his head when he was In Washington not
so long ago. Then he was seeking recognition for the
forces opposed to President Diaz.
Dr. Chao-Chu WI. representative at Washington
or Chinas new nationalist government. has been a
|revolutionist, too. but his talents were used abroad to
build a sympathetic sentiment toward his countrv's
nationalist aspirations.
The minister Of Poland. Tytus Filipowicz. has a
record OF prison escapes. Punishment and bomb plots
His has been the harried. hunted life typical of those
who aspired to revolt under the Russian car. His
wife shared his adventurous career as a Polish patriot
Born In Russian Poland. Mr.. Filipowicz was from
ms earliest youth involved with promotion of the Po-
|lish nationalist movement. After service with Mar
shall Pilsudskis legions in the war he was named first
Polish vice minister Of foreign affairs and was sent 70
the Versailles peace conference as a delegate.
IN RED PRISON
In 1919 Mr.. Filipowicz went to the Caucasus a.
chief Of a Polish mission. Caught in the Bolshevik
Hood, ne passed several months in a Red prison and
was later deported. But after the peace OF Riga he
was sent 70 Moscow as the first Polish minister to the
soviet state. Later he was Polish minister to Finland
and more recently to Belgium.
Michael Macwhite. minister Of the Irish Free
State. was trained in pedagogy and then thrust into
the most adventurous type OF military activity with
the world war.
He enlisted in the French foreign legion and went
out to Siberia, then swept BY the Austrian invasion.
He first came to the United States as a member ~
the French war mission.
a north Of Ireland man, yet sympathetic With the
south ne threw in his lot with the IRISH Free State
when i was formed instead OF with the Ulster regime

Explorers Differ
On Ship or Plane

Which is the best way to reach the
North Pole-by ship or by airplane?
Fridtjof Nansen, who is about to start
on an international polar flight, has
decided on the plane, while Comdr.
Hansen, who accompanied Nansen on
the Fran expedition of 1894-1896, says
that only boat can be absolutely eff
fective. Hansen argues that with the
technical resources available there are
no serious difficulties to bar the way to
the Pole by sea, while airplanes are de-
pendent on atmospheric conditions and
exposed to many dangers, 1.-The more so
since it has become a fixed idea that
such attempts can be undertaken only
in early Spring" He goes on: II know
from personal experience that in Sum-
mer the ice cover is not strong and
that the Polar Sea from Spitzbergen to
the North Pole is navigable. In 1896
the Fran passed through pack ice be-
tween 80 and "a degrees north. AS for
the airplane, the late Roald Amundsen,
after his forced landing at SO degrees
north, says that his plane was in con-
slant danger because the ice was drift
ing and leaving big open places of sea-"

Japanese Diet Rows
Blamed to Bad Air

Lack of ventilation in the Diet build
ings is given as the cause Of much of
the petty wrangling and fist fights
which occur almost daily in the legisla-
tive chambers. Reports of the bad at
mosphere, not only figuratively but ac-
tually speaking, have been appearing in
the vernacular press for some time.
A leading Toxic newspaper, availing
itself Of the services of a government
official, had him give the question scien-
tific study. He is DR.. Yutaka Kinugasa
OF the sanitation bureau Of the home
ministry, who reported that the air In
the Diet chambers. especially that of
the House OF Representatives, is a dis
grace to the country and urged that
alterations be started at once to remedy
this unfortunate state of affairs. Gem
tlemen prominent In their home dis
tricts behave like children when under
the influence of the foul air, he said.
They not only are unable to put their
best efforts to the business at hand, but
make bad impression on those In the
spectators galleries.

Vote for Women Wins
Adherents i'm Japan

A group of younger members of the
Minseito or opposition party are plan
ming to introduce a bill into the diet
providing for woman suffrage in Japan.
If they do there is the possibility of a
lively discussion of interest to every
one in the country. So many innova-
tons have been made in japanese
government in late years that hackers
of the bill think the present opportune
as the country is used to far-reaching
changes. The first general election to
be held under the universal manhood
suffrage laws took place year ago and
only last october the first jury trial was
held in Japan. These are the two big
gest changes which have been made
and there are many who believe that
the authorities should go all the way
and give the women of Japan the right
to vote. However, while favoring the
adopting of modern customs as much
as possible. government leaders do not
feel that the time has come for women
TO have the franchise.
