OLD GREEK GAMES WILL BE REVIVED
DelphiC Games to Be Held at Home Of Famed Oracle

Washingt on, D C. April 1e.-The Delphic Festival to be held in Del phi, Greece, during May, has for it's ancestor the Pythian games of ar- cient times. These took place every four years in honor of Apollo legendary founder of Delphi
 Nothing is left of old Delphi but its ruins and a stirring history, Of the ruins, the stadium is well pre- served. Some feature of the festival will be given there. The athletic events probably will take place on the less restricted plains Of Thessaly where athletes ot old displayed their prowesS.
 City Was Built on Terraces 'Delphi lies on the southern slopes of Mount parnasSus, north of the Gulf Of Corinth." says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. head quarters of the National Geographic society, Rising above it are two sheer cliffs. the Phaedriadae. or shining ones Of the ancients. and below it lie the Thessalonican plains The city Was built in terraces up the monnt9iusid".
 Until recently the village Of kastri occupied the site Of Delphi but 1t was moved d mile away when aychacologists began cNcaVatiug the city. Kastri. with it's two inns and a single street. is the headquarters for tourists who visit Delphi.
 "The oracle. supreme fortune teller of the ancient world. was the cause of Delphi's once universal re- nOWn. Legend says that intoxicating gases were waited through a Assure in the mountainsido. When these gases were breathed, they endowed the breather with prophetic powers A tripod was erected over the Assure and q pri"steSs was placed in a chair on the tripod As she breathcd tn" gases, she uttered prophecies which were translated to the outer world hy the priests of the temple that had grown up around the sacred spot
 kings and statesmen consulted the oracle. Palm readers. astrologors and common SeoresSes palcd in comparison with h"r powers. The pelphic priests interpreted the pro- phesics Of the priestess so am- bisuously they could not fail. At one time Croesus oc Sardis, the Rocke- Teller of the ancient world, contem- plated war against the persians He sent messengers 10 the oracle asking her advice. She responded that if he Warred with the Persans he would destroy a great empire.

JUSTICE IS URGED
FOR M|NOR|T|ES
Stresemann's Eloquent Plea
Before League Council |
Lacks Emotion.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
GENEVA, March 6.-Speaking calm
ly and eloquently before the League Of
Nations Council, DR.. Gustav Strese-
mann, the German foreign minister,
today delivered an address in behalf Of
improved protection for the rights Of
minority peoples.
There was no trace of the explosive
emotion he had displayed at the Lugano
session Of the Council in December
when he had wordy alteration with
Foreign Minister Zaleski of Poland over
the question of German minorities In
Polish Upper Silesia.
Proposing the creation of a special
commission to study the whole prob
lem of minorities, DR.. Stresemann de-
clared In solemn tones that the peoples
attached to nations not their own have
eternal right to speak their own Ian
guage and to keep their souls and
faith"
Minorities In Despair, He Says.
He energctically opposed the idea
that minorities must gradually be as
simulated with the populations among
whom they live. He charged that mi
noritieS were not given fair chance
to present their grievances under the
existing system and we're filled with
disilluslonment, skepticism and even
despair about the League whose duty
it was to protect them.
Citing Goethe's admonition about
putting nations and men on guard
mann warned the Council that the peo-
pie who dominate today may not DOM
mate tomorrow and that peoples must
be accorded just treatment in con-
sonayIce with the ideal of arranging "a
peace for all eternity"
DR.. Stresemann warmly approved o
proposal by Raoul Dandurand Of Can
ada whereby all IA members OF the
Council could have a representative on
the minorities committee as substitute
for the present committee of three. He
expressed belief that minorities should
have every opportunity to lay COM
plants before the Council and that the
greatest publicity should accompany the
entire procedure.
Hits Secret Attitude.
Previously, Mr.. Dandurand, In sup
porting his project to speed up action
on petitions from minority peoples, told
the Council that 1t was actuated by 0
spirit Of justice. He thought that the
attitude of mystery and silence which,
| he said, surrounded minority petitions
encouraged belief that the League was
not fulfilling an obligation incumbent
upon 1t.
The committee of jurists which re-
ported to he Council on he Dandurand
proposal said that it involved new rules
which would require agreement be-
tween the Council and the states con-
cerned. For one thing, II aims at COM
pei!ing the governments involved to for
ward to the Council certain conmunica-
tons at the request Of the petitioners.

Arrangements have been made

Quoted for several days in the

meeting held today at noon of

that the results Of the open

as to justify the maintenance of
the headquarters.
Volunteers for the maintenance
Of the headquarters for the re-
mainder of the week have been
obtained and others will be
sought. The demand for the lit
erature of the movement has
been such as to require the pres.
ence Of several persons at the
room daily, from noon until 10
O'Clock at night, and this sched-
ule will be observed until Satur-
