KING OPENS SALT|NG
in ITS 1,O)OTH YEAR
Parliament of Iceland Began
in 930-AmeriCanS See
Ceremonies.
BY the Associated Press.


THrNGvELLIR, Iceland, June 26.-
Christian, King of Iceland, today opened
the 1880 session of the Icelands Althinp
at the very spot where, 1000 years aao,
this oldest Parliament In the world first
was convened.
King Christian stood upon a huge
rock in the middle of the Plain of
Thingvalla, where, Grim Qoatbeard. the
lawgiver, in ancient days, recited from
memory the entire code of the Ice
landic law.
The ceremonies today were simple as
OF old, so simple as TO obtain an almost
religious aspect.
The broad plain, bounded on the
south by great lake, on the north by
rugged, snow-capped mountains, on the
east and west by two great assures of
volcanic formation cut before the dawn
Of history, was dotted with many thou
sands of people who had come from far
corners of the earth.
Included in the vast throng of Wis
itorS were many Americans whose birth
or ancestry was Icelandic. They watched
with keen pleasure the unfolding of the
impressive jubilee celebration.
The Icelandic Parliament, or AlthinR.
Is now held in Reykjavik. The AlthinV
is reckoned to have been established in
$50. A universal code of law for the
Icelandic Republic was then accepted.
At the time the Northern peoples did
not write down their lave but MEM
orized them and had them rehearsed
in public at their "Things,s or assem-
blies. The exact wording of the flrst
code of laws Of the Icelandic Republic
is not known, for it was not until l1l7
that 1celandic laws began to be recorded
in writing.

NEW YORK, June 26.-It seemed

In . soft-toned dinner gown, as she
sat there on q pent house terrace high
above the lights Of Manhattan, could
have had the hard and savage and
perilous adventures thus calmly and
casually related.
That chilling face-to-face with death
when her ammunition failed as the
buffalo herd charged her, the rough,
cruel hardshipS and privations of travel
In the Belgian Kongo, the insane pygmy
who sought to kill her, the steaming
heat, the streaming rains, the constant
hazard of life among these African
tribes, the loneliness. And especially
the lonelinessl
For Mrs. Della j. Akeley had gone
single handed into the dark wilderness,
a solitary white woman with only black
boys as burden bearers. But If, as she
admitted before she started on this lat
est adventure, she was to have and did
have moments of fear, they never
knew 1t.
The expedition just completed was
Mrs Akeley's fourth into Central Africa.
This time 1t was not a hunt for big
game. 1t was a hunt for little men,
the forest pygmies, strange, shy crea-
lures, about whom there is so much to
be learned.

Mrs. Akeley wanted TO study them
and their customs, their games and
their dress, If one could call 1t that,
and most of what she went out for she
accomplished. She has returned with
hundreds Of photographs, with native
tools and ornaments and weapons, and
with the material for pygmy villages,
which she will set up for the Brooklyn
Museum. But there is much she still
wants to do.
II am going back" she said But
this time not alone. I'll have COM

Mrs. Akeley, who was the first wife
of the late Carl Akeley, explorer and
naturalist, spent five months In the
pygny country. She had planned to
stay longer, but constant, torrential
rains made this inadvisable. She struck
into the pygny region from Arab. A

Japan DISCLAIMS
XPANS|ON|ST AIMS
Prince Togugawa Also Backs
Naval Treaty in Talk
to RotarianS.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 26-Prince Iyesato
Tokugawa, president Of the House of
Peers of the Japanese Parliament, told
the Rotary international convention to-
day that "Japan's foremost aspiration
today is to cultivate the arts of peace"
and that Japan needs navy adequate
only to defend her own corner Of the
Pacific"
To deliver his talk before Rotary's
1900 delegates, the Prince took a one
day Stopover out of a six-month trip
which will take him TO a number of
important sessions. including that of
the League of Nations at Geneva. His
position as head of the parliament and
son of the last Shogun-.his father led
the warrior clan that ruled Japan for
centuries-makes him today one of the
empires leaders.
Economics Chief Aim.
"Japan's absorbing thought" he told
the Rotarians, sis to put her financial
and economic structure upon firmer
foundations, curtailing expenditure and
seeking markets overseas for her manu-
featuring and products. It Is self-evi-
dent that this end can be attained only
by policy Of peace, goodwill and
friendliness. AS a natural corollary, she
Is in favor OF any proposal which looks
toward the advancement Of interna-
tional peace.
Like liberty, peace demands eternal
vigilance as its price. To the goal of
peace there can be no short cut. 1t is
in this light we welcome the naval
treaty Of London, q result of three
months hard work by the delegates of
the flve powers concerned. We consider
the London treaty remarkable con-
tribution toward disarmament, toward
the peace of the world.
And as for Japan, the navy she
needs is a navy adequate only for de-
fense-to defend her own corner of the
Pacific and not to carry any offensive
campaign in distant waters. We desire
peace. We cherish no territorial ambi-
tions. We have no intention to impose
any national policy upon any of our
neighbors.
People Depend on Sea.
"Only I want you to remember that
we are people Of the sea. The sea is
our security. To the sea we look for
food and other essential supplies. Upon
the sea depends our national existence,
our national life. Our country is but a
cluster of small islands, exceedingly
small, devoid, as you are aware, of raw
materials essential to human existence
and to industry. A few weeks blockade
would starve us all ana would bring
our factories and shops to standstill." j"

pared by Mr. Clark-now apparently to
become the Monroe Doctrine of today
holds that the 107-year-old keynote
American foreign policy relates exclu-
sively to relations between the United
States and Europe. Clark promulgates
the view that the doctrine does not ap-
ply at all to purely American re-
lations nor essay to lay down any rules
governing relations among the States
of the Western Hemisphere. 1t is a
long step toward meeting the Latin
view that the Monroe Doctrine should
be a ''multi-lateral' affair, in which
all the Americas are concerned, instead
of "uni-lateraT' proposition, in which,
as far as the Western world is con-
cerned, only the United States has an
interest.
The expectation is that when the
new" doctrine is officially brought to
the attention of the Latin American
governments, there will be ample evi-
dence that it has put our relations
with the 20 sister republics on a differ
ent and altogether gratifying plane.

lords of the pygmies. The Sultan of
the MangebetIs sent his men into the
forest to bring the pygmies in, but they
were disappointment. For they were
sophisticated little fellows who had
posed frequently for the motion pic
lures, and were ready to dash here and
there at the white mans call.
So, Mrs. Akeley returned to Arab
and then started out once more, this
time by motor car, which carried her
deep into the pygmy country. When
pygnnieS were seen slipping through the
forests edging the roadway, Mrs. Axe
ley would give up her car and 60 in
after them, camping for days until
she had made friends with them and
could study them in detail.
1t was during one of these periods of
encampment that Mrs. Akeley had her
encounter with the buffalo. She was
out shooting herself dinner. She
fired at buck, but a herd of killer
buffalo came crashing down upon her
in response.
Saved by Tree.
"They are little devils, those buffalo,,
remarked Mrs. Akeley. II was in q
tight place, set myself behind tree
and aimed at the leader of the rush.
But sputl My ammunition was dead.
No good. I was helpless.
"The tree saved me. The buffalo
went charging by on either side of it.
1t divided them and saved me- The
buffalo swept on past. That ammuni-
ton? 1 found that it was 20 years old.
1t came from New York And 1 am
going to see about that" Mrs. Akeleys
lips frightened
The craZed native who tried to kill
her was a boy.
Akeley explained. For days he had
followed me, everywhere. Always point
ing at me in a curious way. And then
he tried to knife me. I turned Just in
time to save my life"

Missouri started of on the wrong
