His pres- ence [n this country on this last visit had not been made known to the press. The visit was brief, lasting about three weeks, and was devoted to raising money for the more than 100 high schools and elementary schools for the children of Russlan refugees ubroad which he established as the head of the Association of Russian Zemstvos out- side Russa Prince Lvoff visited America three times. His first visit took place in 1918 and the second in 1922.

They are supported mainly by the govern- ment and the Parliament of Czecho- slovakia. Hix Work Outlined. A.

A prince by birth, he became a Demo. crat, a Republican, one who in 1817 was directly instrumental in the downfall of c m. “Irince Lvoff was an idealist in the best sense of the word. As such he not only visualized great and wonder- ful things, but knew the practical ap- proach to them. There was some- thing of an American in this Russian prince, in his overwhelming vitality and in his almost limitless organizing genius.

While the events of 1917 came as the conclusion of a century-old struggle for democracy in Russia, three men were directly responsible for the success of the revolution. Among them, Prince Lvoft is the first. The two others are Prof. Paul Milukoff and Alexander Kerensky, at that time leaders of the liberal and radical opposition in the Duma.

C. Last Year, Out for More Honors. Eastern High School, whose repre- sentative won second place in the District of Columbla competition in The Evening Star's 1924 oratorical contest, has gone enthu siastically into the contest this Spring. Charles Hart, principal of the school, in the course of an ad- dress on the sub- ject of the contest before a recent mass meeting of the student body, said: T he national oratorical contest was the outstand- ing ‘school event of last vear. We are out this year to go our record of last year one an have & place in CHARLES HART. better, 50 that we the national finals Mr. Hart has appointed a faculty committee to direct the work of the contest in his school. The committes Is as follows: Miss F. B Egbert, chairman: Miss Kate D. Buckman and Miss Olivia Taylor. This faculty committee has selected a student committee, made up of Kingsland Prender, chairman; Margaret Hoover and Alvin Everett. Last Year's Aspirant to Try Again. Miss Ruth Greenwood, daughter of Representative and Mrs. Arthur H Greenwood of Washington, Ind., who n second place last Spring for stern High School while a junior, is now a senior and is again entered, in the contest. She will, however, have to prove her right to the school championship and the school prize all ocer again, for she will find even more competitors this vear than last, Under the rulés of the contest pu- pils are not debarred from partici- pation in the contest one year be- cause of having partciipated in the previous year or in any preceding year of the project. This rule is based on the theory that younger pupils might be restrained from par- ticipating if they thought that the effort made while they were less ma- ture would prevent them from par- ticipating as juniors or seniors.

The result has been that through- out the country many extremely youthful contestants are using the| 925 contest as a training ground for future competitions, hoping, of | course, to win this year, but being| certain that even if they lose this | they will not thereby debar themselves from future competition but will, on the contrary, fit them- | selves better for making good show- | ings in the future SUES MEXICAN PATRIARCH Ejected Catholic Files Charges Against New Group.

Their speeches are characterized by short sentences and tremendous dramatic power.

During the course of the last long and bloody war Logan remained idle in his camp, an advocate of peace. Such was my love for the whites that my count men pointed as I passed and said: ‘Logan is the friend of the white man.’ “I had often thought to have lived with you, but for the injuries of one man, Col. Cresap, the last Spring. in cold blood, and unprovoked, mur- Gered all the relations of Logan, not even sparing my women and chil- dren “There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me for revenge. 1 have sought it 1 have killed many. 1 have fully glutted my vengeance For my country, 1 rejoice at the promise of peace: but do not harbor a thought that mine is a joy of fear. Logan never felt fear. He will not turn on his heel to save his life.| Who is there to mourn for Logan? Not one.” Weatherford, after his defeat at the Great Bend of the Tallapoosa in 1814, addressed Gen.
