There is nothing behind any treaty except the private word of the nations signing it.

I think the signing of this treaty is a great triumph in the cause of peace. : Reservation Question. “Some other Senators now in Wash- ington are at a loss to understand how letters of interpretation of the pact | such as those that have been written to the American Secretary of State can be regarded as reservations to the These interpretations were it was signed by the nations and Sena tors take the view that these govern- ments are bound by what they signed { since, in their judgment, the languag of the treaty is specific and plain. | “Unless some statement on this | phase of the subject has been made be- | fore the mext session of Congress, it is likely that the foreign relations com- mittee will make a formal inquiry of the | State Department before recommending | favorabie action by the Senate.” | PARK POLICE NET | $1,745 IN FINES| Sixty-Five Arrests Made in Month | for Violation of Reg- ulations.

Fawcett, British explorer, in search of whom he penetrated the' jungles of Matto Grosso, Brazil. This is the belief of Leonard Living- | ston Legters, Philadelphia missionary- | explorer, who located Fawcett’s trunks nd other evidences of his visit in an Indian village on the Kulisevu River in | the Summer of 1926. | Indians, the most savage in Brazil, | through whose habitat they must pass and treacherous rapids seemingly with- out number, constitute the great menace | to Dyott's party of five white men and | to the Bragilian Indian guides who may | still be with them. | The hopes of Comdr. Dyott, who in a | expedition fleeing down the Xingu | River after averting a clash with hostiie | Indians only by strategy., rest chiefly | upon his collapsibly canvas canoes, in | Mr. Legters' opinion | “If Dyott succeeds in passing through | the country of the Xingu River head- | waters, he will Be the first white man | who did, to my knowledge.” said the missionary s~out. “The Xingu River has more rapids than all its many tribu- | taries combined. Calls Attempts Tmpossible. “If Dyott were depending on the bark canoes the Indians make and which we used on the smaller rivers in my trips into the interior, I would call his atlempt a physical impossibility. No | bark canoes could live through the ex- nce. They are too frail. and if oy are carried out of the water they ak up.” Comdr. Dyott foresaw this contin- gency from a previous trip into Brazil two vears ago, when, after arduous traveling. he reached Roosevelt's “River of Doubt” and provided himself with | the collapsible canvas canoes for this expedition.

We hope to reach Para at | the beginning of October.” | The trip down the Xingu is an ex- traordinary undertaking, Mr. Legters ex- plained. He doubts if Dyott will arrive It means a jour- | ney of approximately 1,500 miles, with | the considerable added risk and extra | needed supplies such a trip entails. | Dyott spoke of losing considerable food | in the rapids. and reported many of | his men {ll with malaria fever, especial- | virulent in that country ‘ “Man!" exclaimed Mr. Legters, “when we got to a place where two of | the five tributaries of the Xingu River | joined it looked to me like the Missis- sippi, it was so wide.
