Healy, | assistant dean of the school, who has jbeen identified with it from the begin- ning, pointed out the significance that the Georgetown department was estab- lished at a critical period of history, im- {certain needs growing out of the new political and economic relations which this country then assumed with other nations and the development of Ameri- can forelgn trade. “Thé Georgetown school has adopted for its motto, ‘International Peace Through International Understanding,’ he said, “and hence in preparing men for a foreign service career, it has not solely in mind the ,objective of ena- | bling them to gain positions, but to pre- pare these men to take their place as | important factors in the promotion of and in furthering the prosperity and ' Lfiap‘nincss of the world on an honorable asis “Foreign service in its different | branches—foreign trade, international shipping, diplomatic, consular and trade | commissioner work, and the like—is a | comparatively new profession in the | United States. With the World War there came fundamental changes in American policy and commercial and economic life. Our new position of world power makes foreign trade and foreign service vital to us and they will be- come more so in future years. Gain- ing and keeping first place in interna- tional trade, diplomacy and shipping is not going to be easy work. It will re- quire that our interests be championed by highly competent persons, We face | high-grade competition, carried on by well trained competitors. We have lit- tle hope of holding our present position or progressing unless we meet this com- petition with a still better trained per- sonnel. “It was partly to equip men for this training that the ;?:ho‘:)l of Foreign Service started its pioneer work in this country. It was established not only in the interests of the United States but of the world community of nations to act as one of the ploneers in placing the foreign service profession on a scientific basis, to prepare the youth of America to take up their work in this career, which possibly more than any other careers, demands men of superior quali- fications and with the best sort of training. Ten Years’ Expansion. “From a score of students 10 years ago, the school has grown to be one of the largest departments of the uni. versity, giving over 100 courses yearly to approximately 600 students from mediately after the World War, to meet | better understanding between nations | President - Elect Deeply by Evidences of Engineering Skill. TRAINS PIERCE PEAKS Rich Storehouse of Pampas Is Seen After Glories of Mountains. Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover's trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded for the United States, are to be gained from the interesting story written by Rex Collier, The Star’s own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. | BY REX COLLIER. “Sooner shall these mountains crum- ble into dust than the people of Argen- tina and Chile break the peace which they have sworn to maintain at the feet of Christ the Redeemer.” These words, inscribed upon a lone statue of the Christ at the crest of the mighty Andes, tell an eloquent good- will story of their own. It is a story of how one of the most formidable barriers of rock known to man, interposed between two great South American nations by the cataclysmic hand of Nature became, paradoxically, an imperishable bond of friendship. Once that majestic bulwark of gran- ite, whose rugged ramparts reach high- er to the heavens than any of nature’s pinnacles, save some of those in the Himalayas, had been the subject of a bitter dispute between the peoples of Chile and Argentina. A misunder- standing had arisen as to the location of the watershed which formed the boundary line between the republics. War seemed inminent, when a pro- posal was made to submit the contro- versy to arbitration. The proposal was accepted, an American mediator was appointed and definition of the frontier was left to a commission headed by the late King Edward VII of England. Reacting from their war scare, the Latins swore a solemn vow never to resort to arms against each other, and in commemoration of this pledge, they erected on the boundary line, 12,800 feet above the sea, the world-famous “Christ of the Andes.” Progress Path Cleared. To bind these peoples closer, man later strung across those lofty, snow- crowned peaks sturdy bands of steel, every State and about 25 foreign coun- tries. On its faculty rolls are 65 dis- tinguished specialists covering the va- rious fields of training that enter into the foreign service profession. Its graduates are scattered to the four corners of the globe. “Higher education is conservative and slow moving, hence it is doubly to_the credit of the Georgetown Schoo of Foreign Service that in such a short space of time it has obtained world- tion based on the results e of its worl AT SO AR ATTEMPT TO FIND BURLINGAME BANK ACCOUNT IS FUTILE (Continued From First Page.) the officer, as he has been told she would in the near future, the corpora- tion counsel said there is no reason why the case should drag along until Congress expires. Furthermore, Blanton is regarded as one of the “essential” witnesses, and as he already is pre| g_to return to his home in Abilene, Tex, it is planned to set the trial date in advance of his leaving. Sevetal bank attaches also are to be called as witnesses, one of whom is reported to have told De- partment of Justice agents of a conver- sation he had with Mrs. Blalock about her account. None Admit Knowing Her Haven. ‘The whereabouts of Mrs. Blalock no longer seems to be a mystery, for Col- lins, Bride and several others vitally concerned with the case declare they have been assured through one of her friends that she will return to aid in the prosecution of Burlingame. None of them, however, admit knowing her hiding place, or would they reveal the name of the “friend.” ‘The Commissioners will give serious thought this week to the personnel of the special Burlingame trial board and prepare to the appointments as soon as Bride frames the charges on which the officer is to bz tried. It originally had been planned to go out- side of the District service for the ma- Jority of this board, but doubt has been expressed whether this could be done legally, since there is no fund available to comnensate the members. Corporation Counsel Bride and Ring- gold Hart, principal assistant corpora- tion counsel, informally held last week that the Commissioners have authority to name any person or persons to the board, but a question was later raised if such persons could serve legally with- out com) tion. An official ruling on t will be sought before the board is appointed. ‘The delay in the prosecution of Bur- lingame has given rise to numerous re- ports in the Police Department that no action is to be taken against him. It also was indicated yesterday that among the witnesses who will be called og:ning a pathway of progress across the one time impregnable barrier and bringing the capitals of the two nations 'ti:;mn easy rail communication of each other, The Hoover good-will mission fol- lowed this monumental transandine route in journeying from Santiago to Buenos Aires. In comfortable arm- chair coaches, the g:;ty was carried over the cloud-wreatl heights of the Andes on a roadbed so steep that racks were needed to keeE She powerful driving wheels of the motives from slipping. Over chasms bridged by spans of steel or stone, along narrow ledges chiseled on the precipitous faces of towering bluffs and through long tunnels pierced through solid granite, the party rode spellbound for hours, to emerge finally upon the broad ex- panses of the Argentine Pampas, at the far edge of which lay the largest of South American cities. Spend Night in Foothills. In order to view the unrivaled Andean scenery by daylight, the President- elect timed his departure from Santiago 80 that the night could be spent aboard the train at Los Andes, a quaint town in the foothills of the mountains. The special train had pulled out of the Chilean capital at dusk, amid the cheers of thousands of citizens gathered at the station to see the Americans off. It was but a few hours' ride to Los Andes. There the luxurious train pulled onto a siding and the passengers spent the night in the spacious staterooms of the Chilean “pullmans.” The only hotel in Los Andes had burned to the ground some time before, In the morning, the party trans- ferred from the broad-gauge Chilean State Rallway the narrow-gauge Argentine and Chilean Transandean road, which is the mountain-climbing unit of the route. The “salon coaches” of the mountain line were constructed for comfort and for sightseeing. Lounged in cushioned armchairs, the passengers gazed -on the marvelous panorama through windows extraordinarily wide. As the party ate breakfast in the cozy diner, with its partitioned spaces and built-in seats, the train passed through the verdant Aconcagua Valley, watered by the melting snows from the Cor- dillera ahead. Here there was pastoral prosperity with cattle ranches and flelds of grain and hillsides of grapes. Train Feels Way Cautiously. ‘The small but powerful English-type locomotive labored strenuously onward and upward until the train was wind- ing into the fastnesses of the Chilean Andes, and it seemed that one could walk uoni beside the cars and keep apace of the train. Finally, the ascent became s0 steep that ordinary wheels could not drive the load forward with- out loss of traction, and an electric locomotive, fitted to rack-equipped rails, was substituted. Nearing the international frontier, the train pushed inexorably upward, feel- ing its way cautiously along frightfully sheer cliffs, beneath beetle-browed cni!. beside or over gorges cut deep into the mountains by cascading streams of crystal clear water and through tunnels bored under jutting mountain sides. ‘The engineering mind of the Amer- to testify before the trial board will be Representative Blanton. It is be- lieved that Mr. Blanton will testify willingly as to his part in the prepara- tion of the charges which Mrs. Blalock made against Capt. Burlingame. MOTHER TESTIFIES AT KILGORE TRIAL .| Clandestine Roriance With Son’s Victim, With Trouble Over Re- turned Letter, Bared. By the Associated Press. EL CENTRO, Calif,, February 16.—A mother’s story of a clandestine romance with an Imperial Valley rancher, which led to his slaying by her son, Martin Ray Kilgore, on the plea of “the un- written law,” was related from the wit- ness stand here today in the university student’s trial for murder. Mrs. May Kilgore, her voice barely audible, told of the love letter she wrote to F. Bartley, which fell into her son's hands while he was visiting his parents during a- holiday vacation from his classes at Stanford University. Kilgore confessed to shooting Bartley from ambush near here last December 23, claiming the rancher was attempt- ing to break up his t's home. The love letter, Mrs. Kilgore testified, had been addressed to & neighbor of Bartley, for secret deliyvery to the rancher. The mother told of its return to her in another envels with & re- fusal to deliver the misal fcan President-elect was enthralled by the scientific genius that had achieved these feats of railroading. Mr. Hoover recognized the engineering problems which had been involved in the stupen- dous undertaking, and he marveled at the mastery of them. And, aside from that, he joined with every other mem- ber of the party in exclaiming at the grandeur of scenery which the trip pro- vided. ‘The train slowed up to a snail's pace to enable the passengers to view the (2 Inca Lake—a sapphire set in prongs of rock 9,000 feet above sea level. Not long thereafter the location of the Christ of the Andes was pointed out, but the statue was barely visible in the haze which had descended to blur the distant scenes. Go Through Long Tunnel. ‘The view suddenly was plunged into darkness, and the train began its weird journey through one of the longest and hest tunnels in the world—-a 2-mile hole driven through the very crest of the Andes at a height of 10,512 feet, As the train passed directly under the watershed marking the frontier, a bell signaled the fact. Emerging at Las Cuevas, on the Argentine side, the train halted briefly to permit an Argentine mission of wel- come, headed by Dr. Diaz Leguizamon, of the foreign office, to come aboard and accompany the party to Buenos Alres. The American Ambassador, Robert goodl Bliss, also boarded the train ere. ‘The stop gave all the passengers a chance to stretch and get a bregth of the frigid mountain air.” A light snow- fall, swirling around the overcoated forms of the sightseers, added zest to| Ina cam) the brief inspection of the little town | tion of mul'l‘..fimel. financ! obtainable from the platform.

The crowds were reared themselves ! ain, has announced t he becoming lost in the clouds which had come cown to meet them. | ‘The cloudy conditions prevented the Americans from obtaining a satisfactory view of that tallest of American moun- tains, the gigantic Aconcagua, whose perpetually snow-covered top rises to a height of 23,080 feet. The Puente del Inca, or Inca bridge, a remarkable example of Nature's architecture, was glimpsed, however, as were also “The Penitentes,” another handiwork of | Nature, giving the illusion of a sculpture of cowled Monks ascending the moun- tains. ‘The descent was through a never- ending succession of changing vistas of unequaled beauty. As the grade lessened the racks were dispensed with and at 7 o'clock in the evening the train pulled | into the up-to-date station at Mendoza, Argentine terminus of the Transandine Railway. Officials of the province and the mayor of Mendoza greeted Mr. Hoover and his party at the station, where thousands of men, women and chil- kept back by troops. It was learned that a meeting of Communists had been held in the city the day before and that the agitators had urged the peo- ple to give the Americans the “silent contempt” treatment. Evidently the Argentinians were not taken with the proposal, however, for they shouted loudly their “vivas" and waved Ameri- can flags in honor of the visitors. Luxurious Train Across Pampas. Changing back to broad gauge track again, the party rode all that night across the salty, desert-like Western reaches of the Pampas. The Argentine train was a sumptuous one, with not- ably large compartments for the mem- bers of the party, and two luxurious dining cars. | By morning, the party was speeding | across the fertile portion of the Pam- pas, a vast area of rich farming land strikingly like the prairies of America’s Middle West. There were far-flung fields of grain, with farmhouses visible in the distance; cattle ranches where thousands of steers were fattening themselves for Argentine packing houses; threshing machines and trac- tors hof‘ Amerll:n:’ characteristics; “gauchos,” or ntine cowboys, with broad black wmru and lly:hel or belts around their waists; groups of gnl"rin)undz at work in freshly plowed elds. The party was advised that every tree to be seen on the Pampas had been planted there by hand. Most of the trees were Lombardy poplars, chosen because of their fast-growing qualitjes. It was explained that these plains had been lifted out of the sea at some ancient time, and that trees had never had the chance to invade the great inland areas. Store of Wealth Barely Tapped. ‘The vastness of the Pampas gave one the comforting thought that here could be raised the world’s food supply should the time ever come when other sources of supply proved inadequate to meet the demand. In those vast plains of alluvial soil Argentina has a storehouse of wealth that the present generation has barely tapped and that many future generations will not exhaust. As dusk of the second evening on the train was but an hour or so away, the party found itself passing through a section of country quite closely bullt up, with numerous progressive-looking towns spotting the landscape. Crowds waved to the train from grade crossings and stations, and before long, soldiers were seen pacing sentry beats along the track. The military touch brought forcibly to the party's attention the fact that there had been a bomb plot against the good-will mission. rts had been received previously about the arrest of a gang of alleged conspirators in the Argentine capital, but little anxiety had been caused on the train. The pres- ence of so many guards long the right-of-way induced some uneasiness, however. It was with nerves drawn somewhat tense, therefore, that members of the American mission of friendship looked | P! from the windows of the train and caught their initial skyline view of the “Paris of South America.” MISS RASCHE TO FIGHT INJUNCTION ON FLYING Books Passage Abroad on Way to This Country, Where She Will Appear in Court. By the Assoclated Press. HAMBURG, Germany, February 16.— Miss Thea Rasche, whose plans to make nsatlantic hop from New York last year were halted by injunction pro- ceedings, today booked passage on the steamship Cleveland, which sails for America on February 21. She said she intended to fight for revocation of the injunction which was filed by the Hollis Corporation, former backer of her plan, after she had been promised monetary ald by Mrs, James A. Stiliman of New York. “Although I am confident that my attorneys could obtain revocation of the injunction in my absence, I am going to America so as to appear personally in court and show that I am not afraid of my adversaries,” said Miss Rasche. It was recalled that she salled in secret from New York last August, ex- plaining then that she wished to avoid further complications which might have arisen were it known &ut she planned to leave the United States. “I have not abandoned my life's am- bition to be the first woman pllot to fly a gl-ne across the Atlantic,” sald Miss he. “Therefore I want my status to be absolutely clear, so that no legal technicality may be tha woul'd smash my plans at the last mo- ment.” to boost the consump- Above: Snapshot of the Andes and a mountain stream taken from the win- dow of the Hoover special train during the ride from Santiago to Buenos Aires.

Donovan as Attorney General or as Secretary of War, or whether he will be in the cabinet at all. William N. Doak of Virginia has been placed in the office of Secretary of Labor by a number of authorities. Guards Answer to Puszle. Mr. Hoover holds the answer to the cabinet puzzie and he is guarding it closely. It is a foregone conclusion that when he arrives in Washington there will be efforts to ascertain just what he proposes in the way of a cabinet. Mr. Stimson's announcement in the Philip pines that he was giving up the office of governor general of the islands to take a new post in the Hoover ad- ministration has been generally con- strued that he is to go into the cabinet as Secretary of State. But even in this case there are still skeptics who picture Mr. Stimson as Attorney General or as Secretary of War, a post which he held once before under the Taft administra- tion. Reports from Manila indicate that Mr. Stimson will not be able to reach Washington until the latter part of March or the first of April. If he is to fill the office of Secretary of State it is possible that Secretary Kellogg will agree to carry on for a few weeks under the new administration until his suc- cessor can arrive in the Capital. It has been understood, however, that Mr. Kellogg planned to sail for Europe soon after March 4. The Senate is still struggling over the Jones bill to increase nalties for violations of the prohibition laws. It had been the hope of Senator Jones of Washington to get a vote on the bill last night. But Senator Reed of Mis- sourl desired further time to discuss the measure, and the agreement to limit debate, entered into Friday, was vacated by the Senate, a tribute to the Missour! Senator, and he was permitted” to finish his address. The limitation on length of speeches begins again at 4 p.m. tomorrow, and the expectation is that the bill will be disposed of either tomorrow or Tuesday. Next on the list of the Senate progrt is the Edge res- olution providing for a survey of the roposed Nicaragua Canal route, and, following that, a bill for a Farmer Market in the District of Columbia. When these measures have had their day in the Senate, the Republican steering committee is expected to give the right of way to the census bill and its attendant reapportionment bill. Supply Bills Pending. However, there are appropriation bills knocking at the door for consideration. The naval bill has been reported to the Senate, and it is likely that Chalrman Warren of the appropriations commi tee will insist upon taking this meas- ure up at an early date. It carries the appropriations for the new cruisers, fol- lowing the authorization for their con- struction in the so-called cruiser bill, which has recently been approved by the President. The Senate will have also to consider for the first time the legislative appropriation bill and a sec- ond, deficlency ' bill, not to mention nunierous conference reports on bills which reached that stage. The first deficlency bill, to which was attached the Harris amendment providing $24,- 000,000 additional for ‘prohibition en- forcement, is still causing trouble. It is the hope of the congressional lead- ers that a compromise on the Harris amendment, by substituting the sum of $2,500,000, contained in a supplemental estimate from the’ administration, may be effected so that the deficiency bill, which has many important items, may be finally put through. In its spare moments the Senate may wrestle with several nominations which have been sent to it by President Cool- idge, to some of which there may be Included in this list are the United States Court of t | Customs Appeals and of Henry Glassie to be & member of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.

Last year the trophy was given by the newspaper sponsors of the contest in Canada, but its donation there repre- sented private enterprise devoid of |actual governmental participation.

According to a cable received from | Plerre Marraud, French minister of public instruction, the vase will be a product of the famous Sevres manu- factory, which was founded in 1756, and which is now under the jurisdiction of the ministry of public instruction. The trophy will be the goal toward which secondary school students of 21 nations will work in their respective na- tional contests which now are under way. In addition to M. Marraud, those who interested themselves partlcularly[ in this donation by France were Deputy | Join Lambert, a highly influential mem- ber of the Chamber from Paris, and Count Plerre de Viel Castel, a leader in French thought and one of the most enthusiastic advocates of the closest possible co-operation between France | and the United States.
