WORLD ORATORS TO BE JUDGED BY SIX DISTINGUISHED MEN Diplomacy., Education, Science and Adven~ ture, in Different Parts of Audience, to Pass on Forensic Battle. Diplomacy, education, science and adventure will sit in judgment at the Fourth International Oratorical Con- test finals in Constitution Hall next Sat- urday night to determine the world’s champion secondary - school speech~ maker. Six men, students of the five languages which will be used in the forensic meet and prominent in their respective fields of endeavor, have ac- cepted the responsibility of judging the efforts of the nine champlonship con- tenders. As announced last night by Randolph Leigh, director general of the contest, they are: Dr. Jan Herman van Royen, Minister from the Netherlands, chairman; Dr. Richard Henry Wilson, head of the romance language department at the University of Virginia; Dr. Jules Bols, member of the faculty of L'Ecole de Psychologie, Paris, and commander of the French Legion of Honor; Dr. Paul G. Glels, head of the department of German_at Catholic University; Dr. Adam Boving, ish scholar and senior entomol Bureau of Entomology, and Comdr, J. B. de Marbols, professor of languages at Upper Canada College, Toronto. In their determination of the world champion, the six judges will be seated apart in different sections of the audi- torium. Each man will write a separate ballot, scaling the speakers according to his judgment of their respective ability. ‘The ballots then will be col- lected and compiled by contest officials. If a contestant receives -first place on four of the six ballots, he will be pro- claimed champion without further ado. Provision for Consultation, However, if no contender receives first fllce rating on a majority of the bal- ts, the judges will retire to a closed chamber for consultation under the chairmanship of Dr. Van Royer. In executive session, the six judges will consider only the three speakers who .| are indicated as favorites on the bal- lots. At the conclusion of their delib- erations the board of judges will write their verdict, which in turn will be handed to the man who will announce the results from the stage. ‘With English, French, German, Span- ish and Danish scheduled to be whip- ped across the footlights in forensic charges toward the world champion- ship in high school oratory, each of the candidates for membership on the 2t of the Uniied States e of judges was ired first of be thoroughly familiar with each of these languages.

In 1913 he was granted a year's leave of absence to pursue scientific work with the United States Bureau of Entomology. At the end of that year he had become so im- pressed with what he terms “the ex- cellent spirit and working conditions of this famous American institution” that h2 remained here permanently. Since 1924 he has been one of the vice presi- dents of the Washington Academy of Sclences. He has been honored by the Klng of Denmark with the golden cross of the Order of Dannebrog. Comdr. de Marbois, who now is pro- D.- C., OCTOBER 20, 1929—PART ONE. fessor of languages at the Upper I ada College at Toronto, has had a career which would delight the heart of any youth. Speaking 14 langusges. fluently and numerous native dialects learned at first hand in the far corners of the earth, Comdr. de Marbols is one of the foremost ts on the Amer- ican continent. His experiences have carried him from halis of learning to the high seas and to the jungle. He has been midshipman in the Royal British Navy, from which he was invalided fol- lowing an attack of fever in China. He served his apprenticeship on British sailing vessels and was wrecked off Cape Horn where he spent several months among the Patagonian Indians before he was rescued by a missionary. He subsequently engaged in survey work for the Japanese government for which he was decorated with the Order of the Rising Sun. After his experi- ences in the Orient he competed in the first “all-around England” airplane flight. He crashed in his attempt, nar- rowly escaping with his life. Upon his recovery he joined the British secret service which carried him all over the world. Enlisting in the British Army at the outbreak of the World War, he was transferred to the navy. His linguistic abilities made him an invaluable officer aboard the cruiser Donegal, which was ordered to halt vessels of all nationali- ties for examination upon the seas. Not a_ vessel was encountered with whose officers DeMarbois was unable to con- verse fluently. Fought Against Austrians. He subsequently was wounded while leading a contingent of mixed troops to the relief of Admiral Trowbridge in en- gagements against the Austrians, Short- ly afterward he was captured while on a secret mission in enemy territory and sentenced to death. He escaped and was sent to Petrograd and served against the reds in the Russion revolu- tion until, with a price upon his head, he was forced to leave that country. As he escaped, however, he took with him the daughter of a Russian general, who was herself a talented sculptress, who now is his wife. For his work in Russia he was decorated with the Order of St. Anne and was made an officer of St. Stanislas. At the close of the war he was ap- pointed assistant commissioner to Northern Nigeria, but there he was stricken with fever and ordered to live in a colder climate. Consequently he undertook farming in Canada, but his linguistic abilities soon were discovered and today he is teaching modern lan- guages at the Upper Canada College. German Widely Read. Dr. Gleis, the German department head at Catholic University here, was rl.dunud from the Universities of Ber- , Munich, Leipzig and Munster in Germany. He has become intimately acquainted with the old and new cul- ture and with the languages of the leading nations of Europe through his studies, writings and teachings in com- parative literature. In Europe he in- vestigated old Spanish, Dutch, French and Scandinavian unprinted documents of literary history in the British Mu- seum in London and in the national li- braries in Madrid, Paris, Munich, Edin- burgh and Heldelberg. ‘These international scholars will de- REPORTER'S DEATH BLAMED T0 SAILOR Ship’s Second Officer Is In- dicted for Killing of News- paper Man-Adventurer. i By the Associated Press.
