GEORGETOWN PROFESSOR TELLS NEW STORY OF DE SOTO'S TREK Treats Explorer From AnglesT Comparatively Untouched | by Other Writers. l ! | Describes Spaniard as One of Greatest Personalities in Early U. S. History. AR I | Hernado de Soto has been brought back to life in all of his adventurous | glory and the trials and troubles of his daring trek across what now is Dixie have been related to the United States by Theodore Maynard, professor of Eng- lish at the School of Foreign Service, | Georgetown University, in his most re- S(‘m. book, “De Soto and the Conquista- | ores.” Prof. Maynard has treated De Soto from two angles left comparatively un- touched by the other writers on the ad- | ventures of the Spaniards in their ex- ploration of the New World. | First, he tells primarily the epic story | of the long journey that resulted in the discovery of the Mississippl. Next, he paints the conquistadores in a more fa- vorable light than historians, insisting that their pious desire to convert the Indians to Christianity was as responsi- | bll"dfm‘ their journeys as the lust for| gold. ‘The book, which is the Aprii choice of the Catholic Book Club of America, brings De Soto to the New World in 1519, when he was not quite 20 vears | old, carries him through the jungles of Panama and into Peru with Pizarro. In Peru the horses of the explorers were shod with silver, more plentiful than iron, while their riders looted the treas- | ure horde of the Incan Emperor, Ata- hualpa. Returned a Millionaire. De Soto, Prof. Maynard discloses, wasn't responsible for Atahualpa and| 600 of his warriors after they had pro- | vided the ransom of gold enough to fill | a room 32 feet by 17 to a depth of more than six feet. However, De Soto re-| turned to Spain a millionaire with his portion of the affalr, In his description of the almost un- believable two-vear trek through what | now is the Southern United States, Prof. | Maynard pictured De Soto in his true| role as one of the greatest personnalities | in the early history of the United States. However, one draws the inference from what is told, Prof. Maynard's story to the contrary, that he hardly could be accepted as a Christian humanitarian, with as many as 500 Indiars in chains at_times. Six_hundred men, half of them on horseback, most of them in heavy armor, made the journey that revealed landed in West The Spaniards lured by tales of gold to the North West. But the o = THEODORE MAYNARD. only treasure of note that was found consisted of fresh-water pearls, which | the conquistador lost when one of his own men set fire to the Indian village | in which they were stored. Describes Suffering. A raged band of Spaniards came upon the great river of which they had heard rumors, on May 21, 1541, Prof. Maynard explains in the book, which continues here with a description of the suffering of the explorers and tl.eir jubilation at the discovery of stores of corn the day before finding the Mississippl. The book closes with the story of De Soto's death and his provision for his followers. The book truly can be considered as an epic historical novel, portraying the hardships and privation of the Spanish explorers, as well as repeating the stories of their cruelties and excesses. Prof. Maynard, who came first to the United States in 1909, remaining until 1911, is an Englishman. He was born in India in 1890, receiving his educa- tion in India and England. Among his close friends have been some of the leading literary lights of the early part of the twentieth century, notable among them being Alice Mendel. ‘Ten years ago he returned to the United ‘States, accepting a place as a | teacher at the Dominican College, San | Rafael, Calif., where he spent the period | from 1921 to 1925. In 1925 he became a member of the faculty at 8t. John's, Brooklyn. Later he was at Fordham College, Fordham, N. Y. coming to Georgetown University two years ago. Mrs. Maynard, the professor and their five children live at 3214 Wisconsin avenue. Among other works of Prof. Maynard is “Exile and Other Poems,” one of the most recent of his works, which he considers the best. Others include “Laughs and Whifts of Song.” “Drums of Defeat,” “Our Best Poets,” “The Book on Modern Catholic Verse.” and “The Book on Modern Catholic Prose.” | WHISKY AUTO FOUND.

Princeton University was defeated by American University in debate last night at Hurst Hall on the local cam- pus by a unanimous decision of the three judges. It was the third vic- tory over Princeton for the American University Varsity, both debates last year having gone to the debaters from the Capital. ‘The question last night was “Re- solved, That the ?ollcy of providing a college of liberal arts education to all high school students who seek it is sound.” The American University team. which took the negative, and had previously this year won a victory from another school on the other side | Ui of the argument, consisted of Bruce Aitchison, James Swan and Arthur Murphy. ‘The Princeton debaters were J.
