AMERICAN WOMAN WITH EXPLORERS Going Into Country of Famous| _ | air manoeuvers over London have Swanitian People Moscow, Aug. 17 (UP)—A young American Miss Lucille Brenham, is taking part in one of the most unusual woman, scientific expedi- tions now in progress in the Soviet union. She is accompanying a group of 10 Soviet explorers and scholars into the mountain abode of the ancient and mysterious Swanitian people, Miss Brenham arrived here re- cently with a delegation of Ameri- can educators headed by Prof. John Dewey, of Columbia university. She is secretary of the American section of the Soviet society for cultural re- lations with foreign countries. After the dispersal of the American mi slon, she remained to participate in the Caucasian adventure. Swanitia, the subject of consider- able research in the past, is still a magnet for curious explorers. It is two days distance on horseback from Tiflis. Its people are reputed to be the purest descendants of the original crusaders. Pursued by the Mohammedans, they found them- selves in a fertile valley surrounded by snow-capped Caucasian moun- tains and decided to seftle there. In the intervening centuries they are said to have retaingd not only their Christianity, but much of the western European culture of the crusading period. Visitors have re- ported that much of the ancient ar- mor {s still available in local house- holds and that the speech, dress and general customs are remarkably reminiscent of the time of the cru- saders. 10 FLY BYRD'S PLANE on Monday.

It will be devastation, an- nihilation—nothing less."” The liberal leader said that the | whole thing showed “that pacts are not the slighest use unless yon tackle disarmament. It is useless to have pacts as long as nations are perfecting the machinery of de- struction. It is bound to end soon- er or later in a smash. Of all the armaments that should be cut down, armament of the air is the most ! urgent.” NEW ROUTE T0 EUROPE | Great Canadian Northland Seems | Destined to Be Part of Acrial | Pathway.
