TELL MYSTERY OF MT. KATMAI
Seattle, Aug. 19. In possesion of
much new information about the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and
the crater of Mount Katmai on the
Alaska peninsula, Rev. Bernard Hub
bard, geology professor at Santa
Clara university, and Roderick Chis
holm, former football star, were on
their way home to San Jose, Cal., to
day. They arrived here Sunday.
The explorers climbed to the sum
mit of Mount Katmai and looked 3,
000 feet down the crater walls to a
lake about three miles in diameter.
Great fields of snow detached them
selves from the rim and slid down
into the water at intervals, Father
Hubbard said.
Streamers of yellow sulphur shot
out from beneath the surface of the
lake, evidence that the volcano was
not entirely inactive.
Using picks and ropes they de
scended the wall to the surface of
the lake. A crescent-shaped isle,
found several years ago, had disap
peared. The. floor of the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes is firm enough for
airplaneu to land upon. Father Hub
bard declared.
.Motion picture films and photo
graphs were brought back to the
explorent.

Williamstown, Mass. Dr.- An
dre Siegfried, who has already re
vealed American life to the French
in his justly popular book, "America
Comes of Age," sought to lift the
curtain cn Borne of the mysteries of
French politics in his second lecture
before the members of the Institute
of Politics.
French governments may fall bo
fast that prime ministers crowd each
other on the way in and out, but
the Republic is in no particular dan
ger, Dr. Siegiriea explained, oecause
"the political heart of the French
is situated L?ft, but the pocket of the
French (and every one of them has
a pocket) is situated on the right."
S French politics are concentrated
about the discussion of to use Dr.
Siegfried's word "principles." Major
disputes arise over such "principles
as whether Joan of Arc belongs to the
Republic Party or not, or as what
names should be assigned to certain
streets.
After .the Steam Blows Off
After the steam blows off there is
nothing to be concerned about, he
said, because everybody goes quietlj'
and peacefully to a cafe and nothing
is changed.
Dr. Siefried remarked further that
because most French people desore
to be considered progressive nobody
will call himself a conservative, and
consequently French politics i3 ap
parently radical, but basically conservative.
"It is in a sense that as a proprie
tor the Frenchman will stubbornly
oppose any form of social revolution
such as the Russian revolution," he
explained.
"Of course, he may speak of revo
lution but he does not want it. You
may meet in the south of France
people calling themselves revolu
tionaries. Socialists " or even Com
munists who are comfortable pro
prietors of land and who would never
think that revolution means that
they should be deprived of their own
private property.
Nation Is for "Small People"
"It is easy to say who gives the
tone to French political life; not the
ruling classes, obviously, .whatever
may be their culture. In the polit-
cal field the Republic belongs to the
small people, and they mean, indeed.
that the Republic should belong to
them. ,
"The political idea of the-Republic
s to maintain the right of everybody
to assert himself, outside of the rich
and the powerful an aim which is
rather social than material and which
very clearly describes the spirit of
the present regime.
"As a democracy obviously is ia
pired by the will to maintain the
genius of the race, the French Nation
fels that she lives by individualism,
and has a profourd and probably
sound instinct which teaches her that
Bhe should do nothing which might
risk or Impair individualism." t ;
In a phase then, as Dr.- Siegfried
himself put it, the French people" are
extremist in their idealism, but at
the same time, "They have' a lire
taste for order."
Elair Atholl, Scotland Ambassa
dor Dawes, on arriving here late
Monday night, told newspaper men
that he had no statement to make
regarding his talk at Lossimouth

It was assumed that the purpose
of their meeting was to continue
their conversations on ways and
means of na.val disarmament by the
powers. Arriving from London on

Mr. Pieper stated that last week
about 1,0 00 bushels from across the
line reached the Gretna elevators.
The reason, he said, is that United
States wheat pays only 12 cents duty,
"walle we pay 42 cents to export

"As their prices are 24 cents be
