It fs better, the president con tinned, to establish such a rela tion or agreement than to "resign ourselves to continued attempts to establish it by rival construction programs" on both sides of the Atlantic , "We need hot disguise the fact." Mr. Hoover continued, "that (aside from the capital ship lim itations under the Washington treaty) competitive building has been in progress on both siaea since the great war. an we have arrived onlv at disparity, not par ity. It creates burdensome ex penditure, a constant stream of suspicion, ill-will and misunder standings. , Moreover by constant expansion of naval strength we cannot fall to stimulate fear and Ill-will throughout the rest of the world toward both of us, and thus Aefeat the very purpose which you have-so well expressed as being; the object of the legion, when you say, 'the Legion stands uniformal ly for movements which will make permanent peace more certain and assure belter understanding be tween nations.'

Charles A. Lind bergh and the manner In which he f onnd It were revealed today by of ficials of Pan-American airways, which operates mail and passen ger lines between North and Somth 'America and with which Col Lind bergh Is connected. - It was in February of this year, that Col. Lindbergh piloted the' first Pan-American plane over the route from itfiami to Panama. On the way south he was running on schedule, but on the way back there was ncr hurry and Col. Lind bergh decided' to go on a sight seeing jaunt. Turning Inland at Belire, Brit ish Honduras, he flew over Inter ior regions uf the Mexican pro vince of Quintana Roo through which white man hsd hever pene trated. In thlsdense jnngle conn try the Maya Indians lived and built their cities long before Christ, but since that time only scattered colonies of Indians have inhabitated the district, believed by some to be descendants of the ancient Mayas. Col. Lindbergh headed north west toward Merida, Yucatan, and while he was yet many miles away his attention was caught by what seemed to be two emerald eyes staring up at him out of t hi tangle of the Jungle bush. His cariosity aroused, he swooped row to In vestigate. The country he was passing over is shown in white on the maps, uncharted land archeolog lsts know must be filled , with rich treasures of past glories but so inaccessible that though em ployes of the Carnegie institute have Ions been pushing toward it through the jungle they; -have, never reached it. As Col. Lindbergh dropped low he beheld the ruins of a city some eight mile's1 in diameter, crumpled away, devoured by the centuries, eroded but not yet entirely erased by time. The jungle brush had matted the city over, but out of this tangled verdure there still rose numerous small pyramids and one stately pile of stone some 250 feet high holding aloft the ruins pf an ancient Maya temple. with me in endeavoring to estab lish and cooperate with others in an atmosphere of good will and sincerity within which to find such a solution. Keltogg Peace Pact Is RefeiredTTo "We and other nations; have entered into a solemn covenant that we shall not resort to war as an Instrument of national policy, that we shall seek to settle dis putes by pacific means and; if we are honest in this undertaking it follows that every effort should be made to establish confidence in our intentions and to hold our preparedness solely withjnr" the area of efficient defense. I am confident these policies' are conso nant with the manjr'declarations of the AmerIcarr"Legion and the sentiment of the American peo ple."

Lindbergh, accompanied on his runaway": flight only by a Pan-American official and Harry Buskey, one of the company radio operators, circled low over the lost city. There was no sign of any human life and the colonel and his companions realised with no lack of awe that they were perhaps "the first persons to gaze apont since before the beginning of the Chris tian era. The Lindbergh plane was four lrours late at Havana that day, bat although the colonel's unusual tardiness had caused grave con cern and had been reported over most of the world, no explanation was 'made at the time. Recently, it-was learned that Col. Lindbergh was spending: some time taking aerial pictures of 'Indian ruins tn Arizona and New Mexico, and from this it developed that his interest in the use of the airplane tor archeological purposes dated back to his discovery 'of a lost Maya Tillage. c , Then officials of the Pan-American company considered that the whole story might as well be told and released the details of the flying colonel's first explora tory flight over rich archeological terrain, and In sv doing explained why he was "missing" . for four hours last February. Col. Lind bergh had no camera with him on that flight through Quintana Roo and so he took no pictures at that thSe, but it was said today that he has expressed a desire to return there In the future and on this oc casion it is believed he will fake full equipment for bringing out pictures of his discoveVy.

Representatives of the gas com pany tiald that the securing of a franchise every time, a pipe line needed to be laid would cause considerable bother.

Above the camp a half mile the battle field, otherwise an in offensive meadow, was the scene of a wild battle to get the flag of the Reds, high on the rocks of Battle Axe, or the banner of the opponents, nailed to a tree in the heavy woods on the opposite side. Between the ' mountain and the forested hill was the half mile of meadow, a No Man's Land that saw a fierce battle as tfiose of France. All in fun, of course, but lots of action. For Instance, it was worth the price of two box seats to see Dwight Adams tackle one of his opponents. When Ivan White tried to assault the fortress of the Reds, no end of prisoners were taken.

Indoor Ball Teams Fonnd Indoor baseball leagues have been organized. Jimmy Sehon's nine 'came through with some fast ball for a thousand per cent. The All Stars, chosen out of the best from the other, teams, . finally gave their only defeat. Home runs have been surprisingly few. Needham staged a nice catch of what would have been a homer; "Doc" Hoblitt from Silverton. did a 100-yard dash to take a long one clear out of position. The batting is good and the pitching up to a par. The usual umpire squabble arises; and even "Bob" Boardman has to watch the de cisions he makes. With the exception of several bad cases of Pitch-Ou-the-Hands, the camp Is hilariously healthy. r . Portland, Dixon Parry returned home wiB them.
