The Seaforth News, 1929-08-15, Page 3Colored Lakes Attract Visitors, Lying Deep at' the Bottom of Worn -Out Volcanos, Their Vivid Colors Add to the Charms of Picturesue Isle of Flores in Dutch East hi- dies, Amsterdam—There are within the Dutch east Indies many regions the boauty of which bas been described in glowing words by the pioneers of western civilization in the govern- ment or of natural science, Quite a number of these, areas, however, will not be accessible to the tourist for a long time to Dome on account of the almost insurmountable difficulties they present t0 modern tourism. ftStill there are many places in the archipelago, it is stated in authorita ative quarters, out,: of the great beaten track, but nevertheless easily accessible, where those who are will- ing to forego some of the pleasures and comforts of the ultramodern hotel will find more than compensa- tion :in, the charm of exploring little. known beauty spots and in the oppor- tunity of contract with natives that have not yet exchanged the products of their age-old art for those of the modern factory. One of these places Is Flores, an Island of the Leaser Sunda group, east of Java. Flores has not as yet attracted many tourists. As rule, most visitors to the archipelagopass it by, Yet there is en Flores a road —a wonderful road, when the engi- neering difficulties -surrounding its construction are taken into consid- eration -that crosses the island three times and traverses it from one end to the other. At one point this road is high up in the mountains, a lit- tle farther on it drops to sea level; for several miles it is hewn out of the solid rock, in another it passes through treacherous swamps. It con- tinues through fertile upland valleys, and it skirts the barren foothills of the active volcano Goeneeng Xeo. It clings precariously to a ledge high above the roaring breakers of the open sea and 1l, approaches to within a fewmiles the serene calmness of the Golf Woetoe crater lakes. This string of three 'mountain lakes that lie at the . bottom of old vol- canos far' below their only approach, the ancient crater rim, forms one of the most bizarie spectacles on the island. Not because of the bleak, rugged surroundings, or the steep for the fact that there is only a thin wall of rock between two of the lakes, rising precipitously from their waters, but because of the mysteri- ous phenomenon that one of the three lakes reflects a deep red color, the other a light green and the third a rich blue. Equally varied as the 50erle17 through which the road passes are the people that live along its sides. At one end are the Manggarais, a trible dwelling in large community houses that hold as `many as 200 in- babitants. Then there are the Bad- jawanese in the centre and the ter- ritory of the Retie of Sikka in the eastern part of the island. In the west and 1n the south of the island are found the 'famous giant lizards species that some times reaches 13 feet in length. To prevent its ex- termination, this lizard le now specially protected by the Govern- ment. (Call el 0: .

American Policy Stated Both of the countries had the right to maintain their own railway guards on their respective lines. During these negotiations, and following them,' the bulletin recalls, the policy of the 'United States was vigorouslyexpress- ed in notes from the Secretary of State, upholding the principles of the open door and the territorial integrity of China and questioning Russia's in- terpretation of the Chinese Eastern Railway contract. "As a consequence of the World War and the Russian Revolution," the bulletin continues, "the Chinese hlastern` railway was badly disorgan- ized and the operation of the road 'was placed under the supervision of an inter -allied technical board, headed by John F. Stevens, an Amer- ican railway engineer. The bulletin says that, since the passing of Chang Tso-tin in June, 1928, "the new Nationalist Govern- ment in Nanking has assumed the dominant uolitical position in Man- churia" and that "In expelling the Russian general manager of the rail- -way and all Russian heads of va- rious departments the Nationalist Government is again asserting the influence of China, not only over the way itself, but in the Three Provinces as well."

Broadly and briefly put, his argument is that however slowly, within reason, the first quarter -mile may have been run, the time for the second is practically a constant fac- tor for eaeb runner, and that, there- fore, the time for the first quarter is all-important. In other words, if 57 seconds is appoximately a runner's "constant" for the second quarter - latter Great Britain has gone as far as lenient generosity can go.

It may be, as Mr. Gould suggests, that all coun- tries were too near the 'dangerous days of the war period in 1919 to properly appreciate Brown and Al- cock. The world was tired of heroes, in fact there were more of them than there were jobs, and in the news of the monumental proceedings at Ver- sailles which were then being pushed to a conclusion, Alecok and Brown were quickly forgotten. • Tho inferiority complex would be a fine thing if the right people had it.
