Their first destination is Guayaquil, Ecuador, where they will be joined by two Ecun- dorian scientists. The group then will proceed by mountain railway to Riobamba, whence they will travel by motor truck to Hacienda Leila, Patate, in the Upper Andes.

This is the last point of civil ization the party will contact be fore trekking through isolated regions. The trip through hitherto unexplored, unmapped territory will be made by male, on foot, by canoe and raft.

Indian Friendship Sought Loch sail before sailing that the main purpose of the expedition is to establish friendly relation with the Saabel Indians, an

"No museam in the world," he declared, "has any ethnological specimens of the Ssabelas. They are a fierce and shy tribe, known as the 'phantom people' by the fow whites who have been near their territory, and called the nuka' or 'wild men by neighbour- ing tribes."

Other Explorers Murdered "Ne white man has ever pene- trated the Ssabela country and come out alive. Ours is the first. exploration party on record to set In 1927 a small out for this area.

Loch added, however, that he is confident he and the other mem- bers of the expedition will be able to win the confidence and friend ship of the Sabelas.

"It will be a long job," he said. "We may remain in the interior for ten months or a year. After

Takes Gift Machetes The explorer showed visitors the "calling cards" which he intends to use is "means of introduction. to the Ssabelas. These were hun- dreds of inachetes, made in Con- necticut.

"I hope the Indians will accept them as tokens of friendship." he said. "It would be pretty bed i they turned out to be boomerangs."

The Princess-her real name is Princess Hermine Caroline- fell in love last year with young Herr George Martin Wunderlich. her mother's secretary.

Her mother approved of the match, and the engaged couple spent happy days at Doorn, the ex-Kaiser's Dutch home.

Suddenly, however, Princess Hermine, the ex-Kaiser's wife. changed her mind and ordered her daughter to break off the engagement.

"Princess Carmo," forbidden to see any more of the man she loved, retaliated by escaping from Doorn and taking a room in a small boarding house in

Berlin.

Her mother followed her, and from her headquarters in the old Imperial Palace in the Unter den Linden ordered her daughter to return to her. The Princess obeyed. For a time she lived with her mother in the palace and spent her days. in long solitary walks through the Berlin parks, accompanied by or black Scotch- terrier.
