He claimed that he held the world record for traveling by foot in "unexplored, uncharted portions of Africa, South and Central America and Mexico". In 1912 Millward declared that the jungles of Guatemala were the richest in the world with their hardwoods, rubber and chicle. In 1913, during the Mexican Revolution, William Randolph Hearst misused a Millward image of children playing in the ocean in British Honduras for propaganda. It was portrayed as "children [that] were driven into the water, forced to hold their hands above their heads, and shot in the back." In 1934 a group of explorers proposed a "geographic theater" to be located in Manhattan devoted to "programs combining motion pictures, lantern slides, lectures and native music and dancing". Millward was to be the program director. He was a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and he was a lifetime corresponding member of the New York Zoological Society and the American Museum of Natural History. He was the American Vice-Consul at Tampico, Mexico at the time this article was published.Ernest Lloyd Harris was an American diplomat who was stations in Siberia and was best known for activities relating to the Russian Civil War in Siberia, the Czechoslovak Legion, political and economic conditions in Siberia, and American policy in Siberia.
