NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1925. PLANS FOR ARCTIC TRIP JOINED MacMillan's Program Is Told at Length Washington, June 1T W The pri miry object of the MacMlllan-Navy j expedition sailing from Boston today U to make a hydrosraphle survey by I airplane of the last sreat unknown region of the northern hemisphere, j that territory lying between the North Pole and Alaska and covering 1,00ft, onn square miles. Scarcely less In importance will bo the exploration of little known re gion such as Kllesmere Island. Grant Land, naff in Island and sec tions of Labrador, as well as the an cient Norse settlements on the west ern edge of Greenland. In addition plant and animnl life, nieteoroglcal conditions, and other scientific ques tions of the fur north will be studied. Due to the high mobility given by airplanes, however, the expedition Intends to be alwnt lltt'e more than three months, as It. Is estimat ed that an airplane in one clay can accomplish aa much in exploration a could bs done by dog sled In more than a month. If all goes well the party will be In full retreat to the south by early fall, In time to avoid the heavy Ice movement which by October 1 will to a large extent block the passage, of vessels around northwest Greenland. MacMillan Is Veteran. The expedition is headed by Port aid B. MacMillan. veteran of many Arctic explorations, and Is sponsored b? the National Geographio society, hleh has contributed to Its support both in money and personnel, while the navy will be a participant through personnel assigned to It on active duty and airplane and other supplies. Heading the navy contingent is Lieutenant CommandPr Richard E, Byrd, of Winchester, Ya, who has selected the navy personnel and avi ation equipment and will be respon sible to the secretary of the navy, although working in cooperation with the main expedition. With htm are two officers and four enlisted men of the navy while at their dis posal are three airplaues of the am phibian type which can maneuver from theand. ice, and water. Little difficulty in their operation la ex- 1 pected, as MacMillan believes theor6erve meteorological conditions, minimum temperatures encountered j The officers will fly the airplanes will not be excessive. ;and the enlisted men will assist in The expedition after touching at Wiscasset, Me., and then at .Sydney, N. S., for coal and other supplies, will go direct to Etah, Greenland, where the main base will be estab- j lished. From there the airplanes will go to Cape Hubbard on the northern point of Axel Heiberg land, I to establish an advance flying base. Two ships arc being used. The Bowdolu, a veteran Of other Arctic j trips with MacMillan, accommodates I MacMillan, scientists and other per- j sonnel of the main expedition. The 1 Peary is conveying the three air- j planes and the navy section of the expedition. But two of the airplanes will be used actively in exploration, the third being held at Etah with the vessels as a reserve for possi ble emergency. tvonting by Airplanes The plan calls for two airplanes to scout northwest from Axel Hei berg land In exploring the unknow n region and In looking for land which, possibly of continental mass. in believed to lie between Alaska and the North Pole. Unless land is discovered, however, the entire un known region will not be cdvered because of the limitation of the air craft operations. At least 100,000 square miles will be surveyed by having the planes shoot out In three different lines for a distance of about 600 miles. The two will travel together at all times and if land is discovered the advance flying base will be advanced to it and the scouting operations continued from the new point. In such an event it. la conceivable that the entire un known area may be surveyed. At lrtst three separate flights will ' be conducted from Cape Hubbard, and if land Is not discovered the expedition will then retrace its steps, making side trips over Ellesmere fslnnd.

No effort to reach the North MacMillan Pole is contemplated, being contented With ivun'a effort In that respect and the Geogruphlo society and the navy being Interested primarily In the solentltlc questions awaiting study In the Arctic. To that end a complete equipment s.nd scientific personnel hat been brought together. The ulrplanes win carry thorough mapping apparatus by which the re gions may be photographed from the air, and an as sortment of motion and still cameras. Arrangements liac also been made for obtaining color photographs of the region") to be visited, as well as their plant, unl mal and fish life. Over 30 Men All told .Including the crens of the two vessels, there are over 80 men In the expedition. MacMillan I l assisted by John Relnartz of ticuth Manchester. Conn., fund E. '. Mc Donald of Chicago, president of the Radio Broadcasters' leapue of Amer ica, si rtiilo experts, white among the scientists are Dr. Walter N. Koelz, an Ichthyologist, and Lieu tenant Benjamin H. Rigga of the Coast and Geodetic survey, an expert on topography and tides. The expert In charge of color photography is Jacob J. Gayer, while In general charge of photog raphy Is Maynard Owen Williams, both of whom have been assigned by the Geographic society. Com manding the Peary is Captain George F. Steele of Roxbury, Mass,, while assistants to MacMillan in navigat ing the Rowdoin are Ralph Robin son of Merrimac, Mass.. and John Jaynes of SomeniMe, Mass. The navy section In addition to Commander Byrd consists of Lieu tenant M. A. Schur of Marshfield. Ore.; Chief Boatswain Earle E. Rebcr of Chicago, Aviation Pilots Nels T. Porenson and Andrew C. Nold of Washington, D. C, and Floyd E. Bennett of Warrenburgh, N. V., and Chief Aerogranher Al- u -rl rrancis or san JJtego, who will uie it urn ana Keep the plants in condition. Except for the wings, on of the planes is to be carried assembled on the deck of the Peary to Etah, but the other two have been broken down and will not bo assembled until Etah is reached. Radio Equipment A complete radio equipment will be carried, so that constant com munication may be maintained with civilization. Both the Peary and the Bowdoin have high-powered stiiid ard navy sets, while one of the two active planes will have a rtandard navy set and the other the short wave apparatus recently developed. The plan Is to send in dally reports , , 1 of he progress of the expedition .o hoth the navy department and th Geographic society for announce ment to the press. Melief that, land exists in the un known region between the North Pole and Alaska Is predicted upon traditions of Eskimo tribe,"-, which tell of some of their people years ago going out to such land never to return; upon tidal observations which Inditcte s. great obstruction of land or jre n that region and upon miraees seen from Ae Hei berg land by both Peary and Mac Millan. If such, land is found the Ameri can flag will be raited and it will be claimed for the United states. The purely scientific phases nf the expedition, however, present an flt tracthe field. There are many spe cks of Arctic fish known to the ex plorer that have never been studied by scientists and for that purpose eolor photography will be of invalu able assistance. If land Is discov ered it is felt certain that interest ing animal species will also be found there, for the land will hq"e r-een cut off from the North Arnerieari , - 'continent for centuries. That anl- ' h" fmd there K r- jgarded as a certainty, Inasmuch a.s I animal life has been found on! land so far diseovered the Arctic. Insofar as plant life is con- rerned.

PASTELS AND PORTRAITS Rumaging about the house the other day we cams unexpectedly pn an old, and our only, copy of 'Tlnia," a rather quaint and oliarm Ing little mafaxlne of poetry edited monthly by Idella Purnell In Mexl. co. We appropriated this copy some time ago, after being captured heart and aoul by a number of the contri butions Included .though we have not aeen It very often for sale. There was not a single contribu tion not worth the reading, and iev eral were of aufficlent caliber to prompt us to read them again and again, and then run oft and ahow them to our friends. To attempt to make a profitable commercial enter prise of a magazine devoted exclu sively to poetry, and especially poetry of the better sort, has always been regarded as sheer lunacy, but after the track biased by "Poetry: A Magazine cf Verse " and several others a bit lesser knon, had once been successfully trodden, there were a number ready to follow In the now huetllng footsteps of the once-heai-tant and faltering pioneer. And 'Talms" was one of these. The copy we have In our possession Is Volume 1, Number 2, and is dated "Summer 19:3." Hence "Palms" is yet an Infant but such a charming beaming child. And lt possibilities, It would seem, are unlimited. America Is at last coming out of the literary doldruma and is seeking the best and pureAt In literature, not the haphazard which so much pleased the generation now dying out. Merit and especially literary merit today, more than at any other time, seems drstlned to attain that high estate which It should by right of eminent domain be accorded. In the copy of "Palms" we have been discussing, there Is one little number especially which we con sidered as fine an effort a we re member, having read In any of to day's periodicals. It is entitled "A Girl's Mind," and is from the pen of one Warren Gilbert, It is particular ly deft In its portrayal of this most "forbidden place." and is very swift, aound and complete in reaching an unexpected climax in the last two lines. . A Girl's .Mind. (Warren Gilbert in Palms.) The door swung back a little space. I entered the forbidden place. I toptoed In so eilently She did not hear a sound from me. O quiet cool sequestered room!

Opposition to the United States being .drawn Into the situation tn China was ex pressed yesterday by Chairman Borah of the aenale foreign relation committee, In a cablegram to an American citizen In the troubled zone. 8c No Rson "I aee no reason why the United States should be drawn Into any controversy or conflict with Chinese authorities or the Chinese people," the Cablegram aald.

The indicted science teacher, whose action in explaining the theory of evolution to this class "has created world wide interest, has made formal application to (lie school board for the position, it was announced. Walter White, superin tendent of school and chief prose cutor In the case, appeared surprised at the application but declined to cotnment. Among outstanding developments In the case yesterday was th'e state ment by Governor Austin Peay. that he would not go to Dayton to testify "unless required by compulsory pro cess."

One addition to the list of those who will defend Scope was added with the announcement at New York that the American ' civil llberile union had accepted the services of Charles H, Strong, secretary of the bar association of New York city.
