 Augusta, Ga, he says, has set a splendid example as the elec- tric city of the south; Chatta- nooga will soon rival it; Birming ham, Atlanta, Knoxville, Nash vile, Macon and Memphis are within sight of it; and the great number of cities and thriving towns which are to experience the benefits of plentiful and ec- onomical electric energy could all be supplied if this so bounti- fully distributed power source were husbanded and harnessed instead of wasted.

NEW POINT OF ATTACK.

Augusta, Ga. Jan. 10. What night be considered an entirely new point of attack on the "Sol:d South' was made today by the president elect when he put ln a good word for the warmth and ardor of Northern men, who know a good thing when they see it" in the charm and beauty of Southern women. This lighter vein of Mir. Taft's humor was given vent before what he term ed "a bouquet of bright and charming faces" the students of the TuDman Hgh School for girls.
 The charming appearance of the student body he said m pressed on him a.s an entirely new and convincing argument in favor of the separation of sexes Tor education. The speaker ad- mitted h.s point of view had changed somewhat on the ques- ton of woman suffrage s:nce when IS, he ardently advocated that doctrine n his graduation paper, because of the admiration he had for the intelligence of the girl members Of his class in Wood ward High School, Cincinnati. When the trained and intelligent women of the country wanted suffrage, he predicted they would get it, just on the very natural ground that they ai- ways get what they want.

!. The London Times gives. the, fol.
lowing particulars Of Ejnar Mikkel-
sen's plans for an expedition to
northeast Greenland for the purpose
OF discovering the depot left by My
Illus Erickson and his two compan-
ions. who persisted during the expedi-
ton Of 1907-0S.
Mr.. Mfkkelsen proposes to go to the
east coast Of Greenland with a small
vessel OF about forty-five registered
tons. somewhat Of the type of the
Gjoa. In which Capt. Amundson navi-
gated the northwest passage. The
total crew will consist of only seven
men. Mr.. Mikkelsen included. The
vessel will be fitted with motor
capable OF propelling her at the rate
OF about four miles an hour.
At the Faro Islands, which he ex-
poets to reach about July 5, he will
meet with steamer from Greenland.
which will carry his dogs. fifty in all.
He will set his course northward and
enter the ice on the east coast of
Greenland in about seventy-four or
seventy-five degrees north latitude.
Through the ice he will endeavor
to keep a northwest course to strike
the coast somewhere about Cape Bis
marck. II the ice admits he will 60
northward along the coast and place
a large depot as far north as possible,
and then return to a safe winter
harbor near Cape Bismarck.
During the winter he will make
trips in the vicinity Of his winter
quarters and lay out depots; and
when spring arrives he will start
north With six men and advance the
depots to as far as Lambert Land,
about seventy-nine and one-half de-
grees north With two men he will
push on over the ice cap to the bot
tom Of Denmark Fiord, and hugging
the north shore will proceed to Cape
Rigsdagen, about eighty-two degrees
north, where depot left by the three
men who died is supposed to be stu
ated.
II he finds the depot in this posi-
ton his quest will be practically I'm.
ished. and he will then continue as
rapidly as possible westward, through
Peary Channel. and try to discover
whether It Is a sound or a branch of
an extensive ford system. When the
provisions allowed for this work are
used up Mr.. Mikkelsen will return,
pick up the depot at Cape Rigsdagen
and go back to his ship.
In the meantime the remaining
men will have carried on work round.
about the winter quarters, and when
the ice permits the expedition will
endeavor to reach the locality visited
by the Duke Of Orleans on his recent
expedition and sound the bank which
the Duke discovered in order to find
out whether It is a bank and not the
southern extremity of an island.
When the ice begins to prevent furth-
er operations the expedition will
make its way out and return home.
Ohis is Mr.. Mikkelscn's plan In its
main features, but OF course its ac-
complishment depends on various cir.
cumstances. II these are specially
favorable the plan may be considera-
bly, extended; and there Is good rea-
SON to hope that he will be able to
solve the main geographical prob
lens remaining in that part OF Green.
