British Seaplane Observer Tells
of Day Of Terror.
Forced by @0esd" Engine to oesoen6sS
He and His Pilot Ward Off Dead
Iy Floating Machines With
Their Bare Hands.

A British seaplane observer de-
scribes an adventure that befell him,
during flight over the North sea-
Suddenly. when the plane had Travelled
through fog and haze 10 a height OF
$500 feet above the water the en-
zine STONED dead. The observer and
his pilot were compelled to descend
quickly, and when their plane struck
the water they had no idea where they
were. Through calculations they mail
ly decided that they must be at least
80 miles from the shores of England.
What was worse, il was gradually
borne in upon them that they were
perilousIy near, If not actually In, an
extensive mine field.
They could not signal, for their wire
less apparatus was out of commission.
The heat was terrible and the sea was
dead calm. At least dozen times as
the day wore on the men heard the
roar of engines, but the sound always
receded into the distance again, and
there seemed to be no hope of rescue.
Finally the wind rose and shifted the
haze little and high up in the north
west they saw dropping toward them
n bfrdlike machine. Nearer and near
err il came. and presently 1t dropped
on fhe water beside them. II was
British seaplane from their own base.
The Bilar Of the rescue machine
eteered within - yards of taem, add
his observer heaved overheard hige
vacuum flask. Then, without stopping
the engine. thcy droned along Che sur
face and tilted iote the air again.
When The men turaed - the flask they
found thai ii had aeated out # reach
into The midst Of a school Of iellyfsh.
Then the long. hungry impatient
wait began AGAIN. The hours seemed
to drag more heaViy than before. As
the tide went down dark spheroidai
objects began to hob up by twas to
the surface Through their glasses the
men could see scores more Of them in
the distance. They were deadly con
tact minesi The nearest pair we're
only half a cables length away and
the seaplane was drifting toward them
on the ebblng tide
During the next four hours the
death traps gave the men terribly
anxious time. for there were hundreds
of them. and it was impossible as the
plane drifted along to avoid them.
Once or twice they actually had to
ward off the mines with their bare
hands to keep them from knocking
against the machine.
Shortly after six o'clock in the eve
ming the men-burned almost black by
the sun, with parched throats and
swollen tongues-heard the sound of
a propeller chugging away at no very
greet distance. The throbbing grew
louder and at intervals the observer
fired three pistol shots. Then out of
the haze plowed a trim little motor
launch. She crept alongside, lowered
her dinghy and took the men off. Then
she made fast line to the seaplane
and took it in tow. 1t was long after
midnight when the launch reached the
English shore Wide World Maya
zine.

NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 4, 1917.

We are hundred millions of Am ercans. There are only fifty four mil hon of Japanese. And they are sep arated from Us by several thousand miles o. salt water. Nevertheless, we think and worry about them and with cause. We know that they envy our fertile lands of California, that they resent the closing of our ports against Asiatics, including themselves. Ne know that they would come here and conquer us if they could. They are in our minds q great deal, and our thoughts concern ing, them is represented in our big naval appropriations
 How would it be if, instead of hay ing fifty-four millions of Japanese, we had one hundred and sixty mil lions of Japanese right beside us?
 Suppose that in Canada or in Mex leo there lived one hundred and six ty million Japanese, powerful, obe- dient To their rulers, and suppose that tha: race was increasing at the rate If five ol six million a year?
 Then, indC-d, we should worry ard with cauec.
 If yau ca imagine how We would feel in tbe United States with Jap anese nation of one hundred and sixty millions to the north of us, or to the south of us in Mexico, you can realize how the Germans feel in re- gard to Russia, and why it is that Germany absolutely demands the es- tahlishment of a buffer state" be- tween eastern Germany and the great Russian power
 Russia is at the door Of Germany. When war was declared the Russians had only to march across an imag- mary line on to German soil-just as the Mexicans have only 70 cross a line to be on United States soil.
 Almost as soon as the war began Prussia was invaded, towns, villages and farms destroyed.
 This helps you to realize that while Germany offers to restore Belgian territory and French territory con quered in this war. she demands :ho right to take territory from Russia 10 make and restore Polish king dom between Germany and Russia
 This kingdom, a so-called buffer state," is the protection that Ger many demands from what it believes 70 be the Russian menace.
 Ten years from now the population of Russia will be two hundred and twenty five millions at least. When Emperor Williams latest grandson is ot age Russia will have a popula- ton sufficient to overwhelm western Europe-unless western Europe is well defended.
 That must be borne in mind by

| reasonably satisfied, but the lure is
 not so easily disposed of. A more leisurely trip to the north pole is proposed. Admiral Pearys exploit
 was too much of a touch go af- fair. It is now proposed to drift across
 the north pole in the ice. Capt. Roald Amundsen is building a ship in Nor way for this purpose. and Il ship is
 also to be sent from America in the same advantage. Amundsen is 70 start from some island of the Spitz- bergen group anu drift north across , the pole. Capt. Robert A. Bratlett who accompanied Peary in his dash
 to the pole, will start from the Am erican coast and attempt the polar drift from this direction. The idea is
 to let the ships freeze in the polar ice and drift with the pack. Provis- ion is to be made of course, for a long stay.
 Stefansson, now in the north, has proved his ability 10 subsist on the
 country. He is the first explorer
 who has been able to stay in the
 north indefinitely without provisions
 for regular supplies from civilization.
 It appears that Bartlett and Amund-
 sen have been impressed with this
 possibility, and are to place some re-
 hance on their ability 10 provide food from polar life They are to provis- ion their ships amply, perhaps for three or four years, but if it becomes necessary they feel confident of an ability ;o live off the country ia the Stefansson fashion.
 Peary and Bartlett have been ar ranging the details of the expedition. while Amundsen prepares his ship, l and the plans are well along toward l completion If these explorers win l through we shall probably have, in <, the next four or five yeasr, intimate l details of north pole life from men who have passed a winter or two in l its frgid enVironmnet.
