scientific bodies assured" it is plan
ned to have the expedition leave
the United States next June, the
announcement continued:
There are six weeks of fair wea-
Their in July and August when, even
in the polar regions. it is seldom
lower than 60 degrees above zero.
The plans are to have a ship 60
to Etah, about 600 miles from the
North pole, in June when the ice
is sufficiently broken to permit the
ship to cross Melville bay. The
ship would carry a large seaplane Or
land airplane for the final flight
across the top of the earth and for
exploration of the UNEMPLOYED polar
regions, as we'll as smaller planes
for the scouting flights.
Immediately upon arrival at
Etah, a base would be established
and while waiting for the ice to
break up further north to permit the
ship to go as far as Cape Columbia,
the small seaplanes would fly to
Cape Columbia and establish base
there for the large planes, which is
to be used for the flight across the
top of the world from Cape Column
bia on the American side over the
pole to Cape Chelyuskin on the
Siberian side and for exploration
over long distances.
Six Weeks for Flights.
"For the six weeks after the mid
die of July, when the weather condi-
tons are best for flying in the Polar
regions, the large plane as we'll as
the smaller planes will be put into
service and the important work of
the expedition will be done"
Asserting that only one-seventh
of the earths service has been &C
curately mapped, and two thirds
only mapped from rough sketches,
officials of the club stated that by
use of airplanes it would be posi-
Bile to do in 20 years what would
require 200 years by usual methods.
The committee which, after two
years of study, recommended that
the club finance the expedition, COM

Hawley, Henry A. Wise Wood,
Henry Woodhouse, Rear Admiral

was crushed in the ice in January,
1914, he led the II members of the
expedition to Warangel island, then
crossed over to Siberia with one
Eskimo and returned with a relief

In committing suicide by hanging
himself, using his collar for a
moose, in the Muskegon, Mich, Jail,
Saturday, Milo H. Piper, practically
admitted he was the murderer of his
former affinity, Frieda Weichman,
whose body was dug in the lonely
woods where it had been buried.
Frieda Weichman's note book,
kept during the courtship by Milo
H. Piper, came out to reveal the
dead girls romantic thoughts. The
note book, slowed away with her in
innate things, shows that she was
romantic, philosophic, and that she
had touch of humor.
One verse, possibly copied from
somewhere, evidently reflected some
closeup event in her relations with
Piper. 1t reads:
You sing a little song or two,
You have a friendly chat,
You make little candy fudge.
And then you take your hat.
You hold her hand and say Good night"
AS sweetly as you can.
Amt thata of an evening
For a great big healthy man7
Verse on Loneliness.
Another verse in the notebook #
the dead girl goes:
Lonely when you're far away.
Happy when you're near;
You are home and rest to me,
Calming every fear
Think of you at eventide,
Whom the shadows fall
Weary-longing for you, dear
Only you-thats all.
Maybe this next one shows that
in her innermost heart lurked sus-
picion that all was not we'll with
the man she was planning to marry.
Maybe she used these verses to
bolster her faith and give. her the
trust in him that she wished to have.
The verses: 49,.
We have no right to Judge a man
Until he's fairly tried.
Should we not like his company
We know the world Is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has not
The old as well as young;
Perhaps We may, for all we know,
Have fifty to their one.
Then let US all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe.
Think of the harm one word would do
To those we little know.
Remember. curses sometimes. like
Our chickens, "roost at home;
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none of our own.
Digs at Own Sex.
And then on another page the
girl, dug from the lonely grave in
the Michigan woods. wrote in the
days of her mating:
Go where you will, in land or on sea,
I'll share all yonr troubles and care,
And at night when kneel at my bedside
to pray,
I'll remember you, dear, In my prayer.
In this sh, takes a sly dig at her
sex as she reveals feminine frailty:
She ventured in the briny deep
A little while ago,
And yelled Murder! Fire! Police!-
A crab had pinched her toe.
And though at that momentous time
Her screams were plainly heard,
Yet when lobster squeezed her waist
She didn't say a word.

The president abstained from at.
tendance at church in order to make
the visit. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson and Rear Admiral
Grayson and was met at the en-
trance by the commandant and his
staff. But he made it plain that he
wished no ceremony.
Il just want to go in and visit the
boys and have chat with them" he
said.
Beginning with the first ward, the
president went down one side of the
room and Mrs. Wilson the other
stopping to chat here and thare with
the wounded and grasp hand for
moment. or say a word of cheer
and encouragement The president
himself, where it was possible, took
the hand of every man, saying: I'VE

said:

There was no cheering i'll reply,
for some of the men were in no
condition for cheering; there was no
hand clapping for most of the men
had at least one hand in surgical
appliances. But there were genuine
smiles of appreciation.
Some of the wounded were intro
duced to the president by the names
the doctors and nurses had given
them. There were Texas Red"
Tennessee Sly" and Sunny Sam"
The last named was introduced as
the sunniest boy in the hospital.
The president saw one lad who
came to the hospital Is months ago
with half his face shot away. His
story was almost too terrible to re-
peat, but the president wanted to
hear. SO the doctors told it to him.
The boy entered the hospital with
so little of his face remaining that
his eyes were all that are now
shown in the plaster cast which be-
gins his record. For a year he took
al his food through a tube. Now
by additions of one of his own ribs,
a bit of shin bone and teeth from a
soldier less fortunate and some
scraps of odds and ends, he has a
face again. Today he sat UP in
bed and was chewing gum. At a
distance of 20 feet his face looked
quite normal
