Attempt Being Made
To Sail New Passage
To Atlantic Ocean

, Vancouver, B. c., Oct 17.-Cap-
tain Joe Bernard, a daring trader Of
Nome, Alaska, is spending about five
years working his way eastward in
his boat, the Teddy Bear. from the
Boring Sea through the northeast
passage to the Atlantic ocean,.
Reports came from Alaska ONE
time ago that Bernard was endeav-
oring to navigate the northeast pas
sage. but no details were given.
Viljalmur Stefansson, the Canadian
Arctic explorer. or his return here
recently from the north, confirmed
the reports and said heathought Ber-
nard would reach the Atlantic safely,
as he was a good navigator and was
travelling in fairly we'll known waters.
Bernard has been out Of touch with
civilization for about two years and,
according to Stefansson, probably
will not appear in the Atlantic until
1921. The trader left Alaska's far
northeastern outposts in 1916 and
planned to make the trip in five
years.
If Bernard succeeds. he will be one
of the very few people who have ever
negotiated the northeast passage.
The latest to come through the icy
channel was Road Amundsen, who
negotiated the passage in 1906! Stef-

ansson planned to make the trip but
the failure of a boat to meet him
after he had completed the worst
part Of the trip on foot caused him
to change his plans.
Bernard worked along the north
ern Canadian coast with some Of
S~tefansson's party in 1916, the ex-
plorer said. He soon left the explor-
ers, however, and pressed on into the
barren white waters to the east. The
next heard from him may be when
he turns up at some far northern
Atlantic port.

HOW COLORED PEOPLE MAY
HELP IN WAR WORK.
Editorial. The Washington Bee.)

Editorial, The Washington Bee.)
When MIR. Emmett J. Scott was ap
pointed to be a special assistant to
the Secretary of Wal in matters re.
lating to our Colored people as a fac.
tor in the present war, The Bee COM
mended the appointment and warmly
approved the selection. Secretary
Bakers wisdom in making the ap.
pointment is already more than
demonstrated.
There are two thoughts that stand
out prominently in this connection.
One is the gratitude of a large seq.
pent of u population to Mr.. Baker
for the liberality and courage in him
that made the appointment possible;
the other is the satisfaction of the
COlored race in possessing a man of
Mr.. SCOTS character, tact, adapta-
bility and capacity.
Another thought is: What can the
Colored people do to help Mr.. Baker
and Mr.. Scott to make the work a
success? ON answer is: Do not
ask a multiplicity of embarrassing
questions. Rtfrain from all adverse
criticism. Offer constructive sugges-
lions, calculated to be useful to the
country. Cooperate in every reason
able way that Mr.. Scott may indicate.
1t is not necessary hat all of us
at such a time should know all the
reasons for all proposed measures and
steps. At such a time we must all be,
if not actual soldiers, soldiers at heart.
The spirit of true soldiers is the spirit
of the daring Six Hundred who rode
into the jaws of death at Balaklava:
Ours not to reason why:
Ours but to do and die.
