To Survey North
 Pole By ArpIane
Expedition to Start Next June, With Capt. R. A. Bartlett in Command.

New York, Dec. 22.-An expedition to be led by Captain Robert A. Bartlett, noted explorer will be sent to the Polar regions next June to sur vey the North Pole by airplane, ac- cording to an announcement here to- night by the Aero club of America. The plan it was said, was conceived by Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, dis coyerer of the pole.
 The purpose of this expedition which, it was said, would be the most com pletely equipped ever sent out, viii be to explore, survey and photograph the uneXplored parts of the Arctic regions and establish the exestence or non existence of iand or lands in that re- gion." It also is intended. according to the announcement, ito explore the upper air and the bottom of the polar basin"
 Results of inestimable value to the United States and to science will suEc- ly be obtained from this expedition, 2 said the announcements, which added l that the club would. raise $25O,OOO to finance the trip.
 The North Pole has been discover
 ed, but the major part of the work still remains to be done. Both Admiral Peary and Captain Bartlett want to
 do a great deal of scientific research
 in the Polar basin, of which over 1000, l 000 square mics remain unexplored i and they. would want to have a ; laboratory on the ship where the flora | and fauna from the ocean bottom will i be kept until the return of the expedi- i ton. Little or no data has been ob- tained from the bottom of the Polar i basin and no meteorological surveys have been made in the Polar region l Asserting that with the co-or@.
 ton of the leading geographical and scientific bodies assured" it is planned ] to have the expedition leave the i United States next June, the an nouncement continued:
 There are six weeks of fair weather i in July and August, when, even in the
 Polar regions, it is seldom lower thar 50 degrees above zero. The plans art 1 to have a ship go to Etah about 60t miles from the North Pole, in June when the ice is sufficiently broken tt permit the ship to cross Melville bay The ship would carry large seaplan'
 or land airplane for the final f1igh
 across the top of the earth and for ex
 ploration of the unexplored Polar re zion. as well as smaller planes for tn
 scouting flights"

AS Good as Yours

Recently there arrived at one Of our
Atlantic ports an American who re-
Gently managed TO get out of Russia.
He tells an amusing story illustrative
OF the chaos and the lack of respect
for government which recently have
come into existence In Russia.
The Kerensky government, II seems,
at one time put out an issue Of forty
ruble notes. They were about the size
OF large postage stamp, and quite
artistic In design. Almost immediate
ly they were copied by a band of coun-
terfeiters, who In an ecstasy of frank
contempt for the government, printed
across the face OF their notes:
ours are Just as good as yours"
As an example Of Slavic humor, II
must be admitted that this has Its
merits. And as things are turning out.
the words Of the counterfeiters were
apparently as true as they were anus
ing.
