HERE'S TOWN STILL WAITING,
PERHAPS, TO HEAR OF PEACE
Irigtm in Greenland Get the NetCs hen Norwegian Ship
Thelmd .frrircs From Philadelphia

Maybe they know the war is over
maybe they don't.
1t all depends on whether a Danish
ship landed at Ivigtut during May.
But if they don't know the natives
and Danes in the little mining town of
Greenland haven't long to wait. The
Norwegian ship Thclma will make it's
annual trip the end E this week or the
beginning of next from Philadelphia
without stop and will carry with it
copies of the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
to verify tho testimony of Captain q.
Lundc that the world war is over.
The settlement will learn lot Of
other things too. about the high cost
of liyir-; in tn" United States. and
the trouble with the servant problem.

glad they are living in little town
where there is no wireless to tell them
how the rest of tho world suffers in
civilization.
All the same. they will be mighty
glad for tn" news Of the outside world
and will turn ont in a body to meet
the Thclma on its annual trip. bring
ing coal and provisions to the native
Eskimos and the Danes and carrying
away cargo of the mineral cryoltc
used in smelling aluminium and manu-

The ThClma is the property of the

"Whcn we get up there the natives
come out to meet us" says Captain
Lundc. "Thcy wear sealskin suits and
strap themselves to their canoes, like

we take along with us.
Captain Iundc has followed the sea
for sixteen years and likes this trip to
Greenland because it has all the thrills
Of adventure and peril from iCCbcrgs.
and il is short trip that lands him
and his crew of twenty two in thr cold
country before "hc snow season sets in.
The captain lives in Norway. but, as
i. L. Biorn~guHrd. manager Of the
Nordcn ship Supply Company. says.
mo Norwegian ever lives in Norway.
Suffrage Unnecessary
There is no need for woman suffrage
i'm the settlement. for the three women
only need to submit an ultimatum and
their demands are granted by the 400
men in tho town. Two of the women
are married and the third is a young
Danish school teacher who was still
single when Captain Lunde visited
Greenland last year. There are also two
Danish children. a girl and n boy. the
children Of the controll,,' Hf the Danish
government.
The trip takes several weeks in the
going and last year the ship stayed in
Ivgtut but three days unloading and
loading. This year the trip will take
n little longer. however, because the
stay will last perhaps ten days.
On the return trip the Thclma will
bring $500 tons Of cryolite. which is
found in large quantitie only at this
place. The Danes discovered they min.
cral in 1874 and the deposit at Ivigtut
is large. The Eskmos used to think it
was peculiar kind of lee because il
mrlts rapidly in rundlrlight and is
translucent. Small deposits of tho min
cral nrc found on Pixies Peak and in
the Yellowstone Park, but not in large
quantities.
No Use for Candy
No candy or anything fancy in the
way of food viii be carried by the
Thelma.
'Th"y eat plain food. :" says the cap
tain. 'That's the reason they live so
long"
But there will be great quantities of
tobacco. the smoking and chewing va
ricty, and everything under the sun in
the way of canned fruits and vegetables,
lard, salt beef. kerosene. There are
1900 tons of coal to take the long trip
in addition to the three tons of pro
visions. Magazines and papers will also
be carried to the Danes and natives.
The Thclma is supplied by the Nordcn
Ship Supply Company. and is in charge
of the brokerage firm of William f.
llagar & Co.. who have been in this
business for forty years.
