EXPLORERS BELIEVE :. NEW LANDS EXIST
 IN FAR NORTH

Fairbanks, Alaska, March r. Storker Storkersons' exploration eX- pedition which made it home on a floating Arctic ice pack eight months, did not float west from Alaska to Si- beria, as it planned to do, but was carried far north and then back again, according to Bus Meriak, one of the party, who has arrived at Ft. Yukon, Alaska, after landing recently and journeying over a snow trail from the Arctic coast.
 Storkerson, Meriak said, found no land when the party passed over a spot north of Alaska marked Ken nan Land on Charts. The ice pack carried it's passengers almost to the 74th parallel. At the most northerly point reached, sounding exceeded 1 500 meters. This, it was thought, in dicated that new land, yet to be found and explored. lies north of Alaska in an area now described on maps as "unexplored."

"It is my opinion that there will be no league of nations; at any rate there will be no peace in, Europe because Ireland will fight and the world knows that Ireland can fight.
 "We believe we are powerful enough in America to make President Wilson enforce the principles outlined in his peace plan concerning the rights of ationS to dispose of them selves. We have pleaded and spoken gently to him long enough. The time has come for acts.

 the staid. and in some instances hypocritical citizens of a little town called Sycamore.
 When the burlesque troupe hits Sy- camore the inhabitants are highly shocked The morals committee rounds up the town constable and visits the playhouse on the opening night They see one turn in which Lucille Le Jambon, known off stage as plain Lucy Higgins, is the leading light, and then ring donw the curtain. The troupe goes broke and the min- ister of the place, an upstanding young man by the name>of David Grayling, urges Lucy to reform from her bur- lesque ways. So Lucy opens an ice cream parlor and dancing school in Sycamore. But the deacon, the hypo- crite of the village, still objects to her "contaminating influence" and decides that Sycamore must rid it's respect able self of the former burlesque lady.
 How Lucy proceeds to get 'the goods on" the deacon and show him up before the townsfolk in his true colors puts an uproariously novel finish on this comedy. Miss Kennedy is, seen to captivating advantage in the principal part, while others are Jere Austin, Walter Law and Rod La ROcque
