Seattle, Nash.-An American ex-
plorer, Harold Noice, formerly mem
her of Stefnnsson's party, is working
his way eastward on foot along the
route of the northern rim of the con-
tinent. according to word received
here. He expects to reach the Hud-
son Bay country and civilization some
time next summer.
Storker Storkerson, formerly Sec
ond in command of the Stefansson
party, who arrived here recently from
the far Moth, said that Noice, ac-
companied only by Eskimos, is pro-
ceeding slowly and mapping portions
of the coast lines as he goes. A
stretch of the coast line of Victoria
Land. heretofore unmapped, IS being
charted by him.
Noice may visit the interior of Vic
toria Land, which, according to all
reports, has never been explored by
white men. All explorers, traders
and trappeGs who have touched Vic
toria Land have journeyed along its
shores only. Stefansson found the
tribe of blond Eskimos" in the Vic
toria Land country.
Noice has no ship and but few sup
plies. He depends almost entirely

Washington, D. C.-American edu-
Gators are launching a movement to
raise funds to rebuild the famous IL
brary of the University of Louyain,
DESTROYED by the German invade. S
early in the war. The city of Louvain'
the "Oxford of the low countries" IS
described in the following bulletin
from the Washington headquarters OF
the National Geographic society:
"Not only the University of Louvaln,
but the city is an object lesson IN
Belgium and France by the German
army. Early in 1915 a group of uni
versity professors of other countries
drew up a petition expressing strong
Indignation and adherence at the
wholesale destruction of ancient build
ings that has marked the invasion of
Belgium and France by the Ger
man army" and protesting in the
strongest terms against the continu-
ance of so barbarous and reckless a
policy.
German Professors Make Reply.
"To this a group of German univer-
sity professors, among them Gerhart
Hauptmann, Max Reinhardt and Ru-
dolph Eucken, replied that it was not
true that their troops had treated Bel
GUM brutally but that. anyway, we
must decidedly refuse to buy Ger
man defeat at the cost of saving a
work of art
"If Louvaln has contributed little
to scientific achievement 1t had ire
religious thought. 1t has been said
that the city's chief product was the
ology. But Germany's contempt for
that kind of culture is reflected un-

Joseph, brother of Marie Antoinette,

conquering it, the seed of independence
thus planted by the historic university
bloomed again a half century later.

1.-THE object of each of our wars
has been, in the last analysis, to pre-

the majority of people In this country
home means little more than a dwell

What is worse in the situation is that
the percentage of these rent payers is
growing.
