Attempt to Reach Mission in
Northernmost Alaska
Again Fails.

Or. Marquis Brings Back PitifuI Tales
OF the Havoc Wrought by lnfiu-
enza-WhoIe Villages Are
Wiped Out.

Newport.-Turned back by an i'm
penetrable ice-feld within 50 miles of
his goal, DR.. John A. Marquis, general
secretary of the board of home mis-
siOns Of the Presbyterian church of
the United States, was forced to re-
turn to New York without reaching
his destination at Point Barrow, Alas
ka, the northernmost mission in the
world operated by the Presbyterian
church.
DIR. Marquis left New York June %
and sailed from Seattle July to
Nome, where he boarded the United
States coast guard service steamer
Bear, to reach Point Barrow, but for
the second time within two years this
doughty little craft with it's 'hardy
crew was unable to buck the terrific
Ice jam of the arctic. For eight days
| the sturdy boat battled, but finally on
August 10 it was forced to turn back.
The supplies for Point Barrow were I'M
loaded at Point Hope, $50 miles south
of that town. From here it is expected
that sledges will be able to carry some
of them to the needy people at Point
Barrow.
Last year." says DR.. Marquis, "the
Bear was able to get within % miles
of Point Barrow, but the steady winds
this year had forced the ice masses
down farther south than they had beer
for years.

when we were at latitude 70h degrees

American continent, about four hours
west of Seattle.
Upon this trip the vessels coal sup
ply ran low and the Bear had to put
back from Cape Prince of Wales to
Nome for recoaling. Leaving Nome the
vessel began it's journey to Point Bar
row. kotzebue sound was entered and
stop was made at the village, where
the Society of Friends had excellent
missions, and then the Bear went
north to Kivalina, where no mission
fields are established, but which a few
missionaries visit at intervals. From
this point DR.. Marquis went to Point
Hope, which until recently was one of
the most famous whaling stations in
the arctic regions. From there the
great but futile attempt northward
was made toward Point Barrow.

Several Ways to Make Sugar.
"Analyzing food we learn that the
three chief components are sugar, fats
and protein. Until recently it was i'm
possible to manufacture sugar syn
thetically, but now we have solved the
riddle in several different ways. Iron
rust exposed to the prismatic rays of
the sun through water makes for
maldehyde, since the rays of the sun
agent, mixed with the carbon dioxide
of the air and water makes this power
full chemical. From formaldehyde GER
tain forms of sugar may be obtained.
Other ways of making sugar syn
thetically are through the employment
of ultraviolet rays radium and cleo
tricity.
part of our research work at Har-
wards botanical laboratory has been
to observe the process by which the
plant transforms the carbon diOXide
gas and water together into sugar, and
later into starch, either of which forms
can be preserved.
$50 much for obtaining sugar. Pro-
tein is composed Of amino acids. It
has been found possible in the labora-
tory to take the carbon dioxide of the
air, water and ammonia, which is also
found in the air in small quantities, to
form a simple kind of protein. Now
through the combination of sugar and
protein, both Of which have been man
ufactured in the laboratory, the neces
sary fat is obtained, with the resultant

The Great Obstacle.

which can only be manufactured a.

Dodgers in U. s.
Special Despatch 10 THE Sun.

WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Treaty obliga-
lions stand in the way of deporting for
eigrers who withdrew their first citizen
ship papers to obtain exemption from
the draft. the State Department to-day
informed the House immigration and
Committee.
Secretary Lansing in a letter to Rep
resentative johnson (wash.). chairman
of the committee, gave II as his opinion
that deportation OF these aliens would be
considered violation of treaties by sew
eral nations which remained. neutral dur
ing the war and whose nationals consti-
Lansing pointed out that these treaties
exempt Americans from compulsory mil
itary service in these foreign countries.
while the corresponding right is extended
to foreigners In the United States. Pro-
tests against the proposed legislation by
the Norwegian and Swedish Govern
ments through their embassies here were
cad by Mr.. johnson.
THE opinion of the State Department
Is that the passage of this legislation
might cause considerable embarrassment
to the United States" the Secretary
wrote. "Of course the Government OF
inc OnlIcu oSahcSS ucSpitc Nho tANoSAoos
has the right to exclude from this coun-
try foreigners inimioal to the public well
fare. but this legislation seems to me to
be imposing a penalty on those aliens
who took advantage of the rights given
them by Congress in the army bill TO OBJ
tain draft exemption by withdrawing
their first citizenship papers.
The bill provided then that these aliens
should be denied forever the right to
become American citizens. A table Of
the aliens who took advantage OF this
provision shows that nine-tenths Of them
are from neutral countries and the De-
partment, therefore, thinks It would be
unwise to enact this Legislation.
A letter to Mr.. Johnson from Louis
r. Post, Assistant Secretary Of Labor,
states that only 1.745 aliens thus lodged

number were as follows:
Sweden, 73s; Norway. +44; Holland

was 2s6. Minnesota had 273 and New
