require more than a week, providing one
fight could be made every day.
If the dash to the Pole were started
from the southern. coast of Spitzbergen
It would require a fight OF some 800
miles The round trip would, therefore,
be l 500 miles. II is not likely that Great
Britain has any machines Of sufficient
size to carry fuel and equipment for such
a trip without making a stop. But this
would not be necessary. There are less
than two hundred miles Of open water
between Spitzbergen and the ice pack
which surrounds the Pole It would be
simple matter 10 establish fuel stations
at intervals on the ice foes, and It would
not be difficult to locate these points
from the air.
The flying distance to the pole Is ap,
proximately the same for both men, with
a slight advantage in favor Of Captain
Bartlett The American expedition will
travel by boat to Etah on the western
cost of Greenland, near Smith Sound.
From there small scouting planes will be
sent to Cape Columbia, the nOrthernmost
point of Grant Land, where base will be
established and a large supply of fuel
stored
The trip from Etah to Cape Columbia,
via the air. is less than $50 miles.
From Cape Columbia to the Pole is 490
miles.
After the base has been set up at
Columbia, Captain Bartlett will make his
flight in a large flying boat, which is now
being constructed. Thus starting from
Etah he will have about the same dis

large plane as we'll as the small planes
will be put into service and the impor-
tant work of the expedition will be done.
Results of inestimabIe value to the
United States and to science will surely
be obtained from this expedition. There
is no doubt whatever that this expedition
can survey, explore and photograph the
unexplored parts Of the Arctic and Crtab-
lish the existence or non-existence Of land
or lands in that region. The upper. air
and the bottom of the ocean basin will
be explored.
"The North Pole has been discovered
of course by Admiral Peary, but the
major part of the work remains to be
done.
Both Admiral Peary and Captain
Bartlett want TO do a great deal of scien-
tifc research in the polar basin, which
covers one million square miles, and they
will have laboratory on board the flying
boat where the flora and fauna from the
ocean bottom will be kept until the ma
chine returns to its base. Little or no
data has been obtained from the polar
basin No meteorological surveys have
been made"
The plan of reaching "Farthest
North by means of aeroplanes was con-
ceived by Real Admiral Robert E. Peary.
and ever since he returned from his sue
cessful trip to the pole he has been de-
voting a great deal of his time and
thought to the subject. He proposed the
plan over two years ago to the Aero

aeroplane fight to the North Pole
"a project being financed by the
Aero Club Of America-has so excited
the interest Of famous explorers and avi-
stors, both here and abroad, that com
petitor has been drawn into the field in
the person of Captain Salisbury Jones, of
the British Northern Exploration Com
pany.
- With the United States represented by
Captain Bartlett, and Great Britain by
Jones, the air voyage to the pole de-
velops into a race of international in
'terest, with a distinct sporting aspect and
with special appeal to the national pride
Of the two respective countries
Making the first descent from the air
at this coveted point, appeared in De-
cember certain of achievement by Cap
tain Bartlett, thus assuring to the United
States the double honor OF discovery by
sea and from the air.
But which of these two intrepid ex-
Epiorers will be the first to divide honors
with Admiral Robert E. Peary is now
matter Of greatest uncertainty. As yet
reports from Great Britain on this sub
1ect are meagre. Outside Of the fact that
Jones will hy from Spitzbergen there has
been no other information divulged. No
doubt secrecy is being maintained, with
the idea that he who is forewarned is
forearmed.
- The British Northern Exploration Com
pany will doubtless make use Of the big
Handley-Page type Of machine for the
flight The first successful trip from Eng
land to India was recently accomplished
in one Of these machines. Announcement
of this fact was made officially by the
Air Ministry on January IS.
Just how great the cruising radius of
: this aeroplane may be is not known with
any degree Of certainty, but in any event
it need not exceed fifteen hours for polar
work Spitzbergen lies about $50 miles
of the Norwegian coast, so, crediting one
of these craft with a speed Of from 80 to
100 miles an hour, It may readily be seen
that a siEeable surplus Of gasoline could
be transported and stored on the island.
II might take some time to accumulate
an apprecisble reserve, since il would
necessitate frequent round trips from the
Norwegian mainland, but 1t would hardly

Club Of America and this organization
has fostered the idea and appointed a
committee TO investigate the scheme
thoroughly. These men were: Rear
Admiral Peary. Alan r. Hawley. Henry
A. Wise Wood, Henry WoodhOuse, Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske John Hays
Hammond, Rear Admiral William ~
Little, Professor Charles L. Poor. Colonel
E. Lester Jones, U. S. A. Major Cushman
A. Rice, U. g. A, and Augustus Post
The project will be known as the Roose-
welt memorial expedition. which the Off.
GERS Of the club explain is fitting that this
tribute be paid the former President, as
it was he who gave Rear-Admiral Peary
leave Of absence to head the expedition
which discovered the pole. Colonel
Roosevelt was also one Of the first pat
rons of aerOnautics. Any land that is dis
covered will be named Roosevelt Land"
The cost of the expedition, which will
be about S250,OOO. will be betrayed by the
club, and this amount has already been
subscribed by various members.
At the present writing no information
can be had as to the type of machine, its
size horsepower, or the number OF men
who will accompany Captain Bartlett. 1t
is said. however. that flying boat will
be used instead Of a land machine. Il
has been determined that this type will
afford greater utility since during the
months when flying conditions are favor
able there Is a great amount Of open
water and landing can be made with
design.

scout planes and dog sledges we could
thoroughly cover this whole section
lying within the boundaries Of the tri-
angle"
Further details are supplied by Alan
r. Hawley, president Of the Aero Club
of America in the following statement:
1T is most amazing to find that for
period Of the year in the Arctic regions
the weather is not as cold as It Is in New
York during the months of October and
November, and that the plan to fly across
the top Of the earth would be a COM
paratively easy thing to do.
There are six weeks of fair weather in
July and August when even in the Polar
regions 1t is seldom lower than sixty de-
grees above zero. The plans are to have
a ship go to Etah in June, when the ice
is sufficiently broken up TO permit the
vessel to cross to Melville Bay. The ships
would carry a large seaplane for the
fight across the top of the earth and for
exploration of the unexplored polar
regions, as we'll as smaller planes for
scouting fights.
Immediately upon arriving at Etah,
base would be established and, while
waiting for the ice to break up further
north to permit the ship to go as far
north as Cape Columbia, the small planes
would fly to Cape Columbia and estab-
lish q base there for the large plane

July, when the weather conditions are
best for flying in the polar regions, the

tanee to travel as Jones, who will start
from Spitzbergen.
Captain Bartlett will have the same ad.
vantages in setting up fuel stations on
he ice pack, and because of his planning
to take along smaller auxiliary planes for
this purpose he will be able to expedite
the work and save the wear and tear on
the larger machine
The project Of the Aero Club Of Amer.
lea, however is no mere spectacular un.
dertaking, with no other end in view than
the mere reaching of the Pole by the air
route. After the Pole is touched the ma.
chine will not be turned back, but will
keep straight on across the Arctic basin
10 Cape Chelyuskin on the Siberian coast,
total distance Of about 1d00 miles from
Cape Columbia The Bartlett party will
no doubt remain in the polar regions for
several ears carrying on scientific inves-
tigations.
Commenting on his plans, Captain
Bartlett said:
We " dAN " map OuJ IAab 1CAA4LOIy
from the Arctic map which is marked
'unexpIored' We ought TO take three
years to make a thorough fob Of 1t and
It can't be done in much less than two.
There Is tremendous amount OF terri
tory in this region of which we know
little except what we hear Of from
whalers and a great vast expanse of
which we know nothing at all With
machines and money and men we can
remain in this region and find out just
what is there.
I'VE shall set up base at Cape Col
umbia, then fly across the pole to Cape
Chelyuskin and later establish a third
at Wrangel Island near the Bering
Straits. With these three bases a tn
angie would be formed which would in.
clude most of the unexplored region.
