Attempt to Reach Mission in
Northernmost Alaska
Again Fails.
REACH WITHIN 6s MILES
Or. Marquis Brings Back Pitiful Tales
Of the Havoc Wrought by lnfiu-
enza-Whoie Villages Are
Wiped Out

Newport.-Turned back by an i'm
penetrable ice-field within 60 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.
DR.. Marquis left New York June 23
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 its 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 1t was forced to turn back.
The supplies for Point Barrow were un-
loaded ut Point Hope, $50 miles south
of that town. From here II is expected
that sledges will be able to carry some
of them to the needy people at Point
Barrow.
Last year.: says DIR. Marquis, "the
Bear was able to get within 25 miles
Of Point Barrow, but the steady winds
this year had forced the ice masses
down farther south than they had been
for years.
Massive fields of ice We're reached
when we were at latitude TOh degrees,
Captain p. ii. Uberroth. U. S. N. In
charge of the Bear, declared the Ice
was the worst known since 1926"
DIR. Marquis went to Alaska to see
about the appeal from the people there
for the erection of a hospital at Point
Barrow and also to study the oppor-
tunities for Presbyterian mission and
school work generally in Alaska, par
ticularly since the Influenza epidemic

this point DIR. 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.
DR.. Marquis on his return trip gave
special study to the conditions as left
by the influenza epidemic. AS result
he brings back with him pitiful stories
Of the terrible ravages wrought by
this epidemic among the Eskimos.
In Nome alone, says DR.. Marquis,
over 80 per cent of the Eskimo popula-
tion was wiped out almost overnight.
and in other sections Of the country
whole villages of igloos were swept
away. In one town of 800 only thirteen
adults were left alive, and small VII
lagos Of twenty igloos or so with all
inhabitants frozen stiff. In one case
one little girl and a baby were found
alive in n village. This child had Kept
herself from freezing to death by re-
naming wrapped up in bed with the
baby beside her. The condensed milk
which sustained her life she also took
to bed with her. There had been no
fire in the villages for days and the
temperature was so degrees below
zero.
According to DR.. Marquis. the Eskl-
mos showed practically no resistance
to Influenza and went down almost
without fight. Among the foreigners
the mortality was about the same as
in similar communities in the United
States.

GERMAN RUIN SEEN
IN COAL SHORTAGE

BERLIN. Oct. 23.-All in Germany.
including the striking miners, are
pretty well convinced that unless
some relief in the coal situation is
forthcoming the nation will be
thrown into economic ruin. And relief
does not seem to be forthcoming.
Strikes. inspired by communist prop
agandists, continue.
The railroads and the Berlin gas
works are on the point of closing
down. The Prussian railroads at this
moment have only enough coal to
operate for a few more days. The
Berlin gasworks reports scanty
supply on hand. Other cities are in
the same predicament. Physicians
predict thousands of deaths from
pneumonia. due to lack of coal, dur
ing the winter.
Berlin street cars and subways may
cease running. Several large indus
trial plants already have closed down
or are working half time The entire
coal supply of one plant was seized
yesterday and turned over TO the gas
works to give Berlin housewives an
other day of grace. The lid will be
probably clamped tight on all cafes
and theaters.
There is no bunker coal for fishing
steamers. That means no sea food
and soon there will be no trains to
transport what little there is. There
is no coal for the sugar industry. The
beets must be used as cattle feed or
rot in the fields, and. incidentally, the
German people must get along with
out sugar. There is no coal for the
cement industry, and under the peace
terms Germany is obliged to make
heavy deliveries of cement to the en-
tente. There is little prospect, there
fore, of Germany delivering 10000 900
tons Of coal annually to the entente
which Is less than one-half of the
original demand specified in the Yer
sailles treaty, leaders declare.
In the face of this situation the
German coal miners demand a six
hour day with eight hours pay and
quit their jobs because their demands
are not fulfilled. The railroad labor
ers, recently granted a large wage
increase, are threatening a new strike
because the government has promised
a small subsidy to the long-underpaid
clerical force without Offering a sim
liar subsidy to the already well-paid
section and shop hands.

RED CROSS GIRL
GOARDSHUGES SUM

ALEXANDROPOL Armenia, Oct. %.
Miss Ruth Stuart, formerly of the
Children's Hospital. Boston. and the
sloane Hospital. New York. but now a
member of the American Red Cross.
has arrived here from Tif1is, after
travelling three days and nights In a
box car, with bag containing 1,000,-
900 rubles for the. use of the Ameri-
can Hospital and orphanage here.
In the Transcaucasus, which Ii
without police, money is usually
brought from Tiflis by a corporal's
guard. but as funds were urgently re-
quired and no guards were available,
the bank decided to intrust the money
to the good sense of the American
nurse. She left without soldier con-

At the train left Tifiis, the British
authorities attached a box car, fur
nished with a camp-bed and provi-
sions, and the nurse was handed a
sack containing a bushel of the tri-
republic notes. AS soon as the train

ORCHESTRALEADER
HAS N0.EASY TASK

Now that all the big orchestras In
the country are either making their
initial appearances of the winter sea-
son or working feverishly over their
fnal rehearsals, let II be candidly
acknowledged that despite the grow
ing appreciation of symphonic music
among all classes of the people, audi
ences in general still have very little
idea of the mechanics involved In
good concert production. Take the
matter of the conductor, for instance.
Few outside of trained musicians
realize that he is one of the biggest
factors in the success of a program,
and even these few can seldom say
just why.
To the average man and woman the
isolated gentleman with the baton
appears a mere figurehead. To be
sure, he occupies a prominent posi-
ton physically, but what exactly does
he contribute musically to the total
effect, and why do the critics usually
give him more space than all the
other players together? His manner
isms register, of course. We are
quick to notice his gestures, and, in
tact, we think a certain amount of
waving of arms Is necessary to what
otherwise doesn't seem a very hard
task.
Musicians. however, know that the
conductors lot Is not an easy one.
At rehearsals he puts in hours and
hours of the hardest kind of work,
nine-tenths of his work, indeed. being
done there, behind the scenes. To
whip a great ensemble into Shape, to
have IL interpret according to his own
conception the subtlest thoughts en-
bodied in the music. to bring out of
what would naturally be an uninter-
esting and possibly discordant sound
mass, the finest blends and shadings
in tone and color-this is more like a
giant undertaking than snap job"
Obviously none of IL can be done at
public performances before an audi
ence. Obviously, too, the conductor
can manage to appear bland and
smiling as he wields his stick and
accepts the applause OF the crowd.
Besides having a thorough knowl-
edge of music, the successful con-
ductor must be a master of men, one
who can direct and work harmonious
ly with conflicting temperaments
other qualifications are a strong beat
and a certain amount of keenness to
catch the eye of a player watching for
the signal to begin. The conductor
mus. also be able to submerge his own
personality to the extent OF bringing
out OF the music before him what
the composer intended and not what
he himself might prefer.
