INTREPID EXPLORER
 REPORTS A FAILURE

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Joseph F. Bernard, explorer and former resi- dent of Los Angeles, is returning from the North American channel. according to word just received here, after an unsuccessful effort for three years to force his way from the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean, north of the American continent. Bernard has twice defied the ice fields in ten-ton schooner, the Teddy Bear, accompanied by only one man. On his first trip in 1908 he went to the Siberian coast and Twas absent for nearly five years. His assistant died on this voyage and the explorer sailed his boat to the ice fields alone.
 In 1916 he again sailed north in the Teddy Bear, this time in the hope of drifting from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Recently David II. Hurley, a friend of Bernard here, received work that the Teddy Bear had been sighted by natives near Banksland and that Bernard was
 once again headed south, apparently
 unable to negotiate the passage be- tween the two oceans.

WORLD LANGUAGE.

English would undoubtedly be the most suitable world language, in the opinion of Professor Carnoy, of Louvain university, Belgium. He made this statement in the form of a reply to the question addressed by the Northern Peace society to prominent linguists In various coun- tries as to which language would be best adapted to universal use. After declaring in favor ot English, M. Carnoy wrote:
 "The German and French lan- guages have lost their place through the war. The English language is a hospitable one. being a find of com promise between the Latin and Ger manic tongues also it is simple and is spoken by most progressive na- tlons of the world, and has one of the most beautiful lteratures of modern times"

GERMANS GOING
 ID ARGENTINA ID
 MAKE NEW START

BUENOS AIRES.-Every steam ship arriving here from Ltin ports of Europe and from Holland is loaded with immigrants coming here to settle. Most of those on the Dutch ships are Germans. They are attracted by the fact that Ar gentina is prosperous. unscathed by war, and belief that it gives prom. ise to rapid development.
 A great increase in the foreign population of the Argentine is ex- pected owing to this immigration. Already nearly one-half of the pop ulation of Buenos Aires is foreign born, and a majority of these have failed to become citizens, although only two years residence is re- quired Many have long been resi- dents of Argentina and are large property owners.
 The influx of new immigrants has prompted a proposal by Dr. Juan Carlos Garay, professor of law in the University of Buenos Aires, to propose enactment of law making naturalizatiPgs obligatory without re- nunciation of citizenship in the country of birth. Professor Garay hopes in that way to solve the problem presented by failure of so many foreign-born persons to be- come citizens and take part in the affairs and politics of the country. He admits that this is revolution ary doctrine, but contends that for Argentina its advantages would out weigh the disadvantages.
