The craft was disabled by the

No boats were able to approach the

Rich Field of Research.

During the winter Of 192l-22,
attempts win be made to explore
the coast Of Baffin Land and the
following summer an effort will be
made to penetrate the interior
where, according to Eskimo tales,
there exists one of the richest and
most alluring fields OF research in
the frozen north. The island IS
said to have great mineral deposits
and TO possess high mountains and
beautiful lakes which have never
been seen by white men.
The region is believed to be an
immense breeding ground for wa
ter fowl, whose nesting habits will
be the subject of study, while the
program of the scientists Of the ex-
pedition also calls for field work
in zoology, botany, meteorology
and terrestrial magnetism. Special
observations will be taken of the,
magnetic pole which was located
first by James Ross in 1880 on the
further side of the Boothia penin-
sula, not far from MacMillan's
proposed winter camp.
An attempt will also be made to

the event of a serious mishap to

treat by dog sledge to Fort
Churchill, a trading post at the
foot of Hudson bay, and thence

Macmillan was born in Prov
Mass, November 10,
1874, the son of a Cape Cod sea
captain. He was graduated from
Bowdoin college in 1898 and took
up postgraduate work at Harvard
in 1902. Before becoming an
explorer he was a teacher and pub
lie school principal. In addition to
accompanying Peary on his last
famous trip north, he was MEM

NJ MILAN SAILS
ON EXPLORATION
TRIP To ARCTIC
viii Make An Attempt to
Map Baffin Land; Coast.
viii Be Explored and the
Interior Penetrated.
(By The Associated Press.)

Wiscasset, Me-, July l6.-Donald
B. Macmillan and six adventurer
followers sailed down the Sleeps
cot river today, bound for Baffin
Land. They were cheered by 1000
friends and admirers. including
Governor Baxter. the explorers
classmate at Bowdoin college, as
the little schooner Bowdoin left
the wharf.
An attempt to map Baffin Land,
the vast Arctic island southwest of
Greenland, whose 1900 miles Of
uneXplored western coast line is as
much of a mystery today as when
the English navigator, William
Baffin, announced it's discovery in
1916, is the main objective OF the
Donald B. Macmillan expedition.
The tiny 115-ton schooner Bow
doin, which carries the party
north was built at East Boothbay,
Me.
She was named for MacMillan's
alma mater, has auxiliary power
and embodies all the essentials for
resisting terrific ice packs. The
crew consists of six men. The ves-
sci is of the Gloucester fisherman
knockabout type, sheathed with
ironwood, 81 feet long, with a
draught Of Q 1-2 feet. Crude oil
engines capable of developing six
ty horse power are included in her
equipment, as we'll as 1000 gallons
of fuel oil and 500 gallons of kero-
sene. The Bowdoin also carries
stores and provisions sufficient to
last her crew two years.
The head of the expedition was
Peary's chief lieutenant on the
latters successful dash to the
North pole in 1909. He has made
eight voyages into the Arctic re-
gions. According to MacMillan's
plans, he intends to reach Baffin
Land about August &c and estab-
lish camp south Of the entrance
to the dangerous Fury and Hecla
Strait, where the ships of Cap
tains Parry and Lyon, seekers Of
the northwest passage, were
blocked century ago. The loca-
ton is 100 miles north of the Arc
tic circle and 700 miles south of
Etah, Greenland. 1t is not far
from the point where MacMillan's
Crocker Land expedition passed
the four winters of 1913-14-15 and
16. On that occasion the expedi-
tion was once reported lost and two
relief expeditions were sent out
for it but Macmillan finally re-
turned. He announced that Crock
er Land was not "land," as be-
lieved possible by Peary, but an
ice mirage.

The Fanatics.

Some OF the newspapers are issuing long
and loud walls of fear lest prohibition be dis
credited by its fanatically foolish advocates.
1t Is not denied that we have prohibitionists
who approach the fanatical or lunatic fringes
of the temperance movement But there is an
equally large and vociferous assemblage of
people in the lunatic fringe on the opposite
side OF the question. Consider in this con-
nection this question: Establish place for
the sale of beer or any other form of intoxi-
cants for medical purposes This is now the
demand OF the personal liberty crowd What
! proportion of the liquor dispensed in such a
place would be honestly intended for medicinal
+ use2 There is not an intelligent person in this
Z country who does not know that the moment
{ you let down the bars on this liquor business
that moment a whole brood of evil follows.
Recently the sheriff made a raid on the drug
stores of Des Moines holding liquor permits.
He had taken precautions to get the goods on
the proprietors before he staged his raid. He
3 secured enough liquor to take care of the hon
I est medicinal needs of Des Moines for 20 years.
( He was able to prove that the liquor was be-
ing sold in violation of the law. Is there any
1 wonder in view of the record of the liquor
people that we have few fanatics among the
prohibitionists?
Frankly, we believe majority of the tenn
perance people would not object to honest and
fair medicinal use of liquor If its use could be
honestly confined to this purpose. They are
just fearful lest in providing for such use the
people will lose what they have fairly gained
in this direction The liquor people have them
selves to blame for this status of distrust of
their purpose in the minds of the public They
are asking for the privilege of dispensing
liquor for medicine This is just camoufage
The real purpose behind this request is to open
the way for the sale of booze as beverage
When the liquor people honestly confne
sales for medicinal use to the limits intended
in the law they will find almost no fanatical
objections to this custom. The fanatics will
continue their steadfast opposition, however,
to all forms of law violation And they cannot
be dissuaded by calling them names.
