By Robert B. Hermann

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 27.-A win ter with only on white couple for companions. A diet of whale, wal rus and riendee: meat. And never a sight of the sun during the whole period.
 That is the program of Captain Roald Amundsen. south pole discov- erer, and his Norwegian flyer, Oskar Omdahl, while they are spending the coming winter at Wainwright, Alaska pending their attempted flight over the top of the earth.
 Amundsen and Onldahl plan to hop off next spring for a nonstop airplane flight over the north pole.
 This is a reconnaissance mission for Amundsen's schooner Maud, now frozen in the artic ice and well started on it's five year drift through the polar basin and across the north pole.

 It is MT. and Mrs. Cramer who will spend the winter with Amundsen and his aide Otherwise, their only companions will be some 200 EsN mos, comprising the population of the entire community of Wainwright and two adjoining villages,
 Tt won't be so bad, though" said Ward. They'll have plenty of food. The Eskimos recently killed two big whales and a number of walrusses, and buried in the ice, this food will keep indefinitely Also, there's the herd of 4000 reindeer, which the na- tives maintain.

 Ward said Amundsen is waiting until he can make the entire 17O0 mile trip in daylight-and this sea- son lasts only from May 10 to Au- gust 5.
 He can't possibly leave until June however" Ward went on, "as weath- CT conditions are so bad. Last July for instance, there was only four days when a blizzard wasn't raging. If he's lucky though he may get off by June 1.

 People are brought into life in the school. They study there and later work there. The set married there too-and then, when they die, their funerals are held in tie school"
 Ward brought back the first expla- nation that has haen advanced for Amundsen's decision to hop off from Wainwright, instead of Point Barrow, as originally planned.
 Some people think said Ward, that it was because Wainwright is on the same meridian as Spitzbergen, his destination making it possible for him to fly absolutely straight due north and then due south, strad- ding the meridian,
 The real reason, in my opinion, is the fact that flying from Wainwright will give him from 50 to 70 miles of grace from death. By taking a northeasterly course, he can follow the coast until he reaches Point Barrow-and thus have an opportun- ity to land safely if engine trouble develops carly
 If Amundsen is successful, news will be flashed immediately from Spitzbergen. But the world will not

MOSCOW UNDER MARTIAL LAW
 FOR ELECTION

Warsaw, Dec. 1s-(By A. P.J- Martial law became effective in War saw today by proclamation of the Polish cabinet.
 Captain Niewadomski, the crazed artist, who assa sassinated President Narutowicz on Saturday, has been held for trial by court nartIal.s@ At his preliminary examination yesIer- day the man declared he had acted on his own initiative in shooting the president andsthat he had no accom- plices.
 The declaration of martial law has added to the sense of security felt by the people who. with General Joseph Pilsudski established as chief of staff of the army and General Six korski as premier, await the convodation of parliament on Wednesday for. the election of a new president. One or the first acts of Sikorski in taking over the premiership was to order the arrest of several of the former soi- diers of General Haller, whose inf1u- ence in the army has been capitalized by the Nationaiists in their opposition to General Pilsudski.
 Many other persons are also in cus- tody pending a complete investigation of the assassination. Among those de- tained is Colonel Modelski, once ad- jutant to General HaIler.

LOAN OPTIMISM TAXES
 DROP IN LONDON

London, Dec. 1S-O. N. S.)- British optimism of the possibility of an American loan to assist European stability began to decline today. Newspaper took the lead in warning the people against any undue con- fidence over the possibility of an American participation in the repara- tions negotiations next month, much less a loan. The Pail Mall Gazette printed @ story under the headline:
 Cold feet in the United States fol- lows Harding's activity
 Most of the newspaper agree that the United States is losing what lit tie interest it ever had in Europe," and probably will do nothing more than make inquiries. It is felt, how ever, that American help could be 6 obtained if the European powers would show more interest in dis armament.
 Washington and New York dis patches bearing upon the possibility of American intervention in Euro pean affairs, which were given the most conspicuous display on Satur- day are now being played down." The sudden trend to pessimism evil dently arises from the warning issued at the White House in Washington any definite move.
 British newspapers, in comm enting upon the likelihood of American sistance dwell upon the commers aspects. The Chronicle, the personal organ of former Premier Lloyd George, points out that if the United States insists upon payment of the debts owing to her by Europe, she will tnjure her own trade.
