 Land Appears in Many Spots

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The Arc tic Ocean is warming up. Iceberss' are becoming scarcer and the seals are finding the water too hot.
 The above three facts are accord ing to a report to the Department of Commerce from Consul lift, at Ser gen, Norway.
 Consul lift reports that fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all de- clare and agree on the point there is a radical change in climatic condi- tions in the Arctic.
 Unheard of temperatures have pre- vailed in the Arctic zone and ex- pIoration expeditions report scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees, 29 minutes.
 Soundings to depth of 3,10o met CTS showed the Gulf Stream still very warm.
 Great masses of ice have been re- placed by moraines of earth and stones at many points.
 We'll known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
 There are few seals and no white fish being found in the Eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smeIts, never before known to have ventured north, are being en- countered.

The smugglers have d thoroughly organ ized business, but use high powered motor boats 10 bring the goods from the storage ships anchored outside Norwegian waters. Submarine chds- CTS obtained from the German navy are ideal for the work of the snug glers. These boats are equipped with radio and smoke screen appara- tus. They are in constant wireless communication with the shore, ard are thus able to choose the right moment for dash to the beach
 The most serious handicap the goy- ernment has to contend with is the coast population itself, which CO., operates in more than one way with the rum-runners.
 A patrol steamer equipped with two guns has been put into opera ton by the revenue officers, but the speedy boats of the smugglers ara out of reach before damage can be done to them.
 At the recent annual meeting O. the organization of revenue officials resolution was passed saying it was impossible to stop rum-runninS in Norway. even if the officials were on duty day and night and the gov ernment appropriated 20 times as much money for the work as is now available.

Harding Won't Interfere.

The President has turned a deaf
ear to all such p~leadings. He has re-
peatedly pointed to the promise of the
Republican platform of 1920, the
promise he made in his speech of ac-
ceptance and the argument he put
forth during his campaign, that the
legislative branch of the government
must be restored to its rightful place
in the scheme of government. At the
end of 40 days, President Harding
seems as determined as he was on the
day he issued the call for this con-
gress to come together in April, 1921,
to refrain from debating to the legis-
lative branch of the government.
There has been no break between
the Republican President and the Re
publican congress. Even the talk that
the President will veto bonus legisla-
ton, if the congress shall enact 1t,
does not appear to stir up the legisla-
tors to any appreciate degree, and
the President himself does not seem
to be taking to heart the refusal of
the legislators to become specially in
terested In his ship subsidy program.

country is correctly interpreted here,
