BOUND FOR NORTH POLE.

BOUND FOR NORTH POLE.
The auxiliary schooner Maud,
bearing the Amundsen polar ba-
sin scientific expedition, is plow-
ing its way from Seattle, Wash,
to Nome Alaska, OH the first leg
OF five year voyage through the
Arctic ice packs. Amundsen ex-
poets to board the schooner at
| Nome.
The expedition is a resumption
of the effort begun by Amundsen
in 1918, under auspices of the
Norwegian government, to drift
past the North pole with the ice
floes, minutely studying the phe-
nomena of a vast area never be-
fore visited by white men, and to
secure data which the explorer
expects may revolutionize pres
ent day knowledge of this unex-
plored section of the globe.
Amundsen's first ~ effort met
with delay in 1920 when the
Maud lost a propeller in the ice
off the northeastern Siberian
coast and was forced to put into
Seattle for repairs. Recently the
vessel has undergone complete
overhauling and additional equip
ment, including two airplanes, a
long range wireless outfit: and
many precise scientific instru-
ments, has been added to the COM
| plement.
The expedition, Amundsen has
declared, is primarily a scientific
one, and while he hopes to reach
the North pole-he discovered
the South pole in 19l1-the study
Of ocean and magnetic currents,
the drift Of the ice pack, and
movements of the air will be his
first objective. s.. u
Special investigation will be
made to determine whether land
exists in the neighborhood of the
North pole, as some scientists
maintain. Much attention will~be
given to the ocean itself and
through holes bored in the ice,
the depth of the water, direction
and strength of the currents will
be measured. .,--..- ~
Two airplanes, one capable Of
carrying nine passengers and the
other three-seater, and the
wireless outfit are held by the ex-
plorer to be the most important
items of the vessels equipment.
With the planes Amundsen will
make an extensive exploration Of
the huge area of almost million
square miles covering the "roof
of the world" =.
By means of the wireless equip.
Ement he expects to keep in tOuch
with the world and perhaps to
flash the message that, following
Peary, he has reached the North
pole. Four times daily he will
send wireless messages to Wash
ington, giving meteorological
data expected to aid measurably
iG forecasting weather conditions
throughout the globe.
! Amundsen is skeptieal of the
theory that az, explorer can "live
on the country" in that part OF
the world, and the Maud has
been stocked with provisions to
last seven years. Sixty tons Of
fuel oil have been taken aboard.
"Husky"<dogs, to be used III
sledge work after the vessel is
frozen into the ice, will join the
vessel at Nome. The Maud will
be sailed into the ice fields of the
north, permitted to freeze up in
one Of these packs, then drift
with it at the will of the Arctic
:prrcnts.

MAKING A TARIFF LAW.

n "a oSNSid al WCShS thS ScIldte VI
the United States has been strug-
Cling with the tariff bill report
ed for the Republicans by Sena-
tor McCumber, and it looks as if
the body will be- struggling with
it for many weeks to come. There
is no other issue OH which sena-
tors, or, for that matter, all men
interested in national politics, di-
vide so sharply ON party lines as
they do on the tariff. Conse-
quently, whenever either party
undertakes to overthrow the tariff
law that the other party framed
every inch of ground is con-
tested. >
The controversy in the senate is
almost interminable. The house,
with its convenient rules for cut
ting off debate, always makes
short work Of the tariff bill
When the ways and means COM
mittee, which prepares the meas
ure, reports it to the house it pre-
sents bill in the drafting of
which cnly members of the ma
jority party have taken part. 1t
IS purely a party measure. When
1t Is introduced special rule is
proposed and adopted that limits
general debate to a Certain num-
ber OF days or hours and forbids
the offering of any amendment.
Therefore the bill, supported by
the majority, is passed exactly as
reported and goes to the senate /;
but there it is examined as with
a microscope. TO illustrate the
difference the Dingley act of 1897
was only ten days in getting
through the house but A days in
getting through the senate.
The bill now pending in the
senate has been discussed more
systematically than any previous
bill for, although long deabtes
always take place on some items,
the present bill was attacked III
the very first item, and the fight
has continued on most Of the
items that come after it. At the
present rate it will be months be-
fore the senate will reach the
last of the many thousands of
items in the bill. .s.'. -
The Republicans say that the
Democrats are filibustering. The
Democrats deny it. Both parties
have shown thorough knowledge
Of the use and supply of the arti-
cles they have discussed, and
what it cost to produce them.
But, however closely the dispu-
tants may agree on the facts, it
does not bring them any nearer
together, for the Republicans are
bent on making ii protective tariff
and the Democrats favor lower
duties and larger importations,
holding that protective duties ere.
ate domestic monopilies.
In the fight they are making
on the bill the Democrats assume
that in the end the law will be
unpopular-there is much evil
dcnc ethat it will be--and they
therefore hope that it will be en-
acted not long before the Novem-
ber elections.

INTERNATIONAL STATION TO
GUIDE WEATHER SERVICES

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-An inter-
nationally owned and operated wire
less station and weather observation
station on the shores of Baffin Bay, to
supply data for the worlds weather
services, has been proposed, and steps
are being taken to insure its installa-
ton.
Baffin Bay is pretty far north, as a
glance at a map of the top of our con-
tinent will show, cold winds blow
cheerlessly much of the time, ice and
snow hold sway over the land and sea
for good portion of the year, and the
life OF those stationed there, cut off
from the world except by radio, would
not be OF the easiest; but the value of
their services to the world would be
inestimable, it is said.
Officials of the United States Wea-
ther Bureau are enthusiastic over the
proposal and will urge the participa-
ton of the government in the CO.
operative scheme. They point out the
valuable work of the international
weather observation station on the
lonely little island of Jan Maven. off
the southeast coast OF Greenland.
where reports ere sent to all the
European government meteorological
services, as we'll as to the Canadian
and United States. weather bureaus.

NAVY GR|DDERS REST
AFTER HARD BATTLE

Rain and the hard game of Satur-
day against Georgia Tech had the eff
feet of reducing the football practice
at the Naval Academy yesterday af-
ternoon to a minimum. Barchet, Gull
len and Taylor we're somewhat shaken
up and so were kept off the field, but
it is expected that they will be ready
for scrimmage by tomorrow. Work
yesterday afternoon was confined to
passing. kicking, formations and
signals.
Because of his showing in the game
against Georgia Tech, Mckee has re-
gained his place in the Navy back
field, while Bolles' work has made
him, rather than Levensky, the choice
for left tackle. There is special de-
light over the fine kicking of Cullen,
who proved himself to be the only
high-grade punter the Naval Academy
has had in three seasons.
Players and coaches declare thai
the team had to go the limit in order
TO win from Georgia Tech. The hard
clean game of the Georgians was
much appreciated, and it is hoped thai
they will be on the schedule regularly
1t was the first football game in the
history of the modern sport at the
Academy in which no penalty was in
fiicted.
