NEW YORK, June 25.-Two more

while United States government Off
cials were preparing to move on six
other vessels which had docked over
the week end with liquor transported
over the three-mile line in defiance of
the Treasury Departments dry ruling.
The latest arrivals were the Anchor
liner Tuscania and the French liner
Suffren.
Customs men shortly before noon
began removing the seized liouor
stores from the Berengaria. The
party was led by Deputy Customs
Surveyor Coleman. They planned
next to visit the Paris, to seize liquors
declared in excess of her medical re-
ouirements. Then dry agents planned
to take up the case of the other week
enders, Cedric, Carohia, Providence and
Conte Verdi.
The Tuscania, arriving from Glas-
Cow. bhought relatively small store.
Seven dozen bottles of Scotch was
the largest inividual item. Eighty
nine bottles of assorted drinks made
up the rest of the cache, bearing Brit

Ho,o Macmillan Will Keep Star
Readers Aduised of Adventures

DR.. Donald B. Macmillan. one of
the most famous of explorers and
Peary's lieutenant in the discovery
of the north pole. today is bound
again for the arctic. He goes as
special correspondent of The Star
and other members of the North
American Newspaper Alliance. For
the first time radio equipment is
being carried on an expedition
bound for within a few degrees
of the pole, and week by week
during the months of his journey
DR.. Macmillan will send out ac-
counts of his progress. his discov-
cries and his adventures. The
radio directory has a new signal:
WNP-Wireless north pole.
The explorer is confident that he
will be able to keep in close touch
with home by wireless. and not
only to send out news. but to re-
ceive IN return news, advices from
loved ones, and the entertainment
features of the broadcasting sta
tions.
Thirty thousand members of the
American Radio Relay League,
radio amateurs, are cooperating
with The Star and the North
American Newspaper Alliance in
this experiment, which, despite
the doubts held by some experts,
will In any event settle the i'm
portant point Of the exact effect
of the aurora borealis on wire

The plan, which will be described
in detail later from the technical
point of view Of the radio opera
tor. is briefly this:

at a designated time. The 10000
amateurs will listen for him. Those
who live near Washington will, as
arranged by the American Radio
Relay League, send to The Star
copies of the coded messages from
the arctic as soon as they are re-
ceived. After being decoded. the
messages from Macmillan will be
published in The Star.
The experiment is regarded as
one of the most important ever
undertaken. both from the point of
view of the radio expert and of
the explorer.
In MacMillan's party of eight is
Donald Mix, lad Of twenty, chosen
from among hundreds as the ex-
petitions wireless operator.
Each week Mix will send out his
chiefs accounts-the stories of
new discoveries, of progress. Of life
in the tiny quarters on the Bow
doln and of the natives life and
friendliness or enmity in the great
white expanses without. Matters
of tremendous import to science
are to be studied, one of them
being the advance of glaciera 1t
is possible that the latest of mans
great inventions. radio, will flash
word that the world Is faced with
another ice age. which would OBJ
literate the progress made by the
human race during more than fifty
centuries.
DR.. Macmillan will proceed from
Maine to a point within eleven de-
grees of the pole and there lock
his ship in the ice. He plans to
be gone for fifteen months. He
may be held for years. And he
may never return. The final story
sent by him with his wireless may
be as tragic as the last chapter
in the career of Capt Scott In the
antarctic.

Navy submarine chaser, was brought
in by the coast guard cutter Seminole

LONDON, June 25.-Stanley Bald
win, the prime minister, stated in the
house of commons today that there
was no ground for protest IL British
customs seals were broken within
United States territorial waters by
officials of the United States customs
service.
His statement was in answer to q
Iquestion whether Great Britain recog-
nized Americas right to break the
seals on liquor aboard ships. s
Mr.. Baldwin said 1T was the prac-
tice for the British customs authorities
to fix their seals as a matter OF
routine on dutiable ship stores taken
from England in bond to prevent
consumption of the stores in terri
torial waters. The seals must not
be broken in British territorial
waters; otherwise they are in
no way inviolable. Foreign customs
seals. he added, were habitually
broken when necessity arose in Brit
ish territorial waters.
