GREAT COAL FIELDS

Wiscasset. Me-. Sept. % (By A. P.)
Enormous coal deposits were dis
covered in Ellesmere Land by Cap
tain Donald b. Macmillan, Arctic ex-
plorer. who arrived here Saturday
with his party OF six after Is
months sojourn in the Far North.
According to information given The
Associated Press by the explorer
who planned to unload his schooner
today scientific specimens brought
from beyond the Arctic Circle, the
Far North once had climate start
lingly different from that from 1t now
possesses
This shows, he said. a very diff
ferent inclination of the earth's axis
to its orbit cons of time ago." This
indicates, he said, that the angle of
the worlds axis may have changed
in the course Of centuries.
Captain Macmillan also asserted
that ice caps in the Arctic are in
creasing in thickness, glaciers are

In. He said. too, that the western
shores of North Greenland from Cape
York to the Humboldt Glacier are
slowly subsiding. or sinking"
The coal deposits were discovered
by the Macmillan party in n 1000
mile sledge trip across Davis Strait
TOTO II
was found near Eureka Sound in
seams at some places 25 feet In
thickness. Sal piles of the coal,
which he said was bituminous. were
brought back by the explorer for an
alysis.
The location OF the coal deposits,
however. gave little hope that they
could be brought in soon to augment
the worlds supply. for they are only
a few hundred miles from the north
Pole and many hundreds OF miles be-
yond reach of any transportation
system excepting dog sledges.
Speaking of the discovery Of the
coal DIR. Macmillan said:
This simply proves the scientists
claim that this land had at one time
temperate climate. The big hills
were at one time covered with vege-
tation and the climate was like that
of Pennsylvania. Seams of coal %
feet in thickness were found within
|sless than nine degrees of the North
Pole.
"The exact location Of the depo. It's
was 81 degrees. 40 minutes north lat
itude. within $40 miles of the Pole.
ION the tops of the hills. 1900 feet
above the sea we found clamshells,
showing that at one time the hills
were beneath the sea. The land has
evidently reached its greatest alti-
tude for there are positive signs all
through the north now of subsi-
dence.
1.-The entire coast is sinking.
"This shows different inclination
of the earth's axis to the orbit cons
OF time ago.
Just where the north Pole was
then it is hard to conjecture. Such
information, while not of great in
terest to the layman. is of tremen-
dous interest to the geologist.'

DECLARES BOBBED HAIR
WOMEN FACE BADNESS
Joseph Byrne, Editor of Beauty
Paper, Warns Association
Against Cropped Locks.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Bobbed
hair is a sure means for causing
badness and 1t won't be many years
before the world is filled with bald
headed women. Joseph Byrne, edi-
tor of a beauty magazine said in ad-
dressing the annual convention of
the American Master Hair Dressers'
Association yesterday.
Milliners, he explained, in order to
conform to present day hair style,
have been obliged to make head
bands exceedingly tight to keep the
hats on, resulting in the death of
the hair. Mr.. Byrne asserted that
girls of the present generation would
be bald before they reached ma
turity.
Charles Nestle, vice president of
the association, characterized the
bobbing of hair as the greatest mis-
fortune to come to women in recent
years"
On the other hand, Mrs. S. T. Bur-
CESS of Madison, Wis, who said she
had been studying beauty culture for
thirty-five years, expressed the opin-
ion that bobbing of hair was the
greatest benefit the modern woman
enjoys.

CRISIS DRAWING NEAR
IN TURKISH POLITICS
Resignation of Cabinet Dissolution
of Assembly May Follow
Disagreement.
By the Assoc in ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 25.-A
situation which may involve resigna-
tion OF the cabinet, or aIternatiyely
dissolution of the national assembly,
has arisen at Angora in consequence
of rejection by the assembly of an
article of the proposed constitution
which would give the president of the
republic power to dissolve the assem-
bly,.
A large number of deputies conSd-
cred that conferment of such power
would be an encroachment on the
attitude was crystallized by speech
by Rechad Bey, who said: Even if
God were elected president we
wouldn't give Him the right to dis
solve the assembly"
If, as a result of the rejection of
the article, the president actually dis
solves the assembly, it would be tan
tamount to coup d'etat.

PARIS, March 25.-fs the experts
report on the verge of it's first serious
crisis?
This is the question which every one
in well informed circles is asking to-
day. The British experts have returned
to London and will have a plenary
meeting late today.
Hitherto the British have worked
Tremendously with the other experts.
and in drawing up the final report,
which has been practically ready for
several days, they have taken due part.
1t is even whispered that some British
estimates of Germany's capacity to
pay are higher than those of other ex-
perts-
But reports of the week end con-
ferences of the British experts with
the British government officials are
dlSquleting and all lead to the in
ference that the British government
may be tempted to try to inject poll
tics into the nearly finished report,
which in so many respects stands op-
posed to what hitherto has been the
British policy on the reparations
question.
otu fNGFtNC0.
Inspired British press dispatches
declare the British object to the re-
port on the following points: The
moratorium terms, international loan,
the system of Rhine and Ruhr rail-
ways control and the size of eventual
German annuities. British dispatches
represent these differences of opinion
as a revival of the old conflict be-
tween France and Great Britain.
I, The correspondent is assured that
these objections never hitherto have
been raised by the British experts
and hence can only emanate from the
British government or officials such
as Sir John Bradbury, British dele
gate on the reparations commission.
Others All Agreed.
If the British experts raise these
objections at this late date they run
the risk of being isolated in the COM
mittee, for it is said that not only
the French but the Italians, Belgians
and Americans stand firmly by the
text as already drafted.
The meetings of the next few days
will show definitely whether the
changed by their London week end or
whether they are disposed to continue
harmonious collaboration and push
the final draft of the report to a rapid
conclusion.

Importance LIS Minimized.
WILL GO TO PARIS.

BRUSSELS, March 25-Premier
Theunis and Foreign Minister Hy-
mans will go to Paris Wednesday or
Thursday of next week to confer with
Premier Poincare. The date has been
only tentatively fixed. as the Belgian
government is desirous of awaiting
the report of the Dawes committee
before meeting the French premier.
The present intention of the Bel
gian government Is to discuss what
attitude shall be taken toward Ger
many, shaping it according to the
manner in which she receives the ex-
perts' report. The question of Bel
gian security also will be discussed.
Certain political and diplomatic
quarters in Belgium are giving indi-
cations of being somewhat resentful
that the Franco British negotiations
on these pending questions have been
opened without the participation of
Belgium.

EXPERTS RESUME WORK.
Labor With New Energy After
First Holiday.

By the Associa ted Press.
PARIS, March 25.-The Dawes COM
mittee of repara ton experts returned
to work today with great energy after
the first week end recess the mem
bers had enjoyed since their meetings
began, more than two months ago.
The banking subcommittee sat
throughout the morning, while the
railway and budget subcommittees
met in the afternoon to iron out the
details upon which divergencies of
opinion have arisen over the manner
in which some of the decisions of the
experts should be presented to the
drafting committee.
In an effort to have the general re-
port ready at the beginning of next
week the plenary session of the COM
mittee set for o'clock this afternoon
was cancelled to give the subcommit-
tees q free hand to devote the entire
day to the questions under discussion
Sir Robert Kindersley and Sir j. C.
Stamp, the British members, have re-
turned to Paris from their visit to
London and took part today in the
deliberations of their respective sub
committees. Sir John Bradbury, Brit
ish member of the reparations COM
mission, also is back in Paris for the

the north pole and Point Barrow-that
great unexplored area that the Shen-

believe land may exist.

knows how to operate the radio; John
Jaynes, engineer, Dick Goddard. rep

Bill Lewis, cook.

possible that this second supporting &
party includes Mix, who is a husky
lad, standing well over six feet. If
Mix were called upon for this work
il might account for the silence of the
sending apparatus of the Bowdoin for

Some credence is given this theory
by the statement here today of Mrs.
Letitia Fogg, a sister of Capt. Mac
MILAN. who asserted that her brother,
contrary to his usual custom, had
gone north on this trip without tell
ing her in detail of his plans. Mac
MILAN sailed in June, 1928, and has
been heard from consistently each

the summer period, between July Is

expedition was in twenty-four hour
