Rare Arctic Life Traced
 By MacMillan Expedition
Explorer Gives First Account Of Daring Escape
 From Ice-Locked Harbor Off Greenland

south of west. Thus we were north of the northern lights and saw only oc- casionally faint displays to the south of us.
 Our hunting gave us plenty of exer- else. We had abundant amusement, what with our radio, the laboratory and a little theatre that we rigged up in the forecastle. Our menu was always excellent and we had no signs of scurvy, malnutrition or any kind of illness.
 Observations have confirmed my previous conclusions that the northern region was unquestionably once a mild climate. There are ample fossil remains of the flora of temperate zones. It is possible that the axis of the earth may elliptic. or possible that the warm southern currents maintained high temperature. It will probably remain mistery to science and we found nothing different on this expedition to suggest an answer. We are glad to be back and can thank our good ship for carrying us through. She weathered the long voyage without springing seam.
 Bring Back Rare Specimens.
 The Bowdoin, MaeMillan's eighty nine foot schooner, is the smallest vessel ever to attain the latitude of 7S :32 north and withstand the arctic winter. Dr. MacMillan and all members of the expedition are fit and we'll and report gratifying success in their scien- tific observations and all other ob- jectives of the trip. They have brought back several rare gyrfalcons, the arctic hawk, live blue foxes and other trophies.
 Dr. MacMillan produced positive evil dence that the glaciers are advancing. He took photographs of the location of the glaciers on his previous expedi- tion in 1908 and found old tribesmen among the Eskimos who were of the opinion that the ice was creeping down. Although Dr. MacMillan does not con- slider the evidence sufficient to predict return of the ice age, he is positive that the glaciers are returning and will probably continue through long cycle of years.
 Dr. MacMillan is we'll known throughout this region and his landing here created much more interest and comment than did the recent arrival of the American world flyers. He is scheduled to leave Battle Harbor today, proceeding via Sydney, Nova Scotia to Wiscasset, Maine, where, it is hoped the Bowdoin will arrive by September twentieth.

 Kaufman and Connolly are funny in their new comedy, Be Yourself" Of course. They could not be otherwise. They have become the towns leading japers, if there is such world.

 Again pace is emphasized. The cho- rus dashes in and off without apology, which is a pleasant departure from convention. Unfortunately it is not a very pretty chorus nor very well dressed one.

VENICE Of NORTH
| VIEWED FROM AIR
Sweden Presents Beautiful
Picture to Passenger on
Aerial Journey.
Special Dispatch to The Star and the
ChicaCo Daily News.
BY GEORGE II. WITTE.

I.
STOCKHOLM. Sweden. September 9.
Not until one has seen Stockholm
from the air after nightfall can one
appreciate why it is sometimes called
the Venice of the north. From
few thousand feet up in the air one
looks down upon the Swedish capital
and sees its winding waterways
giistening and scintillating with
dancing lights, while its streets and
bridges and roof gardens stand out
like cleaning diamonds in a priceless
tiara.
This way of seeing Stockholm be-
came possible only after the city had
been made the terminus of the north
east European air net. The German
Junkers All-Metal Airplane Company
operates The service, as we'll as the
many other passenger and freight
aerial transport lines in the border
states of Russia and in Soviet Russia
proper.
There has been great influx of
American tourists into Sweden this
summer, many of them experienced
globe -trotters, making their first tour
Of Scandinavia. They had seen
Venice and Rome, Paris and Con-
Stantinople, but the majority of them
declared stoutly that Stockholm was
by far the most beautiful city they
had ever visited
Many Beautiful Buildings.
Architecturally, Stockholm is gem
orally conceded to be a model city
Reichstag. The royal palace, the
rikstag (parliamenD building, the
opera house and the foreign Office.
punched together in the very heart
Of the capital, make a superb picture
when viewed from aloft. There are
besides the rows of splendid build
g \
gatan, the latter now boasting two
skyscrapers. the first in northern Eu-
rope. Numerous parks, including the
picturesque Djurgarden, and many
towering churches, some of them
built ages ago, further enhance the
beauty OF the panorama one sees
from an airplane.
The flying machines that connect
Stockholm with Helsingfors are nee
essarily hydroplaneS, most of the trip
being over water. The hangers from
which the machines hop off are
northeast of the city, near the bar
racks and parade grounds OF the
Stockholm garrison.
Between Stockholm and Helsing-
fors there are thousands of islands,
over which the airplane flies. First
are the islands of the Stockholm
Archipelago, then more islands along
the east coast of Sweden. then the
Aland Islands midway between Swe-
den and Finland, and finally count
less. more islands along til" Finnish
coast all the way from Abo to Hell
s.ngfors. Most of these islands are
uninhabited, and could be bought for
d song by anybody with a banker
ing to play Robinson Crusoe on an
island of his own. Some of them are
barren rocks, others are covered with
trees and underbrush. But they are
not pleasant places during the long
Winters. with the howiing icy north
wind lashing the waves and ice foes
of the Baltic against their shores.
Big, dark green forests on the left
show the mainland of Finland, and
those forests continue endleSsly to
the outskirts of Helsingfors.

nish capital the air traveller feels that
he has reached another country and
IA different civilization. 1t is the
golden cupolas of the great Russian
Nicolai Church that first catch the
eye as the plane approaches the city.
Other buildings of pronounced Rus
sian character add to this first i'm
preston. AS a matter of fact,
the architectural difference between
Stockholm and HeisingforS tells as
eloQuently the difference in culture
as does that between Paris and Ber-
lin. Yet Helsingfors is not altogether
east European. Its architecture, es-
pecially that of some of the new
buildings, such as the railroad sta
ton, is peculiarly Finnish in charac-
ter.
Heisingfors, in the old days, was
known as one of the most beautiful
cities in the Russian Empire. This
reputation holds good. 1t is q city
one wants to visit a second time. 1t
exercises a charm that is hard to ex
plain.

charge entered Baer's neck, killing
him inst3ntly.
OFT then fled to his home pursued
by st Clair County authorities. He
barricaded himself inside and fired
upon q posse Of more than 100 which
surrounded the place. slightly
wounding two volunteer possemen.
The posse dared not return his fire
because of Otis children in the

After a two-hour siege. two broth

and he was brought here to Jail for
questioning.
