SHIP WILL SEEK
MONSTERS Of

ST. s. Arcturus to INVESTIGATES
| Mysteries Of the Sar-

by ROLAND KREBs,
international News Service.

NEW YORK, Oct. a. Playing
with Fire at the Bottom Of the
Sea-"
There is caption that may be
written on the cover Of the log
Of the s. s. Arcturus, which began
fitting out today for a sixsmonth
cruise in the Lost Sea. Of Saragosso
to see what it can see two miles
under the. oceans surface, where
man never before has pentrated.
The expedition win start at
Christmas time. under the leader
ship Of William Beebe, explorer
working In behalf Of the New York
Geological Society.
Beebe frankly confesses he may
be playing with fire. His most
vivid flights of imagination cam
not picture to him what the egpec-
tally built dredges of the Arcturfs
may drag up from those depths
above which fishes seldom rise
because the decreased pressure
causes them to explode.
May Find Monsters.
He does not regard it as inn
possible that some strange sort Of
undersea mastodian comparing in
size with the prehistoric monsters
that once roamed, North America
when 1t was slime, a bog or what
ever it was, may be found. The
difference in pressure fifteen
pounds to the square inch at the
surface and two tons to the square
inch three miles down--may have
kept the existence of those subsea
leviathans a secret through the
centuries.
I'm the stomachs of whales"
Beebe told international News
Service, have been found the
arms Of huge cuttlefish or sQuids
measuring twenty.seyen feet from
end to end. II all the tentacles
of these octupi are of that length,
it's diameter would be fifty-four
feet"
Where is this Saragosso sea?"
Beebe was asked.
mo one seems to know" he an,
swered. "No. two shippers ever
agree. It's general neighborhood Is
In the South Atlantic between
British Guiana and The cost Of
Africa. We intend to cover all OF
that territory.
Disappears Sometimes.
This sea Is q sort Of floating
swamp. Drift OF all kinds gathers
there because it Is the center OF
circling currents. Sometimes oil
this vegetation disappears for q
time. ~
Because / think animals dying
there, whose bodies aift down
through the water and provide food
for the beasts Of the sea, are plenti-
full, believe that to be the best
field for this fishing.
with contrivances we are build
ing, we hope to bring these. deepsea
specimens, whatever they prove to
be, to the surface under the same
great pressure they are accustomed
to, SO that they may be studied be-
fore they explode"
Two women, Miss Ruth Rose,
technicist, and Miss IsabaiI Coopes !,
scientific artist, win go with the

eral numbers which alluded to the

The Ascent

Growing old Is like climbing a
gradual ascent. 1t is like a smooth
board which goes ever upward, Dor
dered sometimes by roses and some
times barren. AS W. climb, we can
not stop to admire the roses or look
sadly at the barren wastes. AS we
climb this perpetual path of minutes,
days, and years we may drop along
the way but we must trudge on un-
til the last heart beat. Our loved
ones may fall but we cannot stop
climbing to mourn over them but
we must trudge ver onward on the
path OF growth. Some die at the
first step and some trudge on till
their limbs become feeble and their
hair white as the snow flakes. We
can make this endless ascent sad
or happy as the lark that sings his
joyful song.

green firs, the picture was n from
which no artist would turn away.
The sunset was ever changing, first a
red, and then an orange, then a yell
low until nearly every color Of the
rainbow was reflected In that sunset.
The pale green arch of sky just
above the horizon, slowly faded into
the deepening blue of twilight. The
color in the bushes became less dis

faded. Soon all was dark and l turn

Berlin, Aug. 10.-(By A. P.)-"Con-
observed in Greater Berlin today,
once more suggested that, in Berlin.
Germany is "a republic without re-
publicans."
The efforts of the champions Of de-
mocracy to turn the fifth anniversary
of the adoption of the Weimar consti-
tuition into a rousing demonstration
for the young republic and a militant
challenge to the nationalists and Ba-
varian Fascist met with only slug
gish response in Berlin, where the re-
publican colors We're sparsely display
cd and a scant 5000 men, women and
children Joined in a public parade. Nu-
merous private premises flew the old
monarchial colors in defiant challenge
to the republican standard.
Efforts to stimulate the production
and sale of the new republican colors
during the past fortnight apparently
met with indifferent response. There
was no demand for them in the shops.
German democracy's apparently
rocky road affords the nationalist Or
gans opportunity for caustic editorial
chuckles and vicious filings at the
Weimar constitution, which the Lokal
Anzeiger brands as "un-German." The
republican form of government and the
parliamentary system are totally I'M
suited to the needs of the German peo-
pie, in the opinion of the Kreuz lei
tung, the venerable monarchial journal.
which declared the Weimar constitu-
ahct in 10 nath of the
German people and calls for return to
the methods of Bismarck. This news
paper strenuously objects to having
the republican colors hoisted over the
imperial palaces, saying these still are
property of the HohenZollerns.
A revision and Improvement of the
constitution of Weimar can be effected
only through the process of historical
evolution, in the opinion of the
Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung, which
assumes that current indifference TO
the patriotic efforts to make "Constl-
tuition Day" a national fete day does
not spring from outspoken host1llty
to the republics charter, which at least
has the merit of having proven a living
symbol OF German unity in the crlt1cai
period following the revolution
Staunch optimism is reflected In the
editorials appearing in the liberal ana
socialistic organs, which are anything
but disheartened at the uphill task
confronting German democracy These
newspapers see the republics salvation
in thenations youth.
President Ebert and the members or
the Prussian ministry led the celebra-
ton in Muenster. Westphalia. There
were numerous demonstrate staged
by the new republican league OF

these were literally attended, especial
" one in Munich. Bavaria. where the
clerical democratic and socialist par
ties united in observing the day, not
withstanding the police embargo on
open-air meetings.
The German government will official
" commemorate Constitution Day"
tomorrow in.a series of public ceremo-

Support LafOllette

tive II. c. LaGuardia of this city
elected on the Republican ticket
today announced that he would
support Senator LaFollette, Pro-
pressive nominee for president, and
indicated that he would seek re-
election on the LaFollette platform
In a letter to Samuel Il. Koenig,
Republican leader in Manhattan
Mr.. LaGuardia said he would not
seek the Republican nomination to
succeed himself because he was not
in agreement with either the poll
cles of the present administration OF
the platform adopted by the Repub-
hcans national convention.
Recalling that he did not support
the reactionary attitude of the
Republican majority" in voting on
the soldiers bonus, the immigration
bill, the Melon tax plan, postal SAL
airy increases, prohibition, the Cape
Cod Canal and the Muscle Shoals
project in the last session of con-
gress, Mr.. LaGuardia said he would
challenge the Republican candidates
Tor congress in his and other New
York City districts to say that they
would support the measures that he
opposed.
Mr.. LaGuardia asserted that the
Republican platform makes no APP
peal to the hope of our people
whom represent" while he charac-
terized the LaFollette platform as
containing IAN economic and politi-
cal program which comes NEARER
hitting our present time and condi-
tions than any platform presented TO
the voters of this country since 1912,
when the late Theodore Roosevelt
set the example of righteousness
rather than regularity"
