LONDON, May 19.-With the OBJ
ject Of preparing the ground for an
expedition to the North Pole in

Icelander, will leave London late in

There will be ten explorers in

and kinema operator. Some
Of the party will be recruited from
Reykjavik and will be called for by
the rest Of the outfit on their way
to the Arctic.
From London the Beltai will pro.
coed to New York, from whence
she will go by way Of the north
ern part of Nova Zembla and the
Islands Of Franz Josef Land. Six
months will be occupied by the
voyage from New York and back
and by the scientific investigations,
and, all together, more than five
thousand miles will have been Gov.
cred by the time the Beltai returns

Rome PREPARES
FOR PILGRIM
INFLUX.
Expect Two Million Persons to
Visit City During Holy
Year of 1925 Il
BY GUGLIELMO EMANUEL,
International News Service,


ROME, May 19.-With the ad.
vent Of the Holy Year, 1926, less
than eight months distant, Rome
faces a serious housing problem.
The Vatican, state and municipal
authorities are all bordering over
the problem Of providing comfort.
able housing for the pilgrims who
will visit the Eternal City during
the Holy Year.
A quarter Of a million people
visited Rome during the last Holy
Year, but 1t is confidently expect
i ed there will be two million Visi.
tors to Rome next year, an aver
age Of 5000 guests arriving every
day.
Calculating that each guest will
average a four days stay, there
will be a transient population Of
10000 people in Rome each day,
and during the special celebrations
this figure may easily run up to
81, 900.
The ceremonies Of the opening
Of the holy door and the canoni-
zation Of the. saints are expected to
fill the city to overlooking.
! Under normal conditions during
the Roman season the present hotel
capacity is gravely taxed, and
many people are turned away, so
the problem Of next year is all the
more serious.
The Vatican is making arrange
ments for many Of the pilgrims to
be housed in the converts and
monasteries of Rome, and is hav.
ing kitchens fitted up in Santa
Marta, where rations. very much
hn 1fr
tributed at cost price.
| The Vatican and the municipality
are cooperating in a scheme for
the erection Of large dormitories
capable Of holding thousands Of
beds. These dormitories will be
erected on ground belonging to the
Vatican, under the walls Of the
Apostolic Palace.
The weather. pilgrims will be
expected to make their own ar
rangements.

WET RIDER ON
FARM BILL
PLANNED
''Beer Bloc" Seeks to Strike
Bargain With Western and
Southern 'Drys."
By international News Service.

New York "wets" today adopted
a new strategy in their fight to
force a vote this session on an
amendment to the Volstead act, per.
hitting the manufacture and sale OF
light wines and beer.
Congressman Loring M. Black, jr..
Oem) Of Brooklyn will seek to at.
tach such an amendment to the Nc.
Nary-Haugen farmers export cor.
poration bill when it comes up for
consideration this week, 1t was an.
nounced.
Claim 141 Votes.
Advocates Of light wines and beer
adopted this procedure following
their unsuccessful efforts to have
the House Judiciary Committee re.
port a bill proposing liberalization
Of the present dry laws. Claiming
a total strength Of 141 in the lower
chamber they hope to strike a bar
gain with the Western and Southern
drys by which support Of the farm
measure will be given in return for
support Of the Volstead amendment.
At any rate, the Black amend.
ment is regarded as notice to advo.
Gates Of farm legislation that the
beer bloc" will withhold its sup.
port in the absence Of an agree.
ment to vote for modified prohibit
ton.
The New York Congressman
claims that there is a precedent
for his move, pointing out that the
first prohibition legislation took the
form of an amendment to a farm
bill. Passage Of his amendment as
a part Of the farm bill would
supersede the Volstead act, he said.
Provisions Of Bill.
Under the Black amendment, the
proposed export corporation would
be permitted to use surplus farm
products, such as barley, grain and
apples, for the manufacture of
beer, cider and other beverages. He
claims it would eliminate the neces-
s1ty Of the corporation dumping
its surplus products abroad, and
would maintain a high level Of
prices in this country.
For this reason the proposal
should make strong appeal to
the agricultural bloc and to farm
ers in general" said Black.
