Washington Believes Flight
Will be Resumed at Early
Date-Sub Plane for Lieut..
Wade on Way

Washington, Aug. S-Redoubled
efforts will be made to locate and
equip emergency bases in Greenland
for the use of the American around
the world fiiers, it was said today by
the army air service in answer to
suggestions that the remainder of
the flight might have to be post
poned until next year because of
increasingly unfavorable ice condi-
lions. Ice apparently has prevented
entry into Angmagsalik, on the east
coast of Greenland, first selected as
the terminal, and threatens the
withdrawal of the naval convoy.
Informed that Rear Admiral
Thomas P. Magruder, heading the
naval guard on the Atlantic route,
had called conference of the pilots
to discuss the advisability of discon-
tinuing the attempt at Reykjavik,
Iceland. without reaching a final de-
cisioP officials of the air service de-
clared no necessity for abandoning
the fight was yet apparent in any
reports received here.
1T is expected that the world
flight will not be much further de-
layed," a statement issued from
aviation headquarters said. land
within a short time the planes will
be on their way to Greenland"
Attempts to locate emergency ba-
oil
Major Clarence l.. Crumrine, repre-
senting the air service on the cruis-
er Milwaukee, sent word that he had
ordered the establishment of a base
on the west coast as near Cape Fare
wei as possible. and had commiss-
Toned the steamer Quest to attempt
to penetrate the ice on the east
coast with the same object in view.
Lieutenant c. l.. Bissell, command
ing the landing party from the DAN
ish governments steamer Gertrude
Raisk, which Is stationed at Ang-
magsal1k. telegraphed a request that
authority be sought from the DAN
ish government at once for further
exploration along that section of the
coast.
Should the $50 mile Jump to the
southern point of Greenland become
necessary oJcials thought it possible
further to safeguard the route by
locating floating base on the edge
OF the ice midway between the Ice
land and Greenland terminals.
Admiral Magruder's precautionary
steps were strongly approved at the
navy department, where 1t was ex-
pialned' however, that they had been
taken on his own responsibility. The
admiraPs responsibility for hundreds
or lives and for several ships under
his command was declared to pre-
vent him from taking the slightest
chance of being caught in the south
ward movement of the great Arctic
foes.
