found that scientific data that would
be procured would be of great value"
The round-the- e-world flight of the
Army air service pilots, Capt. Bartlett
said, demonstrated the feasibility of
the United States. He pictured the
ZR-3 encountering no obstacles in
blazing an air trail across the North
Pole, connecting Nome, Alas, with
Spitzbergen, distance of 1900 nau-
tical miles, and thence proceeding to
Europe and across the Atlantic to
Lakehurst the original starting point
Of the cruise.
Expects Congress to Approve.
Congress would readily approve
such an enterprise" Capt. Bartlett
said. "The Army's world cruise and
the feat of the ZR-3 in crossing the
Atlantic from Europe should have a
profound effect upon Congress, and l
look for a prompt approval from the
Hill If the Government will seek au-
thority to send the Zeppelin to the
Arctic"
Asked If he would like to be on
the ZR-3 in a cruise to the Pole or
around the top of the world, Bart

a witch, and wished a spell over the
cave. Men covetous of the treasure
fall dead as they approach the en-

them. But the theory OF the Ameri-

that the men are bitten by cobras.

carry out Bartlett's suggestion. prac-
tically all the plans that were made
by the special Arctic board Of the
Navy Department last year could be
utilized. This board, which included
as members Rear Admiral William

Naval Aeronautics, who Is now a pas

lett and other experts. went into the
problem exhaustively, gathering
weather data, outlining the ships
! that would be required and arranged
for the construction of bases in
Alaska and Arctic waters. The ten
tative plans were to send the Shen-
andoah on the polar expedition this
Summer, the months of June, July
and August. when the temperature
ranges between 35 degrees Fahren-
heit and SO degrees at Nome, Point
Barrow and Green Bay, Spitzbergen,
being selected as the best period.
The mission Of the Shenandoah was:
(a) To explore the unknown area of
100000 square miles, one-third the
size of the United States, lying be-
tween Alaska and the North Pole !;
90 establish the practicability of a
transpolar air route.
The plans are now available for
use in any program involving the
Arctic region that the Government
may decide upon for the ZR-3.

commander to serve on the special
board which started the plans for the
proposed trip of the Shenandoah to
the pole. When the expedition was
postponed Bartlett returned to civil
life and spent part of the past sum-
mer in the Arctic region. He de-
clared today that the airship was
the most promising mode of travel
for Arctic explorers and pointed out
with what apparent ease such a ship
as the ZR-3 could negotiate the
cruise to the pole and later take the
shorter round world flight by
hopping "over the top of the world"
I'VE had planned for the Shenan-
doah to go to the pole from a base

Great Value of Data.
The ZR-3 could cross the continent
and proceed to Nome. just as it linked
Germany and the United States by air
and with as much ease. By refueling
