MACMILLAN RADIO
AID PLEDGED HERE
District Amateurs Confident
They viii Pick Up Word
From Arctic.

Members of the American Radio Re-
lay League in the District are pre-
pairing to play a prominent part in
picking up radio messages from the
Polar regions sent out by the Mac
MILAN Arctic expedition, under the
auspices of the National Geographic
Society.
1t was learned last night that there
are at least seven amateur operators
in Washington with equipment ena-
bling them to work with the new short
wave band which daily is bringing
surprises to the radio field, because OF
the unusually long distances it can be
heard
Several of the operators here have
made great strides in sending and re
ceiving. and, 1t was understood, they
even have surpassed in some in
stances the experts of the Navy and
the Department of Commerce.
Confident of Result.
W. A. Parks, a lieutenant in the
Naval Reserve Force, and one of the
amateurs experimenting with the
high frequency method, said last night
that the operators here believe there
is not the slightest doubt of their
inability to receive the short-wave

E. Byrd will send back to the Geo.

Mr.. Parks, who is a former presi.
dent of the Washington Radio Club
which meets twice A month in
Pythian Temple, said the high fire
quency experimenters in Washington
included: B. J. Croger, operating cal
station 3APV; Donald Basin, 3CKG;
Alfred Goodal. 3AB; Fathers and

about June 20. Two amphibian Loen-

Flight from Etah.
From Etah, North Greenland, the
planes will hop ESQ miles to Cape
Land, which will be the flying base.
On beyond lies Crocker Land.
Peary, with whom Macmillan went to
the North Pole, announced 1t as the
discovery of a new land. Mcmillan
went back in 1914 and reported Crock
er Land was a mirage. But he is not
quite sure; he still clings to the
thought that possibly there is still a
northern lost Atlantis to be found.
The Pole will be about six hundred
miles to the starboard of planes flying
northwestward over AXel HStbarg and
Crocker Land.

talk about it-and the talk r. not con-
fined to the spectacular and sporting
interests of the event. In various
departments of state there are on
record weighty considerations of pos
sible transpolar air routes and landing
bases. 1t was noticeable that Capt.
MacMillan's reference to planting an
American flag on newly discovered

rejoinder from the Danish home secre-
tary. Scientific findings are the an

pedition. The expedition will be lib
orally stated with scientists OF all
sorts, and assurance is given that the

rological, geological and scientific
data.
Race With Scott.
Amundsen reached the South Pole
December IA, 1911. Scott arrived
January %. 1912, and he and his party
perished on the way back. Among his
records were found proofs that Amund
sen was there first. The British at
first thought Scott had won, but when
the truth came out they were good
sports. They never give up, and now.
comes the announcement that young
Brittsher-Crettir Algarsson OF Van
couver, British Columbia, is out to
beat Amundsen-with a blinp. Algars-
son is young aviator. He will leave
Liverpool on the steamer Iceland May
], with his blimp aboard, for Rekjavik,
Iceland, whence he will push onto the
west side Of Spitzbergen. hoping TO
come within 600 miles of the Pole be-
fore loosing the blimp. The blimp
makes SO miles an hour. hence he fig
ures a 12-hour trip. Algarsson Is Of
Icelandic descent. and looks like a col
legian. His pilot will be Lieut..
Humphrey Humphries. skilled in pilot
ing blimps.
When the American world flyers
were on their way last year, old timers
in the Far North ridiculed the idea
that flying men were approaching.
'Thems just auks-nothing but
auks,'' said the graybeards with faint
memories Of the now extinct giant
bird Of the North. What will they say
when they see Algarsson's blimp?

luctantly gotten from the local author
tiles that the trail to Bucay, our des-
tination, was in bad shape with one
important bridge gone. Busay is 30
miles from Palantanga and no shelter
en- route. The only thing to do was
to stay in the village until the trail
was ready.
This was an uncertain proposition
since the slides occur on the trail

been washed away twice within two
weeks. The next day, the 26th, we
rested at Pallatanga. / rode over

NEW YORK, April 25.-While the
world Is standing by for the North
Pole ENTHUSIASTICALLY Macmillan and
Amudsen with their planes and AL
CARSON with his blimp waiting for
the gong-John Jaynes is shining up
his Saxophone.
For 20 years Jaynes has been a
school teacher in Somervi1le, Mass.
Last year. two of his lifetime ambi-
tions were miraculously revealed He
found himself in the Far North with
Donald MacMillan's North Greenland
expedition locked in the ice for six
month Winter night, with a saxo-
phone as big as a fog horn. Certain
domestic and community restrictions
had prevented him from taking up
the ysaxophone in Somerville. He used
his Winter night TO good advantage
When the Summer solstice came, he
had mastered "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" which he rendered with
considerable virtuosity as the Bowdoin
broke through the Etah ice barriers on
the way home.
Going North Again.
Jaynes had become not only a saxo-
phone but an iceberg addict, and was
dispirited with the thought of aban-
doning both his art and his adventure.
Now Capt. Donald B. Macmillan is in
New York with the news that Jaynes
will be included in the expedition to
the Far North which will leave Wis.
casset, Me-, late in June. This time
he will try to master Red Hot
Mamma.
While Capt. Macmillan evades any
discussion of a definite drive for the
pole. it is clear that his objective is
by no means an unconsidered detail,
and it is also clear that the various
Arctic plans are focusing in a stu
alton not unlike the dramatic align
ment of 1911, when five nations we're
driving for the South Pole. Roald
Amundsen, gaunt, ascetic Norseman,
with a face like Sayonarola, was the
winner, with poor Scott trailing close
behind-and giving his life to the ven.
ture. Amundsen is the only one of the
old dramatis personae in the present
cast, and doubtless the bookmakers
would say the odds are on him. as his
effort will be the elimination of II
years of scientific study of the problem
of reaching the North Pole by aero
plane.
Amundsen made his first flight, in
San Francisco. March 5, 1918.
1T may take a few years, but I'll
fly to the pole some day. said Amund
sen when he landed.
Beset By Bad Luck.
Disappointment and difficulties have
bounded Amundsen for the last few
Years. He was in New York a few
| months ago-still erect and purposeful
and admitting no shadow of doubt as
to his final success.
Capt. Donald Macmillan has spent
all but two of the last 16 years in the
| Arctic regions. He is a combination
of shrewd Yankee skipper and a col
| lege professor-not f1guratively, but
actually as he became an expert navi
gator in his youth and later was pro
fessor of anthropology at Bowdoin

There We're two distinct affairs at

self, the gift of the American Legion.
Mr.. Baker was introduced by James
A. Drain, national commander OF the
legion. who also appeared for the
legion's endowment funds for dis
abled soldiers and war orphans. A
tableau illustrated the needs of the
disabled soldiers and the work of the
legion in their behalf and that of the
orphans.
SOusa Leads Band.
John Philip Sousa conducted five
Army and Navy bands in a concert
and song writer's sang the choruses OF
their wartime hits. Many actors en-
tertained, the entire program being
broadcast through station WEAF.

ert Lee Bullard, Maj. Gen. Charles P.
Summerall, Rear Admiral Charles E.
Plunkett and Will H. Hays were
to the general, which preceded the
public tribute. The dinner addresses
were broadcast by station WIZ.
Comdr Drain in introducing Mr..
Baker. said that Americas enlisted
men won the World War for the al
lied cause. but declared they couldn't I
have done it without the leadership OF
Gen. Pershing.
Met Colossal Task.
Charged with the full power of
his mighty Government" Comdr.
Drain said 'in Gen. John j. PERISH
ings capable hands were placed the
lives of millions of American men
and women, expenditures of billions
in moneys and materials and the
honor, almost the life, of his country.
Gen. Pershing met his colossal task
with that greatness of heart and mind
and soul demanded by that mighty
moment in the worlds history.
Asserting that the American Legion
was "honoring itself when it seeks TO
do honor to Gen. Pershing,' the ma
tional commander said that the or
ganization was driving ahead full
speed this year at the highest, ana
first and greatest purpose-the care
cd Iac
and the care and upbringing of the
orphaned children of those who gave
their lives to their country"
The American Legion was happy
in this task as was the woman aux
iliary, he said.
