PARTIAL sun ECLIPSE
AT $40 This MORNING
Ninety-Five Per Cent Observation
Eclipse To Last About
Two Hours

This morning, shortly after eight
o'clock, the long predicted eclipse OF
the sun will take place. The obscura-
ton will be total in places, but in this
section it will be around 95 per cent
the remaining per cent. can be view
ed with the naked eye.
In passing between the Earth anG
the Sun, the Moon will occupy about
two hours, and shortly after ter
o'clock the Sun will be giving its
usual light.
Scientists all over the world are
taking extra pains to observe the a.
maZing phenomenon. The newest in
ventions, including the radio and the
lighter than air craft-and it will be
the first time in the history of the
world that these have been used dur
ing an eclipse for scientific research
and Photographic records.
Besides these all the big universe
ties are aiming their mammoth tele.
scopes at the wonderful phenomenon
in order to obtain data upon an oc.
currence which has not happened be.
fore for over two hundred years, anC
which has been accurately predicted
for many years back.
The appearance of the day during
the eclipse will vary from an appear
ance of the beginning of dusk, to 8
darkness as of a heavy thunder cloud
At about 8 A. NJ, the totality ir
places will be evident, and the Sun
in an endeavor to throw it's rays te
the Earth, will cast fringe of light
entirely around the moon trimming il
with a corona of beautiful brilliancy
and these can be seen only through
glasses.
Those who live in this locality will
miss the sight of the total eclipse
the five per cent. disclosure simpl!
making the day grow dark.
Early in the week, the weather fore
casters predicted clear weather for to
day; but their representations wer
just a little too previous to be accur
ate. 1t may or may not be clear.
In places where the phenomenon
will be of greater percentage thai
here, auto owners are counseled t
turn out lights in order that the bes
effect can be obtained. 1t is said tn
lights would interfere with a perfec
view.
Prof. Ernest w. Brown, of the Yal
University, has written the Automo
bile Club of America requesting al
motorists to see that no headlight
are lit. during the two minutes il
which the Sun is totally obscured b.
the moon, as the glow would spoil tn
view both for the motorists and fo
everyone else. ,.t..
There will be millions of eyes fo
cussed on the heavens this morning
and no one should miss seeing the a
mazing spectacle.

Without preliminary notice Of

his government was ready to enter
Immediately into settlement discus

arranged to meet with him for the

Italy's debt principal and interest,
exceeds $1,000, 100000. 1t is the third
largest debt created through the war

it now apears that it will be second

already having made such arrange

BANKERS DEPLORE
DEFERRED DEPOSITS
AT POLAND meet

Poland Spring, Ne. June 1S-(AP)
The story of how millions Of money
are left on deposit by depositors who
never come back was unfolded today
at the second session of the sixth an
nual convention of the National AS
ISOLATION of Mutual Savings Banks,
at Poland Spring House.
1t was said for instance that many
persons put few dollars in a bank
and completely forgot that they ever
had opened an account. In other
cases depositors mysteriously dis
appeared to the ends of the earth,
sometimes returning after many
years to call for their money. But in
other cases they never come back.
Instead of constituting an advan-
tage this really lays heavy burden
on a bank, which must look far and
wide for persons they often cannot
find. Some of the banks have organ
lied what represents detective SER
vice, constantly seeking their lost
depositors.
1t was said that several banks in
the United States have more than
100000 Of this money in their vaults
for which they would gladly find
claimants. The money continues to
draw interest for many years without
any satisfactory method Of distribu-
ton. In no case does the deferred
deposits become the property of the
bank.
George ]. Ryan, president of the
New York Board of Education, told
the bankers that he considered the
influence of thrift in the schools to
be the equal of any other branch in
education today.
In New York we are trying to teach
the children what it means to save
and achieve independence. just as we
are instructing them in the three RS
Of education" said Mr.. Ryan. 1T is
an inspiring sight to see our hosts of
youngsters march up to their school
bank on bank days and deposit their
little sums.
These sums are not always so
small. Some of the banks have con-
siderable cumulative deposits obtain
ed from the children. 1t gives the
young generation an imposing idea
of what money really means and
some conception OF how 1t is earned
and handled.

Safe at Spitzbergen

Oslo, Norway. June 18-(AP)-
The entire Road Amundsen North
Pole expedition arrived safely in
Spitzbergen in one plane.
The party did not return to Kings
Bay by plane. but was picked up by
fishing boat and conveyed there.
It is reported that the expedition
reached north latitude SO degrees, 80
minutes. or about 100 miles from the
North Pole.
The government on the receipt Of
the news of the arrival of the
Amundsen expedition in Spitzbergen
sent Amundsen a telegram with the
nations congratulations.
The newspapers having a contract
with the Aero Club for the news,
posted the fact of the safety of the
expedition in their windows, but
withheld the details of the story for
Friday mornings editions.
The news was received too late to
affect the daily life of Oslo, but it
created excitement wherever it be-
came known. There were great joy
fgul celebrations in the restaurants
of the city tonight.
Lacking full details, everybody
seemed convinced that the expedition
reached the Pole. The people feel
sure that otherwise the party would
not have returned before April.
Latitude $40 where the Stock
holm dispatch says Amundsen came
down because of a shortage in his
supply of gas is only about 200 miles
from the North Pole and about 600
miles from Kings Bay, Spitzbergen,
where the expedition took off for the
fight.
Prior to the arrival of the Stock
holm dispatch the indications were
that the Amundsen planes had re-
turned to Spitzbergen Thursday in
stead of Tuesday as the Stockholm
advices have it. Tuesday mentioned
in the Stockholm dispatch possibly
may be an error in the transmission
of the cable.
If Amundsens planes have been
damaged by the ice, there still are
two other planes in Spitzbergen
which he and his party can use in
another endeavor to fly to the Pole
and back.
The personnel of the Amundsen
expedition which started the flight
toward the North Pole was:
Captain Roald Amundsen. leader
Of the expedition, who acted as OBJ
server in one of the Dornier-Wall
planes.
Lincoln Ellsworth. an American,
co-leader with Amundsen and also
an observer in one of the planes.
Hjalmer Riser Larsen. Norwegian.
pilot of one of the machines.
Lief Dietrichsen, Norwegian, pilot
of the other plane.
Oskar Omdahl, Norwegian. mech
anician.

Civil War Vet Shot
In Row. Nav Recover

Londonderry, N. H., June 10
(AP)-Nelson B. Hackett. Is
year old Civil war veteran, shot here
yesterday by Charles S. Gay, "
year old of the Civil war who after
wards committed suicide, may re-
cover from the wounds, which at
first were thought would be fatal.
According to the story told to
the county officials, Gay first shot
Hackett through the head and then
walked into his bedroom and turn
ed the revolver on himself, dy-
ing almost instantly. A disagreement
two weeks ago may have led to
the shooting and the officials in
charge of the case are probing
this version.
DIR. Samuel Cogswell of Derry,
medical referee, who is attending
Hackett, said the mans condition
today was serious and that it would
be a day or two before his con-

BACK TO OLD PLANS

WlScaSSet, Me-, June 1S.-(AP)-
Lieutenant Commander Donald B.
Macmillan and the men who will
accompany him when he sails from
this little port Saturday for the Arc
tic, today went back to the plans
they originally made for the trip
when they learned that Road
Amundsen. Norwegian explorer, had
returned to Spitzbergen.
Announcement that Amundsen
was back with his men brought ex-
pressions Of joy from every member
OF the crews of the ships, the Bow
doin and the Peary, which will carry
the Macmillan expedition north
ward. Each and every man. includ-
ing the scientists who saw in the
relief expedition a possibility that
their trip might be in vain from the
standpoint of research, were willing
to give up all that they had planned
for in order that a fellow explorer
might be saved. Hence the announce
ment had a double significance to
them for they were not only glad
that Amundsen was safe, but glad,
too, that their labors in the interest
of science could go on.
Commander Macmillan heard the
announcement while he was at
Brunswick, just before he addressed
students and alumni of Bowdoin
College, his alma mater. Soon after
his address was over he hurried back
to Wiscasset to again take q hand
in supervising the work OF storing
supplies aboard the two ships. Later
he went to Freeport to the home of
hi sister, Mrs. w. c. Fogg, to pass
his last night with her before start
ing on the trip. Tomorrow night he
will be the honored guest at a din
ner to be given by the State of Maine
in Southport.
Explaining the change n his plans
brought about by the news of
Amundsen's return, Commander
Macmillan said the airplane base of
the expedition now would be estab-
lished at Cape Thomas Hubbard on
the northern end of Axel Heiberg
Island, instead of Cape Columbia.
from which point he had intended
to fly in the navy plane in a search
of Amundsen. Axel Heiberg Island
was first explored by Svendrup. a
Norwegian in 1900. Peary, he said,
saw 1t from a distance once before
that time.
The unknown continent" which
the explorer believes exists In the
Polar Sea, is, if it does exist. not
more than a two hour flight from
Cape Thomas Hubbard, he said. The
ship base of the expedition will be
at Etah, Greenland, as originally
planned, and both the Bowdoin and
the Peary will anchor there. 1t is not
felt that it would be safe to drive
the little vessels any further into
the Arctic waters.
Etah is $50 miles from Cape
Thomas Hubbard and upon arrival
there the planes will fly to the cape
to establish an advance base. Food
and fuel will be transported through
