EXPERT HAS HIGH HOPES.
Aide in 1920 Says Flyers
May Get Back on Foot.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May %
P).-The Danish naval captain, God
fred Hansen, companion to Amund
sen and second in command of Ills
1920 Arctic expedition on the sloop
Gjoa, today expressed the opinion
that Amundsen would not attempt to
land at the North Pole, but would
drop the Norwegian flag there from
his flying boat.
Capt. Hansen said he thought
Amundsen's chances of success de-
pended entirely upon weather condi-
tions and his gasoline supply. He said
that undoubtedly the most favorable
possible time had been selected for
the start of the fight, but even so,
and even with the best of luck. he
believed the expedition would have
very little gasoline surplus.
Capt. Hansen said that II Amund-
sen found no level Ice field near the
pole he might land at the nearest
level stretch and walk from there to
the pole. This would requireA some
time, OF course, and theref6he. said

bility of Amundsen discovering new
land.
Authorities here did not expect di-
rect news from the expedition until
the party can return to Danes Island,
where the auxiliary ships now are
waiting, or until the explorers can
reach some other place on SpitZbergen
and get in touch with the radio station
at Green Harbor.
Favorable Weather.
Weather reports continue to indi-
cate favorable atmospheric conditions.
Speculation in newspapers here in
cludes the expression by some jour
nails of the conviction that the Nor
wegian flag is at this moment flying
from the North Pole"
1t is believed by some that should
the planes fail and Amundsen and his
party be forced to hike to Cape Co.
lumbia, they will then attempt to
reach Etah, Greenland. the nearest
inhabited place, and spend the Winter
there, or at Discovery Harbor, where
Peary spent the Winter of 1910, and
where there is a depot Of food and
enough game to sustain them. In
such a case, according to some theories
here, the expedition may reach Thule,
Greenland, by the Spring of 1926, and
POSSIBLY return nome Dy SlediIleF lIOlL
there during the Summer.
Must Remain Year.
Should Amundsen be obliged to
land near the North Pole, Capt.
Hansen said he would probably at
tempt to proceed to Cape Columbia,
on Grinnell Land, northwest of
Greenland, and in that event would
have to remain there for a year, be-
cause the crossing from Cape CO.
lumbia to Greenland Is over an ex-
tremely difficult and dangerous part
of the Arctic seas, with much open
water. The journey from the North
Pole to Cape Columbia also Is most
difficult, Capt. Hansen said.
An actual landing at the pole from
the flying boats would be most dan
gerous, Capt. Hansen said, and the
restart would be still more hazard
Gus.
Another prominent Danish Arctic
explorer, Peter Freuchen, expressed
the opinion that Amundsen would
descend If he discovered what seemd
to be a good landing at the pole. In
the event of foggy or cloudy weather,
Freuchen said, he believed Amundsen
would desire to remain there until the
sun came out again so he could make
scientific observations and accurately
fix his location.

Thief Enters Over Transom and

A thief entered the store of Leo
Giuliani, 929 Tenth street, through
the transom this morning shortly be-
fore daybreak and rif1ed the cash

with cigarettes.
The burglar left by the front door,
accidentally touching an electric buz-

fingers were left on pipe in the store.
Theft of a diamond ring valued at
$3.50 was reported by Rebecca Lee,

disappeared from bureau drawer the
past week.
Raymond Swami. 81 o street south

MAJ. EDGERTON NOW
is CHIEF ENGINEER
Promoted From Assistant, With
Federal Power Commission, Sue
ceeding Col William Kelly.

Maj. Glen E. Edgerton. Corps of
Engineers, today was assigned to
duty as chief engineer of the Federal
Power Commission in this city. He
will relieve Col. William Kelly, Corps
of Engineers, who has held that office
since the organization of the COM
mission. Maj. Edgerton was his chief
assistant, and is perfectly familiar
with the business of the commission.
Col. Kelly recently applied for re-
tirement under the 80 years service
clause of the retirement law, in or
der that he might accept employment
with a private corporation interested
in the development of water power at
Niagara Falls. His application, which
was subject to the approval of the
President, was denied, however, on
the general ground that the Govern
ment could not dispense with his
services at present. Therefore, in
stead of being retired he was given a
few months leave of absence and 1t is
intimated that he may conclude to
resign his commission in the Army.
Col. Kelly has filled many important
assignments in the Engineer Corps.
Several years ago he was attached to
the office of the Engineer Commits.

LORD FRENCH DIED
AS FAME D|MMED
Controversy Was Raging
Over Strategy in France.
Ignored by Asquith.
By the Associated Press.


DEAL, England, May 23.-The
death yesterday of the Earl of Ypres.
who as Field Marshal French was
British World War figure, came at
time when his great reputation was
somewhat under a cloud and Whlle
controversy ragged over his military
strategy in France.
The controversy concerning the Earl
of Ypres has been before the British
public particularly since he published
his book on the war entitled 1914,
which contained much outspoken and
adverse criticism of his subordinates
and some French generals and which
did not except Lord Kitchener.
The argument has been especially
bitter concerning the battle of lie
Cateau and Gen. SmithDorrien's part
in that battle.
Smith-Dorrien has just published a
book making a spirited defense against
the Earl Ypres' attacks on him.
1t is considered coincidence that
only a week ago in a public speech
Lord oxford, formerly Herbert II. AS
auth, paid tribute TO the five great
men of the war, Lords Haig, Jellicoe,
Kitchener, Gen. Sir John Cowans
and Ex-Prime Minister David Lloyd
George, but made no mention OF the
Earl of Ypres. This significant omis-
sion was much commented upon at
the time.
The Earl of Ypres' command of the
"Old Contemptibles," as Great Brit
aims first small eXpeditionary force
to France became known, will, how
ever, always be remembered with
gratitude by his countrymen. There
is also the memory of his long and
great services to his country in many
fields of public endeaVor, including his
service as Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land during the troublesome times
after the end of the war until the
creation of the Irish Free State. 1t
was during this period that an at
tempt was made TO assassinate him.
The Earl of Ypres will be succeeded
in his title by his eldest son, Niscount
French, who formerly was a captain

indicated that he had some "informa-

If the law was being violated at the

WEATHER CONTINUES GOt -
Oslo, Norway, Reports Atmospheric
Conditions Favorable.

OSLO, Norway, May % R).-The
Shipping Gazette reports that the
weather conditions for Capt. Amuno-
sens polar flight continue very favor
able and that there Is every hope OF
the expedition returning safely.
A dispatch to the paper says the
temperature now is mild. The steamer
Farm is not in communication with
the other expedition ship, the Hobby,
as the latter is not equipped with
wireless.
Those with Arctic experience or
other expert knowledge believed that
Amundsen's continued absence indi-
Gated that he had landed at the Pole
or had discovered an intermediate
body of land upon which he had de-
scended for closer investigation and
more accurate location.
In either case, it was pointed out.
he might have encountered dif1culties
on attempting again to take to the
air.
Norwegian press comments agree in
the view that Amundsen must have
landed at the Pole. The newspapers
argue that otherwise by now he would
have returned to Spitzbergen.
Doubt Land Discovery.
Capt. Otto Sverdrup, Norwegian
Arctic explorer, said he did not think
the discovery of new land by Amundsen
was probable. He expressed the opin-
ion that there is no land around the
North Pole or in the unknown polar
basin, recalling that Peary did not see
land around the region of the eighty
eighth degree north. He said that in
his opinion the polar basin and the
region of the North Pole are made up
of open water and of drifts of ice,
sometimes level and sometimes broken

explorer, expressing q contrary view,

Capt. Amutdsen Had
No Plans to Return
By Way of Alaska
By the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK, May 23.-Capt.
Amundsen had no intention of
returning from his North Pole
expedition via Alaska. This
statement was made today by
Loring Pickering. general man
ager of the North American
Newspaper Alliance, who gave
out a cabIegram he received on
May from the captain, bearing
OH this point.
MIR. Pickering issued the state
ment because it has been pub
lished that the delay I'm hearing
from the progress of the flight
may be due to a continuation of
the party across the Arctic
region in an effort to reach
Point Barrow. The cablegram
read as follows:
Despite rumOrs, under no cir
cumstance do we contemplate
continuing our fight to Alaska"
At 11:30 today no message
had been received by the Al
lance as to the progress of the
flight since the announcement
of the departure on Thursday
afternoon.

weeks need not necessarily mean that
Amundsen had failed.
The Explorer Freuchen said he
thought 1t possible that even if
Amundsen had landed in the polar
regions he might be able to make his
way back to SpitZbergen this Sum-
mer without the use of his flying
boats.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May %
@.-Copenhagen was still without
news of Amundsen at o'clock this
morning, but there were no signs of
anxiety here over the safety of the in
trepid explorer and his companions.
1t is realized that his final decision
to carry an increased fuel supply in
stead of wireless apparatus makes
news impossible until his return to
