Another American expedition head

to make round-trip fight to the pole.
The expedition is supported by alumni

FOR ARCTIC SEAS
Some Will Seek the Pole or
New Lands, Others Are
Scientific.

New York.-At least six expeditions
hope this summer to reach the North
pole or to find new lands hidden away
In the fields of unknown ice Four
other purely scientific expeditions will
penetrate far into the North.
1t has become almost an interna-
donal race. By land, sea and air, ex-
peditions representing interests In
America, France, Norway, Italy and
Russia will penetrate the regions that
lured countless explorers before them.
A trade route to the east is sought,
a landing place for airplanes near the
North pole, or vast hidden CONT
nent. But the ancient square-rigged
ship of romance has been replaced by
science. Airplanes, dirigibles, flying
boats and motor sledge now play a
vital part.
Commander Byrd's Plans.
The expedition led by Lieutenant
Commander r. e. Byrd plans to blaze
an air route to the pole itself Lieu
tenant Commander Byrd, expects to
land his plane at the pole and be back
in this country before summer ends.
With his ship and airplane crews Sc
lected largely from volunteers from
commissioned and enlisted men of the
naval reserve, Commander Byrd will
depend on a three-engined Fokker
plane to carry him over the icy
wastes at the top of the earth. The
shipping board steamer. Chantier, will
be used by the expedition. which Is
being financed by John D. Rockefeller.
Jr., Thomas F. Ryan, Edsel Ford and
Vincent Astor.
Of the three American expeditions
the first that will take the air under
present plans is that headed by CAPT.
