WADE SAYS IT WILL BE RACE
 WITH RUSSIA

NEW YORK, Feb. IS. (P)-Lieut- Leigh Wade told the Associated Press today that his flight will be a race with Russian air squadrons for land north of Alaska and Siberia, whichl may be used as military flying base
 Lieut.. Wade said: Tt is my firm opinion and also of the members of the party that the Bolsheviks plan to beat us in finding a continent in the unchartered seas above Alaska, and those who would stop to think a mili- tary flying base would be possible in the Arctic basin, to within a few days flying distance from most of the important cities in the Northern Hem isphere, the menace of the BoIshivik would be eliminated by such a base
 "In oclsing Wrangell Island, Kam- chatka and the peninsula of northeast ern Siberia to foreigners" Wade con- tinued, "is one of the events which bases my belief the Soviet flyers are planning an expedition. It is declared that this is known in we'll known army circles that the Soviet air fore es have as much equipment and as large personnel as the United States.
 It was said they believed the Rus sians feared the United States would claim Wrangell Island which wOuld make it possible for an intermediate flying base on the route to one we might establish farther north, provid- ed land is found"

Expedition Leaves Campbell's Road house In An Attempt To Make
 the Overland Trail.

NENANA, Feb. IS. (P)-The Smith supply party arrived at Campbells roadhouse last night after having cov- cred forty miles from Nenana in 60 days The expedition left Campbell this morning ill an attempt to make the overland trail to Tolovana. They left three loaded sleds along the trail and are trying to buck through with the seven remaining ones.
 One motor is working poorly and this causes great difficulty in trying to keep the sleds on the trail which is not wide enough to accomodiate the motors.
 The progress of the sleds has been impeded by trees and deep snow It is reported Malcolm Smith tried to prevent Suratt from taking pictures and that a fight nearly ensued. Sur att succeeded in getting several feet of film, and is returning to Nenana
 The weather is clear with the tenn perature twenty below at six o'clock this morning.

Game Commission
 Has Important Role Wilkins Expedition
GAME CHAR WALKER PUTS STRINGENT ORDER INTO EFFECT MAKING TT IMPOSSIBLE
 FOR PARTY TO KILL GAME

JUNEAU, Feb. IS. (AP).-E. P Walker Alaska agent for the United States biological survey has notified the Sandy Smith party that they must secure non-res dent hunting cence before they live off Alaskan wild
 life.
 It is understood the decision will work a hardship on the party since the low bag limit game will probably prohibit the killing of sufficient game for their SUD- plies during the open season. and the possession of
 license does not permit game to be killed during the clos ed season. As the party expects to be in the field during the closed season, cense 1t stated would be of aid in this particular instance Captain Wilkins believed the Alaska law would per init the killing of game for food for the expedition under the provision made for explorers but Walker held sub ect to nonresident hunting license requirements on the ground the party are not bonafide explorers.
