like most picture portrayals of COM

Col. Mobile finding 1t better to fly to
Spitzbergen from Rome.
| The first route chosen for the ship
was the following: Rome. France, Pull
ham in Norfolk, England; Trondhjem
Norway; Kings Bay. SpitZbergen. In
TrOndhjem and Kings Bay moOring
masts had to he built.
This was the first plan when Lieut..
Riser Larsen. on behalf of Mr.. Ellis
worth and myself. published it at
the annual meeting of the NOrwegia n
Aero Club in September last year.
But even before this meeting the plan
was known by different persons and
it was with great pleasure that almost
it the same time we could publish the
plans we could publish the names of
the members OF the expedition. The
members of the last one declared that
they would so with us except one of
the motorists. Dietrichson resigned
later on for private reasons. Both
MIR. Ellsworth and myself regretted
very much his decision. Dietrichson
being very slillful aviator and a
man we could trust on every occasion.

declared that they would so with us:
also Lieut.. Horeen. who last year had
zone with Us to SpitZbergen as pilot
in reserve. and J'rederik Ramm, who
in 1925 had been the journalist of the
expedition. / had, too, great pleasure
in that several of the crew of the
Maude. that had just returned from
her three year stay in the ice. Joined
the new expedition. There was the
leader of the expedition, Capt. Oscar
Visiting, who had been with me at
the South Pole and on the expedition
through the northeast passage in
191S.1921 and the Swedish meteoro-
logist Fem Malmsren, and also the
wireless operator on the Maude.
Olinkin. asked to go with us. How
ever. the last named did not go over
the Pole but left us in SpitZbergen
for reasons that will be mentioned
later.
During the Winter the wireless eX-
pert Capt. in the Norwegian Army,
Birger Gottwaldt. engaged to join the
expedition as leader of the wireless
service on board. In the agreement
with the Italian government it was
fixed that besides Col. Mobile. who
should pilot the ship. five Italian
motorists and rissers should go with
MS. but they were designated for the
first time the day before we left SpitZ-
bergen.
When the ship was rebuilt for the
ira nspolar flight and was ready 10
pass under the Norwegian nag, 1t was
fixed that it should be named the
Norge Uhe Norway. During the
Winter the work was continued on
the basis here mentioned. and how
the expedition at last was organized

later section.

with Riiser-Larsen and Dietrichson,

! ators in the Norwegian countries.
| When with the airship at great
altitude we few over the Ice on this
trip. he several times remarked look
ing down on the ice: ''Down there 1t

, Same Lesson From the Maud.
AS mentioned before, the Maud car
ried q small turti-s machine on her
/ drift in the ice There they met the
- me experiences as we did in l32a
when IN another part of Polar basin
they tried To fly. II WAS also difficult
for the small plane to find places
where they could start and land. and
if before We started in 1925 we had
known what they already i'm 1872"
knew on the Maud about flying c"ndi'
Ions for airplanes in Arctic ice. we
should not have been so optimistic
when we started from SpitZbergen.
During our more than three weeks
stay in the polar ice we did not think
much about the new expedition we
already had formulated before we left
Spitzbergen. We had more than
enough to do with working out
starting place SO we could get back to
Spitzbergen again. But once back we
recommended the discussion of plans
And. with the experiences met on our
Xamination flight. ii was the most
natural thing that we should give up
the airplane, as | already have men
toned. and without hesita tion We de
cided upon the airShip.
Plans for the 1926 Flight.
have already pointed out some Of
the advantages Of the airships for
polar exploring over greater distances.
An airship has very big flying
range, its lifting capacity Is also much
greater than an airplan and one of
the rea sons that we did not in 1925
utilize an airShip was that II is more
expensive than an airplane. An air
ship expedition also costs much more
money to carry out, because the ship
requires more precautions than the
plane.
When on our return to SpitZbergen
We decided to make the transpolar
flight in 1926 in an airship. II was
very hardy decision. We understood
that the new expedition would cost a
big sum of money. and that the diff
cllties that several times had threat
ened the 1925 expedition would he

back on the different expeditions j
have taken part in, the last one,
seems to me unbelievable. When I
started exploring in the polar regions
we had to utilize the same means that
had been used for generations. And
now, 80 years afterward, science and
technic have made it possible in
days to explore re,.iOns bigger than
could have been explored i'm the same
number of years before. The risk of
flying over ten thousands of square
miles In few hours today is no
greater than before to go in the ice
with ship. Due to the wireless the
explorer today can fix the best mo-
ment for starting through the air. and
due to the wireless he can. durin@
the fight, choose the route where the
Gather conditions are best. Even
in a fog he can continue his fight
by radio bearings. Before. the world
did not get news from him after he
had passed the frontier between the
known and the unknown: now he is-
enabled to tell the world how his ex-
peditiOn goes on from hour to hour.
And after his return. due to modern
photography and moving pictures. he
can give much richer impressions of
what he has seen than ever before.
But the modern explorer who uti-
Lies all the inventions Of his own
time has not to forget that before
him for centuries others have gone
into the unknown and returned with
observations and knowledge he builds
upon. The difference between ex-
ploring i'm the Arctic and the Ant
arctic before and in our time there
fore is only an apparent one. The
methods have changed But today,
as before, the results of the different
expeditions are based upon the re-
suits of previous ones. If the modern
explorer succeeds in making new dis
coveries he only pays the debt of
modern times tn the generations
which have disappeared.

small in comparison with those that
probably would meet an airship ex-
pedition.
! However. we formulated the plans
on Spitzbergen and on the voyage
back to Norway. Generally speaking.
it is these plans that are now carried
| out. The only big change made
concerns the transport of the airship
from Europe to SpitZbergen. Even
before we entered into negotiations
with the Italian government to buy
| the ship that now has brought us over
| the North Pole basin. We had fixed
our attention on a ship of this type as
the best fitted for a transpolar flight.
! AT that time we did not think that
The ship should fly from Rome to
Kings Bay. Our first pla n was to buy
| or hire 14.00oton Stca amer. load the
airship on boa rd the stea mer. without
gas in the balloon. and in that way
take il up to Spitzhergen. There our
Intentions were to fill il with gas and
start for Point Barrow as soon as
weather conditions were favorable.
Aero Club Adopts the Plans.
hn our return to Norway from
Spitzbergen we Immediately addressed
the Norweeia A'ro club and told it's
administration about our new pa ms.
asking II if the Aero club again would
undertake the ma ma ging Of n polar
flight. As we had hoped. the admins
tration OF the Aero club answered
affirmatively. and knowing in what a
brillia mt manner the club had carried
out it's first task, we almost considered
the expedition as secured after TINS
reply. A small committee was ap-
pointed, with the president, Mr..
ThommeSSen, Lieut.. Col. Sverige and
Engineer Brryn as members. and
these started the preparations at
once. When Lieut.. RiiserLarsen was
not occupied elsewhere for the expedi-
ton. he joined the committee.
The plan was formulated and ii re-
mained only to procure the money
that was necessary and to get the
aifship. The Aero club addressed the
Italian government asking if it could
buy one of it's ships constructed and
deSis ned by Col. t'mberto Mobile.
The government answered that il
would sell the ship To the Aero club
with pleasure.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (AP)-Whisp-
erings of discord which have accom-
panied the effort 70 raise Il $5,O0O,OOO

ferers eliminated today in flat
charge by John Barton Payne. chair
man of the American Red Cross,
that Florida officials and real estate
men had practically destroyed" the
campai gn by repeated attempts to
belittle reports Of damage and suf-
fering.
Despite these efforts, which were
attributed to Governor John W. Mar
tin, Mayor E. c. Romfh of Miami and
others, Chairman Payne said he felt
duty bound to carry on the drive
for funds and appealed to the coun-
try to continue to help. little
more than $3OOO,OOO has been col
lected.
In the face of the efforts to
minimize the storm losses Payne as
serted that Red Cross officials in
Florida had reported the greatest
need for relief since the San Francisco
earthquake and fire, listing 5000
homes as totally destroyed and $4,000
families poverty stricken.
The Red Cross chairinan's views
were given in an exchange of tele-
grams with C. c. Pinckney, chairma n
of the Richmond, Va, Red Cross
chapter and in telegrams and corre-
spondence between himself ana Mayor
Rompf. In addition James L. Fieser,

a report to headquarters declared
that relief work has been greately
retarded by persistent reports that

Cross does not exist

are to arrive in Douglas at p. m.
October 81 it was learned Friday,
Clark will address public meeting
at the Majestic theatre on the evening
of Ills arrival and from present indica-
tions record attendance is antici-
pated.
Accompanying Judge Clark on his
visit to the city will be A. H. Gale,
candidate for attorney general; Jean
Thompson, candidate for superinten-
dent of public instruction; r L.. STALL
ings candidate for state mine inspec-
tor; and r. A. Kirk, candidate for cor
poration commissioner.
Addressing large gathering in
Globe on Friday, Judge Clark set forth
at length his position on the Colorado ;
river development problems and de-
clared that the present state admins
tratian had retarded steps toward early
development by making the economic
problem a political football and OBJ
structing plans for conference and
agreement between Arizona, Califor-
MIA and Nevada to establish Arizona $
rights in the river. He said the pres
ent administration had no plan or de-
ve1opment to offer and while marking
time was imperiling states rights by
permitting California and millionaire
owners of Mexican lands to take water
idly flowing through Arizona by law
of prior appropriation and beneficial
use.
Clark stated his belief that Arizona
owns the bed of the river within her
borders that state controls use of
waters of river except for navigation,
that no dam can be constructed touch
ing Arizona soil without consent ot
this state that power developed on the
river within the state shall be subject
to unrestricted control of state, that
royalty and taxes thereon shall belong
to state, that Nevada should be allotted
not to exceed 900, 1000 acre feet and that
the remainder of the flow should be
divided between Arizona and Califor-
MIA on basis fully protecting Arizona's
paramount rights, that any proposed
agreement shall not be binding upor
Arizona until ratified by congress ant
the people OF this state and that there
shall be no ratlflcatlon OF the Colo'
rado river compact until after sucl
agreement shall become effective.
He favored steps toward effectine
sstaeb agreement at an early date tC
stop appalling economic waste repre-
sented by inaction of the present ad
