NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Myron T..
Herrick. United States ambassador
to France, arrived from Paris on
the liner Mauretania today with an
optimistic message on conditions in
France. He said:
THE French people have con-
fdence in the government of Pre-.
mier Poincare.
"They are confident that the plight
Of the franc is not hopeless.
''That it is wrong to say the
French people are inhospitable to-
war Americans and no instance
of insult to Americans has been
brought to any attention.
THAT American tourists, al
though knowing how to enjoy them
selves abroad. in general have con-
Quoted themselves properly"
Herrick said that one Of the great
est influences for the restoration Of
sound financial conditions in France
is the work of the union sacree, the
council of advisers composed of the
leaders of all parties in the country
working for the building up of bet
ter conditions generally.

Argentine Adventurer Will
Look for Signs of Other
Explorers.

BUENos AIRES, Aug. 17.-or-
ganization of a new South Pole air
expedition to be initiated next
October, has been announced here
by Anton Pauly, Austrian engineer
and explorer, whose intention is to
conduct the first airplane trip to the
bottom Of the earth.
Pauly plans to start from Buenos
Aires in a sailing ship near the end
of October in order to make the coast
OF Graham land about the middle of
November. According to plan, the
ship will land the expedition on
Wandel Island at IS degrees south
latitude, where the primary base Of
operations will be established.
The next step will be the estab-
lishment of another base 10 degrees
farther south. Eight trips by air.
plane are calculated to be sufficient
to transfer food and fuel supplies to
this point, which will be 800 miles
nearer the pole. Following the estab.
1ishment Of this last base the party
will digress temporarily from its
prime goal to make explorations in
the Weddell Sea and to Charcot
Land
To Make Dash
Following these explorations a
final preparatory move will be made
to a point at so degrees south
latitude, 600 miles nearer the pole
than the previous base. This point
is calculated to have an altitude Of
5000 feet above sea. level, and from
hare the Ayers will make their dash
to the South Pole, a fight Of 900
miles.
According to Pauly's statement
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-08-17

the pole is a plateau 10000 feet
high. He states: 1--WE will stop at
the polo long enough to make
necessary observations and to try to
find messages left there by Captain
Scott in 1922. We shall then con.
tinue the fight to Wales Bay, where
we hope to find the deposit left by
Amundsep. This distance is about
$50 miles, making the whole fight
from our so degree base nearly 1900
miles.
Two Passengers
In the actual fight across the
polar region Pauly plans to carry
two passengers beside himself, a
pilot. observer and mechanic. Two
months food supplies and equip
ment for a sledge expedition to be
used in case Of accident to the plane
will complete the cargo carried on
the flight
No time limit has been set for the
expedition which Is expected to end
at Melbourne, Australia. Pauly is
confident Of his success and is lay.
ing careful plans ENSURE against
mistakes in preparation. He has
long been associated in ventures of
exploration and research.
Pauly is the author of several
volumes on geographic conditions in
little known parts Of South America
and has long since established him
self as a. leading mining engineer in
Chilean and Bolivian fields.
