ARRIVAL OF NORGE
/. IS COLORFUL SIGHT
Like Huge, Gray Fish Dirigi-
BILE Floats Between Peaks
in Kings Bay Fjord.
BY RUSSELL ID. OWEN,
Special Correspondent OF The star,


KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May s.
Far off over the water of Kings Bay,
black under lowering clouds, tiny
shape appeared yesterday morning as
the transpolar dir!gible Norge OF the
Amundsen Ellsworth Mobile expedition
swept around the fore!anG and with
whirrlng motors sailed up the fJord
between the white mountains.
Snow had been falling all night,
but as the Norge appeared the clouds
parted and u yellow light gloWed
behind the Jagged peaks and shone
on the elistening sides Of the alrshlp'
which slowly grew to the proper
tions Of huge, gray fish, swimming
through the thin morning air.
1t was the moment for which the
leaders OF the expedition had long
waited and the scene fitted the event.
The di,igibIa ffoated UP the ford In
a setting such as no airshIp ever had.
This huge fabric OF mans hands usu'
ally dwarfs whatever it is near, but
against the gold and white peaks,
rising with calm majesty from the
water and making 81 long corridor
through which the airship moved,
seemed a puny thing.
Arctic's Strangest Sight.
The Three Crowns. the pyramldal
peaks which are the great landildrh n >
Of Kings Bay. frowned down upon
this invasion of their serenity, ana
the edge Of the glacier, rising 200 feet
shone cold and blue III the morning
light. Swaying gently. the purrlns
airship floated into this silent amphi-
theater Of the Morse gods, making
the strangest picture ever seen III
the Arctic.
There was queer impression OF
unreal!ty in the approach OF the
Norge. Had II not been for the
sound of her motors she might have
been a monster never before seen by
man. wandering in from the unknown
North, for nothing else i'll the whole
landscape, unless il was the American
plane. resting like a huge bird before
il flight, even family suggested the
conquest Of man over nature. Ihis
il a country OF raw elements where
humans tread softly and with precau-
tions against the silent menace OF
the North. aud the airship seemed
more linked with the unknown than
with the little black figures awaiting
here IN tho snow.

Arrival Dramatic Incident.

The arrival OF the Norge had been

all the more because ii was uninten-
tional. After her arrival at Vadso
there was long silence, almost moth
ing being heard Then, late last
night. word came that the ship had
left that desolate spot and was head
ed over the Polar Sea. The snow was
coming down in big flakes then and at
times ii WAS impossible for Kings Bay
to see the mountains. The Italians
particularly Prof. Mobile. brother OF
the Norge's pilot, were anxious about
the weather. The barometer went
downward. slowly but steadily.
Then came the long, silent night
with no word directly from the air
ship. But in the little red radio sta
ton faint signals could be heard, call
ing from behind the white curtain of
snow. Somewhere out there. over the
Arctic Ocean. where no dicigible had
ever been before. the great craft wing.

The signal OF the direction finder,
singing up and down the scale, were
the only communication with the ship
from here all night, Slowly they grew
stronger. About o'clock this morn

.DAR|AC SUGGESTS
BANKING PLAN TO
SETTLE WAR DEBTS

PARIS, Oct 23 P)--The possibility
Of the creation Of an international
banking organization, to which all
Europe would furnish the necessary
resources for the paying off of war
debts on installments, is uggssted In
a. statement given today to Tho
Associated Press by Adrien Darlac
president of the special debt com
mission OF the chamber of deputies.
M Dariac issued the statement as
an addendun to an interview accorded
yesterday to a correspondent for
The Associated Press in which he
spoke of the report on French war
debts which will be submitted to tho
finance committee next week. The
message, frank to the point Of blunt
ness, he made clear was his personal
opinion on the DEBT question and not
his opinion as president of the spe-
cal commission.
"The time of loving one another
has passed. The time to pay has ar
rived All right NJ. Dariac's mes
sage said.
There were two ways of settling
the debt" M Dariac wrote. 1T could
be placed on plane of justice and
amity, or it could be looked at from
purely the business viewpoint. The
latter method has prevailed BY the
FIRST method The nation, which has
always protested amity toward France
could have shown that it had not
forgotten right and could have reg
ulated the debts It's the American
soldiers who fell in France would
have wished.
"By the second method, America
would forget her past and ours; she
would estimate that budgets are not
balanced with glorious memories; she
would leave to their eternal peace
the shades Of Washington, Lafayette,
Eochambeau and those Of her SOL
Giers who fell for the same ideal as
French soldiers. She would present
her bill as business men. There
would no longer be peoples with
their. traditions, sympathies, history
and common interests There woulo
be a tradesman and ban6er-America
and client debtor-France. 1t Is
that method that has prevailed.

We will pay it u.der certain legit.-
mate reserves and on one condition.
