Will Make Typographical and Geological Survey of Region Directly North of the Vast Columbia Ieefeld, the
 Geographical Apex of the American Continent
From This TriOceanc Dvide Comprising no Square Miles of Ice Flow Waters Which Eventually Reach
 the Atlantic the Pacific and the Arctic Ocean

Pass, which in most atlases is danked by Mounts Brown and Hooker, the legendary 16, 900 it. giants of the continent.
 The pass formed a route for the early fur traders and travel CTS. The Iroquois, Assiniboine and Piegan Indians had used 1t for the west traverse earlier. It constituted the chief route for the Northwest Company and the Hudson Bay Company transeon- tinental trade.
 The region has been entered by several other expeditions and some mountaineering attempts made successfully, but scientific data is incomplete. The Alberta British Columbia boundary sur yey covered a small strip along the Continental Divide, 1917-21.
 The other main object of the party will be to ascend as many of the peaks as they can. The region contains about 25 un- many of them unnamed, peaks over 10, 200 feet high, the average of the range. Six days will be spent in an attempt on the Tsar, a difficult and nearly inaccessible peak well over n, : 900 feet, at the south end of the Clemenceau field. This southern region is unmapped. It is pos sible that ascents will be made of the four 12,00O foot peaks of the range, a feat as yet unaccom- plished by any one in the history of Canadian mountaineering.

THE NEIMI FAMILY

The following letter has been received from the Aberdeen Chapter of the Red Cross Mr. Donald Sinclair,
 The City Store,
 Wrangell, Alaska. My dear Mr. Sinclair:
 1 cannot tell you how grateful Mrs. Neimi was to receive your letter that $111 had been raised for her among her husbands friends in Wrangell. Mrs. Neimi's funds had been entirely exhaust ed and she had only groceries enough to last two days when she received your letter that friends of MT. Neimi were send ing this gift of money. Mrs. Neimi and Andrew appreciate this help very much and will write to Mr. Pellinen. They will not be able to write to each one who contributed individually and 1 wonder if you would thank them when you see the people who subscribed to this fund.
 1 am sure that this money will be sufficient to last three or four months and possibly some of Mr. Neimi's fishing gear can be sold by that time.
 1 am taking up the matter of getting Mrs. Neimi a pension from the Mothers Aid Depart ment to help in the support of her three children. This pension may not be granted for a couple of months.
 Thanking you again for your kindly interest in the family.
 Very sincerely yours,
 Harriet Seely,
 Executive Secretary.

THERE is struggle going on inside the British
cabinet between those who think it wise to pur-
sue moderate policy towards the Cantonese, and
the blood and iron element that trusts to the sharp
sword rather than to the slippery tongue Both are
thoroughly imperialistic. Both will defend the in
terests Of the empire with equal enthusiasm and
loyalty. The differences between them are over the
question Of the best way to preserve British inter-

language to his enemies. Churchill is a sabre-rat-
tier Neither Of them considers the question of peace

may help imperial interests.

PRODUCING this item said: Mr.. Chairman.
During the Danish occupation and ac-
cording to Danish law SANDER was a
civil case, it was not a criminal of
fence, and it entailed a civil action
in the courts to bring in a charge of
SANDER against any person. Since the
introduction OF the Code in this island
SANDER became a criminal offence so that
now any person can 90 into the Police
Court and file q complaint for SANDER
against another. 1t has been found that
since the introduction Of the Code. as
years go by, these cases OF Islander have
increased and most Of them have been Of
q trivial nature and founded upon no
basis. A great many of them have had
to be dismissed by the respective judges
IN both Jurisdictions and the result OF
tbis has been that it entails considerable
work on the Police Department as we'll as
the Courts in conducting these inVestiga-
tons, AID when the case comes before
the Judge it is discovered that there are
little if any justifiabIe grounds for bring
ing IN the charge. 1t has been thought
advisable that perhaps a small fee of
Francs 500 could be charged persons
coming with such complaints as this
would and IN minimizing the number oil
these cases coming before the courts.
have introduced this bill not for the pur-
pose of reducing the work Of the Police

witnesses who are obliged sometimes to
come from long distances in the country
IN these flmsy cases and who in many in
stances lose their time and receive no
remuneration for it. That is principally
the object of this amendment, and [ hope
that the members of this Council will
take these facts into consideration and
adopt this amendment and place it on
the list Of court fees, so that persons
bringing IN criminal charges to the court
pay Francs 800, and if the charge of

CONGRESS MAY GIVE
/ LIBERAL AIR FUNDS
More Sympathy Than Ever
Toward Requests Indicated
Following Big Flights.
Hy the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
, IS Congress, absent from Washington
during the period that American air
men have added bright pages to aerial
history, probably will return 10 the
Capital this Fall with an ear more
sympathetically inclined than ever
toward requests for funds for aviation
purposes.
While the legislators last session
provided more literally than usual in
authorizing fiYe-Near building pro
grams for the Army and Navy Air
Services and also in creating Assist
ant Secretaries in the War. Navy and
Commerce Departments to look after
aviation activities. it is expected the
needs of aviation will he studied more
carefully than ever this Winter.

class fighting planes for the Navy at
the end Of three years. and the other
looking to provision for 1900 planes
for the Army at the end of the same
period.
From expressions that have been
made here and there about the coun-
try on the Lindbergh, Chamberlin-
Levine, Byrd and the Hawaiian
flights, 1t is obvious that members of
Congress have been paying close at
tention to what has been going on in
the air. aud those who have spoken
have had only words of praise and
admiration.
Acting Chairman James OF the
House military committee, at the
to- aIc ;racv NJ ton
tour that contemplates a visit to all
Army aviation posts along the Pa
cific Coast, Hawaii, Panama and the
flying fields of the Southwest. He
said before departing that his trip
was for the purpose of studying
needs 70 the Army Air Service with
q view of drafting legislation for the
coming Congress.
Early Meeting Likely.
Probably several weeks before the
regular converting date for Congress
IN December, Chairman Madden will
call together the House appropria-
tions committee to begin it's annual
provision for the Governments fiscal
needs. AT that time a complete story
can be expected on the workings of
+, the first year of the two five-year
building programs, and the views of
Army and Navy officers as to it's
merits and the needs, if any, to sup
plement the programs effectiveness.
During the hearings three sessions
ago by the House aircraft investigat-
ing committee and later by the Presi-
dents Air Board there was no dis
position shown by Army and Navy
officers called for testimony to ac-
cuse Congress of failure to provide
financially for aircraft development.
As result of this, and in view of
the recent achievements of Ameri-
can flyers, it is believed here that
the air officers of the Government
evil be given attentive hearing should
they present any request for supple
.menting aircraft appropriations.
