equipment as would be necessary If
they met with accident or their plane
went dead on the ice. In this event
they plan to remain on the ice and
endeavor to make their way to the

and pack frames loaded with food, etc.
In addition they will have rubber
lied boat capable of accommodating
three or four men and weighing but
three and half pounds, which will be
used to cross open leads if any are en-
countered on the over-ice journey.
Each will be equipped with gun and
ammunition, and in the event of the
food supply becoming exhausted, will
rely upon their weapons for food.
Instructions will be given to the
party remaining at Point Barrow to
not make search for Captain Wilkins
and Eielson in the event of their fail
ure to report in a specified time. Their
plane will be equipped with radio
sending set which will be used as

The sounding equipment to be used
is a light set of the Sonic apparatus,
which is equipped with a detonator
that explodes when the weight strikes
the bottom, which is recorded on a
telephone instrument. In this man

basis of the speed of sound.
Apparatus will also be carried for
obtaining samples of the scaled, as

stated that science had proved that
there were three distinct temperatures
in the Arctic, the lower and upper be-

ALL COMMIT SUICIDE
IN CHINESE VILLAGE
Inhabitants, Impoverished by Ban.
dit Raids, March to River
and Drown.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, June 27.-The
story of how the inhabitants of
whole Chinese village committed sui
eide by drowning sooner than face the
uncertainties of a future Of misery
was told here by Secretary Wilbur of
the Navy in a speech before the New
York Christian Endeavor Conference.
Pointing out how the spirit of hui
man brotherhood had increa sed in the
Western World to the point that re-
lief of the distressed was regarded as
an obvious duty, he added
II was told recently of a case where
the inhabitants of a village in China
were impoverished by a raid of bandits
to such an extent that they saw no
mea of maintaining their food sup
ply. They held a consultation as to
what should be done, and after due
consideration they all decided TO COM
NIT suicide. which was done by march
ing down into the river and drowning.
1t did not occur TO them that any one
would come to their aid or be under
obligation to do So"
He contrasted with this tn immedl-
ate, spontaneous relief offered publicly
in the Mississippi flood and other
American emergencies as showing
the ceiling of human brotherhood en-
gendered by Christian teachings.
