WHALE SOON TO BE VANISHING
 MYSTERY OF GREAT WATERS
Steward Gateway.)

When hescalf whale is harpooned, thet mother will "stick around" and herself falls victim to the. deadly har- poon gun, but even in it's dying struggles the calf will try to- snuggle up ,at it's mothers neck to find out what all this sterrible business is about. And. furthermore, the seas will soon be. swept clean of whales if they go on harpooning them at the present gate, because the decrease in catch from year to year is becoming so noticeable that whalermen are be- ginning. to cast about for some other occupation. The Port Hebron fleet of three vessels took, in255s whales dur ing the season.. which, added to the l65 taken from the Aleutian. waters, brings the total up to APO whales taken this year by the North Amer ieap Pacific Whaling Company with it's fleet of seven boats.
 These facts were learned from sail DTS, on the whaier .Aberdeen,, Captain Alfred Peterson, which made brief stay in the port of Seward on Sunday at the Standard Oil dock for ,refuel- ing. and which gave way to the Moran of the same fleet, which also came in for oil and then departed southward. The Tanganek.. of the Hebron fleet, wept out direct from the whaling grounds. The other four whaling sehooners from the Akutan station were in here about week ago..
 The Aberdeen took go whales, the Moran got 80, and the. Tanganek caught 10.
 Nobody knows how long the life span of a whale is, the sailors say. and unless acalf is at, least 50 feet long they don't like to shoot the harpoon into it. Of. course, if the calf is still suckling. the mother is right there, and if they harpoon the mother the calf sticks around in bewilderment until theY have. tostake, him in too,

ROME, July 5.-The dramatic story
of how the North Pole dirigible Italia
met It's tragic fate on May IS while re-
turning 20 SpitZbergen from the North
Pole is revealed In new official report
which has been received from Gen. Um-
berto Mobile.
This report admits of the theory that
the Ttalia's gas bag caught fire after the
stern compartment, in which nine men,
including Gen. Mobile, were working,
had dropped upon the Ice. At the same
time the general said he believed that
the column of dense black smoke which
the survivors of his group saw arising
might have been caused by the burning
of fuel reservoirs which had fallen or
been thrown overheard purposely. In
this case he felt that the six men car
ried off in the bag might still be safe.
Men Hurled on Ice.
The general reported that at the mo-
ment of the catastrophe he feared some
of the groups of valves might have re-
manned open because of ice and ordered
Renato Alessandrini. envelope attend
ant. to verify the state of the valves
in the rear of the dirigible. Alessandrini
FASTENED off, but had time to 60 but a
few yards before the occupants OF the
rear compartment were hurled upon the
ice below.
Thereafter rejecting after the fall"
Gen. Mobile continues, II came to ex-
clude the possibility of gas escaping
from the valves and considered 1t much
more probable that the bags were torn,
several circumstances leading me to
think so. That being the case 1t is UNI
how the dirigible discharg-
ing in its shock with the ice more
than two tons of weight in persons
and materials. momentarily lightened
and rose up. In fact, we saw 1t fly a
prey to the winds at an angle of ITO de-
greeS, and soon after 1t disappeared
among the clouds.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the Italia was able to remain in the
air only short time, because as 1t con-
tinued to lose gas it must have de-
scended Moreover, at the moment of
the shock the motorist. Lieut.. Ettore
Arduino, was seen to pass along the
dirigibleiS beam. He regarded US with
stupefied eyes, but was absolutely I'M
harmed. In view Of his experience,

scent. In that case one could hope that
the dirigible might have fallen without

might be safe.

RESCUE SHIP NEAR
ITALIA SURVIVORS
Only so Niles Separate Six
Marooned Men From Arc
tic Vessel.
BY the Associated Press.


KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, July S.
Fifty miles of pack ice today separated
the five marooned members of the Italia
crew and Lieut.. Lundborg. Swedish
flyer. from the Russian ice breaker
Krassin attempting to rescue them
The huge masses of ice halted the
Krassin in its advance, but in the
meantime the castaways were drifting
nearer the vessel
Fog and adverse weather continued
to hamper. efforts to take the men of
the ice by airplane. A new effort to
pick them up with light moth plane
will be made from Esmarck Island, 9
miles from thir reported position. The
tri-motored Swedish plane Upland
will fly to the island to establish base
for the operation:
One flyer who had been among the
missing was safe today. The Soviet
aviator Babushkin, who left his base
ship, the ice breaker Maligin, Friday,
returned to the vessel after harrow
ing five days experience with wind
and icebergsN Shortly after leaving the
ship he had run into head winds which
finally forced him to descend in the sea
so miles north of Hope Island. There
his seaplane was in constant danger
of being crushed by icebergs, Finally
he managed to take of again and found
the Maligin.
In the meantime, search for Roald
Amundsen and the five men missing
with him was being made by ships be-
tween Spitzbergen and Norway, An at
tempt to confirm rumors that fishermen
had found the missing men failed when
the Italian seaplane Marina ] was fore
ed back to Tromsoe by bad weather
after starting for North Cape.

MOBILE ADMITS TTALIA'S GAS
BAG MAY HAVE CAUGHT FIRE
Commander Report Mentions Cloud Of
Smoke Observed After Dirigible
Had Broken Up.

there is no doubt that he must have
tried to cause a descent OF the bag as
rapidly as possible, knowing that the
wind was taking the dirigible far from
the earth
BIASED on these three considerations,
I concluded that the Italia must have
been able to remain In the air only
about a half hour at the most, and at
the speed of the wind could not have
been blown more than 20 or 30 kilo-
meters.
Fear Bag Caught Fire.
Several days after the disaster I
learned from my comrades ctrcum-
stances appearing very grave to me.
Twenty minutes after the drop several
of them had seen on the horizon toward
the east high column of dense black
smoke. In the discussion of that cir
cumstance the hypothesis prevailed
that the bag In falling had caught fire.
In that case there would be no hope
that any of our comrades could escape
death.
Il ought to admit that given our
condition. which In those first days we
Judged absolutely desperate, the fate
we supposed had befallen our mates OF
being killed Immediately seemed much
better than our own, as we feared We
were destined to a slow, anguished
death by hunger.
II then thought over the different cir
cumstances II the smoke had been
produced by the dirigible catching fire,
the ship would certainly have been seen
falling. At any rate 1t would have
been difficult under the cloudy sky for
the fame not to be noticed by any one
at such a short distance as 10 to Is
kilometers.
Even II true that burning rubber
smoke may arise also from the combus-
ton of benzine, oil, etc.
II then thought that the oil and fuel
reservoirs had fallen or been thrown

England Still Is Firmly In

that Great Britain was as firmly in
trenched in ireland as ever. He said
the If war were to occur betwean eng
land and the United States, Irelsnd's
harbors would furnish naval bases for
attacks on American comme-ce.
The British, he said, were still estab-
lished in the principal seaplrts and
British troops were garriscred in the
leading cities. He poinLed our that
this condition was provided for in the
treaty between England and the Free
State. The s3me 7reaty provided that
1reland'S coast defense would be un-
dertaken by the British government un-
til soma arrangement could be effected.
He held that ireland would be con-
sidered hostile territory by any power
with which England might be at war.
Touching on the financial agree
ment bsIWeen ireland and England, he
said thet the amount OF money Ireland
was obliged to pay each year to England
was natIe in proportion to Irish popu-
lation than England pays to the United
States on the war debt The amount
is approximately $4,000 ,o0o.. Most of
this amount represents annual install

GERMAN SCIENTISTS SEEK
SUCCOR FOR OLD PEOPLE
Care for Young Hitherto Has Alb
sorbed Attention, Social
Congress Hears.

MUNICH tP).-German social science
experts. revIewing the elaborate ar
rangements of the present day for the
benefit Of the younger generation, have
concluded that the time has come to
pay more attention to the older genera
ton
Lsading feature of the social welfare
congress held here lately was an ad-
dress by Prof. Arthur Schlossmann Of
Dusseldorf. organizer of the great ma
tional health and welfare exposition
there two years ago. His paper. en-
titled The Aged, Chapter from the
History Of Ingratitude," stressed the fact
that care for the young had hitherto
absorbed all public attention at thu
expense of due consideration for the
aged
Other speakers gave poignant de-
tails of the sufferings of the aged;
material trials resulting from dinin-
ished earning capacity; loss of position
or savings owing to the imitation,
coupled with mental anxieties arising
out. of the feeling of dependence on the
charity of friends and relations, and
the chill dread of being a useless bur-
den," often leading to despairing Bit
terneSs against existing institutions.
Various schemes were discussed to sue
cor. the aged in a manner to avoid any
sernblance Of charity so as to leave
them In possession Of their self-respect.
