ITALIA BACK
FROM JOURNEY
Polar Flight to Alter
Geography of That
Region Is Belief

KINGS BAY, S%pitzbergen, May Ia.
--(P)-The dirigible Italia returned
to her base here at 9:i5 a. m. today
from an exploring trip TO Lenin
Land. The weather was fine.
The dirigible had been in flight
for almost sixty-eight hours over a
course OF some 1000 miles, ESving
left Kings Bay at 1:20 p. m. Tues
day.
ROME, May 1s.@P)-News Of the
return flight Of the Italia to her
Kings Bay base today was received
with rejoicing throughout the Ital-
ian press, which cites the flight as a
splendid achievement.
The success of the dirigible IN re-
sisting unfavorable weather condl-
tions was praised by the papers
which said that she had gained all
her set detectives and from a scien-
tific as we'll as a~eronautical stand
point, amply justified the faith OF
her supporters.
Popolo Di Roma notes hat be-
tween S~pitzbergen and the Franz
Josef archipelago, the Italia tound
no trace of land, showing that the
mythical ellis land as we'll as
Croker Land which Peary thought
he saw, did not exist.
However, the Italia's crew was
able to establish the presence Of a
vast zone of open sea to the north
east Of the Franz Josef group at 81
degrees north longitude and another
space of open water near Nicholas
III Land" says the paper, declaring
that this is enough TO constitute a
revolution in arctic geography.
The newspaper says that where
Mobile went beyond the Russian eX-
p~loration Of Nicholas III Land IN 1915
was that he flew owe the entire
length of the region and should DC
able 10 determine whether it is one
great island or an archipelago. The
precise determination of this was
one Of the detectives of the Italian
expedition.
Satisfaction was expressed that
General Mobile was able to pay Ven
ices tribute to the memor Of the
explorer, Francesca Querino, who
met death in the region during the
Duke of Abruzzi's expedition OF
1900 by dropping the flag of the city
Of Venice with a parchment bearing
a message from Podesta Pietro Orsi.
Now that Mobile has made two
preliminary flights popular interest
is centering on his projected trip
over the pole itself when he plans
to deposit a large cross blessed by
Pope Plus and containing a message
from the pontiff.
News from Kings Bay where the
Italia landed at 9:15 a. m. today, in
dictated that everything was IN
readiness there for refueling and
overhauling the Italia for her next
voyage. The crew Of the Italia is
due for an extensive spell of rest
and recreation and just when the
next flight will be made is not
known.
