Optimistic In Greenland

Copenhagen, Denmark. Aug. ~
Pt-AuthoritatlV reports from
South Greenland yesterday that
Bert 11assel and Parker Cramer
We're sighted Sunday morning over
the village of F'iskenaesset have
stirred the utmost optimism among
Greenland experts that the Ameri-
can airmen will be found safe.
Daugaard Jensen, director OF
Greenland trade, told the Associated
Press today that a northwest storm
undoubt eddy had forced the Greater
Rockford zoe miles south Of Stroem
ford which is near Mount Evans,
the goal of the fliers on their 1,6oo
mile hop from Cochrane. Ontario.
He expressed the opinion that Has
sell must have had great difficulty
to find d landing place but that he
probably found one south of the
sand plain near Frederikshaab,
which is about 60 miles from Fis-
kcnaesset.
The nearest gasoline supply is at
Soender Stroem ford and it would
take several weeks to transport it
while the chances of a successful
take off are considered poor.
Commander BiIdsoe, one of the
best acquainted with this district,
expressed the belief that Hassell
would prefer to land three or four
miles inland whore big ice plain
provides a good landing easily dis
coverable from the air.
Other Opinions
Hedge Bengsted another arctic
expert, was doubtful that Hasseil
would hope to continue should he
have landed near Frederikshaab as
he could not get gasoline supplies
in less than six weeks. He thought
that the best course would be for
the ajrmen to take a ship for Co.
penhagen.

youth to become members: for
stated that in my opinion, there is
greater need than ever Of temper
ance societies, as under the prohi-
bition law and Volstead act, the
danger of young people OF America
is many times greater than In the
worst days OF the saloon.
Il think from the foregoing that
you can gather my sentiment but
the thought may arise that all my
experience was in the remote past.
Let me assure you l have daily ex-
perience with conditions as they are.
Being the registrar of voters in this
city, my duties take me to almost
every house in our city each year
and / see life as it is. My evidence is
ocular and not the statistics OF paid
special writer and what | see and
know compels me to say that the
prohibition law is a flat failure, as
a preventive of the drink evil,
II do not want you to infer from
what I have said that will want
the saloon back for I would not, ]
merely state that out OF my years of
observation, its evils were not as
great as those attendant upon the
prohibition law and believe with you
that the law should be changed.
Our America should be purged of its
hypocrisy that seeks to make us be-
lieve that We are free Of the drink
evil.
y have watched the career of
Governor Smith and ! have been in
two conventions to help non. nate
him for president, and / believe he
is the one man who can solve this
problem to the satisfaction Of all.
Respectfully yours,
