The Endless Chain

A man goes. to some frozen shore, its
mighty icebergs to explore: that he will
come back never more some sports are
betting; the days go by. and then the
weeks and nothing from the silence
leaks. although the world some mes
sage seeks, disturbed and fretting. And
then Explorer Number Two remarks:
This thing will never do: I'll have To
follow where he few and save his
bacon; he must not perish in the snow
where ghosts Of dead explorers go; I'll
sail up there and let him know he's not
forsaken." Then this brave man pro-
ceeds to soar away to some uncharted
shore, and in two weeks or maybe four
we're greatly fearing; we haven't
heard a single thing; the Northern
winds no message bring; perhaps his
airship lost wing or broke its gearing.
Now speaks Explorer Number Three:
Its truly fierce that such things be;
I'll Journey to that icy sea and find the
missing: If stayed here, pampered
soul, while heroes died around the
Pole, my name would soon be in the
hole. a thing for Kissing" He sails
away, we see him fly until we lose him
in the sky. May Heaven prosper
Fin!" we cry, "and gless his soaring"
But from the shadows bleak and gray
no message comes. day after day. and
much we fear he's cast away where
gales are roaring. Then speaks Ex-
plorer Number Four: This business
makes me sick and sore; III journey
to the polar shore and see what's do
ing" We hear his motors loud ex-
haust; he goes, and he is straightway
lost. and others start. at bitter cost, his
trail pursuing. It is stern, heroic
tale of men whose strong hearts do not
quail. but what does all the work avail,
in which they perish? Does not the
world already know enough about that
waste Of snow. of freezing seas and
berg and foe so polar bearish?

Number Is Arbitrary.
Since each delegation has only one
vote IN committee meetings, the num-
Der OF delegates from a country is ar
bitrary.
The quarters provided by the Cuban
government for the committee meetings
are no less sumptuous than the great
university hall in which the plenary
sessions are held. They are mostly
classrooms but exquisite in decoration
ana furnishing. as a rule with beautiful
wooden desks and leather brass-stud-
ded chairs. An adequate force of
Stenographers and secretaries has been
provided for smoothing the mechanical
part OF the committees work.
Delegates today regarded the future
outlook of the conference with great
optimism because of the spirit of CO.
operation displayed by those who par
ticipated in the first plenary session.
The nature OF the opening speeches.
delegates said, had been most helpful
in producing a good atmosphere for the
initiation OF committee work. The
optimistic but sober tone of those ad-
dresses, based on the consideration of
results already achieved and of the
gradual attainment of distant ideals.
without arousing impossible hopes or
dashing helpful ideas, appealed to COM
mittee men as likely to prevent preju-
diced and unfruitful discussions in COM
mittees.
A short conferer*ce of United States
delegates was called by Chairman
Hughes before the convening OF the
first committee today. The American
delegates said that this would initiate
practice Of daily discussion by them
Of questions requiring common counsel
Satisfaction with the progress so far
was voiced unanimously by the Amer
leans. Calling attention to the cour-
teous attention received from other
delegates. they said that this was prob
ably due to desire TO set at rest re-
ports heard before the convening of the
conference that the United States
would encounter hostile atmosphere.
