ANIMAL STOWAWAYS
 COMMON ON PLANES

WASHINGTON, Nov. Tail Wind boasted as the only pup to make non-stop flight from coast to coast by the owner and pilot of tho Yankee Doodle,' has had plenty of rivals in the way of real live aviator animals.
 Tail Wind" was a "hot dog" with tooth picks for legs and a mateh for tail. But Air Corps records here show that not only have live animals flown long dis tances in planes. but they have even made parachute jumps.
 "Bing," dog mascot of the Ar Service Mechanics School at Kel- ly Field, San Aneonio, once made a parachute jump from the height of thousand feet. He had spa- cfal harness fitted on him. A ser geant pulled the rip cord just as the drs dropped into space. The parachute opened beautifully. and "Blng" floated gracefully to earth, alighting in the arms of the lieu tenant who had raised him from a pup. He set up joyful and

cord in the thought of France.
 ''If there were need of it be- tween the two great democracies in order to give high testimony of their desire for peace and to fur nish solemn example to other peoples, France would be willing to enter into an engagement with America mutoa1ly outlawing war, to use your way of expressing it.
 "The renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy is a conception already familiar to the signatories of the League Cove nant and the Locarno treaties. Any engagement subscribed to in the same spirit by the United States toward another nation, such as France, should greatly contribute in the eyes of the world to en- large and fortify the foundation on which the international policy of peace is being erected. Thus the two great friendly nations, equally devoted to the cause of peace, would furnish the world the best illustration of the truth that the condition immediately to be obtained is not disarmament, but the practice of peace"

 The English text of the famous statement, as published in Ameri- ca, follows:
 At this time when the western world recalls that solemn date when the United States entered the war l am addressing to the Ameri- can people an expression deeply felt of the sentiments, fraternal and confident, which the people of France will always cherish to- ward America.
 T have not forgotten that it was reserved to me first to learn by an official communication from MT. Sharp, then American ambas- sador, that the federal government had taken the decision which was to exercise so considerable an in fluence in the history of the world war.
 Now, in the problems of peace France and America are following different roads, but each toward the same goal Disarmament can come about only by the will to peace among all nations. In that the thought of America will ever be certain to find sympathetic ac

HOOVER TAKING
 NO CREDIT FOR
 VOTE OF SOUTH
Regards Vote as Victory for C. o. P. and Not
 Personal Tribute

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 15.- President Elect Hoover regards the large number of votes cast for him in the South as a victory for the Republican Party rather than as a personal tribute.
 Writing to R. H. Edmonds, Edi- tor of the Manufacturers Record, MT. Hoover said: With one third of the nations land area, with about three-fifths of it's sea front age, with vast sources in soil, eli mate and minerals, no limit can be set upon continued progress and the ever-increasing population of the whole South"
 The President Elect declared he was profoundly appreciative at the extremely heavy vote cast throughout the South for himself and Senator Charles Curtis. q accept this vote as no personal tribute but as an expression of developing sentiment throughout the South on behalf of the things for which the Republican Party stood in the campaign"
 The President Elect added that it was his belief that the time will come when the voters throughout the country should cast ballots on their convictions and not make things of a former generation" a basis of their vote.

 From Corinto, the party will move down the coast to Balboa, Canal Zone, where the President Elect will inspect the Panama Canal. The next call will be at Calloa, Peru, then Lima, the capi- tai, the next Valparaiso, then across the Andes to the Eastern Coast.
 Ecuador and Bolivia are under consideration but no decision has been reached.
 The details of the trip await the arrival of Ambassador Henry D. Fletcher who will accompany the President-E Elect. He is ex- pected to reach Palo Alto Sunday.
 The party will also include George Akerson, Hoover's secre- tary, and George Barr Baker, of New York, personal friend.
 Continued publications concern ing possible selection of Hoover's Cabinet today brought forth the statement in behalf of the Presi- dent-Elect, that he has not dis cussed appointments with anyone and would not do so until he re- turns from his goodwill tour early in January.
 Information is also obtained that Hoover does not intend to return to Washington until the day before his inauguration on March 4.

PARIS, Nov. 15.-The French foreign office has published a book containing the documentary background of the negotiations which led to the Kellogg general treaty for renunciation of war. The first exhibit in the publication is the message of friendship and re- spect transmitted to the American people by the French foreign min ister, Aristide Briand, through The Associated Press April 6, 1927.
 The history of journalism is fill ed with examples of reporters ac- tivities which have given new di- rections to national and world events, but ncne exceeds in story book quality the part played by Smith Reavis of the Associated Press Paris bureau in the creation of the Kellogg treaty.
 Early in 1927 he sought and ob- tained from M. Briand a state ment for publication in the United States on the tenth anniversary of Americas entry into the war. This resulted year and half later in the Sale de rHorloge of the

German Ocean Air Line
 Plan Now Crystallizine

FRIEDRICHSHAF'EN, Germany, Nov. 15.-Dr. Hugh Eckener's plan for building huge airdrome near Bale, Switzerland, as one terminus of transatlantic airship service has received the support of Di- rector Colsman of the Zeppelin Construction Works.
 Friedrichshafen is almost 1,500 feet above sea level. which means that the carrying power of an air. ship taking off at this point is four tons less than if the depar- ture had been made from a local ity of lower altitude. Colsman be- lieves that. the Rhine valley of Baden is one of the most suitable places in Europe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Fiying over the rugged mountain peaks that ordinarily require weeks of weary travel by foot and pack train to surmount them, three American geologists have recent ly returned from Alaska to relate how natures barriers to an un plored section of the Alaskan range were broken down by seaplane flight.
 Wllh no prospects of smooth landing fields alter they should have reached their rugged inland objective, the American scientists of the United States Geological Survey who set out to map and study one of Alaska's blind spots" were forced to trust to sea- plane's ability to fly over jagged peaks until some inland lake near their working base was reached.
 They took off from the harbor dl AncnOrage ana Tn an hour and 20 minutes the pilot set the plane down on Chakathamna lake distance inland from Anchorage that requires three weeks by pack train over treacherous country.

NEW CONTINENT. LAST IN W 0RL D, MAY BE FOUND
Discovery May Be Made by Capt. George Wil-
 kins Expedition

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The pos siblity of discovering a new con- tinent-probably the last in the world-lies in the scope of the Wilkins Expedition to Antarctica.
 This expedition of two planes, three flyers and mechanic is headed for that great sector of Antarctica which no man has seen, a stretch about as long as the United States is wide, that geographers have said may be sep arated from Antarctica by an ice capped strait.
 So completely unknown is most Of this area that any additional knowledge whatever will go far t W I'd permanent conclusions about it's structure.
 On present maps Antarctica is shaped somewhat like a tadpole. its head toward Australia and it's tail projecting far northward to- ward South America. From Cape Horn to this tail Is less than 1000 miles, but everywhere else an ocean about as wide as the North Atlantic surrounds An arctica. From the tail of the tadpole, down the west side, is the largest un- known portion of the frozen con tinent.
 Starts From Tail Tip
 It is this portion that Wilkins proposes to explore, starting from the tail tip. At the far end of this strip lies Ross Sea. base of the Byrd expedition. On the east side of the tail is WeddeH Sea, a great identation in Antarc- tica, which, if 1t connects with Ross Sea, makes separate conti- nent of the land over which Will kins plans to fly.
 Geographers have assumed that this area is land, and that there is possibly connection between the two seas named.
 Wilkins himself has said he be- ieyes the unknown coast is low. Elsewhere in Antarctica, the known coasts are high. Sir Doug las Mawson, 'in Problems of Polar Research of the American Geo. graphical society of New York, says:
 Whether the rocky basement lnder the polar ice dome is con- Hinuously above sea level, or
