SCIENTISTS INDORsE CAPT. WILKINS IDEA
 POLAR EXPLORATION

KEEL, Germany, July 28. (P-Polar exploration by means ob submarines, suggested by Capt. George H. Wilkins during his visit to Berlin, is regarded by German scientists as within the range of practical possibility.
 Dr. Lishowsky suggests that the observation by Capt. Wilkins of much open water between Alaska and Spitz bergen may have prompted himhto the idea that the submarine would be useful adjunct for exploration pur poses. Against this stands Anund- sens observation of gigantic solid ice fields between Spitzbargen and the pole
 Dr. Anschuetz- Kaempfe, in the course of his researches in the pack ice region north of Spitzbergen and around Franz Josefs Land, found that the thickness of arctic ice varied from seven to 73 feet, and he considered that a submarine travelling at a depth of 130 feet below the surface could expect a wholly safe passage Mod ern submarines can operate at much greater depths.
 By means of powerful searchlights, the presence of open water above could be easily detected. Even at 130 beet down, the suns rays can be dimly discerned thru water without any arti- ficial aid
