HOPE REALIZED,
SUBMARINE TO
EXPLORE POLE
Inventors Craft win Be
Used on Trip in Arctic

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April To-
Because for more than thirty years
a man has chung tenaciously to
dream, tiny submarine this sum-
mer will rip and tear its way
through polar ice foes to the top of
the world.
The man is Simon Lake, and the
dream is the one born vixen he built
the worlds first successful sub
marine in 1895. Even then he
planned that his invention would
conquer the frozen barriers of far
northern waters that have proved
impenetrable ever since men first
went to sea in ships.
Thus what was almost the origin
al purpose Of the submarine is be-
ing carried out now that Sir Hubert
wilkins, famed explorer, has de-
cided to go to the North Pole by
an undersea route.
Lakes own craft, the Defender
the only privately owned submarine
in the worlds being refitted here
for the polar voyage. 1t is being
equipped with new and amazing de-
vices that will safeguard it and its
volunteer crew of ten on their
fantastic journey into the Arctic.
THE trip won't be dangerous and
the idea isn't new" Lake said. More
than thirty years ago I tried to in
terest Captain hansen, the Arctic
explorer, in going to the North Pole
in an under-ice submarine"
For the trip the Defender will be
equipped with special diving hatch
from which a man might slip from
the bow of the sub and, using high

There will also be stout, sharp
edged bar extending from prov to
stern over the coming tower like
a huge knife that will cut through
all but the thickest ice; a cargo of
thermite,' used for breaking up ice
locked rivers, which will melt as
much as an acre of ice if they
should become trapped, and drills
for boring up through unusually
deep ice to get fresh air for the
crew and for recharging the crafts

An undersea radio will commune

REBELS LOSE

Remnants OF insurgents
Flee to Final Stand in T
Sonora.
BY JACQUES D'ARMAND
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NACO, Ariz., April 1O.-Some-
where in the mountain fastness OF
the Sierra Madres between the
states Of Chihuahua and Sonora,
the remnants Of the army of Gen.
Jose GonzaIo Escobar's, rebel COM
mander-in-chief, marched west
ward today to join in a final stand
in the state Of Sonora, birthplace of
the revolution.
Reports indicated the rebel forces
from Chihuahua City and Juarez,
both evacuated Tuesday, were pro-
ceedIng westward with detachments
OF General Francisco Manzo's revo-
lutlonary army in Sinaloa, to Join
General Escobar and General
Fausto Topete, commanding the
rebel army at Naco, Sonora.

Railroads Wrecked

reports from NacO said that Cen
cral CaravenO, who previously had
evacuated Chihuahua City, wrecked
railroads on his way TO Juarez. Chi
huahua City was occupied Tuesday
night by General Juan Almazan,
federal leader in the decisive ed
eral victory at Reforma.
Repulsed in two assaults on Cen
eral Lucaz Gonzalez's federal
stronghold at Naco, Sonora, General
Topete announced a proposed third
attack would be withheld until the
arrival OF General Escobar, military
dictator of the revolt ton.
General Topete, warned by an
aerial demonstration of United
States airplanes, apparently was in
clined to leave to his commander
decision Of renewing the assault on
Naco which led to the wounding of
an American cavalryman and the
1lrln3 Of building on the American
side of the border.
All saloons and sporting clubs in
Naco, however, were ordered closed
today, indicating that the federal
garrison believed another rebel as
Saut was impending.
Pass Is Destination
Escobar's army was known to be
en- route from Cailhead at Casa
Grandes, Chihuahua, to Pulpito
Pass, where his troops must thread
their way through a narrow defle
at 10000 feet and drop down to
Sonora.
Observers here estimated the con-
soildation of Escobar's scattered
troops with the western forces
would give the revolutionists 5000
men with fair equipment.
