To Light Bonfires Tonight

Hunters hill, a mighty crag near Glamis, will be the focal point of tonight's climax of the joyful dem- onstration of this village when the great pile of fagots, kept dry by tarpaulins for fortnight of ex- pectation, will be uncovered and l lighted. This would have been done last night, soon after the birth at 9:22 o'clock, had not a terrific gale made it seem unsafe. Today is calm. | The still air is cold and stimulating, an ideal condition for the ancient Scottish rite of lighting the beacons which, although they will carry no news, will warm the hearts of their beholders.
 Duchess of York
 The little princess is the fourth grandchild of King George, her own sister, Princess Elizabeth, and Prin- cess Mary's two sons, having pre- ceded her into the world. She is fourth in succession to the throne. Her uncle, the Prince of Wales, her | father, and Princess Elizabeth all are in precedence.
 Dynasty Hoped for Boy
 British dynasts had hoped the child would be a boy thus insuring a direct succession 10 the throne after the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York.
 The birth was at 9:22 p. m. dur ing storm which beat about the old castle in a way remindful of the tempest of Shakespeare's Macbeth, the plot of which was laid in the castle.
 The accouchement took place in the duchess childhood bedroom. Be- sides Sir Henry Simson, who is a noted obstetrician, and Dr. David Miles, the duchess was attended by 1 Nurse Beevors, who was with her at the time Princess Elizabeth, now four years old, was born.
 Directly after birth of the child it was taken by Nurse Beevors to John R. Clynes, British home secre- tary. who had remained here for several days in order to attest birth of a. royal heir, as required by cus- tom.
 Clynes Certifes Borth MT.

Both sent their congratulations and will leave Sandringham today for Glamis. They will arrive here Satur- day to see their~pew grandchild. 1 News of the birth of the child spread quickly about the country side. The church bells pealed louded than at any time since the arnistice was signed. Natives called to one another, "A daughter" Tonight a huge bonfire will be lighted on top of 8 nearby hill in ancient official notification of the event.
 Want Her Named Margaret
 Scots generally hope the girl child will be named Margaret, which is d time -honored Scottish royal name. She is the first royal child to be born within the bounds of the highland kingdom in 300 years.

tConnnued From First Page) Dr. Nathorst headed an expedition 10 eastern Greenland.

There also were messages in two Of the buoys, but they dated only from the day of the take off. The others were empty.
 Andree's companions were K. Frankel and \. Strindberg.
 Terrain Very Difficult
 Fridtjof Nansen Land was former y Franz Josef Land, an Arctic arch lpelago lying east Of Spitzbergen, many of the islands being promon- tories rising from 400 to roo feet.
 Most Of the islands have caps Of ire or sheer ice faces 10 the sea. Veg etation is sparse, consisting of only few towering plants and some moses and lchens. Occasionally Norwegian trappers have wintered there but jack-ice renders access diff Gcur

 Many explorers have venturcd into the large group of islands but there Is still much 10 learn of their nature.

 Peary's Narrow Escape
 Lieutenant Peary, later Commo- dore Peary, led expeditions there and nearly gave their lives in the gain ing of vast scientific collections in 1896, The expedition of Alfred Harmsworth, afterward Lord North cliffe, in the ship "Windward" ex- plored that region in 1894, reaching Cape Richthofen and there being confronted by an expanse of open water to the snorth which they named Queen Victoria sea.
 pr. Fridtjof Nansen wintered near i Cape Norway, Jackson Island. and brought to definite form much or ieinal as well as previously cleaned information regarding the vast col lection of islands.
 Captain Robertson of Dundee was exploring the islands in 1897 when Andree and his mates vanished and in August, 1898, an American. Wal ter Wellman, landed at Cape Teget- thof Evelyn Baldwin, also an Amer ican, charted many of the islands.

NeW Yorker Recalls search

New York. Aug. 22 LPl--An aging man who knows the white paths of the Arctic as well as he knows the winding streets Of downtown New York sat in his shop on Warren street today and traced on well worn map the narrow patch of ice by which he missed finding the body Of August Andree, Swedish balloon ist-explorer, 26 years ago.
 "On White Island." exclaimed An thony Fiala when the Associated Press told him Andree's body and that of a companion had been found.
 "Yes. in Franz Josef land-Fritd jof Nansen land, they call it now, l suppose the body was found on the large island; there's one big one and several very small.
 In 1903-05, when I took the Ziegler expedition to the Arctic. we stopped at the northern tip af Ru- dolph Island. There We picked up two men-Russell W. Porter of . Springfield, Mass, scientists, and Anton Ncdoe of Boston-to search for Andree, his companions and the balloon.
 Almost Reached Spot
 They started out on dog sleds for White Island. 40 miles away. Forty miles isn't far in the Arctic. but it's long way when the ice is like hillocks and jagged glass, and the ice was so rough that the two men had to turn and come back. Had they gotten to the White Islands they undoubtedly would have found the bodies-especially since Andree had a camp.
 T wonder what became of the bal loon? Carried away, probably, in those strange local winds While our expedition was there on Ru- dolph Island we had for days the most terrific windstorms I ever saw. When we went back to the southern tip of the island, g miles away, we found it had been dead calm there all the time.
 Sought Coal For Balloon
 Tn our first search for the body of Andree, made by the expedition of Evelyn Briggs Baldwin of Kan sas and Ziegler in 1901 and 1902, i Baldwin, who was a weather observ- CT, sent up 5 small balloons because he had run out of coal.
 "On every one he put a message asking that coal be sent to our ship. l He thought the winds would carry l them to continental land, probably to Norway or Sweden or the north coast of Russia.
 But it was two years later before i the first balloon was found. and one was come across by a Russian party of explorers a few months ago.
