A MYSTERY RESOLVED.--A mys-
terry which had much exercised mankind
has been cleared up with the recent
discovery on Hvitvoen white Island or
Giles Land, between Spitzbergen and
Fridtjof Nansen Land, of the frozen and
consequently well preserved bodies Of
Andree, the Swedish explorer. and his
two companions, who in 1897 set OF
from Spitzbergen in balloon for the
North Pole; the first attempt Of its kind.
with the bodies were found Andres
diary, his scientific instruments. his
boat and sledge and sundry parapher-
MALTA. No traces were found Of the bal
loon.
Andree was a great forerunner. It
was gallant trio.

Problem of Nationality Has Become
Difficulty to Secretariat to League

all the countries than o council at the
head of the secretariat on which every
member of the League would be given
an equal chance to sit? But the Ital-
ians and the Germans have been the
ones that always have held the ma
tional point Of view.
The paradox Is explained II you look
at the French reply to the italian sug-
gestion. Their argument was that as
soon as council was put at the head
OF the administration its members
would be there in national capacity.
otherwise the council would lose its
"all and equal representation" purpose.
The above Is easy to see, and the 1tal-
ians, Germans and Japanese admit 1t.
But" they reply, isn't that just
what We want? Isn't the League sup
posed to be an international institution
to seek solutions to world problems, but
at the same time respecting the. SOW
ereignity of Its states-members? What
is more logical than TO have council
Of administration on which every state
has an equal chance of representation
to make decisions that are bound to
affect the interests in one way or an
other OF the member states OF the
Lacquer"
Abilities Bases Of Preference.
The French and the British, and, 1t
must be admitted, the majority Of the
other states, point out that the indi-
vidual heads Of sections and other high
officials are appointed because of their
ability to fulfill their positions. either
as expert or as result of their inter-
national work. They say that they are
therefore well qualified to make deci-
sions. many Of which are of technical
nature.
From the international side, they ask
II a person isn't more conscientious
when deciding q question alone and on
the basis of his expert ability. which he
knows he is expected to employ from an
unbiased point of view, than when he
| FIRST Is forced to consider national in
| terests as on council he would have

| Another argument advanced by the
group headed by the French and Brit
ish Is the fact that any such council
as proposed necessarily would involve
q lot OF red tape. They point to the
organization Of an ordinary business
house. There there is q manager OF
president assisted by perhaps various
heads of departments. Outside of the
actual organization there are the board
OF directors and the stockholders, with
their annual meetings, whinh might bt

~ ENEVA-How far should League
Of Nations officials be national
r and how far international
~ In question that claims two
big camps in the field Of
League politics.
Ever since the beginning of the
League one group OF nations has held
that when diplomat or expert accepts
O position In the League secretariat he
Immediately becomes an international
member Of that institution and his
duty is to look at and solve League
probleL-; from an international point
OF view. The other side has felt that
every member Of the League secretariat
should be there in the capacity Of
national representative, and that while
seeking an international solution to
problems should, nevertheless, keep his
own country's interests in mind.
This last viewpoint may seem the
most logical but without trying to
answer definitely the question that has
banned diplomats and statesmen for 10
years and promises to do so far quite
some time 70 come, 1t is interesting to
examine recent discussion Of one
question.
Nationalist and Interna ti0nalists Meet
so far members Of the secretariat
have been understood to be there in
the international sense, with due excep@
ton being allowed that TO o certain
extent no one at heart ever loses his
country's interests completely Thus 1t
has remained for the nationalists to
take the initiative. This they have es-
saved to do more than once, and the
recent session of the committee for
the reorganization of the League sec
retariat and the international labor
once was the last scene of conflict.
Mr.. Scialoja, who was Italys delegate
TO all important League functions UNI
til Signor Grand began to occupy the
italian seat at the League Council
meetings, Is q member of the above
committee. As he was unable to at
tend the session, he sent letter to
the committee urging It TO consider
carefully the possibility Of substituting
for the four undersecretaries general
section heads Of the League and Other
high officials q council which would
have In charge the administration al
present left to these individuals.
Mr.. Scialoja was backed in the COM
rnittee by the German and Italian rep
resentatives. Heading those opposed u
the suggestion were the English aic
tbe French.

The yacht Americas sailing from
New York to compete against the Eng

Crystal Palace. London, at the turn OF
the half century, marked the United
States entry into international sports.
The letter in which the suggestion was
made that an American designed and
built boat compete against the skilled
yachtsmen Of the Old World was not
preserved, but yellowed old pamphlets
and magazines of that day record In
fact and fancy the triumph OF the
glorious yacht.

But not all of the Americas laurels
were won in the field Of sport. Scarcely
had o decade passed from the day Of
her victory over her English rivals
when, after being sunk In southern
river, she was fitted out for her coun-i
trys service during the Civil War. In
fair weather and foul she kept watch
on the coast Of the United States, aid
ing In the blockade against vessels
bound for ports Of the South Atlantic
States. A number of prizes taken by
her were sent North as trophies Of war.
For several years after the war the
America was used as a training ship
for midshipmen at the Naval Academy.
Then again, in 1870, she took her place
in line to compete for the trophy she
had won at Cowes. Finally, neglected
and forgotten, she sank in the mud at
her berth at Chelsea Bridge, Boston,
Mass, until she was rescued and re-
stored to the Naval Academy by the
