THIRD SKELETON
 FOUND IN ARCTIC
Believe Body That Of Knut'
 Franke

Stockholm, Sept s Pi-The frozen northern wastes of White Island, have given up another body, presum- ably that of the third member of the Andree north pole balloon ex- petition of 1897,
 A party of journalists aboard the sealing vessel Isbjoern, excited at the discoveries of the crew of the Brat vaag on the island and hurrying there themselves, managed to land Saturday and make a search for relics of the ill-fated expedition which Dr. Gunhar Horn and his as- sociates had left behind.
 The skeleton found was presumed to be that of Knut Frankel, who. is has generally been believed, died en route to White Island from the spot where the Andree balloon came dovn. The crew of the Bratvaag found only two bodies. A group of bones they carried along asN prob ably the remains of the third man turned out to be those of a polar bear.
 Found Other Articles
 In addition to the third skeleton the Isbjoern party found a number of other things left by the Andree expedition of 33 years ago, includ ing scientiAc instruments, weapons pieces of the basket of the Andree balloon and FrankePs notebooks. They said that the camp was in ex' cellent order. They believed that the explorers died from sud den catas trophe, such as blizzard
 Advices of discovery of the third body probably will lead to postpone ment of the memorial service it had been planned to hold for the three untiL.it is known for certain that the body is that of Frankel. The Swedish warship Svenskund will wait at Thomsoe for the Isbjoerr(, which must travel slowly because of motor trouble.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
United States Contends at
Geneva for Real Reduc-
ton of Armaments.
By EDWARD w. PIcKARo


DIRECT and genuine reduction Of
- land and sea armament was pro-
posed by the United States in the ses-
sions Of the preparatory disarmament
commission in Geneva, the spokesman
for this country being Ambassador
Hugh Gibson. He was replying to
Lord Robert Cecil's speech advocating
limitation through budgetary curtail-
ment, and said the United States could
not accept this plan for two reasons:
First, because it is imperative and
cannot efficiently and accurately re-
strict the maintenance of war ma
terial;
Second, because the congress at
Washington probably would refuse to
ratify any such agreement, which, he
said, infringes on its rights to make
appropriations for national defense.
The British want the budgetary sys-
tenn applied to land forces but not
to navies, and they are supported by
France, the little entente and some
other nations. The American demand
is backed up by Germany, Japan.
Russia, Scandinavia, Holland and
Canada. Maxim Litvinov. Moscow's
representative, insisted that a direct
system of limitation of arms alone will
give results. He went further and in
sisted on a dual method of limitation
with the publication of complete
tables of war material, and gradu-
ated decrease in military budgetary
expenditures.
N. Sato of Japan declared that the
direct method of limiting fighting
forces was too difficult to apply and
was impossible to impose on all ma
tions. He said: 81 think that Japan's
view is that we should be content to
limit soldiers and not attempt to limit
material by any method"
Rene Massigli Of France complained
that Mr.. Gibson was too severe against
the budgetary system. but admitted
that some countries military budgets
do not reveal the exact amounts spent.
He also voiced apprehension over SUBJ
sidized arsenals.
The French delegation then pro-
posed that committee of experts be
named to examine both systems and
report to the governments to give
them time to make up their minds be-
fore the disarmament conference is
held.

Variation in Bees

Russian scientists have found that
honey bees in northern regions have
shorter tongues than bees farther

president Hoov

president HOOVER in an Armis-
L tice day address urged his listeners
to work continuously for peace with
the same zeal with which Americas
war dead waged war, but he said the
time has not yet come when the United
States can rest its defense solely upon
the Kellogg pact and other peace ma
chinery, and he also made it clear
that the United States intends to keep
free of political pacts that would bind
1t to the use of force to maintain
peace.
1.-The purpose of our government"
the President said in addressing an
audience Of 5000 delegates attending
the Good VIII congress of the World
Alliance for Friendship Through the
Churches, us to cooperate with others
to use our friendly offices and. short,of
any implication of the use of force. to
use every friendly effort and all good
will to maintain the peace of the
world"
General Pershing, Secretary of State
Stimson and Secretary of War Hurley
all made Armlstice day talks in Wash
ington, and all of them pleaded for
adequate preparedness for national de-
tense.
Secretary Hurley said that in event
of another war leach farm and fac
tory, each mill and mine, will be re-
quired to perform its duty to the coun-
try in support of the soldier who faces
the enemy at the front. Never again
shall one citizen be required to give
his life in defense Of his country while
another is permitted to make unusual
profit at his country's expense"

he said that the party must remain
dry or face a split and be defeated in

was merely his personal opinion, and
that while he will continue to do all
he can to combat efforts by the vets
to weaken prohibition, lie may be
ready to support any recommendations
made by the Wickersham commission

that Robert ii. Lucas will succeed him

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, presl-
dent of Columbia university, says that
if the Republican partys platform in
1882 does not call for repeal Of the
Eighteenth amendment "there will
come in the following November the
biggest political smash-up that has
taken place in the history of any Amer
can now living"
AS a matter of fact, the leaders Of
both parties are greatly concerned
over the problem of adjusting their
platform on the liquor issue so as to
retain their respective strengths.
The Wickersham commission, trying
to get together on report concerning
prohibition enforcement, continued its
hearings and deliberations until Thurs
day and then adjourned until Novem-
Der "a. Among the witnesses it heard
were Dr. William c. Woodward of

is scheduled to get under way
Wednesday afternoon in Ryan
