CLOUDS BALK FLIGHT.
Weather Holds Plane to Base, Leader
Of Expedition Reports.

BY LINCOLN ELLSWORTH.
Leader Ellsworth Trans-Antarctic Flisht
Expedition.
SNOW HILL ISLAND, weddell Sea.
Antarctica. December IS (by Wireless
to N.AN.A).-Our second Christmas
in the Antarctic has come and gone
and still our objective, a trans Ant
arctic flight, is not in sight.
Clouds still hang low over Snow
Hill Island, clearing sometimes to the
east or west, but, to the south, dullness
of the heavens seems permanent.
Since the trial flight Of the Polar
Star some days ago there has not been
an opportunity for even short flight
toward the unknown area of the Ant
arctic. The Polar Star is loaded and
we are still anxiously waiting, but
the days pass without encouragement.
Cheerful Christmas Spent.
Our Christmas this year was spent
merrily. We missed the serenity that
Is felt when ones ship is held fast by
the pack ice, as when we we're in the
Ross Sea last year, but here, in touch
with the greatness of the great ice
bound unknown, it is not difficult to
sense the magnitude of the universe
and its creator, and at this season. in
these latitudes, we feel His nearness.
After q hearty Christmas dinner
we had our celebration In the fore
castle, where phonograph records and
selections from the violin of Harald
Bigset, the expeditions machinist.
made the evening cheerful.
Humorous Paper Read.
The Polar Times. our Christmas
newspaper, which set forth interviews
with most every one on board. each
giving his opinion of the weather
and conditions and other things, was
read to the great amusement and sat-
isfaction Of every one, for it was give
and take as far as compliments were
concerned.
While waiting for the weather to
clear We have been busy gathering
fossils and q fine collection of many
species is now boxed ready for the
American Museum of Natural History.

WAR FEAR HOLDS
FRENCH PEOPLE
Expect German Invasion
While Leaders Move to
Preserve Peace.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December q. - Cheaper
bread Is the first goal Of Premier
Flandin as restless France looks to
the new year with hope of wiping out
the memory of a bitter 1884.
Instructions to cut bakers prices on
workmen's grayish bread have been
sent projects throughout the country.
The price is now 6 cents a pound and
is expected to be reduced by three
ffths of cent.
In the hope Of preventing war in
Europe during 1885 Pierre Laval, for
eign minister, is preparing for a trip
to Rome. convinced that an agree
ment with Premier Mussolini is close
ly linked to the interests of European
peace"
War Is Burning Question.
The 1884 surge of confidence In
Great Britain and wave of hope in
America have still 10 find their coun-
terparts in France.
The question that obscures every
thing else in the Frenchmans mind
is: will 1885 bring WARP"
For years in the background Of his
thoughts has been an ever-present
fear Of Germany eager for revenge.
In 1884, more than ever, war scares
were dinned in his ears.
Justified or not, the average French
man lives in fear that some day with
out a word of warning, giant German
planes will swoop across the Rhine
and bring death and horror to Paris
in a sudden devastating raid that will
paralyze the brain of France.
With that raid, he fears, will strike
a mobile shock army of perhaps
100000 Germans smashing their way
across the border by way Of Belgium
or Switzerland, to dsorganize and
terrorize the country. wrecking mobil-
ization plans and forcing peace before
France can even draw the sword.
"A few weeks, that is all Germany
counts on to force us to our knees, "
said Col. Fabry, former minister of
war and World War veteran.
Two great factors combine to make
1885 hold fateful possibilities in
Frenchmen's minds:
l. The Saar plebiscite, January 13,
with its potential political dynamite.
2. Firm belief that German re-
armament will be completed and that
Hitler will be ready to strike.
War fears are not simply confined
to the man in the street. They go
higher:
The situation seems to me to be at
least as grave as in 1914" said Marshal
Franchet d'Esperey. The Germans
are preparing for war; We are not
preparing enough. They are as dan
! gerous now as they were then"
The enemies of France are pre-
pairing for war as though it were to
be in the near future" declared Leon
Archimbaud, reporter Of the 1885
budget. in warning that Germany
would be able to put 5.500.00 men in
the field in few days in 1885.

Chicago milk market.
Howe fought vigorously against a
provision added to the milk license in
that area. He contends it gives a
virtual monopoly to the existing
marketing agencies. The amendment
has the effect of putting ring around
the market and barring all cream
shipments from outside it. This, Howe
contends, offers a chance for excess
sive price boosting by Chicago milk
distributors and is an unfair deal for
consumers
Secretary Wallace signed the
amendment on Davis recommends

A movement to erase the record has
actually been started by Mr.. O'Con-
nor's pals. Apparently they consider
it a blot of some kind or other. Al
though 1t Is a secret record Of the
board.
In fact. the idea seems to be
that every one concerned ,Dill erase
everything, including all those
stories inspired by certain Ne,0
Dealers from time to time, suggest

the abolition OF Mr.. O'ConnOr's
job.
However, while all is now quiet on
the O'Connor front, and has been for
weeks, no careful newsman will pre-
dict eternal peace. Erasers never work
very well on mems memories.
Morganthau Misled.
It was all a mistake At least It
will be announced as such whenever
the erasures are accomplished.
Apparently the guileless and in
nocent Mr. Morgenthau was naisled
by one OF Mr.. O'Connor's personal
enemies, one in the Treasury and
one across the street from there.
The one in the Treasury is sup
posed to haze personal feeling
against Mr.. O'Connor from byoone
days trhen they Uere in North
Dakota politics. The enr,ity OF
the enemy across the street is not
so old, but it is supposed to be
more competitive.
At any rate, that Is the story which
is going to be told, and 1t will be SUM-
cient.
Every one concerned will breathe
easier to have the matter settled, be-
cause it has caused more inner phe-
nagling than all the other famous
brotherly misunderstanding within
the New Deal family, including Rich
berg VS.. Johnson, Hull VS.. Peek ct al.
Farley Credited.
1t may be that the Yuletide spirit
seized the interested parties and filled
them suddenly with brotherly love- but
it is more likely that one James

You may score the play as a stolen
base by Mr. O'Connor, an assist by
Mr.. Farley, an error by Mr.. Morgan
thau. But do it in pencil, so it can
easily be erased.
Helvering to Stay.
You also can be reasonably safe in
declining to believe currently pub
lished yarns suggesting that Internal
Revenue Commissioner Helvering may
be transferred to the Kansas City
Reserve Bank. He is to remain here
under the same trade by which the
New Deal keeps OConnor. Credit
Mr.. Farley with an assist on that
also.
1t is evident that Mr. Farley Is
getting to be quite fellow around

GOLD ARROWHEAD
FOUND ON CLARK
FORK RIVER BANK
Metal Is Tempered; May Be
OF Archaeological
Value

A gold arrowhead-believed to
be a real archaeological treasure
was found in a gravel bank of the
Clark's Fork river near Clark,
Wyo., recently, it was revealed
here after efforts to reconstruct
it's origin had been made.
Not only is the head of gold
but the precious metal which went
into it's manufacture has been
hardened by tempering and addi-
tons of an alloy, at present be-
lieved to be copper. This adds
even more mystery and value to
the find as the art is one that
must have belonged to a highly
civilized race of man.
The head was brought here and
shown to DR.. ]. c.. F. Siegfriedt,
Red Lodge paleontologist, by its
finder, Edward Lindquist, who, to-
gether with his father, operates
the general store and p~ostoffice
at Clark. Lindquist picked the
arrowhead up in a wind-exposed
cut in a gravel bank on the Clark's
Fork river at a point two miles
east of the Clark postoffice.
The gravel bank, he said, was
from IL to Is feet in height, while
the cut where the actual find was
made was about three feet in
depth. The arrowhead was en-
crusted with hardened earth, an
evidence of great age. Lindquist's
find was made on a leisurely Sun
day outing, and it may prove to
be a find of great archaeological
value.

scraped from the head, it shone in

and publisher of the Carbon
County News, filed Tuesday
with Secretary of State Sam
w. Mitchell his petition for
nomination on the Republi-
can ticket as United States
senator for the six-year
term to succeed Senator
Burton X. Wheeler, Demo
crat, of Butte.
The Red Lodge editors decision
to enter the senatorial race was
not made on the spur of the mo-
ment, he said here, stating that in
filing for the office he was full
filling promises made to friends

Mr.. Shelley, who has also
served as a member on the Helena
and Red Lodge city councils, has
