SHIP
SPEEDS TO CHILE
Boat Will RefueI and Pick
Up AirpIane En- Route to

ON BOARD M. S. WYATT EARP,
ANTARCTICA, November 30.-Lincoln
Ellsworth's supply ship is once more
breaking through tn; waves on her
way to Magallanes, where she will
refuel, pick up an airplane and turn
south again TO lay food depots on her
way to the Ross Sea.
The depots will be laid at Charcot
Island as a matter of precaution, for
it is hoped that Ellsworth and Her
bert Hollick-Kenyon, pilot of the air.
plane Polar Star, succeeded in their
attempt to fly across Antarctica and
that they are now at the Bay of
Whales.
The Polar Stars wireless has not
been heard for week, and when 1t
was last heard from. Ellsworth was
only half way to The Ross Sea. When
the signals faded the plane was still
flying well and there is no reason to
suppose that it would not continue
to do so for the other 900 miles nee
essary to complete the flight from
Dundee Island, Weddell Sea, to the
Bay of Whales.
The Wyatt carp has now journeyed
almost 10000 miles in Ellsworth's
service, and, thanks to her skilled
chief engineer, Harald Holmboe, and
to Capt. Hartvig Olsen, there has
never been hitch or a days delay
when the ship has been called upon
for action. She is now beginning an
other l0,000-mile journey in what is
generally considered to be the
stormiest Of all oceans. But the
Wyatt carp, though she rolls, is a
good sea boat, and the distance to the
Bay of Whales is well within her mar
gin.

The British have concentrated part
of their feet at Haifa. This has been
done for two reasons: first it is more
inaccessible to the Italian forces and
secondly it is the terminus of the i'm
portant pipe line which brings oil from
Iraq to the Mediterranean. Despite
the tremendous work Of the British
to make that Palestinian port first
class naval station Haifa is still far
from being real naval base.
Alexandria, in Egypt is an ideal
harbor but has not yet got the neces-
sary facilities for the repair ofsbattle-
SCARED ships.
The British have in the Mediter-
ranean today of the IL battleships
which it has in commission. Four of
them-the Warspite, the Repulse, the
Royal Oak and the Malaya-are
undergoing extensive changes at
Portsmouth and at Davenporta and
won't be ready until late in 1886. The
other four have to be kept in home
waters. The bulk of her cruiser, de-
stroyer and submarine fleets are con-
centrated at Gibraltar, Alexa ndria,
Haifa, and other minor points in the
Mediterranean.

Italy maintains her battle forces
seven large cruisers and 10 light
cruisers in the home waters. Her
submarines and airplanes, the chief
weapons upon which Mussolini is
counting in war against Great Bri-
tain. are concentrated at Augusta and
Trapani in the Island of Sicily and
slong the coast of Africa at Tripolis,
Beghazi and Tabruk.

Naval experts admit that should
Mussolini make good his threat to
challenge Great Britain on the sea,
the Italian air force and the Italian
submarines will be able to cause a lot
OF damage to the British feet. That
in the end Italy-or Mussolini-will
be defeated Is a foregone conclusion.
But before II Duce strikes his dicta-
torial flag he will have inflicted some
irreparable damage to the British lion.

RAPID EATING
BY HELEN ESSARY

Miss Harriet Elliott, who has
been travelling around the
United States explaining the
workings of Government to
groups of women, is leaving her
post as director of study groups
Of the Democratic national com.
mittee on August /, to become
head of women at the Univer-
Sity of North Carolina.
The women'S division Is
heart-broken over her depar-
ture. Miss Elliott is a fine or
ganizer and highly intelligent.
At the university where she
taught before she came to
Washington she made woman
suffrage so popular that an
Anna Howard Shaw building
was erected and named for her.
Miss Elliott is small and
pretty, has gorgeous sense of
humor, and a beautiful choice
of words. What more could any
woman ask?

had been pleading a case, the
judge met him on the court

were going to lunch.

NEW BUILDING
w. E. CLARK

Crossing swords with the Dis
trict Commissioners, who object to
erection of building in Judiciary
Square for the exclusive use of the
Recorder of Deeds Office, DR.,
William J. Thompson, Recorder,
has appealed for aid in letter to
Representative Mary T. Norton
Cd, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee.
The city heads, opposing bill
now in Congress for the erection
of such a building. urge that this
office be given a place in build
ing housing the Juvenile Court.
In his letter to Representative
Norton, the Recorder pointed out
that building for exclusive use
of the Recorders office has long
been needed in the District; that
the business of the office has in
creased greatly, and that the pro-
posed location of the building is
ideal. since the Recorders office,
through service rendered to the
local courts, is an indispensable
part of local judicial machinery.
