PAGE 8 GREAT EXPLORING PARTY SOON TO SAIL FOR ar a N. E. A. Special to The Tribune, New York, July 16.—African explor- ation, halted during five years of war, is to be resumed. The first expedition since 1914 set out from New York today. A party of nine, including scientists, motion picture camera men and one news- paper correspondent sailed for Cape- town on the Norton Line steamer City of Benares. It’s the Sm: dition—the largest in scientific since the famous Stanley expedition that went in seach of Livingstone half a century ago; larger than that headed by tha late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt after he retired from the presidency in 1909. ‘Officially it is known as the Smith- sonian African Expedition under the direction of Edmund Heller, in con- junction with the Universal Film Manufacturing Company. ONLY NEWSPAPERMAN WRITES FOR TRIBUNE. The trip, which will last at least six months and penetraie into un- explored parts of darkest Africa, was arranged by Dr. Charles Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institu- tion of Washington, and Carl Laem- mle, president of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, which will be in full charge of taking motion pic- tures. The one newspaper correspondent, Edward H. Thierry, of the Newspaper Enterprise Association, whose articles and pictures will appear in Bismarck exclusively in the Daily Tribune, This is the first time a newspaper cor- respondent ever has accompanied such an expedition. Edmund Heller, director of the ex- pedition, is a famous naturalist. He piloted Colonel Roosevelt, and was with Paul Rainey in Africa, and has ‘been on scientific expeditions in Cen- tral America, Peru, na, Tibet, Bur- ma, Alaska and Siberia. Two other noted scientists in the; expedition are Henry C, Rave, Smithsonian naturalist, just returned) from Jong exploring trips in Bornes! and Celebes Island, and Dr. Homer LeRoy Shantz, botanist for the Unit ed Siates department of egricu'tu The scientisis will. collect s skins and bones of anima mens of insect life, skulls an of hnman_ races, live animals and plants and seeds. The spec’al mis- sion of Dr. Shantz will be investiga- tions leading to the introduction of useful plants, trees and grain into this country. MOTION PICTURES PLAY PART IN EXPLORATION. For the first time in the history of science {lo motion picture camera will play its real part in African ex- ploration. Movies will be brough: back to America of known and _hith- erto unknown forms of animal, in- sect and reptile life and of races and trides, many never seen by white men. Directing all motion pictures for the expedition will be William Stow- ell of Los Angeles, whose chief pho- tographer is George Scott, of Los An- geles, noted for photographic feats in the South Sea Islands and whe far east. Two other camera men in the expedition are Henry Kohler of! Chi- cago, and Pliny Horne of Los An- geles. Dr. Joseph R. Armstrong of Los Angeles was chosen by the Uni- versal as physician and business manager. It is estimated the expedition will cost $200,000. It will cover upwards of 8,000 miles from one end of Africa to the other. Much of tite distance will be over- land travel. The nine members of the party will head a huge carava:, known in Africa as a “safri.” Negro porters of cried races, marshalied ur- der a “headman,” will numer _be- tween 150 and 200. The explorers will enter the dark continent at Capetown and come ou: at Mombasa, in Britizn Mast Africa, after scientific res and metion Picture work in the jungles and des- erts, the headwaters of tne Nile, and the famous “watern country,” where there are m wild animals to the square mile than anywhere else on earth. HIGH BORN WOMEN STAND BOLSHEVIST RULE BEST OF ALL London, July 15, (Correspondence of The Associated Press).—Of all the sufferers. from the Bolshevist regime in Hungary, the women he saw were the least unhappy, according to H. N. Brailsford, a well-known jour: nalist. ‘He says that during his stay there he met a good many aristocrats who were obliged to work for the first time in their lives, “Some were certainly angry,” he went on, “and a few were tearful. It may have ‘been chance, but the majority of vhose whom I happened} to meet, especially the women, were remarkably spirited and even gay. “I sat once in a drawing room in which each lady in turn began to recount her experiences in getting work. Most had succeeded. Most, had, met. with caurtesy and helpful- ness. These ladies seemed amusing- ly proud to discover that as linguists, teachers or musicians, they had a value, and a rather high value, in the labor market. “The women in this company were much happier than the men, obvious- ly because the revolution had eman- cipated them and ended a somewhat idle and useless existence.” HOPTON TAKES STATE POST Harold Hopton, a former Bismarck buy who had spent some time in France, returned to the city on Satur- Gay evening, having been away from Bismarck for the past 14 or 15 months. Mr. Hopton went from here as secre- tary to Lieut. Col Quain, and he has served with Dr. Quain since his re- turn from overseas. Since then he has been with the water analysis depart- ment of the A.

BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE ‘AMERICANS ‘MAD SAY FRANCE Ih HOGGING TRADE Financial Expert Finds Resent- ment Toward Attitude Shown by Latin Republic U. S. PRODUCTS BARRED Alleged That Altho Own Tool Men Can’t Supply Demand, © Yanks Cannot Get In BY RICHARD SPILLANE. Foremost American Financial Writer, and Special Contributor to the Daily Tribune. It is difficult’ for American manu- facturers to excuse the French for the attitude ‘they are assuming in trade matters. So much financial as- sistance was given to France in the war that it. was assumed America would have opportunity to play a con- siderablesiderable part in the rena- bilitation of French industries and vast amount of reconstruction neces- sary in that country. The French government, however, determined that while every ef‘ort should be made to promote the sale of French products in the markets of the world, the products of other na- tions should not be admitted into France until all the industrial estav- lishments of France were on a firm and solid basis. Not only that, but it was decided that none of the equipment of the Eritish or American armies in France should be sold there, as it would in- terfere with the sale of French-made goods. There is great need of tractors and motor trucks in ‘France. The British and Amcricans have many but can- not dispose of them, despite the fact that the French. are not in position to supply the present urgent demand. It is explained by the French gov- ernment that the restrictions are ne- cessary, a8 France is impoverished and cannot afford to spend money that will go out of the country. In vain, it has been urged thet the industrial and agricultural. revival of the republic will be delayed by lack of tools, machinery, farm implements that there is real economy in hasten- ing reconstruction. Now ‘bitterness has heeu engen- dered iby the treatment accorded to 25 large American. concerns that sent exhibits ‘to the Lyons Fair. The Lyons Fair’ has hear (one of the geratest features of ‘trade promo- ‘tion for many years. T'ne American establishments supposed they would receive the usual courtesies. They did ‘not. ‘From ‘the vice presiden: of an important American - corporation comes the following statement: “There were 25 American’ exhibi's. Our experience was) typival of ail. We sent over an elaborate display of steel goods, including automo ites and mo- tor trucks, Everything that ‘could happen to annoy, inconvenience and harrass us was our‘portion. We were subjected to a. delay of one month in getting our goods from a French port to Lyons. Instead of letting us have a position to show our products alongside those of other countries or jof France, they..assigned us to the Piano division. . We were made to understand we were . not welcome. The French have -a reputation for c*vility, but we got nothing -but in- civility. We. did not. make a sale in the whole time we were in France, and we felt when we left that they were glad to get rid of us. “Every American concern that had an exhibit at Lyons met antagonism and rebuff. : “Personally I am. ‘off’ the French. I used to admre them greatly, but that was before I went to France.” CANBY PREACHER TO SUBSTITUTE. . WHISTLE FOR OLD CHURCH BELL Candy, Minn, July 16—Rev A. Nordos, the local: pastor working on the theory that habit is the strongest point in human nature, if ‘directed properly, is seriously, considering placing a steam - whistle on his church instead of:a bell. The whistle will call the people of Canby to re- ligious services on Sunday, instead ;of the time honored ringing of the church bell. Advancing his arguments Rev. Mr. Nordos said the majority of the working class are called to their daily work by the sounding of a whistle, and regardless of what they may be dong when the sound is is foremost, the pastor believes, will work the bell to Sunday services, wi pee en heard, the call to their daily tasks When the whistle is heard on Sunday, the week-day call, in favor of the church and ‘bring many of. those who have not, responded to t of businesg;and resulted in 7 TS a eT | PREACHER DID IT And here’s the champion athlete of them all, a chaplain but.a sportsman.

Sports Writer Not n Jack Dempsey cornered the limelight more successfully than did Les Darcy, the famous Australian midleweight, when he invaded America @ year ago. And then sudden illness put the final knockout on the Austra- Han flash before he had the opportun-, ity of showing fans here just what he cculd do, Back: home a younger brother took up the task of writing “Darcy” prom-’ inently in the archieves of the boxing world. His name was Frank Darcy. THe was only a lad but he was making strides to the front as rapidly as did Les. Today word reaches us that he, too, is dead—a victim of pneumonia felowing flu. Had the Darcy brothers both lived the boxing world today would have) three sensations comparing with the greatest boxers of history. In their classes they were as good as the Utah Loy who just sent Williard to his Kan- sas farm. : BAKER TURNS SWEET JOB OVER TO FOOD | ADMINISTRATION Washington, July 16, (Special).— ‘The secretary of war has just turned over a “sweet” job to the United States food administration.

Any sugar shortage now existing in this country is ex- pected to be relieved immediately. In spite of the fact that the war department could have obtained a much higher price for its sugar if it had permitted its shipment abroad, the secretary felt that in view of the need for sugar during the canning season justified it in preventing its sale to foreign countries. Of this sugar, 17,000.000 pounls are stored in New Orleans, La., and 4,000,000 pounds .in San Francisco, Cal. Most of the sugar is to be dis- tributed among the southern states east of the Mississippi river as it is here that the sugar shortage is most prevailing. HOTEL KEEPER AIRS GRIEVANCE AGAINST HUGHES The railway commission devoted its forenoon to to an airing of the per- sonal grievances of a Bismarck ho- tel-keeper against the Hughes Elec- tric Co., against whose rates and service he ccmplained. The hotel, man, who was the only citizen who appeared in the action brought against the. Hughes Co., was repre- sented: by the ~ state’s attorney of Burleigh. The complainant. alleged that. his hotel di] not have sufficient heat and that. on several occasions power had been shut off. E. A. Hughes, president of the Hughes Co., when called to the stand declared the company had received more complaints from this hotel than from any other consumer. He admit- ted that there was not enough heat, but. declared it was because the hos- teiry’s piping was of insuficient size. partment thad accumulated: for the use of the army. ‘As none of this suger is to be Tel. 32 With regard to power interruptions, he stated that records showed a con- tinuous run of jower for more than two years when boiler trouble resulted in sev- eral five-minute shut-downs near mid- night. He admitted that such shut- downs might have interferred with the hotel’s elevator and ice plant, but declared them inavoidale tho not likely to occur again. The state’s attorney of Burleigh county on behalf of his client declared. he presented no other witnesses be- cause he believed the testimony of his solitary exhibit should be sufficient to convince the commission of the need of an investigation of the Hughes Co. He asserted his opinion that the Hughes Co.’s rates and service should de investigated because such rates and service never had been investi- gated and fixed.
