Smith and the wave of that carrying to him the great Democrats of all sections of the country the summer of 1896 The Bryan wave spent its force before the. mid- dle of October, but Jermane thinks it may be different with Gov. Smith, and gives his reasons: 8 Here the analogy ends. In the y of a public record Bryan had back of him nothing but four years of unevent- ful service in the House of Repre- sentatives. In addition, the gr ma- jority of thinking people believed he was advocating something that was economically unsound, the result of whose approval would be disastrous to the country.

The record has stood up against bitter and unceasing attack, and he is regarded as one of the two or three greatest Governors State ever has had. He is a statesman; Bryan was regarded by many people political adventurer, showy on the surface, but shallow This difference between them add somewhat to the duration of the wave of emotionalism which would sweep over the country following Smith's SP and enthusiastic nomination. Even if the wave were to spend its force prior to election day—as it would if starting too soon—he would still have the wecord which made the nomina- tion possible, and it would give him many votes that no other Democrat could control is his as a might WASHINGTON MEMORIAL CHURCH FOR VALLEY FORGE.

On their way Barrow, Alaska, they landed near the radio station, a jump of 2,200 miles, made in 20% hours on 370 gallons cf gasoline. Capt. Wilkins, Arctic explorer, made this ‘incomparable flight,” to use the words of Roald Amundsen, to determine whether there was any undiscovered land between Alaska and Spitz- bergen He h mashed five planes in previous attempts, these ing back to 19 The small monoplane, Vega with a Wright whirlwind motor, weighs 1,650 pounds, goes 135 miles an hour and the load carried weighed as much as the plane. Green Harbor, Spitzbergen, where they landed April 21, is about 375 miles from Norway. The Wilkins' flight sponsored by the Na- tional Ge phic Society of the U. 8. and financied by funds raised in Detroit—just as his (Wilking) earlier explo had been financed by Detroit funds. Explorer Stefansson points out that flight—the t airplane journey from the polar area—was over a cour that will shorten by hundreds of miles the distance between continents. He depicts the North Pole the new crossroads of the world when air caravans of the future will meet in their journeys from continent to continent. Dr. Isiah Bowman, Director of the American Geo- graphical Society, says that the Wilkins flight “ends the age of discovery begun by Columbus for mankind has now searched the entire globe.” Capt. Wilkins is an Australian, He was offered the job of Air Minister, but preferred explorer's work He covered the Balkan War as a newspaperman, was an aviator in the World War, and accompanied Shackleton on his An- taretic expedition, which cost Shackleton's life. After” hig previous failures to cross the North Pole Wilkins decided not to tell the world about his flight until after he succeeded. When he finally did so it was in the shortest possible terms. He probably sent the message himself, because the regular radio operator at the Spitz- bergen station had been killed in an accident a few ¢ before Wilking' arrival. This was the fourth expedition to see \tll'll Pole, but the first to fly across it in a heavier than air machine. Admiral Robert BE. Peary discovered the Pole in 1909. In May, 1926, Commander Richard E. Byrd flew to the Pole from Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, and return. The time for the non-stop flight was 16 hours. A few days later the dirigible Norge carrying the Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile expedition, flew from Spitzbergen to Alaska across the North Pole. completing the first orth Pole, via Point like the transatlantic landing cn an islet, and were detained back from Point Sp which they this the Britain Owns Most of C.

For obvious reasons this would not be an altogether desirable change, although Ameri- can investment capital is welcomed in the Dom- inion. The figures cited show that the share- holders of the company are still mainly British and Canadian. It is not at all surprising that Americans should own more than one-quarter of the stock, eonsidering how heavily they have invested in Canadian industry since the war.
