However, the scientific material will have to be study. Then only will it be possible to estimate properly the final re- sults of the activities of our expedi- tion in their entirety. It may be said without exaggera- |task—we are exceedingly happy at |the thought that we were able to | justify the confidence placed in us. It is true, good luck was with the expedition, an element which is also qu.te essential in the case uf expedi- tions invo urexplore> regicns, And, indeed in most cases we encountered | favorable winds; when we needed | sunshine we had it.

A. Berezkin, made: thirty- seven hydrological charts in those places of the northern Polar seas in which nobody had ever made obser- vations with regard to the tempera- ture, salt content, and density of water. A study of these observa- tions will give a fairly complete pic- ture of the distribution of the warm and cold stream currents north of Spitsbergen and between the latter and Franz Josef Land, and especially about the influence of the Gulf Stream in those waters. At the same time the study of the distribution and especially of the creation of ice fields in that region will complete our knowledge in that field, and the marking of the depths during the entire cruise will furnish scores of new points on the tremen- dous “white” space north of Spits- bergen, where since our cruise the | exact depths have become known. | In view of the tasks confronting her, the “Krassin” made only very few stops at the shores. However, | geological researches were conducted | by us wherever we stopped and we brought back several hundred pounds of petrographical material.

First of all we had started out with the firm determination to achieve the rescue of the ill-fated Italians in the shortest possible and jin the most practicable way. Hav- jing set to ourselves that task we approached its execution in a scien- anew the conditions under which work is to be conducted in the Arc- tic. The experience of many Polar explorations was behind us, and an exact knowledge of the meteorologi- cal factors, of the condition and the movement of the ice floes, of the currents, etc., made us perceive im- mediately that the execution of the task in hand, ie, the rescue of the Italian expedition, required a pow- erful ice-breaker which alone would be able to overcome the icy barrier unsurmountable to all the other ships. assisted by an airplane with a suf- ficient radius of activity; the air- | Plane being the eye of the expedi- | tion, | It was exceedingly important to | outlined with great exactness, due d in | by the way, not a single one use: | ice-breakers, The only precedent it | of the Soviet ice-breaker “Yermak,” ‘north of Spitsbergen. And, indeed, Makarov’s northern trip was for us |@ splendid example. We had correctly decided upon | the western route which meant that | the Italian group from the west and | the north of Spitsbergen. But when venturing upon our rather difficult | trip, though we had a minutely elab- |orated plan, we were considering the | probability, and even absolute possi- | bility, of a number of unexpected joceurrences and those grave ob- |stacles which the elements present |in the North and which might be overcome only with the aid of ex- per’ence, patience, prudent courage |and presence of mind. For that purpose it was necessary | to be provided with a personnel that was irreproachable and highly qual- | ified. It will be no boasting if we |say that the personnel of the ex- redition fully came up to the re- aurements of the task; both the commanding staff and the crew con- sisted of selected sailors who had an exceptionally rich and unique ex- perience of sailing or ice-breakers it is hardly necessary to speak of the rersonne! and the activity of our aviation group—it has won the admiration cf the etir> world. However, the decisive facior deter- mining the success of every expedi- tion, and in paiticuler of a Polar expedition, is the unity .f purpose, the coordination of activities of all parts of the expedition. Fully con- elements, and owing to the spirit of the entire personnel of the expedi- tion, and the firm determination to succeed, we were able to carry out all the separate tasks with which we were confronted in the course of the expedition. And the friendly, purely comradely relations between the commanding staff and the crew created an exceedingly agreeable at- mosphere in the course of the en- tire cruise that lasted nearly four months. Every task, even the most difficult, the most perilous and en- ervating, was being carried out gaily, with enthusiasm. There is no doubt that the firal aim of the expedition —the saving of human Leings— was able to i-spire our boys « make the greatest sacrifices if necessary. Moreover, every gne felt that our fellow citizens had sent us, as it were, in the capacity of pioneers, of an advance troop, in the struggle for our culture, and we had to show what we could do. Now that the work had been achieved—and it [must be admitted that it was a hard tific way. We did not have to study | The ice-breaker was to be| |to the familiarity with all the pre- | ceding Polar expeditions, of which, | | this respect was for us the journey | the attempt was to be made to reach | in the midst ef vrending icy wastes. | scious of the importance of all these, | How strange was it to read sub- sequently in the European press the admiring voices referring to this | “self-sacrifice.” For our aviators, | for all of us, this was something quite usual, quite natural. It would not have occurred to any one of us first to save “our own people,” and then to go to the rescue of the “strangers.” We knew that our men would hold out, and that it was ne- cessary to hurry to the rescue of the others who were losing their courage in the midst of the icy wastes, Were our men and the boat ex- posed to any danger? Of course | they were; otherwise it would have | been impossible to effect the rescue. | Our ice-breaker was mortally wound- {ed; deprived of one screw blade, |with a damaged rudder, we were | risking too much, and the entire |personnel of the expedition were | fully conscious of it. But could we |have acted otherwise, and stop our |further progress? Of course not. It would have been a disgrace—and so we achieved our purpose, The second period, after the re- pairs effected in the docks of Stav- anger—was not easier than the first one. The late fall, or more exactly, eginning of winter in the Polar region, unfavorable meteorological | conditions, the frost, the appearance of new ice—all this greatly handi- | capped our activities. | Nevertheless, I am convinced that we did every conceivable thing that |was in our power. Our aviators were carrying out flights at a time when nobody else was ready to do \so. “Krassin” carefully scrutinized hundreds of thousands of square! miles, unfortunately without results: | but this was not our fault. At any | rate, in the course of our research we went as far as 81° 47’ of northern latitude, a point that was never | reached by another boat at that time jot the year. Being exactly cognizant | of the time when the catastrophe of the “Italia” occurred, as well as of the meteorological conditions obtain- ing at that time, we mapped out the region which we were going to ex- plore, and in doing so we reached | the location in which, since 1707, Gilies Land was supposed to be situ- ated, but we did not find it. Such |a land does not exist. We have, so | to speak, crossed it on our ice-break- ler, Thereafter we went to Franz Joseph Land and established a depot on Cape Neal of Prince George | Land. Should anybody drift into this direction, he can find food, clothing and shelter on that cape. Moreover, | due to a strong wind and ice washed to the shore, we had great difficul- | ties in leaving that shore on a barge and in reaching our ship, What could be done? Such trips are not being made without risk. What about our scientific work? For the first time exact meteoro- logical observations were being made at that altitude; they were being daily reported by radio to our geo- physical laboratory, and to the geo- physical institutes in Bergen and Tromsé. It is obvious that these reports were exceedingly important | morning forcing “reservationists” to | | abandon the “Round Robin” petition. | They felt the petition would materially delay a vote on the treaty.

It is recognized by all the political | experts here, admitted by Reed and | Moses, and hardly denied by any of | their followers, that the so-called | “reservationists” are waging a sham to connect geological investigations with topographical surveys, though they were only hasty sketches. On the way we were collecting botanical and zoological material. We killed three ice bears, two rein- deer and many specimens of birds.

Pretends Grafters Will Take Care of Sewage Continued from Page One with lake traffic in the smaller ports up state, where the steel trust boats take on ore to carry down to Gary and Hammond. The lake states asked an injunction against Chicago’s use of the water. The im- mediate injunction denied, Taft’s decision is a decree that this water must be left in the Lake, after “a reasonable and practical time limit for the arrangement of sewage disposal.” Anybody who expects the Chi city government to really “r ably and practically” spose of sewage which it has never made any real attempt to control before, can have the record before him of ten years’ talk in the city council about subway building to dispose of the worst crowding in any city in the world without even the beginning of subway construction. “Continuous and Speedy.” In his long opinion, Chief Justice Taft declared the Chicago drainage district had defied the authority of the national government in increas- ing the diversion from 4,167 cubic feet a second to 8,500 cubic feet. In denying the injunction and taking this way out of the difficulty Chief | Justice Taft said: | “Though the restoration of just rights to complainants (the upper lake states) will be gradual instead of immediate, it must be continuous and as speedy as practicable, and must include everything that is es- sential to an effective project.” | upper is but $$$ battle to prevent a general confla- gration, The Phoenix, Bigelow, New Standard, Oil Standard and Bemis and Cooper buildings already had been destroyed, and firemen were concentrating on the Gill block, which was in danger.
