ig,f'fcjtizens’ Federation Declares e for Immediate Relief Y3ie 4 . Without Probe. *"DISAGREE OVER BOUNDARY &l § a1 ¥ sJowa Circle Associatior (!hmd With Encroaching on Mid- ok, City Territory. 1 Voting down a resolution from the 71'Columbia Helghts Citizens' Associa- 9:ion for a general survey of the Dis +_ trict's school needs by the U. 8. bur- ~.eau of education, the Federation of 17 Citizen’s Associations, last night, de- Ziclared for immediate reliet of the #; acute school building situation, with- % out further investigation, and for the “¢reation by Congress of a permanent school building commission, as rec- ommended in the report of the school house commission of 1907-08. The Federation's action, unanimously taken, was based on a report brought in by its school committee, of which Jesse C. Suter is chairman. Senator ‘! Capper, chairman of the congressional joint committee on schools, had re- quested an expression of the Federa- fiqion's views on the Columbia Helghts . proposal. Oppose Outside Probe. Should Congress deem a further sur- vey of the schools essential, the report adopted stated, it should be conducted by a special commission of local of- ficials rather than by a federal bureau. The report further recommended that, _in the event Congress should authorize i a survey by the U. S. Bureau of Edu- cation, “It should be made in con- {unction with the local authoritles in- erested in school matters rather than “*through the opinions of people from iother sections of the country not “¢ familiar with local conditions.” Concerning the proposal for the ‘oreation of a permanent school build- ! ing commission, the report stat such a commission, composed of the Engineer Commissioner, superintend ent of schools and municipal.archi tect, “with adequate appropriations framed with more elasticity than sults after appropriations are written. ~~The lack of such elasticity in appro- priations frequently necessitates tak- ing the same proposition back to Con- £ress before the work can even be- in. . S Another repcrt brought in by the “eommittee, which the federation also unanimously adopted. calls upon the people of the District to engage in spublic discussions of the school build- ing situation during the week Decem- ber 4 to 10, which President Harding has designated as American Educa- tion week. The report urges organi- zations and individuals to send letters o the President and to the members of the Senate and the House request- ing that “immediate adequate pro- vision be made for our schools. * Seek Membership in Federation. Charles A. Baker, recently elected president of the federation, presided at the meeting, which was held in the -ent. A school matters, the session was given over to a consideration of the appli- eation for membership submitted by the Iowa Circle Citizens' Association. This recently vrganized body has ex- : .tended its bwzndaries into territory “claimed by thé Mid-City Citizens’ As- socation and because of this fact the latter organization has opposed its efforts to become a. member of the federation. A special committea of the feder- ation, headed by H. V. Speelman, had . ‘sought to iron out the differences be- tween the associations and brought in .M report last night, showing that * Bnly two squares are now involved in the boundary dispute. But the Towa Association practically nullified the Avork of the committee by informing *#'the federation at last night's meeting that, unless the boundary concessions it had made were approved. the feder- tion could consider its application for membership withdrawn. 1t was decided to recommit the matter to the \-#pecial committee. £ Commissioners Are Commended. In this connection President Baker announced he had appointed a com- mittee to consider revision of the gconstitution of the federation and that the committee would be in- structed to review the present re- yuirements for membership and the advisability of adding to them a boundary qualification. The commit- tee consists of four ex-presidents of the federation—W. B. Westlake, D, A. Edwards, Edward F. Colladay and William = McK. Clayton—and ~three other delegates—William B. Todd, Warner Stutler and Jesse C. Suter.

' SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO! FROM THE FROZEN NORTH of Baffins Land, Never Before Vis- - ited by White Men. Civilization,, Giving Them Time.Daily From Annapolis. Donald Macmillan Has been heard from! ) The intrepid veteran of Peary’s dash to the north pole has reached the mysterious west coast of Baffins Land, where the foot of white man has never trod, and where, according to Eskimo ac- counts, lie towcnng mountains with fantastic ice caps, and vast lakes bordered with strange flowers of rare beauty and a whole new world of animal life. } _In the interior of this strange place, for the exploration of which Macmillan went into the north, legends place a race of people hitherto unknown to the outside world. Macmillan’s party is by this time probably ashore in winter quarters. First word from him is contained in the long dispatch published below. He wrote it aboard his little schooner Bowdoin, tucked into a snug harbor on the coast of Baffins Land, 1,700 miles north of Washington. .. More than three months ago he hammered out his story on a little typewriter, started it toward Washington in the hands of an Eskimo trader, who, in turn, gave it to a mail carrier. at one of the Hnd.sun Bay Company: posts. Finally the letter reached St. JS(‘:hns, Newfoundland, and from there it was sent to The Sunday ar. . Far away in the frozen north; Macmillan’s band set up its little wireless outfit and was delighted to discover that they could listen in on messages from twelve wireless stations in the civilized world —the first Arctic expedition to keep in touch with home by this rapidly perfecting modern invention. But what Macmillan saw in revisiting his favorite northern hav:nbls he d;:sc;_nbes al§ a xcni_ib{,e picture of suffering. “There would not be one Eskimo alive in Labrador today, i lnnleBhand of Maravianflnirionaries sfenL emsalt oot for:8 notle ut no one can tell the story v i i o oncicen. y so well as the explorer does in — e ] BY DONALD B.

F., cook, and Donald B. MacMillan, Fox Land is very different from what we find on our latest maps. Cape Wes- ton and Gape Dorchester are some thirty miles too far to the northward, and at least a degree out of longi- tude. : ‘Thirty miles or so south of the arc- tic circle the coast line trends due eastward almost to the shores of Net- tiling lake. There the country is low and rolling and abounding with herds of caribou. Upon these herds we shall depend for food and clothing it mass. The homes in Okak are datk, not a light, nor the found of a voice, nor laughter of children about the shore, nor a note of music, which the Eskimo loves 60 well. It is a dead, silent town, in striking contrast to the cheery little place I visited in 1911 and 19 Hebron, 10 miles to the norty, suffered the same fate, not one survivor being left. The Eskimos who happened to be we should fail to reach the Fury and Hecla straits. Our wireless, installed by Prof. Pierce of Harvard, is still with us. Yesterday we heard the time signal sent out by Annapolis. When in win- ter quarters we shall put up a larger antenae and undoubtedly keep In touch with home through the year. As yet we have seen no polar bear or walrus, but seals, ducks, snow geese are very numerous all along this shore. To supplement our sup- ply on the Bowdoin we hope to secure & goodly number of the latter before their departure for the south, about the middle of September. If no word should be received from us by April or May, vou may know that we are compelled to go into win- ter quarters on the western shores of Baffins Land. . Need American Help. The Moravians and the Eskimos, sur- vivors of the Nortaern Labrador, are deserving of and need the help of the American people, who are always so ready to give when help is really needed.

He announced that Crocker Land was not “land.” as | belleved possible by Peary, buf an ice mirage. During the coming winter attempts will be made to explore the coast of Baffins Land, and next summer it is_planned to penetrate the interjor, where, according to Eskimo tales, there exists one of the richest and most alluring flelds of research in the north. The island is said to have great mineral deposits and to possess high_mountains and beautiful lakes which have never been seen by white men. The region is believed to be an immense breeding ground for water fowl. whose nesting habits will be the subject of study. while the pro- gram of the scientists of the expedi- tion also calls for field work in zoolo. gY, botany, geology, meteorology and terrestrial magnetism. Special obser- | vations will be taken of the magnetic pole, which was located first by James Ross in 1830 on the farther side of the Boothia peninsula, not far from Mac- millan's proposed winter camp. May Retreat by Sleds. An attempt also will be made to circumnavigate Baffins Land. In the event of a serious mishap to the Bow- doin, the party plans to retreat by dog sledge to Fort Churchill, a trad- ing post at the foot of Hudson bay, and thence return to civilization by Way of northwestern Canada. Sup- plementing the scientific equipment of Macmillan, the party included G. Dawson Howell of Boston, who has been especially trained for the work of making observations in terrestrial magnetism for the Carnegie Institu- tion. Howell also is the operator of the wireless outfit with which the ex- pedition is keeping in touch with the outside world.
