By the Associated Press. COPENHAGEN, September 12.—It is generally believed here that Capt. Roald Amundsen, Nor- wegian explorer, has already under- taken his daring flight across the North Pole from northern -Alaska. This bellef is fur- ther strengthened by the fact that the Norwegla government has asked _the well known Danish_ex- plorer, Capt. Gott- fried ' Hansen, t undertake a relief expedition. Capt. Hansen, ‘who is busy work- ling out a scheme for the exploration A%| of western Greenland next spring, Is nable to accede to the request, but an interview emphasizes the neces- ity of sending an urgent relief expedi- ¢ i tion to pick up Amundsen, whose air , | crossing, in his- opinion, narily dangerous, it being virtually im- s extraordi- ible to land anywhere on the rough lar ice without serious accident.

Treasury Indicates $65,000,- 000 Interest Will Be Forth- coming October 15. Great Britain probably will begin the payment of interest’ on her war debt to this country before arrange- ments are made for the funding of the $5,000,000,000 of obligations, it was indicated today at the Treasury. On October 15, officials declared, the first installment of interest on- the British debt, amounting to $65,000,000, falls due, and although a British financial mission has been expected to leave England in time to begin funding negotiations with the Ameri- can debt commission by the latter part of this month, so far this coun- try has not been notified of,its im- pending departure. Possible Arrangements. ‘With September nearly half gone, officials expressed the belisf that 1 funding arrangements could not be worked out with Great Britain before the latter part of October. - The view, however, was ressed at the Treasury that Great Britain would meet the October 15 install- ment of interest, making paymen through New York ban! ,” a8 the rd‘llll:ll:;l :gv‘erb;fl;‘t is b.b'n' liquidat- a lovember 15, about $35,000,000, or the ot of the semi-annual installment of inter- est, falls due, the program for Eng- land meeting its war-time obligations to this country will have been pleted. | Vast Payments !

The location favored by the Fine Arts Commission, and eriginally planned for in the development of Washington’s park system. extends from the | Lincoln Memorial to a peint directly on a line te the Lee Mansion. The other proposal advanced, to which the Fine Arts Commission takes excep- ce the bridge on an extension of New York avemue, mecessitate the destruction of some of the Naval Hospital buildings, and lead to| nces, which are pointed out in detall by the Fime Arts Commisaion. | L] ARTS COMMISSION TURNS DOWN SITE FOR NEW BRIDGE | to (Continued from First Page.) _r“ to or from a bridge much better than New York avenue, being fed by prac- tically every north and south street. except 16th street, throughout the length of the city proper. Development -Sure to Come. In answer to the sixth argument, that the bridge at New York avenue would aid the development of that thoroughfare, the communication de- clares that “this development is cer- tain to come in any event. The ques- tion is as to whether an increased development is worth the price of dismembering the Naval Hospital and the destruction of valuable buildings.” That a more imposing _structure | could be crerated on the New York | avenue line Mr. Moore holds true,| provided the bridge would be made the only feature in the landscnne.l Taking up this seventh argument,| Mr. Moore says: | ‘As & matter of fact, the bridge is| only one of many elements in a large | d comprehensive plan. As such it| ould take its place. Otherwise, ! however imposing it may be in itsel: it will be 8o unrelated to other stru tures near it as to become an ex- ample of bad taste.” Mr. Moore quotes Frederick Law | Olmsted, sole surviving member of | the Commission of Fine Arts of 1901; | Henry Bacon, arehitect of the Li coln Memorial, and James L. Green- | leaf, " landscape _artist morial bridge should be erected d rectly across to the Arlington man- sion. i After considering the original plans of L'Enfant for the city, the regard | which the park commission had for these plans, the fact that the ap-; proaches from Potomac Park to the| bridge at the memorial can be so planned that vehicles need not come within 500 feet of the memorial in order to cross the bridge, Mr. Moore states, in conclusion, that a high ma- sonry bridge starting from the Naval Hospital grounds on the axis of New York avenue would have no direct connection with and no architectural relation at all to Potomac Park. ‘Would Cut Off View. “By reason of its great height, 100 feet, and the large scale of its arches, it would diminifsh the scale of the Lincoln Memorial, and the bridge, by reason of its oblique di- rection, would appear to be closing in on the memorial,” Chairman Moore says. “Also it would cut off the view of the memorial from Georgetown and from the Key bridge.” He con- tinues, in summary: “The WYridge in any case should be -very simple in design, to accord with the Doric order of the Lincoln Memo- rial, and the bridge should be no more elaborate in one location than in the other. The plan of 1901 calls for a much shorter /pasonry structure On the Virginia -e than is estimated in the engineer’s report evYen for a low bridge on the New York avenue site. The bridge on the Lincoln Memorial- Arlington site, by reason of the fact that it involves the least masonry, is least expensive. =~ “The main axis of the Mall links together the Capitol, the Washington ‘Monument and the Lincoln Memo- T and it was the wise plan of the great designers of the scheme to carry, by means of & memorial bridge, this~ axis on. to Arlington. Thus without interruption the beholders of the monumenss would have im- pnessed . on _their minds the vista which binds them together and ding to the importance of each, makes one grand sweep from the Capitol to the mansion on the = heights of Arlington. It will be, ‘when ‘completed, one of the greatest compositions in architectural design 1 e world. Its value would be most serjously lessened if the bridge ‘Dhflned to connect the Lincoln Me- morial with Arlington is placed else- ‘where, 2 “The New York ayenueé bridge, 100 feet high, would cost a great deal more than the other; but, economical considerations aside, a memorial bridge from the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington, forming an integral part of the big plan of Washington, is so essentia] to the design already car- ried to the brink of the Potomac that it should be absolutely the choice of orities.
