October "he problems o defense by ®ater, by land ir are now under considera- v the imperial conference and will occupy the delegates for the res mainder of the week. The dominion premiers realize fully the primary importance of Great Brit- ain's naval development, upon which depends the future of the empire. 4 Their dominions are so widely sep- arated and so vulnerable to enemy attack that the burden of maintain- ing @ huge navy necessarily must fall partly upon their shoulders. after the war ended, several dominion leaders believed the time Rad come for each unit in the empire to maintain its own naval defenses, o build and man its own navy.

FRANKFORT, Germany, October 17. —W. Mittelholzer, who recently made an airplane flight for nearly seven hours over the northeastern part of Spita- bergen and the Arctic sea, is confident that a flight across the north pole in & large plane is feasible. Airplanes are' much less sensitive to weather condi- tions than Zeppelins, and Mittelholzer | thinks their greater speed makes them : an {deal craft for polar explorations, provided they can be constructed large enough to carry an abundance of pro- | visions and a slide for use in getting | started again in case they are forced to | land. i Starting from_Icefjord with one com- panion, Herr Mittelholzer flew over about 1,000 kilometers of Spitabergen | territory which has not been visited by ! white men, so far as is known. The | 1 entire Spitzbergen archipelago was | traversed and photographs_were taken | from the air. The aviatar describes the | country as one of wondrous beauty, ' with great ice plaint mingled with dar] blue waters and with a sky similar to that of Ita Not to Be Considered. § From Life.
