CANADA DISTURBED FORLAND IN ARCTIC Takes Initial Step to Protect Claim to Unknown Territory Against U. S. Explorers. Canada has sent word to the United States Government that the MacMil- lan-Byrd expedition to the Arctic should request permission to cross Ellsmere Land, as the latter is claimed to be Canadlan territory. The Navy Department transmitted the communication to the Department of State before acting upon it, the point being that if the United States asks permission this will amount to & racognition of Canada’s claim to own: 4rsbip of Ellsmere Land. W. W. Cory, deputy minister of the interlor, made a special trip to Wash- ington to discuss the matter with the American Government, and this now Has been followed up by a formal note from the Canadian minister of the in- terior, Charles Stewart, who expresses the hope that it is not the intention of the proposed expedition to lay claim to territory within Canada’s jurisdiction. Claims to polar land are vague af- fairs anyhow, but the Canadian gov- ernment has drawn a line on the map from western Canada to the eastern part of Greenland and claims every- thing north of the line to the pole it- self, including Ellsmere Land, as well as Crocker Land, which Peary report- ed seeing on his journey to the Pole. Based on Russian Treaty. The Canadian government bases its claim largely on its treaty with Russia. but so far as has been ascertained thus far there is nothing on record be- tween the United States Government and Canada which concurs in the Canadian claim. As a general rule claims for unex- plored territory have in past history been superseded by actual discoveries and new explorations, and the Ameri- can authorities incline to the view that if the MacMillan expedition finds new land after a hazardous trip the United States should be entitled to claim it. The American Government is will- ing, however, to discuss the matter fully before arriving at a conclusion. 8o far as permission to cross Canadian territory is concerned, it is not con- sidered probable that the Ottawa government will require a definition of the American Government's posi- tion before allowing the explorers to cross Canadian territory. It is not customary to ask permission from a foreign country for permission to sail to a foreign port, though there have been understandings made with ref- erence to the use of.planes by gov- ernments. In this case, the territory is uninhabited and the sending of planes across the region would not imperil any life. Discussion Is Friendly. The whole discussion is being han- dled in the friendliest fashion, and if a dispute did arise at some subsequent date with respect to the ownership of any newly discovered land, the Amer- ican Government probably would be willing to submit it to a competent in- ternational tribunal before which all the facts and precedents could be mar- shaled. The . Canadian government has appointed a commission to investi- gate the matter, and it is not unlikely that meanwhile the American Govern- ment will do likewise or turn it over ultimately to the joint high commis- sion which handles all matters affect- ing the boundaries between the United States and Canada. Recently the United States Govern- ment found it necessary to ask per mission from the government of Den- mark to establish a base at Etah.

The negotiation took a long time, but the ity Mot center on a question Of territory claimed, but on an episode in a previ- ous MacMillan expedition when one of the members is said to have killed an_Egkimo. The story is. that the American started' away from- MacMillian and the rest of the party in a dash to the Pole on his own behalf and when he had gone a-considerable distance +one of the Eskimos tired of the jour ney and started back with the dogs. This would have meent death by starvatidn to the American in ques- tion, who is reported to have shot the Eskimo, thus claiming self defense. The Danish government has appar- ently been satisfied with the explana- tion as permission has been. granted the MacMillan party to cross Green- land and establish any base there that may be necessary.

ALBAN'S VISITED BY 189,426 Wilson and Dewey Shrines Vie in Interest With Other National Memorials Here. Nearly 200,000 persons in the last year havo visited the Bethlehem Chapel of the Washington Cathedral, ‘where the tombs of Woodrow Wilson and Admiral George Dewey are lo- cated, the National Cathedral Founda. tion announced today. By actual count the number of vis- itors entering the chapel from Easter Sunday, 1924, to Easter Sunday, 1925, was 189,425. This total does not in- clude other thousands who attended the great open-air services on Mount St. Alban during the Summer season, or who inspected recent construection work and other attractions within the Cathedral Close of nearly 70 acres. The monthly total of visitors reached its highest point during April of this year, when 35,000 peopie passed through the Bethlehem Chapel and the curator’s office which has been erected to offer hospitality to tourists from all over the United States and the world. In comparison with the 200,000 visi- tors to the Gothic edifice slowly ris- ing on the highest hill in the District, the figures for the Corcoran Art Gal- lery for the last calendar year show 177,240 visitors, the Washington Monu- ment with *its 350,000 visitors and Mount Vernon witlk more than 300,000. The visitors were informed that great progress in completing the Ca- thedral is scheduled to be made in the next five yvears. The Cathedral now is one-eighth completed. OLDEST GENEALOGICAL RECORDS DISCOVERED Oriental Explorer Also Finds Hith- erto Unknown Hierarchy of Aryan Gods. By the Associated Press. NIW. YORK, June 4.—The dis- archy of Aryan gods, several huge stone age cities and the oldest set of genealogical records in existence was anoounced yesterday by Dr. Edward Chiera of the American School of ‘Ori- ental Research, who arrived here after making excavations near Assyria. Dr. Chiera brought with him 1,000 clay tablets, comprising the records of several generations of a wealthy fam- ily of Mitanni, at one time an impor- tant nation of Asia Minor. The tab- lets, which date back to about 1500 B.CC., are considered by Dr. Chiera to throw valuable light on the civilization of this time and place. So far the tablets have been studied only super- ficially, but a more careful study of them will be made soon. Doctors End Convention. LONDON, June 4 (®).—The Ameri- can and Canadian doctors attending the Interstate Post-Graduate Assem- bly held their final sclentific session today.
