FRANZ JOSEF LAND TAKEN FROM MAP Area Named in Honor of Fa- mous Emperor Is Rechris- {ened by Soviets. Pranz Josef Land is no more. By vote of the Russian Association of Sclence, according to dispatches from Norway, the name Fridtjof Nansen Land has been substituted for the for- ber title that was given in honor of the famous Emperor of Austria. “Its new name fits the Arctic archi- pelago _appropriately, because the islands figured in one of the most dra- matic episodes of the late Pridtjof Nan- sen’s career as an_explorer,” says & bulletin of the Naval Geographic Society. Islands Saved Nansen's Life, “The land which has been named for him literally saved his life and pre- served him for the valuable humani- tarian career that reached a climax when he, in co-operation with Herbert Hoover, saved the lives of millions of famine-stricken Russians. “Fridtjof Nansen and a small party, on board the specially constru Fram, entered the ice floes off North- ern Siberia in 1893 and, locked in the ice pack, drifted for 35 months without sighting land and without a single con- tact with the world. In fact, the world believed Nansen and his crew lost. “When the Fram failed to drive over the North Pole, as Nansen hoped she would, the explorer conceived & dlrlnd' two-man dash to the top of the world. Nansen and Johansen, with three sledges, 22 dogs and two kayaks (Es- kimo canoes) did not attain their ob- Jjective, but they made a new ‘farthest rorth’ 86 degree and 12 minutes, just 228 miles from the Pole. ‘Turnini south, the two men started on one of the longest marches ever made over Arctic ice. Finally they were reduced to two dogs. Johansen was struck down by a hungry polar bear, but escaped death. “At last they reached Eva Island, one of the outlying islands of what now becomes Fridtjof Nansen Land. The they built a stone hut and lived chiefly on bear meat during the entire Win- ter. In the Spring they started south for the main islands of the group. Nansen’s gayak was attacked by a_huge walrus that drove its tusks through the fragile craft, but Nansen scrambled out on a cake of ice as the tiny boat filled with water. “While they were planning to reach civilization by a long, dangerous sea trip to Novaya Zemlya, Nansen heard a dog bark. He started off and met, to his great joy, Frederick Jackson, leader of an English expedition. Al- though Jackson had met Namsen years before, he failed for the moment to rec- ognize in the bearded, black-skinned, sooty-haired wanderer the famous blond Norwegian explorer. Nansen and Johansen came home on the Eng- lish party’s whaler: the ‘Fram’ arrived a few days later. Nansen, who had been given up for dead, received & tremen- dous welcome. Embsaces Most Northerly Land. “Former Franz Josef Land, contain- ing the most northerly land yet dis- covered, finds its greatest usefulness to the world as a memorial. As a whole it now becomes a snow-white monument in honor of a man of the North. - S1aR, WAdDnINGLIUN, MONDAY, Plans Paris Flight W. 8. MACLAREN, Newark, N.

His workers have refused to accept an announced 20 per cent wage cut, and threaten to stop work on the great steel tube the French sclentist needs for his experiment. Claude said the laborers “apparently do not realize the necessity which compels me to cut wages” and de- clared he would ask government inter- vention if work l'aplped. He hopes to be able to complete con- struction of the tube and have it launched by August 8. U. S. MIDSHIPMEN TOUR HAMBURG AND BREMEN North German Lloyd Honors Americans With Luncheon.

Channels and capes and headlands demand titles. There were no inhabitants to label them, so the various explorers had free rein to distribute names as they went along. “It is easily possible to recognize the nationality of the exploring parties, as well as the period of their work, by merely reading the map—British Chan- nel, "Alexandra Island, Straits, Cambridge Bay, Wilczek Island, Wayprecht Sea, Crown Prince Rudolf Land, Pierpont Morgan Strait, Vander- bilt Sound, Graham Bell Island, Whit- ney Sea. Austrians, English, Americans, Norwegians and Italians have shared in making known the secrets of this ice- bound archipelago. Nearer Pole Than Spitsbergen. “Thirty of the islands in the group are 10 miles or more in length, and the remainder, scores of them, are small. Several are as much as 50 miles long. As a whole Fridtjof Nansen Land lies slightly farther north than Svalbard (Spitzbergen) and it is as far north of the Murman coast of Soviet Russia as Chicago is from New Orleans. “Because of its far mnorthern posi- tion and the greater distance the Arctic arm of the Gulf Stream must flow to reach it, Fridtjof Nansen Land is mark: ed by Arctic conditions to a greater ex- tent than Svalbard. It is called ‘the world’s most characteristic polar land. Most of the islands are plateaus under 1,000 feet elevation and covered with domes of ice. Less than 5 per cent of the surface is free of snow, even in| Summer. “Only lichens, mosses, several grasses and poppies grow where the sun melts through the snow. Polar bears and foxes live on the islands; walrus and seals frequent the nearby waters, The islands are richest in bird life. Thou- sands of little auks, dovekies and other birds come to the islands in March and remain until September. CIVIC BODIES TO MEET rn & luncheon in tors. Ambassador Harmsworth | i day.
