ALASKAN SAYS
NO CHANCE OF
AERIAL MAIL
SFATTLK.—From the battlefields
of Kurope where lie is studying avia
tion in preparation for entrance into
aerial warfare, Kenneth Man*, veter
an Alaskan and well known in Seat
tie sounds a word against the pro
posed air-mail route between Nome
and Seward.
“It can not he done.” writes Marr
to T. M. Clowes, a Seattle friend,
“ami I say that after having tested
and operated some of the most efli
cient Hying machines in the world to
day”
Marr’s objection against the much
discussed aerial route for Alaska is iit
agreement with W. K. Boeing's op»n
ion on the proposition. Boeing is om
of Seattle’s most experienced ffyin*
men ami always has maintained that
the plan is impractical.
“I am at present operating ar*
Avion de C’hasse machine, one of tt-.e
swiftest and strongest air-craft
known.” writes Marr. “1 have seen
marvels of air craft construction.!
But as yet 1 have failed to lit *1 om
that could last for a single minute is
an Alaskan storm.
“Supposing the mail carrier should ;
have engine trouble, where would he
land ? There is no safe or wrote :ted
lending in some portions ot the Nor* a
and engine trouble, in my opiraot
would mean certain death.”
Marr tells in his letter of having
met Capt. Kene Haas, who took a
number of Alaska dogs to Kurope for
operations in the muntains. Has ’
teams were collected by A. A. So'Va
Allen and included a number b-vd
specially from members of the famous
Allen-Darling racing team ti at cap
tured places in the Alaska sv.eep
stakes. Marr’s letter tells of effective
work being done by the dogs in the
Wuow-covered regions, t ! um .O
PEARY WOULD
SEIZE VAST
POLAR LAND
WASHINGTON, Jan. —'The at
tcntion of government officials has
been called to a recent suggestion by
K *ar Admiral Peary, discoverer ot
tht North Pole, that the United
States should semi an expedition into
the Antarctic for tin* purpose of ac
quiring large areas of uncharted
lands south of Cape Horn. It is un
derstood several departments of the
government ure giving the suggestion
it?eir earnest consideration.
“Send the Roosevelt II. to the Ant
arctic,*’ Peary said, “and those thou
sands of miles of frozen waste may
bring forth untold wealth.”
The famous explorer said he would
not attempt the expedition him self,
but he recommended that Captain
Rartlett. his lieutenant on the history
making dash into the Arctic, be plac
ed in command of the government's
]H>lar exploration ship for charting
and seizing in the name of the Unit-'
0*1 States the vast stretches of no
man’s land under the south polar ice
cap.
