BRITONS LEAVE FOR COOLIDGE NAVAL PARLEY London Delegation Prepares to Continue Its Fight Against Submarine. Du United Press LONDON, June 17.—Principals of Great Britain’s delegation to President Coolidge’s naval limitations conference at Geneva, departed today, headed by W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the admiralty. Bridgeman was accompanied by Vice Admiral F. L. Field, and each had a retinue of secretaries. As head of what would be the navy department in the United States, Bridgeman can speak for the British cabinet and the British navy with authority. Well-founded information indicated today that the British delegation would be prepared at Geneva lo make almost any concession regarding reduction of battleship and submarine strength to aid the discussions towards useful results. But, Britain was believed to be ready to resist strenuously any effort to disturb the 5-5-3 ratio or to bring about a reallotment of naval strength except on a basis of tonnage by classification. Differs With France That scheme of rating naval power differs from the one desired by France, whereby each country would be allotted a fixed tonnage with permission to, employ it at will, using all for submarines or for any other type of craft. Britain also was/ expected to be ready Monday to submit to further reduction in the size and armaments of cruisers, but she would resist any reduction in the numerical strength of her cruiser fleet beyond the admiralty’s estimate of the number of cruisers essential to keep open British Empire trade routes and to combat the submarine threat of neighboring continental nations. U. S. Cooperation Seen I was presumed that the Unlteo States delegation, led by Hugh S. Gibson, ambassador to Belgium, j would understand British insistence that there be no reduction in her numerical cruiser strength, so long j as there was a concerted effort by j France and Italy, partly supported! by Japan, to scrap limitation of na- | val strength by classification and to | substitute the total tonnage basis of | limitation. That would make possible large I scale submarine construction, and ! Britain fears submarines, which are , judged to be the greatest menace to j her trade routes.

Radio Amateur to Broadcast Storm Signs From Dreary Greenland Site

Will Help Save Lives of Men Crossing Ocean by Ship, Air. BY ISRAEL KLEIN Radio Editor, NEA Service Destined for a two-years’ stay at the coldest, dreaiest and most treacherous spot on the northern hemisphere, a young radio amateur is on his way to help save the lives of those crossing the Atlantic by sea and air. This is the great undertaken by Paul C. Oscanyan, Jr., | of New York, well known in amateur j radio circles. He is bound for Greenland, at a point where the winds come from the south, congregate in a whirling cold complexity of storms and return southward to do their worst, j North Pole of Winds It is because of this feature thato the spot for which Oscanyan is j bound is called by scientists the j “North Pole of Winds.” Romantic and adventurous as this title is, it | is none the less an actual scientific designation. It is to warn shipping and aviation in the northeast Atlantic and j over Europe that Oscanyan is going | to set up his radio station and | broadcast the storm warnings twoj days in advance of their arrival. j Such a warning, coming so far in advance, might have saved the j lives of Nungesser and Coli, the dar- j ing French aviators who attempted | the flight from Paris to New York with disastrous results. Set Up Permanent Station This is the contention of Prof. William Herbert Hobbs, noted geologist of the University of Michigan, who visited the Greenland ice cap last year and is returning with Oscanyan and others to set up a more permanent radio signal station at the very center of the wind pole. Hobbs will stay on flashing notices that will tell aviators and seamen what weather to expect from the north for two days following each report. * This is far greater advance warning than we have ever before received. And it will be accurate, says Hobbs. How Winds Travel “The ice cap of Greenland,” explains Prof. Hobbs, “is the northern wind pole of our atmospheric circulation. “Along the equator is a great furnace where the heated air rises and flows off at high level northward and southward to be drawn down again over the two refrigerators of Greenland and the Antarctic and returned along the surface to the equator. “It is because of the spasmodic operation of both refrigerators that the Greenland ice cap is the breeding place of northern storms-. “The ice cap of Greenland has j the shape of the back of a watch j and is nearly two miles high. The cold air slides outward with hurricane velocity.” Station on Ice Dr. Hobbs has therefore put up radio and weather stations directly on this treacherous ice cap and at the edges of it, so that the returning cold winds could be detected, their direction and velocity ''noted and the warnings sent out by radio at least 48 hours before they are due. A few modern conveniences will be provided to relieve Oscanyan of the long dreary nights he will spend in this cold and stormy area. He will have his radio equipment with which he will listen in on American programs. His hut will be equipped with electric lights from his own small power plant and with other electrical conveniences. Oscanyan is only 27 years old, but he has had considerable radio experience. He was in the Greenland expedition last year. The bamboo holds the record for speedy growth among trees, new shoots rising at the rate of nine inches in each twenty-four hours during the rainy season.
