WILKINS’ SUB PREPARED FOR TRIPTO POLE Nautilus Will Slip Along Under Ice in Arctic Trip of 60 Days. BY T. J. O'CONNELL ItltH Pres* Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.—Floating demurely beside Dewey's historic flagship Olympia in the back channel of the navy yard here is a little :ed submarine that may become one of the most historic crafts in the world within the next two years. The submarine is the 0-12, which soon will be converted into the Nautilus, after Jules Verne's brainchild. Captain Sir George Hubert Wilkins, internationally famous Australian Arctic explorer, is having the little submarine remodeled with the idea of making the dream of sea-faring men for centuries come true. , Fail Goal for Centuries He plans to cruise in the Nautilus from the eastern to the western hemisphere, under the polar ice cap. Hundreds of daring seamen of different nations have for centuries attempted to the northwest passage. All have failed. Most of them lost their lives, and literally hundreds of vessels have been crushed to matchwood by the Arctic ice-floes while attempting the passage. Sir George, who was the first to fly from one hemisphere to the other via the north pole, already has begun the preliminary work of remodeling the submarine. Start Next Summer As he is a British subject, he had to lease the 0-12 through the American firm of Danenhower and Lake for the nominal rental of $1 ft year. Cost of remodeling the vessel will approximate $150,000. He expects to start his expedition early next summer, probably in May. , The Nautilus will be fitted with a toboggan-like super-structure which will enable it to slide along beneath the under side of the ice cap under its own power. Pneumatic drills, which will be mounted in the head of a telescoping conning tower will be capable of penetrating thirteen feet of ice. Sir George explained. Trip to Last 60 Days Explosives also will be carried along for the purpose of breaking the ice at intervals he said during his recent visit here. "But we may not have to use the Ice-breaking device a great deal,” Be said. ‘Photographs taken by Admiral Richard E. Byrd and by the Amundsen expedition indicate that the Arctic ice cap is not a solid one. Cracks in the ice and patches of clear water are shown.” The explorer expected the trip to require about sixty days, including a long stop at the pole itself for icientlflc observations.

Aug. 15.—Spelling your name on your motor licease tag is not a stunt that can be done by every one, yet Harry Tate, comedian, does it.

called the personal peculiarities of some of the traveling celebrities that have been placed in his care. Roosevelt Hard to Handle President Roosevelt, he says, was a little hard to handle. “Quick tempered he was. Never got on a train 'till the last second before it pulled out. He liked to ride up with the engineer and stick his head out of the cab. “President Taft never gave any trouble. j “Charles G- Dawes is a mighty | fine man, too. He told me he always wanted to be an engineer and run a big train, Insull Wanted to Be “Brakie” “Samuel Insull wanted to be a brakeman. “If all actor folk were like Doug and Mary, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney -and Tex Rickard, there wouldn't be any trouble. Even Jeritza, who everybody says is the most temperamental woman in the world, hasn’t caused me any trouble. “But these two-by-four chorus girls, making their first or second trip, can give you more pain than a train full of dynamite.” The U. S. S. Salt Lake City is the largest and fastest addition, to the United States navy.
