NO ANNEXATION "AIMS.

Preparations are rapidly being ad- vanced for Captain Runald Amundsen's Projected fight from Spitzbergen to Alaska, writes a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. Capt. Hank Hammer, the Danish explorer, who is n partner with Amundsen in the expedi- tion, arrived at Plymouth from New York Accun- to complete the arrangements. panying him was Lieut. T. Ralph Davi son, of the United States Navy, who has been officially assigned by the Navy De- partment of the United States to take hart in the light has gone to Pisa, where the dying machines for the expedition are being construsted.

machines," Capt. "There are Hammer said, and they cost forty thousand dollars ench. They are large planes of the Dommer While type, and will have a radius of netion of 1,300 miles, They are guaranteed to have a speed of 150 kilometres (nearly 100 miles) att hour, hat I expect that will be enslerably exceeded. The trials of the machines have it yet taken place, and Lieut. Davison is hastening to Italy to test them."

Capt. Hammer has devoted nearly all his life to Aretic exploration, and it was his father who charted Greenland last year. Capt. Flammer was lying at co-operate Spitsbergen preparing with Amundsen, who had planned to fly "From Alaska to Spitsbergen. That x- pedition had to he abandoned owing to AŁ the flying machine being smashed. that time Capt. Bannier gained a great deal of experience of air currents in the Arepe. The intention at that time was that Capt. Hammer should Ry to meet Amundsen, who was lying from the west. and that his party should be available for relief purposes if any misadventure befel Anundsen after leaving Alaska..

* It is owing to the experience gained in Spitzbergen.' said Capt. Hammer, and the aid of the United States Navy that we are able to it out this new ex- bedition this year. This expedition is under the Norwegian flag, and all the credit for the discoveries made will, of rourse, go to Norway." The explorer taid emphasis on the fact that the ven-) so is in no way concerned with the Our aim," he anexation of territory. remarked is to accomplish something) in the interests of serntific research. Just think. There is a vast area of which we know nothing. It is a million square miles in extent, and all unknown regions, What proportion is land and what is sea it is impossible for anyone to say. It is a tract that has baffled generations, because it has been found impossible to explore it by ships or by dogs it is all yelled in mystery. In America it is be lieved to be land, but the only certainly is that ne man knows."

Capt. Ranimer is hopeful of success. I think the Amundsen expedition will! win through, the sand, but there is a stent deal of work yet to be done before welenn deserve success. In May we shall, start operations in the aorth at our base in Spitzbergen. The expedition will con- sist of 23 zen. Ail, of course, will not take part in the fight uross the Polar basin. There will be three in each umachine so far it has been arranged that the flying will be done by Amundsen, Lieut. Ondhi, repre- Lieut. Davison. senting the Norwegian Government, who has flown with Amundsen liefore, and myself. The two other places have yet? to be allotted.. I do not know yet whe={ ther I shall fly in the same machine, as my colleague," s those details, wemaini to be settled after the trials have been completed."

The distance from Spitzbergen to Aluska is about two thousand miles." continued the explorer, and as the planes have a radius of 1,300 mile it is evident that we do not, contemplate non-stop light. Fuel depots will have to be established, but some of this work was dene last year when I was at Spitzlergen, June and July will be devoted in trial flights, whilst the great attempt will be made at the end of July or in August According to the atmospheric condi- tions.""

Tae actual flying time necessary" for the light is estimated by Cipt. Hammer at from 24 to 25 hours. The planes will, be capable of landing on the ice or in the water. Usually at the season of thirt year planned for the flight there is a good deal of water on the ice which wont reader landing easy and safe.

Asked at what height it was proposed to fly, Capt. Hanmer said it wonki range from 2,000 to 8,000 feet. It would be as low as possible, as to, climb too high would be unnecessarily to expend a great deal of fuel. "Of course," he remark- ed, we shall steer a compass course, but the great difficulty will be the Enet that we shall have no bearings to guide us or assist us in our navigation. It has yet to be settled whether planes will set out in company or at intervals. They are equipped with wireless, but according to Capt. Hammer's experience it does not work very well in the Arcte regions, This trouble, he thinks, is probably due to the permanent daylight which pre- valls from May to the beginning of September...

Last year the temperature averaged forty degrees Fahr, and was the same at an altitude of 7,000 feet as on the surface, said the Danish explorer when naked if the flying men were likely to experience any hardships from the wea ther. An exploration steamer, the Batselund, has been bought as a parent ship to form a base. She has been specially strengthened with iron sheeting to protect her from ce pressure.

We are a nation and not a herd of war- ring sections, and, industrial prosperity, like society itself, is based on good order,

The Day of the Knight is Here !

IT IS THE

WILLYS KNIGHT

Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented,

It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any car

in the market.

1.-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder, motored car that makes the six

unnecessary.

The Knight motor is steam priuciple. The valves are two cylindricus sleeves with rectangular sists or portm which when they gister with on other and the ports in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gases without obstruction. Thews wide open pages, particularly on the exbujest side, pynnit a more thorough cleaning of the burut gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every once of energy available in utilized from the explosive mixture, which gives us such trvinendons power,

ት

2-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.

The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an ally piston notel for its great hea radiating qualities is used so weither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot enough to bake the residue from the exponel gases to formi carbon while thom is still enough heat maintained to handle the expilasive mixtum effectively.

-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.

While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the resite from the berat gases works up tehind the wald sealing ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in pro obtains, it keys ushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chamber developing mor power with every mild the motor is drawn.

4. It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out

All parts in the Willys Knight car ar anbied with wide cleusnes between each other and oil is forced into these clearasce uler heavy pressure so that the entire bly is being or wearing in on these heavy him of ail instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing, in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to betal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep itquiet with snleqnent quick

wear and noise.

It has fiminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylinderela poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as cans striking against push rods, push robe against valve stems, or calve heads snapping hack into their wats through the mesum af heaty, springs, etc.

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation" cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the head.

Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results. Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment. Il they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which. quickly destroys the cover.

Keep tyres free from oil and grease.
