After leaving the station at 1 p. we rose to an altitude of 1000 feet and In time passed over all the good familiar scenes first Brooklyn then New York.

Those wonderful sights are still fresh In, my memory but what a comparison with the present surroundings at Moose Factory. Little did I think at the time that the trip which I had taken so often would bring me to this frozen country. We had figured on having A. L. Evans (Lieutenant Evans of the Far Rockaway station) with us on the trip and at the last minute he decided not to come as he had put In for leave and wanted to go home to his family.

He said that he was not at the shack at the timn of the assault upon tho two young women and that he had returned to get his overcoat when arrested.

The only food we had with us was the three carrier pigeons which we had taken on the trip to send back to the station with messages. Tuesday night I killed one of them and this constituted our meal. We had to eat snow to quench our thirst. The fire we built was large, but It was so cold when you turned your face to the fire your back would freeze. In drying your feet you almostshad to burn your shoes.

Wednesday morning we started oot to hike through the woods again. We could only walk about two hours at a stretch and then stopped to build a fire and regain our strength. The woods were so thick that we could not make more than one and a half miles a day. About 9 a. m.

Friday we reached an Ice-covered stream. On this stream we found to our great Joy the track of a sled and the footprints of a man. We followed these tracks for miles. Then about 1 p. m.

Presi dent-elect Harding's conferences with Senate and House leaders in charge of military and naval affairs just ended touched upon subjects which will deeply concern In the future the plain taxpayer as well as the highbrow economist Indeed, the time may be regarded as past when the every-day citizen intent upon his own small, but to him Important, affairs can dismiss such subjects by leaving their consideration to these higher up as was wont to bo much the custom, in days gone by. As the taxpayers come to realize more poignantly that he Is to pay the bills by direct and unescapable taxation for all expenditures grow Ing out of national policies adopted by "his betters, he is likely to scan more critically the policies adopted or contemplated. COXC.ttKSS TO IIECIDE XAVY PROGRAM FATK Are you interested? Well, then. here roe a. Congress must at this session and In the extraordinary session to follow early in March decide whether to continue, curtail or suspend the program of naval building heretofore decided upon, the fruition of which If pursued uninterrupted would place the United States on an equality with, if not slightly ahead, of Great Britain, which, since the destruction of the Spanish Armada and the Dutch fleet, has been the boasted mtstss of the sea.

This purpose must be fixed pending the suggested international agreement for a truce In naval building or for partial disarmament. Its -determination cannot await the perfecting of an associa tion of nations to prevent war. The work is under way, Its halting would Involve certain losses, and require Its later resumption in the event that the altruistic plans for peace and disarmament should fail. Inquiry In Informed and authoritative quarters in Congress elicits the Information that sentiment In the of Representatives, where appropriations must originate. Is not favorable to suspending the program of naval building.

Its time limit may be extended a year or two by building one capital ship leas than heretofore authorized for the next year, but the authority for its ultimate construction Is not to be revoked. 'ON GKIONS MKN RJVOW OF PfUIJi-; IX NAVV These boilod legislators, "wise old owls," while sympathizing with the hope that throbs in every man's bosom of the arrival of-the day when the common sensie of governments will respond to the com-; r.ion sense of mankind for an agreement to limit armament, nevertheless ure set in Iho opinion that the United States can ho In better, position to take the lead In such a movement if it has a navy njs good as the best.

President-elect Harding, it la known, to sonvs pven in Congress, is deeply Intertf ohon keeping the American merchant marine a live-going concern since its marvelous Allaclin-IIke re-establishment through me exigencies of world war. The plan which has been suggested to and which he now has under consideration for recommendation as administration policy, is to train the young men of the merchant marine for two or three months on warships, thereby making better more-hunt sailormen of them as well as preparing them for possible dutv In the navy. PROPOSAL TO CIIWGi: (ONSTRICTIOY MICTIIOl) It is estimated that from HO. 000 to 60,000 men could be trained in this way, furnishing auxiliary force to be drawn upon In time of emergency, as well as doing the work of th navy.

But this is not the schemo; this chapter is merely to tell what Is to be proposed In Congress. Whether it ramM to pass or not Is another -We ars pndinff 1273,000,000 for a navy on tho land," Is the slogan adopted by the proponents of the change in syjrtcm.

They go on to point out that a considerable portion of the officer personnel of the navy It now employed In and around navy yards, armor-making plants and the like, and that the force of workmen kept on tho payrolls in order to Justify the alignment of offl-cerj Is unnecessarily large. PLANTS DIOCMOFP POLITICAL ASSKTS They allege that all these great government plants have become political assets and subject to the manipulations of poiltlclans. Wages, hours of labor, employment ana retention of men, it Is asserted, all are becoming entangled with politics to dfiTrii that would not be counte nanced by private enterprise" 'working on a clone margin of profit That there will be a great stons when this question comes up In Congress is certain.

Figures do not make interesting reading on a Sunday ordinarily, but there are some facts presented by the oppo nents of suspension of tho naval pro gram which might De tanen into sideratlon before pronouncing judg ment for or against tho policy. other nations are continu ing their building programs it would be suicide for us to permit our navy to become second" rate," contended Senator i'roilnghtrysen of Jersey In the Senate. It would bo the height of folly not to protect the progress wo have thus far made out of commerce, our wealth and our institutions with a navy adequate to meet in time of emergency any great enemy.

Quoting the figures presented in the House, It is asserted that whilo we havo 33 cruisers and battleships built and building, and Great Britain 3.r, we will have a tonnage of against Great Britain's 884,000. In main batteries we will havo 340 guns to 314 for tho British, and out guns will have an average caliber of 14S, Inches to their 1-3 1'n a broad side, our ships will hurl 618.400 pounds as against 4 52,000 pounds.

Ol KSTION IS ITT I TO TAXPAYERS The question thou is for the taxpayers to decide whether tho ends Justify- the outlay, and, second, whether the ends can be reached without the outlay, through agreement.

The answer will bo made by the "wis guys" In Congress, but those sartfe are lending an attentivo ear to their constituents, so that In the end It will be tlio wisdom and judgment of the mass of the peopls wnieii win register. President-elect Hardinir Is expect ed to deal with this broad subject nnd its ramifications in messages to Congress early In tho extr.i session 'of Congress.
