. EXPEDITION BY f
AIRPLANE TO
SOOTH POLE
LONDON, Nov. 21 (by Associated
Press3.—John L. Cope, leader and or
ganizer of the British Imperial Ant
arctic expedition, states that the prep
arations for his flight to the South
Pole are well advanced. Experts are
now engaged in designing the plane
in which the flight will be made.
“We have received a terrible blow
in the death of Brigadier General Lee,
^ who had signed on with the expedi
tion as chief of the aeronautical staff, .
" and would have piloted the plane to
the South Pole,” said Mr. Cope. “I
am now in negotiation with one of the
most famous airmen in the world,
who, I think, will take the place of
General Lee. I can not disclose his
name, but he has won the Victoria
Cross as well as the Distinguished
Service Order for his magnificent ex
ploits as an airman on the western
front.”
Mr. Cope stated that he was not
merely going to fly to the pole, but
that he intended to use the airplane
throughout the six or seven years
that the expedition would be on the.
ice. The Antarctic had never been
charted properly, he said, owing to
♦ the fact that many parts were quite
inaccessible on foot. It was his in
tention to chart the whole Antarctic
from the air.
Second in command to Mr. Cope
will be Ernest Joyce, who accompa
nied the first Scott expedition to the
South Pole and was a member of
both Shackleton expeditions.
> LARGEST BATTLESHIP
FOR BRITISH NAVY
GLASGOW. Nov. 21 (by Associated
Press).- A new “largest battleship in
the world” will soon slip down the
ways to establish new records in the
annals of naval construction.
The ship, a battle cruiser, is the
Hood. She will be launched this
month, it is announced. Her build
ers say she is not only the largest in
the British navy, but the largest war-1
' ship ever constructed. Not even the '
four super-dreadnaughts being built .
for the United States navy, ships of •
42,000 tons, approach the enormous
bulk of the Hood, her normal dis
"* placement being 44,000 tons and, at
full load, about 48,000 tons.
Fitted with oil-fired boilers and
geared turbines, which develop 144,000
shaft horse-power, the Hood is ex
pected to show a speed of thirty-one
knots in her trials. Her armament
and anti-torpedo protection is so elab
orate that she is said to be the near
est approach to the “non-sinkable”
ideal which constructors have been
endeavoring for years to attain.
Details of the Hood’s gun power,
it is claimed, will cause a sensation
when made public.
