PROFESSOR HOBBS
PLANS GREENL AND
TRIP IN SUMMER
INTENDS TO LEAD UNIVERSITY
EXPEDITION IF FIUNDS CAN
BE RAISED
BACK FROM EUROPE
Confers with Danih Government
About Proposed Exploration of
Northern Land
Provided that sufficient funds can
be raised, Prof. W. H.H obbs, head of
the geology department, expects to
lead what may be a University expe-
dition to Greenland next summer.
Professor Hobbs, who returned this
week from Europe where he has been
advising the Danish government rela-
tive to the proposed exploration of
Greenland, stated yesterday that he
is considering conducting an Ameri-
can expedition to that same land.
The primary object of Professor
Hobbs' European trip this summer
was to plan the scientific phase of
the expedition which will be lead by
Dr. Lauge Koch, famous Danish ex-
plorer, who lectured here last spring.
The expedition will start next sum-
mer, according to the plans recently
completed, with the east coast of
Greenland as the basis of the explora-
tion. A shipload of eskims is now
establishing a settlement on the
northern island, at Scorsby Sound,
under the direction of the Danish
stations and doing other work pre-
paratory to the expedition which will
start in July,
Other Nations Aid
Professor Hobbs believes that a
great desirability for an American ex-
pedition, to operate from the west
coast of Greenland in conjunction
with' the Danish exploration next
summer, is apparent. For this reason
he is planning the project with a view
to taking several members of the
University geology department with
him. The cooperation of several
European governments in connection
with the meteorological work of the
proposed expedition was assurred
Professor Hobbs this summer.
"The trip will all depend on
whether or not funds can be raised to
defray expenses," said Professor
Hobbs. "I expect to ask several
members of the geology department
to accompany me if my plans ma-
terialize, and it is possible that the
project may take the aspect of a
University expedition."
During the ten (lays that Professor
Hobbs spent in conference with Dr.
Koch at Copenhagen this summer,
he delivered a public address under
the auspices of the Danish Geological
society which was attended by a num-
ber of prominent Greenland explorers
and which was widely published in
newspapers throughout Denmark.
His subject was "The Place of Green-
land in the Earth's Atmospheric Cir-
culation."
Academy Hears Paper
Professor Hobbs Was in Germany
for ten days and in England for the
same length of time, earlier in the
summer, and spent six weeks in Paris
engaged in writing, research work,
and visiting various government
aerological plants. August 17 he pre-
sented a paper before the Academy of
Science at Paris, and on August 28
gave two papers before the British
Association for Advancement of Sci-
ence at its annual meeting in South-
ampton. One of these has already
appeared in the British scientific
journal, Nature.
After spending two days each in
Norway and Swede and visiting the
Gothenburg, Professor Hobbs sailed
from Oslo for America, arriving in
New York September 23.
DR. HATCH WILL TEACH
ZOOL991 CLASSES HERE
Dr. Melville H. hatch of James Mil-
likin university, Decatur, Ill., is teach-
ing 'lasses in invertebrate zoologyj
and entomology here this year, filling
the position of Dr. Paul S. Welch who
is absent on leave, studying institu-
tVons of zoology in Europe.
Dr. Carl D. La Rue of the zoology
department has returned from a year's
leave at Johns Hopkins university.
While there he made a special study,

France Starts
New Offensive
Drive To Adr
(By Associated Press)
Fez, French Morocco, Sept. 25.-A
French offensive on a large scale was
launched today on the eastern sector
of the Moroccan front, with the ad-
vance of strong elements of such
troops from Misane toward Ajdir,
which lies 40 miles due north. The
French troops reached all their ob-
jectives, occupying Djedel Kounsoun
and Djedel Kouchum, northeast of
Kisane.
The success of the Spanish troops
which landed at Alhucemas Day and
the ultimate outcome of the operations
they have carried on during the last
ten days appears to be dependent on
a prompt advance of the French to-
ward the north.

SecurIty Pact
(By Associated Press)
Geneva, Sept. 25.-With negotia-
tions about to be inaugurated between
the Allies and Germany for a security
pact, the Assembly of tl3e League of
Nations today gave special attention
to a friendly French gesture toward
Germany conveyed in the words of
M. De Jouvenal, former minister of
education, that it was t1,e hope of allI
that the German nation soon would
be cooperating in the councils of the
League.
This is but one of the many phases
of harmony and conciliation falling
from the lips of statesmen during al
great discussion of disarmament and
arbitration. Speaker after speaker
arose to laud the program of world
regeneration through arbitration and
security pacts and the reduction of
armaments, which te assemplyj
adopted in the form of concrete reso-
lutions.
The program provides first of all,
for preparation by the council of an
international disarmament confer-
ence, the hope for which every body
admits depends almost entirely upon
the forth-coming security parley with
Germany.

fore the President's air board, but
the aviator himseih had nothing to
say concerning the controversy he
has aroused over the nation's air de-
fense.
A drum and bugle corps supplied
by two American Legion posts, and a
few hundred citizens greeted the for-
mer assistant army air chief as he
arrived with Mrs. Mitchell.
Seized by friends and admirers

Colonel was hoisted to their shoul-

Among the noise he managed to make
himself heard by questioners; how-
ever he indicated only that he had
"ceased firing" for a time, at least
at the administration of the army
and navy air services.
Still held aloft, Mitchell was car-
ried to a waiting automobile while a
parade formed behind him to the
crashing of bugles and drums. The
Colonel, wearing a broad brim Texas
hat adorned with a snake band, was
jovial as he greeted and shook hands
