Prof Belknap Tells Of Life Ii. 6reeiuhan d A description of Greenland, its people and climate, and a more tech- nical account of glaciation were the themes of a talk by Prof. Ralph Bel- knap of the geology department be- fore a meeting of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity Wednes- day night in the Union. , An inhabitant on top of the vast Greenland continental glacier four times, Professor Belknap gave a per- sonal account of living conditions and travel on the ice. He com- mented that the best method of trav- el is sledging across the ice in win- ter, when the moon is the only source of light. He has made distances as great as 100 miles per day by dog sledge. Professor Belknap related details of reconnaissance inspections by British and American officials in an attempt to obtain information for establishing a naval base on the southern shore of Greenland, in proximity to North Atlantic shipping lanes. tl War Moves To Italy * . . .

While the British fleet he war- achieved its mission of shepherding a Greece-bound convoy through the le Brit- Sicilian channel gateway', it did so at he Ger- heavy cost. Those narrow waters are already more or less a maritimes no-man's- ry indi- land on the basis of what is now a full- publicly known of the results of the Italian battle. apt to Britain cannot afford to ignore at Eng- that German challenge by shifting; e as the convoy activities to the long route ombing. via the Suez Canal to the Eastern heavy Mediterranean. For prestige reasons n as a alone, an all-out British air-and-sea effort to blast southern Italy seems called for. British failure to retain her boast- ed domination of the whole Mediter- ons ranean woud be a severe blow. It well might. defer indefinitely any hope London now has of re-enlisting French colonial Africa in the war. It also would bolster Italian morale, at which British strategy has point- ed a heavy propaganda barrage in the belief that it is tottering. There are other reasons urging Britain to launch an air attack on scuthern Italy. Public morale is sup- posed to be lower there than in northern or central Italy. South Ital- ian troops have been little in evi- dence in the Greek-Albanian cam- paign. In Africa they were among the units which surrendered whole- sale to the British Nile Army at Sidi Barani and Bardia. The Nazi-Fascist point air opera- tions from Sicily may be vulnerable for still another season. Fueling planes there for mass usebagainst the British Mediterranean bases or fleet represents a serious oil trans- portation problem. Whatever fuel Germany supplies to supplement meager Italian stocks must travel the !whole length of Italy. Will End Tomorrow The famous French film "The Baker's Wife" will continue its run 8:30 p.m. today at the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre, under the auspices of the Art Cinema League. Brought to Ann Arbor by popular request, the film opened last night, and will be shown today and tomor- row. Tickets may be secured for 35c at the Mendelssohn box office. The picture tells the story of the village baker whose marital troubles provide an upheaval in his commu- nity. English sub-titles have been provided by JohnhErskine, noted American author. The filmtwon the award recently as "the best foreign film of the year." { Prof. Schuman Receives Praise ForAccuracyOf Predicti Prof. Frederick L. Schuman of Wil- liams College, who will speak here Sunday on the question "Can Amer- ica Escape War?" has received al- most nation-wide acclaim during the past two years for his accuracy in. predicting current world events. Back in 1937, when the rest of the world was certain that there would be peace in Europe during this de- cade, Professor Schuman asserted in his book, "International Politics,"u that ."war between the Great Powers will almost certainly break out be- fore the time arrives for a third edi- tion of this work." The third edition was issued late in 1939. During that same year he asserted that "Austria would fall peaceably under Nazi control" while most po- litical scientists were saying that Hit- ler would not dare such a move and that, if he did, a war would result.

I and that a march on France would- be made through Holland and Bel- gium by 1940. Today Professor Schuman has made more forecasts of coming events. He believes that, without the aid of the United States, the Axis powers will win World War II. exceptional were his pictures and so popular his lectures, that Chapman decided to give up investment bank- ing and devote all his time to his pictures, his lectures and writing. In his current film, Chapman shows his audience how nature takes care of theproblems of soil erosion and flood control. In his intimate movies of America's wild life, he shows how the original dwellers of the wilderness lived but also pre- served the richness of their dwelling places. The beaver with his skillfully zonstructed dams created a nation- wide flood control that endured un- til the white-man came. These dams hold back the eroded soil, created fertile meadows and prevented a rain- gutted country. The humble ground squirrel does his part in the pictures and in the national economy. His burrows, hon- eycombing the great plains, the far west, the east, allowed quantities of water to penetrate the subsoil in- stead of flushing the surface and hurrying off to the oceans.

Instead of practicing law, however, he went with the investment banking firm of Blyth and Co. The grind which makes men old before their time was beginning to tire Chapman, so he took a two years' leave of absence and headed for the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and British Montana with Mrs. Chapman and a goodly supply of cameras and other equipment.
