POLAR FLIGHT

HALIFAX (Nova Scotia), July 30. Lincoln Ellsworth, the American explorer, who accompanied Captain Amundsen on his llight to the North Pole, is here on route to New York from Oslo. He said that he was convinced that Amundsen would continue Arctic exploration. An airship was needed to make a Polar flight. A machine capable of sustained flight was required. The present planes were not practical for the attempt. Mr Ellsworth said he hoped to go north again. Ho would rather go there than to New York.
