SIR HUBERT WILKINS.
ARCTIC SUBMARINE TRIP.
NEW YORK PRESS COMMENT.
(Received June 22, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, Juno 21
The New York Herald Tribune comments upon Sir Hubert Wilkins' proposed Polar expedition. It says his project will restore to Arctic exploration all the glamour of hair-raising adventure of which it has been so largely robbed by tho punctual exploits of aeroplanes and dirigibles.
Tho thought of crossing an absolutely uncharted sea locked up in a submarine beneath the ice is enough to make an ordinary citizen turn pale to think of, remarks tho paper, yet Sir Hubert i 3 (juite seriously developing his plans to do so. Curiously enough he seems to bo convinced that it is all quite safe and the most natural and practicable thing in tho world. To the serious minded the matter of fact undertaking of such an expedition can only heighten ono's admiration of Sir Hubert's qualities, the writer concludes.
