POLAR SUBMARINE
LADY WILKINS "RULED OUT" ARCTIC EXPLORER'S PLAN PHILADELPHIA, March 12. Lady Wilkins will not accompany her explorer husband on the submarine Polar trip. Addressing the annual dinner of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia on Wednesday night, where he received the Elisha Kent Kane Medal, the highest honour in the gift of the society, awarded for outstanding geographical research, Sir Hubert Wilkins said that his wife would accompany him to Norway, "but this is as far as she will go," he added. "It is the duty of the leader of anv expedition to look after the welfare of every member. He is not expected to look after the welfare of any particular one. That rules wives out. We are not definitely sure we shall get through, though we believe Ave will. However, if we don't someone else will."
