Allentown, April 17--For several years a misconception has prevailed that all members were dead of the Allen Infantry, which was the Allentown company of the five Pennsylvania military units which were the first to respond to President Lincoln's call for volunteers after Fort Sumter had been fired upon, and became known as the First Defenders. But one man, a Brooklynite, still The units comprised the Allen Infantry of Allentown, the Ringgold Light of Reading, the Logan Guards Lewistown, and Artillery, GEORGE KEIPER the Washington Artillerists and the Pottsville Light Infantry of Pottsville. All told there were 530 men. They left their homes on April 17, 1861, assembled that night in Harrisburg and arrived in Washington the evening of April 18, exactly 65 years ago. Their day of reunion is April 18, the day they arrived in Washington, and not the 17th, the day of leaving home.

For many years various troops disputed the honor of being the First Defenders, but eventually Congress probed the matter to the bottom and had medals struck off for those Pennsylvania troops as the real heroes. Seven at Last Reunion. Of the 530 original First Defenders less than a score are now living, and at last year's reunion at Pottsville there were present only seven. It was then reported that all bers of the Allentown company reman died. This did not harmonize with the recollection of some relatives.

and inquiry revealed that one of -although he is probably the last--is still living. This lone survivor of the Allen Infantry of First Defenders George S. Keiper, now 82 years old, residing at 255 Arlington Brooklyn. Although feeble he is in fair health. His standing as a member of the Allen Infantry and also that as a First Defender is of the highest.

He Is not only on the original roll of those who left Allentown, but his name is on the bronze list attached to the magnificent memorial erected in the Allentown City Park by Gen. Harry C. Trexler as a tribute to those heroes. In all probability Comrade Keiper was the youngest of all the 530, and the air of romance that attaches to his action can never be obliterated. His age on the original record is 16.

He was at the student at the old Allentown Academy, and he was a grandson of Keiper, who was a soldier of the War of 1812. Quit School at Lincoln's Call. The period was one full of excitement. Sumter had been fired upon, Lincoln had called for volunteers and Major Yeager was getting his company ready to go to Washington. In his class in the Academy young Keiper arose and boldly announced his intention of going to war.

The class gave him three cheers. The teacher asked if he had the permission of his father. As to that the youth stated that his father was out of the city, engaged in business in Pottsville, but his grandfather, the veteran of 1812 and the head of the family, had agreed. With that he marched out of the school and anrolled as a First Defender and is the only one of his company alive today. His term of enlistment as 8 First Defender having expired, Comrade Keiper, then about the mature age of 17, volunteered in the 54th Pennsylvania and fought at Antietam and Chancellorsville.

After the war he engaged in the jewelry a business in Ashland, moving to Brooklyn 28 years ago and retiring in 1910. Comrade Kelper is unaware that any other member of the Allen Infantry is living and believes he is the last surviving First Defender from Allentown.

He is now organizing an expedition, he writes from his home in Norway, outlining his plans for an exploration party, which will depend upon dogs and sledges in invading the Arctic. Storkerson proposes to penetrate the dangerous "Pole of Inaccessibility," which Stefansson describes as "The point within the Arctic region most difficult of access for any explorer, who goes as far as he can by ship and then pushes forward by the use of men and dogs hauling sledges." Drifted 238 Days. It will be recalled that Storkerson was adrift on a huge cake of ice in the Arctic regions for 238 days, and at the mercy of the winds and tides of the northland.

He proposes to establish winter quarters for his Arctic expedition in the New Siberian Islands in October. It is his plan to organize three supporting parties, and to set out on the sea ice from the New Siberian Islands in quest of adventure and scientific research. It is likely that he will discover new lands for the Arctic maps. To Leave in August, The plan is to leave civilization in August, 1926, according to Storkerson, and to establish winter quarters in the New Siberian Islands in October. The chief exploration work of the party will begin in March, 1927, aided by possibly three supporting parties, for a distance of 150 miles in a northeasterly direction out on the sea ice from the New Siberian Islands.

The advance party of five men, with two sleds, hauled by 12 or more dogs, will proceed with full rations and necessary Do equipment over the ice, and will cover the remaining 750 or 800 miles to be traversed across the great Arctic Ocean, through the Pole of Inaccessability to the nearest island in the Parry Archipelago.

While sledding over the sea, ice in the far northern regions traveling through the Parry Islands, the explorers will help add to their rations by hunting seal, polar bear, caribou, musk oxen and game they find and eat.

Like his fellow explorer, Stefansson, Storkerson believes that food can be obtained the sea ice in remote Arctic regions--that is if one can hunt. Looking for Men. Storkerson says he believes there are many men in the United States, Canada, England and who would like to make a venture into Arctic exploration. He says further that in order to help raise the necessary funds to finance his expedition, he will be willing to take on a limited number of men, who would like to join him, if they will take out a membership in his expedition at $5,000 each. This will.

give them an opportunity to test their endurance in the Arctic and to engage in exploration tor a year or possibly 18 months. "The more unfamiliar his fellow explorers are with Arctic conditions, the better I like he says. "I like to train them, and by the time we start out over the ice they should be able to master the difficulties we might encounter as well as Went With Stefansson. Storkerson was first associated with Stefansson when both explorerg members of the LeffingwellMikkelsen Polar Expedition, 1906- 1907, when Storkerson was first officer. Storkerson was for a time a member of the Stefansson-Anderson Expedition of 1908-12.

He Mad already lived in the Arctic seven years before he joined the Canadian Arctic Expedition. He was ranking member of the expedition after the departure of Wilkins in 1916, and had charge of the ice drift in 1918. Called a Poet. of him, Stefansson says: "There was enough of the poet about Storkerson so that he could see as well the romantic side of the search for undiscovered lands, and of forays into the unknown." It is safe to predict that this adventurous explorer will penetrate the vast regions within the area of the Pole of Inaccessibility. That he will discover new lands there is certain, if he succeeds.

In a way he goes back to the methods of Peary, and he believes that travel by dogs and sledges is the most trustworthy within, the Arctic Circle.
