WORLDS 1908 COMMERCE
RECORD is WAY LOW

Washington, March 2e.-International
commerce made a lower record in 1895
than in 1907 in practically all the CONNER
cial countries OF the world.
The figures of the imports and exports
of the principal countries of the world in
1908, compared with 1907, show, as above
Indicated, in nearly every case a falling
off in both imports and exports. In the
of the United Kingdom. for
example, imports show a fall of .y2256. o0O, 600
and exports a fall of s23s, 900. 600, in the fun
calendar yea 1908 compared with the fun
calendar year 1907. In the case of Ger
many, the imports show a fall of 500, Geo.
700 and the exports a fall of s23, 600. 0C9;
these figures being for the fun calendar
year 1905 compared with the calendar wear
1907. In the case of France, the imports
show a fall of SIS, 500, GOD and the exports a
fall of $62, 10000 In the case of Belgium.
the imports show n fall of So. 900. 600 and
the exports a fall of SG3. ON.OO Canada's
imports show a fall of sS3,NO,0nO and her
exports an increase of 50, 800, 600, while mos.
of the other countries in the list show sim
liar falling off, the chief exception being
Argentina. which shows but a slight de-
crease In imports and a material Increase
in exports. The average monthly impor-
tations Of the 20 countries shown by the
table was 1891, 600 1900 in that portion OF
1906 which they respectively represent

TERRIBLE HARDSH|PS
Met BY EXPLORERS
shackleton's Men Nearly Died
of Starvation in the Ant
arctic.

Christ Church, N. a., March 90
Lieutenant Shackleton's ship Nimrod
had returned here with the exploring
party aboard, all of whom are we'll.
The members of the expedition give
some additional details to those al
ready published.
Professor David and his compan-
ions recount that when they started

the weather was so hot that they a

There was half a ton OF provisions
on each sledge. After a comparatively
easy $50 miles journey along the sea
ice they had a hard and almost hope
less climb to the inland plateau. They
carried their lives in their hands, fight
ing their way inch by inch and suf-
fered great privations on the return
journey. When rescued by the Nimrod
they We're a party Of gaunt skeletons;
the Nirnrod had almost given them
up for lost.
The members OF Lieutenant Shackle-
tons party state that when they were
compelled to turn back, their bodily
strength was diminishing SO rapidly
far below, in some cases reaching to
SO degrees and in others considerably
lower than that. They nearly died
from starvation before finding n OF
the depots and always were on Very
short rations. Had this party been
two days later in reaching the MINI
rod she would have been frozen in for
another season. They declare that any
future explorer attempting to reach the
pole must be provided with much
larger supplies of food, because there
is no doubt that the south pole is Sit
uated on a high plateau and the coolest
and stormiest weather in the world
prevails there. there being 20 degrees
of frost under the very mildest con
ditions.
Lieutenant shackleton declined to
say anything regarding the protest
made by the commonwealth of Aus
tralin, because it had received no news
OF the Nimrod's arrival at Stewar,
island, although the commonwealth
had voted $4,000 toward the expenses
of the expedition.
