SH4CKLETON.s SERVICE

Full aS was the report Of Lieutenant Shackle-

States the day after his arrival at New Zea-

mitted to the press Of London. Papers received
in this country from England within the last

phasize the scientific value Of the latest Ant
arctic expedition.
one fact which is now brought out more dis
tinctly than hitherto is that the south mag
netic pole. Ike the north magnetic pole is shift
ing its position. AmundScnS observations
showed that the latter was not where Ross 10
Gated it more than half century ago The
former has not only been moving In 81 similar
fashion. but surveys made by members Of Lieu
tenant Shackrton's party indicate that at pres
ent its motion Is not eastward as has been sup
posed but northwestward. The discovery is
of importance to The navigator and will un-
douhtedly be utilized by those experts who from
time I" time revise magnetic charts for ship
captains. Without such information the most
careful steering ny compass may possibly lead

RACIAL GOOD FEELING IN THE SOUTH
Public Hears More of Crimes than of Real
Progress. Says B. T. Washington

addressing the theological department of Wander
bilt University and the ministers of this city to-
day, said In part:
There is one respect in which both races in the
South generally suffer at the hands of public
opinion of the world. The for this is
that the outside world hears OF difficulties,
hears Of our crimes mobs and ynchngs but
IT hears very little cf the normal healthy progress
that the people Of both races are making every
dav 1t sees few cf the evidences of the racial
friendship and good will which | have found to
exist in every community OF the Southern States.
And Vet I do believe that any can hnd
section OF the globe where which
In many respects dissiniar and which dwell
together in large numbers have succeeded IN
getting on better in all the affairs Of life than
the black man and the white doing AT
the present time in the Southern States.
