TO TIE POLE
LIEUT.. sHACKLETON INTENDS TO
MAKE ANOTHER TRIP.
Hardy Explorer Is Now the Lion Of
European Capitals-PIcdicts Rec
ord for Lieut.. Peary.

Lieut.. Ernest Shackleton, the in
trepid Antarctic explorer, who plant
ed the British flag within few miles
of the South pole, is now the popu-
lar lion in the capitals of Europe.
At present he is in London, where he
is being dined and wined every day
in the week. Lieut.. Shackleton, at
dinner given in his honor this
past week, made the chief subject of
his discourse the trip to the North
pole of Lieut.. Robert K. Peary. The
English explorer is of the opinion
that Lieut.. Peary will make a great,
new record in Arctic exploration. He
said Lieut.. Peary will doubtless ad-
vance the Stars and Stripes much
farther North than on any previous
trip.
Lieut.. Shackleton, who has the
Antartic record for nearness to the
South pole, went to within ITS Kill
ometers Of the goal, which Is within
about 70 miles. He hopes to make
another trip to the Anarctic ocean
within a few years, and, with the in
novation in methods of travelling over
the ice he will then introduce. he
hopes to reach the pole. The olieuten-
ant and his hardy assistants had
many narrow escapes from death on
their hazardous journey.
