ular in which he has a pipe in his
mouth that would cause stampede of
polar bears. If he looked like that at
his Eskimo dog team it is no wonder
that the Peary party made quick time
to the pole. The dogs would cover
thirty or forty miles a day merely to
get away.
The English-American race to the
south pole will be a sporting event
that will stir the worlds blood. The
two expeditions will start at opposite
sides of the pole at practically the
same time. Captain Scott will traverse
the route already covered by Lieuten-
ant Shackleton. The Peary party will
go in from Weddell sea over course
uncharted and unknown. The English
expedition will have motors, Siberian
ponies and dogs. The Americans will

the sporting blood OF the two natlonS
as not even the yacht races, the Der

other international contests have done.
It is not at all impossible that the
betting fraternity will get into the
game and big stakes be placed on the
event. Commander Peary suggests
that one exploring party might get to
the pole only twenty-four hours ahead
of the othar, which would be a closer
race than that to the cable lines when
DR.. Cook broke out Of the north only
a week ahead of himself. There will
be no Cook finish to this affair. how
ever. The example Of the Brooklyn
explorer will prevent others from
claiming to have discovered any pole

How Roosevelt Cut A Gordian
Knot.

In his now famous series, "Travel-
ing with Taft" running through
each issue of Human Life, Alfred
Henry Lewis in the March number
tell the following: A certain Scotch
English. nobleman, one Fraser, who
had commanded in the Boer War,
was with Mr.. Rooseveltsocial GEN
eral Crozier, of our own army, came
in per appointment. General Crozier
in his spare moments has invented a
''rod' bayonet. Also he was urging
its adoption by our army in lieu of
the sword bayonet.
| Mr.. Roosevelt had sent for Gener-
al Crozier to come and defend the
device. After talking pro and con,
Mr.. Roosevelt said suddenly: "Well,
there's nothing like a test. Aside
from the work your bayonet does,
Crozier, the troops complain that it's
too weak. Suppose we have trial"
Mr.. Roosevelt sent for a couple of
Springie!ds, one armed with sword
and the other with ''rod." He gave
General Crozier the one adorned with
his own invention, keeping the sword
bayonet himself.
Feet we'll spread, weapon in posi-
tion, Mr.. Roosevelt gave the word.
"On guard there, Crozier!"
The noble North Briton sat aghast.
Surely the head of the greatest ma
tion on the map was not about to
fence with real bayonets against an
experienced soldier! With the best
and most skilful play, with the most
forbearing caution, there was ohvi-
Gus peril in it! Either one or the
other might get himself stuck like
pig! Fhe noble North Briton could
not credit his ears and eyes. Yet
there they were, the President and
the General, fencing, thrusting, par
rying like born foes.
The play went on for full two min
utes. Then there was rasping sound,
a lock, a twist, and-snap! The
Roosevelt sword bayonet had broken
the Crozier "rod" bayonet short off
at the shank.
The enthralled North Briton heav-
ed deep breath and came out of his
trance. He tells the tale in English
army circles, where it is greatly dis
believed.

And bid us think upon the price

It's terrible the way we are disheart-
ened by example. 1t matters not
which way we turn, we always see a

understood our metes and limitations,
and what fools are we that aspire
above our lowly stations. They used
to have a man to meet the victor home
from battle and mount behind his
chariot, and the din and rattle, and
while his vanity was reused with great
acclaim to chortle and keep repeat

MORTAL"

That otherwise had strayed.

creetly increase as the comet con-
tinues to approach. Mr.. Carnegie
will also give away money on a larger
scale now.
The moon will be on the celestial
equator on the 18th. This will be
fortunate combination for Pinchot,

that some of the rest of us can see.
The Spring Equinox will come on the

able to see if he is still on the job, and,
if so, what is probably holding him
up.
AND then the April wind will blow
From Araby afar,
And on the 1st we shall recall

Why Shackleton Turned Back.

Lieutenant Shackleton's account of
the last days of his journey is thrill
+ ing, and as it describes conditions
which will be met by the two expedi-
tions now forming I subjOin few ex-
tracts:
The blizzard had done it's work, how
ever, and we recognized that we had just
about reached our limit. We got up at
Q a. m. and at a. m. were away for a
final march south, taking with us nothing
but food, instruments and the queens
flag. with bamboo rod for staff.
Half running, half walking, we made
that last march, and at a. m. in latitude
88 degrees % minutes we hoisted the union
Jack. We could do no more, for to go
farther meant abandoning all hope of get
ting back to our depots.
The pole, though only ninety-seven geo.
graphical miles away Gil statute miles,,
was impossible for us to attain. Before
US stretched the same white plain over
which we had Travelled for many days
Our powerful Goertz glasses Showed no
signs of land, and we could safely as
sumo that the geographical south pole
was situated on this immense plateau, be-
tween 10000 and 11,0O0 feet above sea level
and certainly the coldest and one of the
most stormy parts of the world. We took
a photograph of the party, with the
queens flag blowing out in the icy wind
that cut US to the bone, took possession
of the plateau on behalf of his majesty
and Immediately began the march back to
our camp, our faces once more turned
north.
The leader of the American expedi-
ton viii probably not be announced
for some time. The most likely men
for the post are Borup and Mcmillan,
both Of whom accompanied Peary in
his north pole dash. Whoever is in
command, Robert e. Peary will be the
actual head. Under his guidance and
inspiration we have right to hope
that, despite the handicaps against the
Americans, they will win the race and
that the first flag raised at the south
pole, as at the north. will be the stars
and stripes.

KEEN RACE FOR
Contest Between England and
America That Is Expected 10
Arouse the Sporting BlOod Of
the Whole World !: :. ::
By JAMBs A. EDGERroN.

WNHE south pole may as we'll come
in and be discovered. The
Americans and English are aft
er it. and when both branches
of the Anglo-Saxon race start out to
do a thing there is nothing more to it.
AS Captain Robert F. Scott, the leader
of the prospective British expedition,
expressed it, he will stay two years if
he does not discover the pole in one,
will stay three years if he does not
discover it in two, and added, ''In fact,
we shall jolly well stop there till the
thing is done"
AS for the American expedition, it's
commanding spirit will be Robert E.
Peary, even though he is not to accom-
pany it in person. 1t is Peary who
plans it, Peary who turned over to it
the $4,000 given him in New York,
Peary who donates it the use of the
Roosevelt and Peary's companions in
the discovery of the north pole who
will man the expedition. Since Peary
tried for the other end of the world for
twenty-three years, it is unnecessary
to say that the exploring party organ
lied by him and animated by his spirit
will also Jolly well stop there till the
thing is done"
There have been few finer exam
pies than that furnished by Command
er Peary in'this entire affair. His cor

explorations had established a prior
claim in the antarctic field, revealed
the instincts of the sportsman and an
honorable regard for the feelings OF
others. Peary's donation of his $lO,-

dramatic touch and exhibited unself-
ishness. This same unselfshness was
displayed by his voluntary relinquish-
ment of the honor of leading the ex-
pedition.
Belated Recognition.
Those of us who criticised Mr.. Peary
for his attacks on DR.. Cook should now
be the more ready to render tribute to
the true discoverer of the north pole.
While personally not for long deceived
by the Cook claims. l, like the majority
of other newspaper men who wrote on
the subject, regarded Peary's stric-
lures on his rival as ungenerous and
in bad taste. Subsequent events have
to some extent justified him, or at least
have shown his provocation. When
one has worked twenty-three years for
a certain thing and at last has attain
ed it only to have some purveyor OF
fiction beat him to the cable Office and
claim the laurefs-well, who wouldn't
Eel tStop, thief?'
The last heard of DR.. Cook he was in
South America, but he was not looking
for the south pole. He has doubtless
had enough of the polar proposition to
last him the rest of his natural life.
The doctor seems to be yearning for
obscurity. Why not let him have it?
1t is now Peary's turn. The house
of representatives may not be willing
to make him a rear admiral, but why
should that disturb him? There are

Pole Oh a High Plateau.
The probability is that the south pole
is on plateau 10000 feet in eleva-
ton and that both exploring parties
will have an all land route. Shackle-
ton found land all the way in his
journey and when he reached his far
thest south at Ill miles from the goal
said that powerful feldglasses reveal
ed continuing plateau as far as he
could see His elevation was then
about 10000 feet Because of the alti-
tude and for the reason that there IS
no sea water to modify the tempera-
ture the area surrounding the south
pole is colder than that encountered
by arctic explorers. Mountains and
glaciers also make the going in the
antarctic difficult. For all that, the
discovery of the south pole should be
less difficult than was that of the
northern end of the world There are
no open leads and no drifting ice foes,
two of the obstacles that have de-
Geated so many arctic explorers in their
efforts to reach the north pole.
The route to be followed by the
American party leading in from We'd
dell sea is also thought to be over
the land, though next to nothing is
actually .FnoWn concerning it. A
coast line has been discovered, and
this is supposed to be the shore of
the antarctic continent. 1t may, how
ever, be only a shell, with open sea
beyond it. Again, it may lead to
high and practically inaccessible
mountain ranges. This uncertainty as
to what the Americans may encounter
would put the odds in favor of the
British, since they will follow for
most of the distance the course al
ready trayersed by Lieutenant Shac-
kleton, just as Shackleton, in turn.

platoons of rear admiraIs, but only one
pole discoverer. Who knows the names
of six of our estimable rear admirals?
Yet who in the circle of the nations
has not heard of Peary? Some of
these holders of toy titles and gilt
shoulder straps get an inflated notion
of such things. In the big world of
real men and women what do they
count for? What have they to do with
the ages? So long as history lasts
Peary's fame will last. What could
a rear admiral's title add to him?
Bartlett Will Go.
Captain Robert A. Bartlett, who COM
manded the Roosevelt in it's trip to
the arctic and went nearer the north
pole than any white man except Peary,
has already resigned good job to
take his old station in the trip to the
other end of the world. Before he had
sent in his resignation his possible con-
nection with the antarctic expedition
was discussed with Commander Peary.
"Will Bartlett go?" somebody asked
Peary paused in open mouthed as
tonishment. "Will Bartlett go?" he
repeated musingly, as if to make sure
that he had heard Alright. Bartlett
will go. Nothing but ball and chain
and the bars of a state or federal
prison could possibly keep Bartlett
from going"

in each case will be made next sum-

hemisphere are, of course, the exact

go into winter quarters in 1911 and
to make the actual polar dashes dur
ing the spring and summer of 1911-12
If successful the expeditions will then
start home early in 1912. 1t is bare
ly possible that news may be heard
of one or both ventures before either
reaches a cable station, as the British
intend to take wireless apparatus and
to establish wireless stations at their
two bases, which will be approximate
Iy 500 miles apart. 1t is not impossi-
,, BILE that these wireless stations could
be utilized for communication with

he has held since 1904. His first ant

made a pass discovered, and an ap-

.ticism current at the time Of the

prove an endless expense without
adequate return. Forty years
ago Alaska was known almost
solely to traders, and these rare
ly penetrated to the interior In
1907 the United States shipped
$4,000, 900 worth OF goods and
received in return $50, 100000
worth OF Alaska's products, con-
sisting mainly Of gold, fish and
furs. These figures Of one years
commerce are double what they
were in 1903, only four years
earlier.
So far the item of gold has ex-
ceeded in value that of all other
Alaskan products. The copper
and coal deposits of the territory
await the construction of rail
roads for their development.
Alaska also has rich deposits of
silver, tin and gypsum and ex-
tensive forests Of timber. Next
to gold the fishery products fig
ure in Alaska's commerce. The

mails are steadily decreasing,
