RACING FOR THE SOUTH POLE
Much Interest Taken In London In
Expeditions Headed by Capt.
Scott and Ronald Amundsen.

Copenhagen.-The race between the
Antarctic expeditions under Captain
Scott and Capt. Ronald Amundsen for
the south pole is attractiong much at
tention here, and is the subject of con-
siderable comment in the press of
Scandinavia.
DR.. Rensch. president of the Nor
wegian Geographical society. speaking
with regard to Amundsen's chances,
states that he can surmount the diff
culties of reaching the pole II he Is
able to get his dogs safely over the
equator. This Is the main point, but
he must start also under the Same
conditions as those found by the expe-
dition under Sir Ernest Shackleton and
Capt Scott.
Prof. Mohn, a great Polar expert,
agrees with DR.. hansen In thinking
that 1t will certainly be impossible to
reach the south pole from Cape Adare.
and that Amundsen has made a mis-
take in not going by some other route
than that followed by the British ant
arctic expedition.

The stories they told me of this poor

MODERN SCHOOL OF MARINERS.

The old saying that there Is no loss
without some gain is borne out by the
change which has been wrought In
the country's shipping. There has
been much lament over the decadence
of the famous Yankee seamanship.
but after the passing of the clipper
and whaling fleets at last has come
to the high seas a new breed OF Amer
icans who are the equals II not the
superiors Of the old. The mechan-
ical genius OF the nation has sent
many young men to the steamships
OF the navy and the merchant marine.
says the Cleveland Leader. Ninety
per cent. of the sailor-mechanics OF
the United States navy are American
born. Twenty years ago. the proper
ton OF Americans on merchant YES
sells was only about 80 per cent. In
1910 the proportion was 40 per cent.
the natives heavily predominating
ever the naturalized. The showing
for this year will be even better, as
the movement of Americans to the
sea has been steadily increasing for
several years. In many ways the ma
riners of the new school are better
than the old shellbacks that heaved
at the cap'stan bar and lay out on the
end OF the yardarm. The demands
of steam and electrical machinery re-
quire a different kind of skill and
more intelligence. The constant ad-
vance of mechanics and electrical
science makes 1t necessary for them
to keep mentally fresh and alert
They know more and are more pro-
gressive than the old-time sailor and
In their habits they are cleaner.
