GOES TO EASTERN COLLEGE
Miss Ada L. Comstock to Leave State
University.

Miss Ada L. Comstock, fer five
years dean of women at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, has been elected
dean Of Smith college, Northampton,
Mass, a position ranking second only
to the presidency of the college. She
will leave Minnesota at the end OF the
present college year. Miss Comstock
is graduate of Smith college, class of
1897.
The work of Miss Comstock as dean
OF women at Minnesota was the cause
of her election by the trustees of
Smith college. At Minnesota her posi-
ton is advisory, while at Smith col
lege she will have more direct con-
troll, probably will not teach but give
her entire time to administrative
work.
Miss Comstock's election took place
early in February. She attended a
meeting Of the college trustees, Of
which she is one, was asked to leave
the meeting temporarily and in heE
absence was elected.
Miss Comstock became an instructor
In the English department at the uni
Versity twelve years ago and later was
made professor in the same depart
ment.

A London dispatch says: mo ques-
ton of his proofs will be raised so
far as Captain Roald Amundsen is
concerned when he reaches civiliza-
ton. The captain landed from, the
Fran at Hobart, Tasmania, for brief
period on Friday, March 8, but posi-
lively refused to make any statement
regarding his achievements. He made
it very plain, however, that he will
| not wait to submit his proofs that he
actually discovered the pole, but will
send them to the various geographical
! societies in the near future. There
seems to be general acceptance from
Englishmen that the Norwegian did
exactly what he said he did in the
cablegrams received by his brother,
which stated that he spent three days
at the pole. That he did this to pre-
vent any suggestion of 'Cookism' is the
| belief in England. Observations taken
on three days in succession at high
noon, it is said, could not be faxed
and there can be no question raised
such as happened in connection even
with Admiral Peary's proofs among
certain scientists. When the question
was bluntly put to Amundsen whether
Captain Scott reached the South pole
the Norwegian explorer refused to
answer it." :.
Captain Amundsen left Christianfa
on board the Fran, which he selected
for his latest expedition. The Fran
has been used for many years in Arc
tic explorations. From 1893 to 1896,
during the expedition of DR.. Fritiof
hansen, she covered a journey OF
about 1000 miles in the Arctic ocean,
5000 miles of this being accomplished
while she was frozen solid in the ice
She was not damaged at all during
this voyage. Captain Amundsen left
Buenos Ayres on his present trip to-
ward the close Of 1910, with small
party of Norwegians, all of them ex-
perienced in Arctic work.

Are Swedish young men mollycod-
dies and frumps? This is what Dr.
Nettelblad seems to believe and ne
bases his observations on those OF Dr'
Sven Hedin, who recently wrote
very caustic newspaper article IN
which he severely criticised the young
men of the country, principally CnoSe
who refuse to do military service.
every word that has been uttered by
DR.. Hedin is true to my way of think
ing" says DR.. Nettelblad, land l de-
sire to heartily thank him for what he
has said. There is an unlimited self
fshness which seems to permeate
them and it seems to increase from
year to year and has absolute control
over our young men. l have just re-
ceived the annual reports from the
various regiments and after reading
them through | wish to underscore
every word of the criticism entered by
Dr.. Hedin. When more than 70 per
cent of a regiment reports sickness
when a forced march of twenty miles
is to take place, can one call this any
thing but weakness? Are they any
thing but frumps and mOllycOddles?
Military doctors are practically in de-
Gpafr and they cannot begin to supply
the places made vacant by those pre-
tending to be sick. This glarHng
weakness among our military young
mon is a most disgusting feature and
one would really wonder how they
would conduct themselves on a real
battlefield. They are sOrely in need OF
the most rigid discipline and some
thing thoroughgoing and epochmaking
will have to be done soon or our young
military men will surely become moth
ing but a frumpish and good for moth
ing lot" Judging from other news
paper comment it would seem that it
ts not so much weakness on the part of
the young men as it is their aversion
for military service. The young man
OF today in Sweden is not very en-
4hustasttc over military matters.

Great Influx of immigrants Since the

The biggest and most valuable in
hux of settlers that Minnesota has
ever known is on. More than 1000
families, principally farmers from
states east and south of the state,
have already entered since Jan. 1. The
movement is getting into full swing.
AS many settlers who are farmers with
means came into the state last year
as came in the entire three years pre-

rate is maintained, twice as many will
have settled here as came in last year

The plan is to make the prisoners

Il wish to get rid" said the sheriff.
"of lot of my regular .boarders, fell

pretext or other as soon as their

Roosevelt to Contest the South.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Special
The discrepancies between the claims
I OF the Taft and Roosevelt managers
of delegates already chosen grow
wider every day. In a statement, in
Guiding Tuesdays results In New
| York and Wednesdays results in Mis-
| sissippi and Colorado, the Taft man
ayers claimed 264 delegates, or ten
delegates less than half of the num-
Der needed to nominate Mr. Taft. The
Roosevelt bureau so far has not form
ulated its claims in New York. and it
has said nothing about Colorado and
Mississippi. But where the Taft man.
ayers concede Mr.. Roosevelt only
twenty -four delegates. Senator Dixon,
| leaving out the elections of the past
/ tive days, claims fifty for his chief
and comedies to Mr.. Taft only TWEEN
ty-two votes in all. 1t is safe to
say that Mr.. Dixon will put nearly
every New York district in the con
eight delegates chosen in Colorado
and the sixteen chosen in Mississippi,
all of whom are claimed outright By
the Taft managers.
The only points of agreement e-
tween the tables issued from the t., -
bureaus come where they treat of the
claims of Mr.. Cummins and Mr.. La
Toilette. With complete unanimity,
both headquarters concede two dele
gates to Mr.. Cummins and ten dele
gates to Mr.. La Toilette. Senator
Dixon throws the southern districts
en- bloc into the contest column, even
where Mr.. Taft's supremacy was prac-
ucally undisputed. and contests are
raised in every district all over the
country where there is the least SEN
timent
