Does Norway Own the Pole?

New YOrk.-The question of whath
er Norway owns the territory sur
rounding the South Pole, which has
just been discovered by Captain ROAD
AmundSen, has already begun, to he
discussed by authorities on interna
uonaI law covering the ownership NJ
Arctic and Antarctic lands.
Ever since 177S, when Capta,r
Cooks expedition planted flag in tba
Antarctic territory, explosers of vari,
Gus nations have carried the flags y,
thelr countries to various points an.
proachlng the South Pole. II is pen.
orally believed that the land in tho
Antarctic will be regarded in the same
way as the Spitzbergen arcbipelapo
which is inhabited by men of yarioua
nations and is now regarded as ioin,
possession of all mankind.
Professor John Bassett Moore pro.
lessor OF international law at Co,un,
Ola university, points out that LEADING
authorlties have taken the position
that discovery alone does not suffice
TO give good title to a new unoccunied
iand and that the customs of nations
1or centuries has crystallized into a
law that in order to perfect the rigbt
gwen by discovery it must be fol.
lowed by general occupation.

more than generation It's delicate

refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best Of toilet soaps.
It is also invaluable In keeping the

While Its first cost is few cents
more than that Of ordinary toilet

Gale and Snow.

The next day the march was con
tlnued in a gale with the drifting
snow in the face of the marchers
Pursuing their course, they reached
81 degrees south latitude, according
to their dead reckoning. At dinner
time the weather cleared a bit and
revealed to them their surroundings
There was high mountain range

it for only moment and then it dis
appeared again in the wonderful drift

The weather Gained down on the
18th and the sun shone through The
shadow clouds. This was a glad sur.
prise, as the explorers were able to
see their course ahead of them
It was a far stretch of glacier for
nation, running almost due south,
This was named Devils glacier, and
at its foot a depot for six days was es-
tablished. It's location was Sc de-
grees q minutes south latitude, and
the hypsometer indicated 5000 feet
above sea level.
The long climb up the glacier was
begun November 80. The lower parT
was very difficult. It was much

EXPLORERS SPENT THREE DAYS THERE
Their Start and Return to Winter Quarters.
Climbing the Great Ice Peaks.
Planting Of the Flag, Etc,

Hobart. Tasmania. The recital {
the march of AmundSen and his llttI
band to the South Pole is a graph
but simple story of CXtraordlnar
achievement, as told by modest leat
er, whose men are as Unconditional a
their captain.
1t was on February 10, 1911, tina
the march to the south was begu
over an open waste, The absence o
all landmarks made 1t necessary TO
them to plant flags to mark thel
course and to guide their return t
winter quarters on the ice barrier.
Provisions Stored.
Between the time of their start ant
April II they set up three depots, il
which they stored, in all, $50 pounds
of provisions, of which 1920 pounds
was seal meat. OF this food they
placed 1,540 pounds In the Slst de
gree, south latitude, and 1,76O pounds
more in the SD degree.
At the start they had favorable
weather and ground conditions, and il
was easy to drive their dogs. On Feb
ruary Is the sledges, each weighing
$50 pounds, were driven 73 miles
Six dogs made up the team for each
sledge. The lowest temperature they
found at this time was 40 degrees be,
low zero, Fahrenheit.
New Ship Record.
On their return on February IS
from this first trip of laying down
provisions, Amundsen and his follow
ers were rejoiced to find that in their
absence the Fran had been sailed the
farest south of any vessel and that
the Norwegian colors had been raised.
Good old Franz" Amundsen de
scribes his feelings; "farthest north
and farthest south"
Before the arrival of winter, the
northern summer, the crew of the
Fran had in their depots six and a
half tons of seal meat-enOugh for
themselves and 10 dogs. They had
built hutS and tents for their dogs, and
a portable house had been erected for
the men. They were showed in by
April and spent very comfortable
winter. A Lux lamp of 200 candle
power gave them brilliant light and
kept the temperature up to 60 de-
greeS Fahrenheit.
Four Months OF Darkness.
For four months they were in dark
ness. The sun left them on April II,
but they were not idle, and, working
under the light of their powerful
lamp, made a complete change in their
equipment. The sledges had been
found too heavy and clumsy. All the
equipment was lightened up for
speed. They did some scientific work
and made some very interesting me-
neurological observations.
The observation of temperatures
showed unusually mild weather.
much milder than Amundsen expect
ed to find. The general range during
the five months they were in winter
quarters was from So to 76 degrees
below zero. The lowest temperature
actually taken was on August IS,
when the thermometer marked "A de-
grees below zero. The mean tempera-
ture for the year, according to Amund-
sens observations, was 14.S degrees
below zero.
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1912-03-15
Start for the Pole.

1t was on September that eight
men and seven sledges, 80 dogs and
provisions for four months started in
quest of the pole.
AT this time the ground was perfect
for sledge work and the temperature
was not too severe The next dav.
however, they feared that they start,
ed too soon, for the temperature be-
gan to fall and reached between 5S
and "A degrees below zero. The fine
equipment of Amundsen and his men
with furs protected them from suffer.
Ing, but dogs lost strength daily.
On account of the dogs, Amundsen
determined to return to the winter
quarters and wait for spring. He lost
a few dogs and a couple Of his men
had their heels frozen.
Spring in October.
Spring appeared in the middle of
October. At this time the tempera.
ture was from 4 to % degrees below
zero. Amundsen, before starting
however, changed the plan that all
Should go south. He determined to
take only four men and the other
three were detailed to start for the
east and visit King Edward VII land

was to seek the pole, started. Amund.

Flags as Guides.
The flags they had planted on their

this work soon appeared to be too

Picking up the depots, one after the
other, they reached the SD degree
and established there depot No. T.
On November 13 they reached the
Saith degree and established another
depot, and on the 10th the S5th de-
gree. where there was set up yet an
other depot. All this time they had
been marching due south from their

faith in him as being able to surpass
any other player in shooting in the

entered. In the first game of the
season with the Bronx Y. NJ. H. A.
on the Auditorium court, Harry
dropped seventeen field goals through
the net. He only shot basket in
Bayonne in the second game and so
he still averages eight field goals per
game. He is also the foul shooter of
