a misdemeanor, punishable by a
fine Of not less than $40 nor more
than 500, to promiscuously distrib-

Heretofore 1t has been the GUS

BRITISH EXPLORER HAS
DISCOVERED SOUTH POLE

was made for the death of ponies
and dogs. the steady depletion OF
the stores and the loss OF vitality of
the party making up the expedition.
Captain Amundsen had no ponies
and no motor sledge. as his expert
enee led him to place all his reli-
ance on Siberian dogs.
The other competitors in the race
were Lieutenant William Fitchner
of the general staff of the German
army; Lieutenant N. Shiraz Of the
japanese navy, and DIR. Douglas
Mawson, representing Australia.
Lieutenant Fitchner followed
largely the plans of DR.. Nassen and
sailed on the steamer Deutschland
on October 5 last. He is a daring
explorer, having been one of the
first to reach Lhassa IN Tibet, and
much confidence was felt in him
by the Geographical society OF Ber-
lin.
The Japanese explorer followed
the Shackleton route into Ross sea.
but returned to, Sydney, Australia,
in 1911, to repair damage done I'm
Terror bay. His second start was
not made until November last, so
that he is rather behind In the
race.
DR. Mawson, the Australian, took
his route from the harbor of Ho-
bart, Tasmania, aboard the little
ship Murora, and took the land
: route to the east of Ross sea.
These five men and their par
ties were out of sight of the world
for many months, until the first ru-
NOR came yesterday, with the CON
flrmatory repart that Amundsen had
: returned and had brought word that
his leading opponent had reached
: the coveted goal
From geographical and scienti-
: iic standpoint, the discovery of the
South Pole, while a momentous
, event, has not the same features
of importance and danger as relate
to the North Pole. The quest OF
the latter has been through greaf
] fields of open water and floating
ice, whereas the South Pole is sit
! uated on land.
: Scores of navigators have per.
e ished in the quest of the North POLE
e but relatively few in trying to reaci
T sthe South Pole. The problem ha
. not been one of reaching the poll
n over floating ice, but of passing rap
e idly over the snow-covered foothills
u of the mountain range and terrify
/ ing glaciers.
