WASHINGTON, March 11.-"Dog

Such was the comment today with a
reminiscent grimace of Admiral Rob
ert e. Peary, north pole discoyerer,
upon the eating Of his dogs by An
tarctic Explorer Amundsen.
For flavor and bouquet, it doesn't
compare with tenderloin steak,
said Peary. "but dog meat is fine when
you're cold and hungry--and have
nothing else to eat"
Really. dog meat isn't SO bad
but bite from the hind leg OF a

a rule; it's boiled and then boiled

Peary ridiculed the idea that
Amundsen's observations of the south
pole were Inaccurate because he used
only the sextant and artificial horizon,
and not the theodolite.
"The sextant and artificial horizon
are the recognized instruments used
by all explorers in such work. They
are accurate enough. The theodolite
is much heavier and too bulky for use
except at temporary base or head
quarters. The lighter instruments
we're used by the British arctic ex-
pedition; Nansen, myself and many
other explorers
Peary also pooh-hooed the idea that
Amundsen may not have reached the
exact bottom of the earth His &C,
counts state that he stayed three days

LAWRENCE, Mass, March IL
That the great strike OF the textile
workers here, now In It's tenth week.
will be ended on Wednesday. was
the belief OF the subcommittee of the
general strike committee which went
to Boston for final conference with
the mill owners today. There Presi-
dent Wood of the American Woolen
company and the other mill owners
had promised to demonstrate exactly
in dollars and cents what the latest
offer to the strikers meant.
Wood has told the committee that
his offer meant an increase to the
lowest paid class Of labor, that which
gets from four to seven dollars week
ly, of about twelve per cent The
higher paid workers will get a much
lower percentage Of increases
! The members of the subcommittee
were unit today In stating that, il
the operators can demonstrate to
them that their offer means what, they
say it does and will also agree to the
suggested modification of the speed
up" system and not to discriminate
against anyone because Of activity
during the strike, they will recon-
mend to the full committee the i'm
! mediate acceptance OF the offer. That
4 body, 1t is believed, will immediately
: concur and pass the Offer to the
strikers as whole.
So certain were the strike leaders
that the settlement offer will be ac-
cepted that they prepared today for
q mass meeting on the common of all
the strikers. 1t WAS believed certain
that they would do whatever their lead
| ers urged. The unskilled workers
whose wages have not been high
enough to permit them to much more
( than exist, were the ones for whom
the fight mainly was made and the
better paid workers who have parti-
cipated in the strike will be satisficr
!, if they attain their end
Because of the belief that the
strike will soon be settled there were
few accessions to the workers at the
; mills today.

I tanned by the Industrial Workers of

LONDON, March 11.-With a mil
lion coal miners striking in England
$4,000 out in Germany, with prospects
that their number will be doubled
within few days and walkout In
France, it was believed here today
that the entire coal supply of Europe
may be tied up.
Reports from Paris stated that six
ty percent OF the miners went on
strike today. 1t is believed here that
this is only the forerunner of a gener-
al coal strike in that country.
In Germany the price Of coal is al
ready soaring. Seventy thousand em-
ployes refused to 60 to work today
and the strike leaders predict that
they will be able to tie up the German
industries as effectually as have the
British miners.
A general coal strike in the three
countries would have an alarming ef-
feet upon Europe. The navies of the
three great powers would be rendered
practically useless and millions of
workers, in addition to the strikers,
would be thrown out OF work because
Of the tie.up OF the big factories.
