Hobart. Tasmania, March Son
1.-the 10th of February, 1911, We COM
menced to work our way toward the
south, from that day to the 18th of
April establishing three depots. which
In all contained quantity of pro.
visions of about 5000 kilos. One
thousand six hundred kilos, including
1,100 kilos of seal meat, were cached
in so degrees, 700 kilos in 81 degrees
and 500 kilos in 80 degrees south
latitude.
AS no landmarks were to be seen,
these depots were marked with flags
seven kilometers on each side in the
easterly and westerly directions.
The ground and the state OF the
barrier were of the best, and speci.
ally well adapted to driving with
dogs. On February 10, we had thus
travelled about 100 kilometers. The
weight OF the sledges was 800 kilos,
and the number OF dogs was six for
each sledge. The surface OF the bar.
rier was smooth and fine with no sas.
trugi. The crevices were very local
and were found dangerous In only
two places. For the rest-long
smooth unduiations.
The weather was excellent, calm OF
light breeze. The lowest tempera
ture on these depot trips was minus
40 celsius or centlgrade. (49 degrees
below zero. Fahrenheit). On the
4th OF March, on our return from the
first trip beginning on the 18th OF
February, we found out that the
FRAN had already left us. With pride
and delight we heard that her smart
captain had succeeded In sailing her
furthest south and there hosting the
colors of his country--a glorious mo
merft for him and his comrades-the
furthest north and the furthest south

not to lay down the law to them as
to how they must act.

Uncle SAM has in his army some
~ thousands of little brown men of
the mid-Pacific, who approximate all
grades of civilization and lack of it
and who are well typified by the ac-
companying Illustration, which shows
the Philippine soldier in the course Of
being transformed. A year before this
picture was taken these men were
wild In the woods, with nothing but a
breechclout in the way Of clothing.
They have advanced to a stage where
they take great pride in their caps
and coats, but still refuse to adopt the
trousers and shoes. A year later,
however. they will be found as fully
equipped as is their captain. shown in
the foreground.
The Philippine constabulary, OF
which these men are a part, is now a
little more than 5000 strong, includ-
ing officers and men. To be exact
