2 NATIONS FLAGS
AT SOUTH POLE

+, tBy United Press Leased wire,
| LONDON, March s.--captain
Ronald Anrundsen positively denies
telling the correspondent Of the
London Express or anyone else
that Captain Rcbs. r. Scott Of the
British Royal navy had reached the
South PoIe.' This dispatch today.
dated Hobart, Tasmania, to the
Reuter- Telegram Co.. here. further
complicates the situation in the al
legged successful dash 20 the South
peie Of the British explorer.
Englishmen generally believe
that Capt Amundsen was respon-
sibie for the first message In which
Scott was given credit for reach
ing the Pole first. and the Royal
Geographical society has capled to
New Zealand. asking for further
news. A reply stated that nothing
has been heard there from either
Captain Amundsen or Captain
Scott.
Another Confirmation.
Confirmation OF the success Of
Capt. Amundsen's South Polar dash
was received by the London Ex-
press today in a dispatch from Ho-
bart. Tasmania. The message also
announced that the explorer would
visit San Francisco before return
ing TO Europe.
News that Capt. Amundsen had
landed al Hobart for a brief stay,
but had refused 10 discuss his
achievements. we're also contained
In the dispatch. II was said that
the explorer was preparing a state
ment for the geographical society
and that these would be sent out
soon. Captain Amundsen kept the
crew aboard theakram. and has sue
eessfully prevented details of his
trip from leaking out.
| After a weeks stay In Hobart.
the Norwegian explorer will sail for
Buencs Ayres. aud thence around
the Horn to San Francisco. From
there he plans to drift through the
Northwest passage to the Atlantic
The fact that no direct news has
been received from Captain Scott
Is taken TO indicate that Capt.
Amundsen reached the South Pole
first.
