ICE HALTS STEFANSS0N;
SHIP CRUSHED BY FLOES
Arctic Expedition May Be Delayed
Year as Result Of Un-
usual Conditions.

NOME, Alaska, August 26.-The old
whaler Karluk, which was taking vilh-
jalmar Stefansson's Canadian polar ex-
ploration expedition into the arctic met
with a serious accident in the ice of
Alaska, and may have to unload her
cargo, according to word received here
from the revenue cutter Bear.
The extent of the damage to the Kar-
LUX is not known, but it Is reported that
a large hole was stove in her hull. The
Stefansson expedition found unusual ice
conditions at Barrow. The Karluk was
caught between the Ice foes and is drift
ing with the ice.
Arid Henton. a member OF the crew,
quit at Barrow, and told the officers of
the revenue cutter of the Karluk's plight
The exact nature of the accident to the
Karluk has not yet been learned.
SEATTLE. Wash, August 26.-The Ste
fansson expedition on the karluk as the
boats Mark Sachs and Alaska left Port
Clarence, Alaska, ninety miles north of
Nome, late in July.
When the expedition left Port Clarence
stefansson expected to round Point Bar
row early In August and reach Herschel
Island, off the mouth OF the Mackenzie
river, by August 10. His plans. however,
were predicated on clear water from
Boring strait to Herschel Island
The arctic ice usually has withdrawn
toward the pole at this season OF the
year and the explorer expected to expert
ence little difficulty sailing east from
Barrow. The brief dispatch from Nome
indicates that extraordinary ice condi-
lions have been encountered and 1t is
doubtful If the expedition will be able to
reach Herschel Island this season, even
IL the damage to the karluk does not
necessitate unloading her heavy cargo Of
provisions. which were to last the ex-
piorers during their three years stay

as never in the history have they had
their books closed With deficit against
them.
The storm, it is explained, caused great
damage at the camps and this meant the
outlay Of large sum Of money for re-
pair work At the baby camp the porch,
the roof of the house and the chimney
were damaged. Tents at the other two
camps had to be changed and trees which
were blown down had to be removed.
Vegetables Suffered From Drought.
1t also is explained that on account Of
the drought the garden did not do as well
this year as usual, and quite a few vege-
tables had to be bought
With the exception OF the overhanging
debt, this has been the most successful
year of the camps. it ID said. About 1856
children and their parents were accomo-
dated weekly at Camp Good VIII, and
about eighty-five at Camp Pleasant dur
ing the eight weeks they were open. Al
the baby camp, about fifteen babies and
eight mothers were accommodated on a
weekly average At this last camp, II Is
said, several remarkable recOveries were
made.
Improved health, as a result or the

Unprepared for War.
Gen. Meade said we were unprepared
before the Mexican war Of 1916 The
same statement would be true of our con-
dition today. We have a paltry force
near the Mexican border, three men to
every mile. We have a large force at
Galveston ready for embarkation for
Vera Cruz. If there should be armed
trouble with Mexico, the first troops to
move would be those on the west coast.
This would leave that entire territory
open as prey to any foe that might care
to enter 1t.
