Whole Truth Has Not Been Told OF
tho Death Of Captain Scott
In the Far
South.
INVESTIGATION NEEDED
Shortage Of Fuel When Within
Eleven Miles Of Safety Was
Cay 81 Their Terri.
Bile Fate.

Ly SlETON, N. D., Feb. 13.-lr
any = of the supporting expeditions
wgs any way responsible for the
death Of Captain Scott and his four
companions within eleven miles of
safety, it will not be known until the
personal diaries and records of the
dead men are placed in the hands of
their families.
The reticience of Commander
Evans and the other survivors aboard
the Terra Nova, today excited the
suspicion of those who visited the re-
lief ship, that there was some sordid
story back of what at first seemed
wholly a tale of sublima.ed heroism.
Commander Evans said that no rec
ords found with the dead would be
made public until they were given
over to the families of the men. Cap
tain Scott, in his last message to the
public, vaguely hlnted that his return
to shelter was impeded by shortage
1 Of fuel, which he said "for which
/ cannot account"
If the diaries of the other dead
men make similar comment, their
families, it was hinted today, might
demand an investigation through any
of the three channels, the admiralty
i the royal geographical society or thu
4 North British antarctic society.
At frequent Intervals on his wa,
south, Captain Scott left caches q
4 blubber and other supplies, to sus
4 tain him on the return trip.
On two occasions on his final dash
/! the commander sent back return par
ties. The last of these, from latitude
4 81 degrees, 30 minutes, consisted o
three men, under the leadership q
Commander Evans. In his last mes
sage, Captain Scott commented
pathetically on the shortage Of fue
and food in his supply depots.
4 Experts on polar exploration agreed
that there were two possible explana
tions; Captain Scott's depots wer'
tapped by the return parties, or th'
blubber evaporated. When the Terr'
Nova arrived here, Commander Evan
refused to talk about the death o
Captain Scott or to discuss its causes

tain Scott referred to is of hardl.

HARD TIMES.

Hard times will come ere very long, some prophets do affirm: soon things will all be going wrong, and grief will make us squirm. The seers may all be off their base as they have been be- fore; they like to scare the human race and make us sad and sore. And then again, they may be right, their guesses may come true; if panics put us in. a plight, twill he a howdydo. So let's be hop ing for the best while fixing for the worst, and do our daily stunts with Zest till our suspenders burst. Let's put in brine the use- full scads for which We work with haste economize as did our dads, and cut out foolish waste. It will not hurt us to believe that pan ics will arrive; the more of sav- ing We achieve, the more we all will thrive. And if the panicS do not come. but better times in- stead, if things keep up their busy hum, we'll be that much ahead. l sometimes think when l am sane, free from my keepers care. a panic would not be in vain, cen though it brought despair. For in these fat and golden years we essase to value cash; ; we go in debt silp;1to our ears fofEexery kind of trash. We buy thousand fool ish things, we are such easy marks: the dollars that We earn have wings and fly to beat the larks. Perhaps we'd learn to val ue wealth and try to save the price, if Panic came on us by stealth, and slugged us once OF twice. WALT MASON.
