THE advance or retreat of ii glacier is
determined by the amount of snowfall
ana the amount of melting of the ice. Re
cession of a glacier is caused by the melt
ing of the glacier terminus plus the loss
through icebergs which float away. If
snowfall decreases melting increases
the balance is destroyed and the end of
the glacier recedes by melting back. In
crease in snowfall and decrease in melt
ing cause an advancement.

GLACIER COSTS CANADA
ONLY ALASKAN HARbOR
Movement of Great Body of Ice Ex-
planned by Prof. Laurence
Martin.

Prof. Lawrence Martin of Wisconsin
University, who has just completed sur
vey OF the glaciers of Glacier bay. Alas
ka, for the National Geographic Society,
arrived in Washington today. He re-
ported that Canada's only harbor on the
Alaskan coast, created in the summer OF
1917 by stupendous recession of Grand
Pacific glacier, has been closed owing to
an aoout-face" movement on the part
OF the glacier. amounting to more than
1000 feet In the last ten months.
In the spirit of the Alaskan boundary
treaty. Canada should have had no har-
Dor whatever in this region explains
Prof. Martin. The international bound
airy crosses the valley occupied by
Grand Pacific glacier about twelve miles
northwest of the ice front of 1894. Here
a portion of the boundary line was placed
less than thirty-five statue miles from the
supposed head Of the bay
Canadians Exult.
ut is certain that this portion of the
boundary was not located I'm the expec-
tation OF such great retreat of Grand
Pacific glacier as has since taken place
August 1, 1912, the glacier had receded
so lar that Its terminus was In Brltlsn
Columbia rather than in Alaska, and
Canada acquired a new harbor The new
seaport was in a snowy desert land and
was reached only by traversing Ameri-
can waters, but that made no difference
TO the Canadians. When / was up north
in the summer of 1912 the Canadian
papers were full of glowing and exulting
accounts of the new harbor. 1t was
impossible for any one to use IT as a
harbor at the time. but that did not pre-
vent the Canadians from being happy.
However, sudden and rapid advance
of the glacier during the past ten months
has robbed Canada of her harbor. The
front of the glacier now is about three
quarters of mile across the boundary
line on the Alaskan side.
The international boundary is now fixed
and, of course, will not be changed
merely because the terminus of a tidal
glacier was accepted as the head of bay
and the bay was later enlarged by retro
greSson of its head
