CROSS MARKS HEROES GRAVE
Expedition May Be Sent to Antartic
Next Summer to Recover Bodies
OF Expiorers--WhoIe Story to
BE Told Later.

London, Eng, Feb. IA dispatch
TO the Daily Mail from Christchurch,
N. T., on Friday says that full details
OF Capt. Robert f. SCOTS return jour
ney viii reveal still more glorious
page of history when they are pub
Iished than the brief official narrative
"'ft is stated" says the Daily Mall
that Lieutenant Evans was assisted
by his comrades from the pole until
his death and that every ounce of food
was exhausted long before death came
to SCOTS party. Only small guam
tity of tea was found with the bodies,
which were discovered in the follow
ing positions: Scott sitting with his
back to the tent pole. Between his
head and the tent pole he had placed
his diary as a support TO his head.
DIR. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers
were lying I'm their sleeping bags.
Possibly an expedition viii be sent
for the bodies next summer. A memo
rial cross to Scott. Wilson and Bowers
was erected On Observation hill 1t
was constructed of Jarrah wood and
will last for ages.
Members of the expedition indicate
that possibly disappointment at Am
undsens forestalling them took the
.'stiffening' out of SCOTS party for the
return journey.
while descending Beardmore gla-
cier the ice was found to be terribly
rough and many distractions ten TO
twelve feet high had to be climbed
which resulted in the explorers being
badly bruised or strained. Command
er Evans denies that the explorers
died of survy. He says death was due
to exposure and weakness.
1.-The members of Lieutenant Camp
bells northern party are In magnlh-
cent health, considering the terrible
privations they underwent in an igloo,
where they led a primitive existence
for six and one-half months. They had
a regular physical drill. Their only
literature was David Copperfield. OF
which one chapter was read aloud
daily.
ut is doubtful whether any of the
difficulties of Scott and his party will
be published before the history of the
expedition appears in book form. Sur
geon Atkinson. who organized the
searching party, refused to give any
Information beyond the official nara
tive"
Commander Evans In a dispatch to
the Daily Chronicle says the whole
history of the expedition certainly will
be given TO the public in due course

BEEF SUPPLY DIMINISHING.
Americans Consume an Average of

Americans Consume an Average of
1862 Pounds Year, Per Head.
Washington, Feb. 19.-The annual
report of the bureau of animal indus
try presented to congress on Monday
presents figures showing to what an
alarming extent the country's supply
of beef has decreased in the past few
years. Congress is urged in the re-
port to provide better legislation for
the regulation of diaries.
1.-The home demand for beef has
been increasing along with the popu-
lation," says the report. According
to the census, we have 29,00o,000 more
people to feed than we had 20 years
ago. Americans are great meat eat
ers. A recent estimate made in this
bureau shows the annual consumption
of meat per head of the population 70
be 162 pounds, of which beef constr
tutes so pounds and veal LIZ pounds.
1.-THE time has come when we must
conserve our meat supply and take
steps to increase it,
