the Antarctic storm forced halt.

that only eleven miles farther south
in the white wilderness the brave men

exhausted from lack of food as to be
temporarily unfit for further sledge
duty. Garrard himself was utterly ex-
hausted.
Neither Atkinson nor Evans accom-

GEN. PERsHING WANTS FLAG RESPECTED

Brig. Gen. John ]. Pershing, com
manding the military department OF
Mindanao in the Philippines. has is
sued general order designed to en-
force proper respect for the national
flag.
The nations flag" says he, is
the supreme symbol OF that lofty
patriotism without a controlling
measure Of which the republic could
not long endure.
Both In war and in preparation
for war. the high duty OF the army
to stimulate and develop love OF
country among the people should ever
prompt faithful adherence TO the ex-
ternal forms and ceremonies OF rs-
spect for the national colors.
When an individual pays the
prescribed honors to the flag In q
careless and perfunctory manner hfs
patriotism at once falls under 5ust
suspicion 1t is therefore ordered

tional air at retreat wherever troon.
