our relation to the possibility of war
or were so lukewarm toward prepared
ness as to suggest an opposition they
did not express" An article on "Con-
gressional Leaders and Our Prepared

men of the naval and military affairs
committees in both houses of congress
and their respective attitudes in T.
past on the question of an adequate
national defense, which give a hint
Of what their disposition will be to-
ward the army and navy appropria-

An article on "The Cost of Unprepar-

wars from the Revolution to the Civ

which have resulted from our un-

sTEFANssoN DRIVES AHEAD.
Officials Gratified by His Plans to
Continue Explorations.


ottawa, Sept. 17.-First definite
tiding that the world has received
from Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the Arc
tic explorer, for a year and half,
were received today by the naval de-
partment, which sent him and his
companions on their periIouS trip to
the frozen north The advices from
the explorer were meager, but suffi-
cient to show that he and his campan-
ions are safe.
Stefansson's advices came from
Nome, Alaska, in the form of a mes
sage signed by himself and dispatched
from Baillie islands on August 81.
The message follows:
LAS unavoidable delays threatened
and the running cost of chartering the
Polar Bear was high, I purchased
her and engaged her on terms similar
to Karluk. Engaged Hoff, engineer
Blue of Alaska. Engaged five extra
helpers for southern parts who have
ample outfit for one year, and Polar
Bear for two years Plan continue
northern explorations to hundred and
forty-five west and eightytwo further
north, if northerly course is secured"
News of Stefanssons determination
to proceed with his explorations, de-
spite the loss of the Karluk, the chief
vessel ir his original expedition, was
received with qualification by officials
here. The Polar Bear, engaged by
him in place of the Karluk, is a well
known and tried Arctic vessel. He
seems to have gathered supplies for
a farther stay of two years in the Arc
tic zone.
Baillie islands, from which Stefans-
sons message is dated, are east of the
mouth of the Mackenzie river, toward
Banks land and lie in latitude 20
north longitude 127 west.
The coast of BaiI1ie islands, which
are separated from Cape Bathurst by
a narrow channel, are SO flat that the
few boats that have reached there
have had to anchor nearly a mile
from the beach.
