THE SOUTH POLE

The: first discoveries were made in
the antarctic regions in 1772-1775 by
Capt. James Cook of the British navy,
but it was not until four years ago
to-day, Dec. IA, 1911, that Capt. Ron
aid Anundsen, the Norwegian explo-
rer, succeeded in attaining the South
Pole. No less than nine nations have
participated in the, quest of the ''bot-
tom of the earth" Great Britain lead
ing with twelve expeditions, includ-
ing the i1-fated and tragic one of
Capt. Scott. Three German explo-
rers tried to reach the goal, and the
United States, France, Sweden and
Norway, each sent two expeditions,
while Russian, Belgian and Japanese
explorers also took part in the hazar-
dous quest. Capt. Cook was the. first
to the cross the Antarctic Circle in
1873. There We're no further explo-
rations in that. region until 1919. when
American and British ships visited the
southern frozen seas. Since then
scarcely. a decade has passed without
several expeditions to the antarctic
country. The quest of the South Pole
however, in; consequence there have
been fewer tragedies in that region
than in the arctic country.

work in Serbia, has just passed his
fifty-first milestone. Sir Ralph was

ed to London to become under secret
tary at the foreign Office. Lady Pa
get has been a. leader in the relief
work in Serbia since the outbreak of
the war, and has been in charge of
several Red Cross hospitals in that
Sadly stricken country. Early this
year she was stricken with typhus,
and had to return to ENGLAND, but in
July last she returned to Serbia A
Berlin dispatch last month stated that
she was in charge Of the Red Cross
hospital at Uskub, Serbia, when that
city was captured by the Bulgarians,
and added that she had entered the
Bulgarian service because of her abb
horrence of the stbarbarism'' of the
Serbians. This allegation has been

CHINESE BANKERS
REFUND NATIONAL
SALVATION FUND
Subscribers to Support of
Republic Demand Their
Money Back.

Shanghai, Dec. 14-Both the Bank
OF China and the Bank of Communi-
cations have opened their offices to re-
fund money to subscribers of the Ma
ttona1 Salvation Fund. The demand
for the return of the money which
subscribers gave. largely for the pur-
pose of Strengthening the government
under the republic had become SO in
sistent since the beginning of the
rnonarchia1 movement that the gov
eminent officials apparently felt that
it was inadvisab1e to retain the money
Of unwilling giVers.
Since the establishment Of the Ma
tionaI Salvation Fund seven months
ago $500 900 has been contributed at
element in this city opposed to the
change in the form Of government it
is likely that the Withdrawals from
the fund will be numerous.
The National Salvation Fund grew
out of the patriotic outbursts follow
ing the japanese demands last spring.
The recent action of Japan, in con-
junction with the European powers,
seeking a postponement of the mon
archical movement, has been regard
ed by many Chinese as resumption of
Japan's effort to gain control over
Chinese affairs. This action on the
part of Japan has tended to silence
many Cn1n0S0 VINO opposed the mon
archy, but feel that China should pre-
sent an unbroken front to outside in
reference. &
Many Chinese newspapers which
OPP osed the monarchy have dropped
that fight to resume the opposition to
Japan.
However, the changed attitude on
the part of the Chinese towards their
own internal affairs has not prevented
many Chinese from withdrawing their
rnonevstn the ra fri nfic. fund

Ypres and Newport are all commence

The taking Of Antwerp is recorded
by no fewer than i've medaIs: the
most Interesting shows the city with
its cathedral and the River Scheldt,
on the banks of which, a large German
eagle, heavily crowned, is standing
while the reverse bears St. George
and the Dragon. The Teutons. for
this occasion, have annexed Eng
lands patron saint, and, as a compH-
ment to Winston Churchill, Belgium
and the British Naval Brigade are in

medal being struck in anticipation of
the triumphant entry into Paris. it
somewhat missed its purpose. Paris,
without any confederation for his feel

designer got badly left. Several other
medals were struck in readiness for
the capture of Paris, but later they
also had to be consigned to the melt
