WASHINGTON, May %. Rear

tributiOn of the American sailors and

1t is expected that Admiral CapertOn

ARCTIC EXPLORERS

croCker Land Proved Myth But
American Expedition Secures
Valuable information
ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirslsss.)


LONDON, May 22.-Prof. Maurice
Tanquary of Chicago, member of the
American Crocker Land Expedition,
has arrived at Copenhagen and reports
that the expedition achieved good
scientific '"sults. Ice is holding othet
members Of the exr"dition with the
ship in North Star Bay.
The Crocker Land expedition went
North in 1918 to locate the supposed
Arctic continent which Admiral Pc.
ary reported having seen and which
he named "CrOcker Land" lee spoil
ed the party's plans to return last
year and the party has had to stay
in the Arctic all this winter and may
possibly not get out for many months.
Donald Macmillan, leader Of the ex-
peditiOn, wrote back last year that
his party saw the same vast expanse
of valleys and peaks that Peary had
reported but that closer observation
proved it an Arctic mirage. Their
findings have been generally accepted
as proving that "Crocker Land" is a
myth, due to an optical illusion. North
Star Bay, where their ship is frozen
in, is I25 miles south of Etah, ana
after the party had punctured the
story of Crocker Land, it was deter
mined to explore this section of the
country for scientific data.

(Assoctated Press by Federal Wirelessl
LONDON, May GA food shortage
of alarming proportions will confront
the United Kingdom unless the farmers
abandon their prejudices against the
employment of woman labor, and bend
all their energies to the increase of
crop production.
This statement, made by Francis

he is "not at all sure that the country
will have the ships to divert"
Danger Point Reached
1.-THE danger point in the enormously
decreased production in this country
has been reached" said the financial
secretary, in outlining the eonditiohs
of the country to the house. "We no
longer can afford to cater to our pre-
judices, but must bend every effort to
meeting these conditions and increas-
ing the crops of foodstuffs, upon which
the country must depend, in part at

the United Kingdom can escape from
famine in one way alone. We will be
forced to divert ships, now so urgently
needed for the transport of munitions
of war to the troops abroad and at
home, to the carrying of provisions we
should be raising in the kingdom"
Mr. Acland then took up the ques.
tion of the shortage Of ships, caused
in part by the German submarine cam.

transports for men and munitions Of
