BRITISH FIGHT
DESPERATELY IN

south of La Bassee, now crowded

says, has been concentrated and Sc

won by scores of fine individual deeds
and has given the British several Ger

the war have seen othing comparable

is on amphittheatre, beautifully sur
rounded and covering perhaps half an
acre. When the mine was exploded
on March 2, observers saw a thing
like a great black mushroom rise from
the ground. Beneath it, appeared with
the ponderous momentum of these big
upheavals a white growth like the
gills of a mushroom. 1t was the chalk
subsoiI following in the wake Of the
black loan. With this black and
white upheaval went up heaven knows

rest of the debris, and the explosion
sent up many graves as well as the
bodies of those just killed

conducted in snow and slush and ter

the craters almost impossible.

even asked one of the Eskimos toward
which point we should head. He
smiled and said he thought it was
if he ever saw land that was land! The
only reason I had for doubling it's ex-
istence was it's size.
'.As we proceeded it gradually
changed in appearance and extent
with the revolving of the sun, and
ing later on the heights of the cape
where Peary stood eight years before,
we saw the same thing, and had we
not been out there we could have ia
ken our oath that it was land. Our
best judgment then, as now, is that
this is mirage of the sea-ice, due to
layers of air at unequal temperatures
lifting the inequalities of the ice,
causing spots to resemble land. AT
one time this resemblance extended
practically throughout the whole no.
rizon, crossing Peary's trail of 1908,
and even joining the northern shores
of Grant Land. In other words, it
appeared where we know positively
there is land.
ST believe, for several reasons, that
there is land farther to the west. We
have removed it at least two hundred
miles. If Peary saw it from Cape
Thomas Hubbard, then it's SUBMITS

one hundred and ffty-two miles off,
those same peaks would have risen in
the sky to a height of 5000 feet
too big for US to miss unless we were
totally blind.
1--WE covered about twelve hundred
miles in all in seVenty-two days, 1eaV-
ing on March IL and getting home on
May Fl, few days before the sound
broke up. Since that time we have
been very busy killing walrus for our
dogs this winter and laying in meat
and eggs for ourselves Within a
trip to sledge the mail out to civiliza-
ton, going to Upernavik, South
Greenland. About March L we start
again for E11esmere Land, on a long
ffteen-hundred-mile journey, into a
section of the country where no man
has been for fifty years and a large
part of which is unexp1ored-south OF
EIlef and Anund Ringnes lands. Shall
be compelled to depend entirely up
on the country for our return, as L
want to come back by way of Jones
Sound.
with such a plan, sledges will nee
essari1y be very heavy at the start,
and will remain SO for some time, as
no caches can be made. AS far as I
know, this will be the longest straight
away trip on record, and must be
made within ninety days, we shall
not get back in time to recross Smith
Sound. If not back by the time the
ship gets here in July, she can come
over and pick US up somewhere on
that shore.

Macmillan. leader of the Croker
Land Expedition, to Col. H. D. Borup,
U. S. A, retired, father Of the late
George Borup, who was to have led
the expedition, recites the discovery
that Croker Land, as Peary thought
he saw it, does not exist, and that
the expedition is equipped with food
to last until August. 1915-seven
months ago. Mr.. Macmillan added
that, if the re1ief-ship CIuet{ failed
to reach them by that time, the par
ty would be compelled to live as do
recent advicess according to the
American Museum Journal, which
publishes Mr.. MacMi1lan's letter, say
that the Cluett failed to reach Etah
last summer. She only got as far as
North Star Bay, '125 miles south A
motor boat was sent to try and make
it's way through the thickening ice,
and if that failed, it was intended to
attempt to send sledges to Etah to
bring back Macmillan and his men.
The Cluett, normally a sailing YES
sci, was equipped with Bridgeport
built motors, which are used to force
her through the ice foes of the far
north. While she lay in the local
harbor, the C1uett was the object of
much interest.
MacMilIan's letter describes in de-
tail the discovery that Croker Land
was only an ice-mirage, and appa-
rent1y adds some details to reports al
ready published. He says:
From the newspapers you have
already learned of the results of our
first years work-a failure to find
Croker Land where Peary claimed
to have seen it and where indicates

held up twice by open water for
Sew hours only.
Between the leads, of which there
were thirty-four in all, we found ex-

rolling surface, enabling US to cover
twenty-six, twenty-four, eighteen and
twenty-four miles, respectively in the
last four marches. At the last comp

most powerful glass, there was not a

we had it. All leads had frozen, the

the horizon as clear crystal.

BANKERS DROP IN
To ADMIRE CHECK
FOR $43,5OO,OOO
Scrap of Paper Representing
Colossal Fortune is Part of
Midvale Operation.

New York, March 17.-Men in the
downtown financial district years ago
went out of their way to go to a bank
to see a check for 100000 and gaze in
wonder at the bit Of paper which had
such a. value. Later they became ac-
customed to hearing of many $10O, 900
checks, and then of $4,000, 900 and &c.,
600 900 checks, and came to consider
these paper fortunes a mater of bus
inesss routine. These men recalled
their old practice today, however,
when they learned hat the largest
check but two that has ever been paid
in the United States had passed
through the New York Clearing House
and been paid by the Mechanics &
Metals National Bank. A number of
them called at the office of the bank,
to ask the privilege of seeing or touch
ing a little piece of paper which called
for the payment of %43, 538, bill, and
which, were it's purpose not already
determined, might. readily have been
devoted to the purchase of a stable
mercantile marine fleet.
The check was drawn by Lee, Hig
ginson & Company to the order of the
Guaranty Trust Company, and was
part of an operation involving the
payment of $4,000 600 for the issue of
Nfidva1e steel convertible i've per cent.
bonds recently sold to New York
banking syndicate.
So far as could be learned, there
have been only four other checks
drawn, in the whole history of Amer
lean finance, for amounts approach
ing that represented in the mornings
$43, SOC, 600 check on the Mechanics &
Metals Bank. The record was a
check for 1852, e75, 900 in connection with
a Pennsylvania, railroad bond sale.
Early last year $49, 900, 900 was paid to
the Pennsylvania railroad in a single
check, also as the result of a bond is
sue. In May, 1904 Leslie M. Shaw,
then secretary of the Treasury of the
United States, came to New York from
Washington with a check for $4,000
900 to pay the French syndicate in the
Panama Canal purchase. In the same
year, a check for $40, 0o0, 900 was turned
over to- the Mexican government in
connection with a purchase of Mex
lean bonds.
the largest drawn, in the recollection
of bankers, was for SIS, OO0, 900, in con-
nection with the purchase by the Lake
Shore railroad of Reading stock.

esting incident in American financial

tBy the international News servtce.)
New York, Oct. 1S.-Twelve vessels that
reached port today reported no signs OF
the U-53 nor of the flotilla Of British
merchantmen that left port last night.
Some of the British cruiser squadron and
some Of the United States destroyers were
sighted In the vicinity of Nantucket by
Capt. Linderoos, Of the Russian steam
ship Hfsperus, in from Huelva, Spain.
The absence OF wireless reports from
the fleet Of munition carriers and the
fact that none of the incoming steamers
sighted them was accepted as a good
ausury iR shipping circles. 1t was pointed
out that this confirms earlier reports that
the vessels were conveyed to sea by the
cruiser squadron and then instructed to
follow a secret course plotted for them
oy Admiral Montagu Browning in COM
mand Of the British naval and merchant
shipping on the Atlantic Seaboard.
NO word Is expected from any of them
now until their arrival at their ports Of
destination. The fact that no news was
received from the Adriatic had a stimu-
lating effect on the maritime exchange
and underwriters dropped their rates con-
siderably.

six of the steamers that left last night
carried even more ammunition than at
