Bound for London on a mission
which includes both business for the
Australian government, and comforting
with other scientists in Great Britain
on the scientific results OF the 1911
1914 expedition which he led into the
Antarctic to explore unknown parts of
that region and map its coast line,
Sir Douglas Mawson, one of the
worlds sreatest explorers, is through
passenger on the Oceanic liner Ven
tura today.
When informed that the Aurora, one
of the ships of the Shaekleton expedi-
tion, had returned to Australia since
the Ventura steamed from Sydney.
Sir Douglas said this does not mean
that Sir Ernest Shackleton has come
back, as his ship Is the Endurance,
and was to head for Buenos Aires,
South America. '1t looks as though
the Endurance and Shackletons are
frozen in for another year, If the ship
hasn't reached Buenos Aires yet, he
said. I
Il am going to LonHsn on business
partly connected with the war, and
partly scientific" he added. Il will
be chiefly busy there on the scientific
results of my Australian expedition,
from 1911 to 1914, in which we sue
ceeded in mapping in 1000 miles of
new coast line in the Antarctic region.
There are now 80 specialists at work
on the data collected by this expedi-
tion, and the results will be printed
in Is quarto volumes. Six Of the sci
entists who are specializing on the ex-
petitions results are Americans. They
are all contributing toward the vol
umes."
Riots Caused by Liquor.
Sir Douglas said, concerning the re-
cent riots of soldiers in and near Sgd
ney. that they resulted directly be-
cause saloons and liquor-selling hotels
had been kept open until IL o'clock at
night. The rioting, which was only
the work of one day, has resulted in
closing all these places at o'clock
every evening" he stated. There
has been no trouble whatever since
the early closing hours went into ef-
feet"

The sugar situation has become mud

lieye sugar should be placed on the

problem must be threshed out In the
senate and mulled over in conferences
before a solution Of the problem Il

Whatever the final net outcome

It surely Is safe prediction that gov

Why Change Was Made.
Here is an explanation Of the causes
leading up the the muddIe:
When the sugar repeal bin was un-

Simmons and other Democratic lead
ers took the subject up They tenta-
lively agreed that in order to provide
for the extraordinary expenses incur

Other Senator's Object.
When news Of this contemplated
action became noised abroad several
senators pounced on the finance com
mittee and declared they would not
approve that course. They went fur

conditional repeal They desired &
