Antarctic Explorer Lands in Port

Expedition.

LONDON, June (SO7 a. ny

Antarctic explorer. ha sarrived safely
in Port Stanley. Falkland islands.
The news that Lieutenant Shacke-
ton was safe reached London shortly
after midnight. The message was
from the explorer himself and an
nounced his arrival at Port Stanley.
The message said his ship, the En-
durance, had been crushed" in a
Weddell sea ice floe last October. but
that II drifted until midwinter when
he and his party landed on Elephant
island in the South shetland group.
The explorer left in n small boat with
five men a week later to summon
help, leaving % men behind. All of
them were well, but in situation
which demands the quickest possible
relief.
The mesasge of Lieutenant Shackle-
ton was dated Port Stanley, May 81.

April "a.
The gravest fears had been enter
tanned for the explorers. In the house
of commons yesterday Premier
Asquith said the government had ap-
proved of committee appointed by
the admiralty to give advice regarding
relief expedition.
The fact that the section of the
expedition headed by Lieutenant
Shackleton returned to its virtual
point of departure means that the
expedition failed in its primary object
of crossing the Antarctic continent
from Weddell sea to Ross sea.

"GENIUS" ALMOST AN EPTTHE,T
Misuse OF Word Gives 1t Meaning
That Cripples II.

People of all conditions and convic-
tions love to read Of the vagaries OF
genius--provided those vagaries are
of a sort to bear relating in print. For
most people like to believe that ex-
ceptional creative ability implies a
grotesque personality; and when the
news of the day seems to confirm the
belief, they can nod wisely-they have
found something that they can ex-
plain by formula. SO the wild faced
youth who routed Boston police
station at checkers and boasted OF
having defeated the whole phalanx OF
players at the Psychopathic hospital
will be imm ediately set down as a
genius. There was a weird twinkle
in his eye. the policemen said: and
he could play checkers. Genius is
therefore conceded on the first bal

 PARIS, Jan. 26.-The war office ad- nits that the Germans have again hurled one of their thunderbolts at
 he western lines. This time the Ger. mans are giving the British a wide birth and are sending their charges 'gainst the left wing of tho French forces In the Lille region.
 Preceded by the usual furious can- nonade of the French positions. the Germans moved forward Monday even- Ing and have continued series of terrific attempts to bore their way through the French defense. While withholding all but the scantiest de- tails of the fighting, the war office asserts that the French lines are hold 'ng we'll and the assaults of the enemy are fruitless of results. Afternoon re- ports state that tho fighting is still raging with unsurpassed fury.
