Donald Il. Macmillan, who left New
York city July 2. 1913. and passed -four
years among the perlous unmappcd re-
gions within 600 miles OF the north pole.
returned home yesterday afternoon.
He brought to the American Museum
OF Natural History. under whose auspices
his expedition was undertaken, informa-
tion which will rechart hundreds Of miles
Of Arctic coast lines and eliminate from
the map of the world that mythical con
tinent. Crocker Land. In addition he has
collection from the far north which for
ies chronological. geological, botanical
and geological value rivals any ever
gathered at ore time.

Mr. Macmillan would not say whether
he would accept an offer to return north
via the air route. He has no definite
plans. At present he will remain in New
York to superintend the work Of unpack-
ing and arranging the exhibit of speci-
mems which will be made at the Ameri-
can museum.
Four years of accomplishment by the
Macmillan expedition brought important
discoveries in every field of the natural
sciences. Here are some figures of the
work done by seven white men and a
few Eskimo aids: They travelled 10000
miles with sleds. renapped $50 miles Of
coast line of Ellesmere Land. discovered
two new islands. and found that three
supposed islands do not exist, found
many records of former explorers. some
dating back sixtyfour years; collected
400 boxes of rare specimens and 1000
Arctic pictures
The meteorological obscrvat tions taken
by the expedition cover TIE longest sim
gle perod over which such data have ever
been obtained In the far north. Addi-
tional evidence was gained of the pres
enceof great bitun,inous coal beds. thus
proying said Mr. Macmillan. that the
region was at one time tropical.

preston of the real will of the Greek
people, so long thwarted by the arbitrary
power of the pro-German King Constan-
tine.
Three times did Venizelos appeal TO
the people on the issue of war against
Germany and three times they support
ed him.
Each time the will of the people was
thwarted by the Royal mandate, thus
proving that Kaiserism may be as eff
ficient in preserving the peace as in
making war,-when it is to its interest
TO do so.
Now. however, Constantine is in exile.
and his son is king in name only. The
real ruler Of the people is Venizelos. the
war premier.
With Venizelos in full control, we may
soon expect to see active fighting in the
Balkans.
Greece. it is estimated, can put an army
of 100000 trained men in the field, which
force, added to the large allied army un-
der General Sarrail at Saonika, is pow
erful enough TO seriously menace the leu
ton communications with Turkey, and
to threaten Bulgaria with invasion.
Under the regime Of Constantine. the
chief obstacle to an Allied advance in the
Balkans was the ever present menace OF
a Greek army controlled by pro-Ger-
man king on the Entente flank. Now
this liability has been turned into an
asset.
But great as may be the military aid
which Greece will render the Allies, the
moral effect Of her entrance into the war
may be of far greater value 10 the cause
of Democracy.
Coming at a time when the German
autocracy is straining every resource to
convince a disillusioned people that VIC
tory for German arms is still possible,
the fact Of the entrance Of a fresh enemy
into the field may well prove more po-
tent than bullets.

It's a Fact-AbOut Fiction

Most people read fiction nowadays
and most people who talk about fiction
at all have the idea there is being poured
out upon us each year flood of fiction.
But, to the surprise of most, if there
ever was flood of fiction it is at ebb
tide-and ebbing strong.
In 1895, 20.3 per cent of books pub
lished was fiction. Last years figures
show only 891 per cent fiction.
This gives rise to interesting ques-
tons. Are we becoming more "intellec-
tual"? Are we getting to be more "sol-
id" and matterof- fact? Don't the thrill
ers get" us as they used to?
Anyway, a growing percentage OF
books deal with sober serious fact, and
the good old heart-throb plot that thick
ems is on the wane.
II is interesting to note that the de-
cline has been gradual since 1895-and so
il can't be laid to the war, as most every
thing else is.

We've Got His Number

In a recent article of the above title
there was a miSprint. 1t was stated that
the Emperor Williams age was fifty
years and six months, as he was born
in January, 1859. 1t will be seen that
this correction will make the calculations
correct.
A number of correspondents send me
the following curious note also:
The word kaiser contains six letters.
Append the number 6 10 the alphabetical
number of each letter in the word, add
them up, and the total is 666. As fol-
lows:
K is the eleventh letter in the alpha
bet join to it and it makes 116; A is
the first letter in the alphabet, with it
makes 10; in like manner | would be rep
resented by SO, S by 1876, E by SO, r by
1856. These all added together make 666.

prophecy point US therefore TO verse Is,

The Price of Liberty
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The price of liberty, as quoted, is eter-
nal vigilance. II is more; it is universal
vigilance. Nobody can be free unless
everybody is free.
Which point | wish TO sharpen and
hammer in.
The trouble with most peoples notion
is that it is too individual.
When each person does as he pleases,
has no law but his own will. there re-
suits such a clash and confusion that in
the end the only one who gets any liberty
is the strongest. In carrying out his
The only possible way for the many
to get liberty is for them to unite so as
to compel the substitution of justice and
the general good for the will of the
strongest.
This is the reason why the world Is
now at war with Germany. 1t is because
German liberty means liberty for nobody
else-Belgium, for instance.
II is also the reason why the United
States is in the war. Some simple-mind-
ed ones ask why we over here cannot go
along minding our own business and
keep out of the European imbroglio The
answer is that there would not be liberty
in this country very long if there were
liberty nowhere else in the world.
German policy had already begun to
cause the sinking of our unarmed ships
upon the high seas.
1t also explains conscription, why con-
between the ages of twenty-one and
thirty-one to take up arms.
At first blush this seems wanton, ar
bitrary interference with individual
rights, compelling by force even ultra
pacifists and German sympathizers and
anarchists to be soldiers when they
thought soldering in this instance or SOL
diering in general TO be wrong. But
little reflection will convince one that If
there's to be freedom for all every one
must cooperate to secure it.
This also shows why democracy can
be successful only when every individ-
ual in it discharges his public duties.
Any group of non-voting persons in
democracy is a menace.
All women should have full civic
rights, because women being disfran-
chised accept the protection yet avoid the
responsibilities of government. Women
should vote, not because some want to,
but because all ought to.
Slavery is a danger to any nation, be-
cause it makes a politically non-active
group of inhabitants.
Any group or class, for whatever rea-
son, that does not participate in public
responsibilities is angerous-including
slaves women, the idle rich, the high
brows who despise politics, and the anar-
chists who don't believe in government.
And the same principle holds true Of
the world. The world will never be "safe
for democracy" until the last autocratic
government is removed.
Liberty is boat we're all in. A leak
anywhere will sink it.

sentation in government.
They did wrong, the Washington Judge
found, in picketing the White House-in
seeking to get close to the president OF
their country to call attention to their
cause.
If party leader in Kansas deems 1t to
the interest of the party organization
that certain party faithful be given the
postoffice or some other federal job, he
Is at liberty to write the president and
call the presidents attention to his can
didate.
That is form of picketing that has
never landed party leader in jail.
If the candidate for federal position
has sufficient pull with the congressman
from his district, he gets the congress
man to 90 over to the White House and
SEE the president about the job, thereby
demonstrating to the president how ne
stands with the congressman.
No congressman or candidate for job
was ever put in jan for that kind of
picketing.
If the opposition press desires to let
the president of the United States know
that he has offended the opposition party
by crushing one of its ideals, it says so
very plainly on its editorial page and the
editorial page is sent into the White
House
But no newspaper publisher was ever
thrown into jail for that kind of picket
ing in behalf of its party's cause.
There are lobbyists in Washington
right now working against the food bill,
endeavoring to take the common neces-
sites from the mouths of working men
and WOMEN, but none of them has gone
to Jail for that form of picketing.
There are lobbyists in Washington
right now working to save beer and wine
from the prohibition measure.
These lobbyists are the enemies Of
every WOMAN in the country, but none
of them has been cast into jail dungeon
for THAT kind of picketing
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES HAS LEFT THE WHITE
HOUSE AND GONE OVER TO THE
CAPITAL TO EMPHASIZE SOME OF
HIS OWN DEMANDS, TIMES WITH
OUT NUMBER, AND HE HAS NEVER
BEEN PUT INTO JAIL FOR PICKET
ING.
But we hear the women suffragists in
Washington have resorted TO disorder
and that they have broken the law.
This they have done if carrying ban
ners quoting the Declaration of Indepen-
dence is disorderly and against the law.
However, what else has their govern
ment left them to do?
Has 1t not denied TO them the
ORDERLY manner in which MEN may
register their protests in government?
Has not their government-theirp pres
ident-denied them the vote that is
mans privilege and privilege that saves
him the necessity of going to Jail for
HIS convictions and the principles he
stands for?
Our government wants the sons Of
mothers to go to war and fight for
democracy, which is all right and which
mothers concede to be all right by CIV
ing their sons cheerfully to the flag.
But our mothers demand, for them
selves, the right of franchise and MEN
