are safe and well, none died during their
four year isolation in the frozen north,
and two of the explorers are already en-
route to civilization, after 1900 mile
dog sledge trip across an icy desert.
This was revealed today in cablegram
to the American Museum of Natural
History, which backed the enterprise
The cablegram was from DR.. Har-
rison J., Hunt, surgeon of the party.
He sent it from Thorshaven, in the Fa-
roe Islands, where he has arrived on
the steamer Hansegede, on his way to
Copenhagen.
The message said:
MACMILLAN, Conner, Small, Hovey at
Etah. Steamer Denmark in North Star
bay. Ekblaw at Godhaven.'
Tcrse as it was, the cablegram gave
those in touch with the expedition an
inkling of the story behind it, bringing
to civilization another romance of the
north, tale of three years hardships
and suffering.
Etah, whore most of the party re-
mains, Is the northernma3t headquar-
ters Of the expedition. The steamer Dam
mark, reported at North Star bay, IS
$50 miles south of Etah, but within
easy sledging distance. Tho Danmark
was the last relief ship dispatched to
aid the lost explorers. II carried a
years provisions, which have probably
] been sledged to Eteh, thus relieving the
! hunger Of the men who have just emerg-
ed from the long Arctic night.

At Thors Haven he sent his MESSAGE

Museum officials here believe Hunt
should be in Copenhagen in few days

Rome, May 29.-The southern wing
of the Austrian line was being slowly
turned today under the tremendous
leverage of General Cadorna's full
force of arms, exerted westward on
the Hermada plateau north of Duino.
Duino itself, bounded on one side by
the Gulf Of Trieste, is now sur
rounded on two other sides by the
Italian troops and all but detached
from the Austrian hold. The italian
fighting line is within sight of the

Admiral Caperton Expected
to Patrol the South
Atlantic Waters
Fast Cruisers Are
Under His Command
American to Outrank AL
Naval Officers Of Allies
in District He Covers

Washington, June 23.-An American
fleet has arrived in Brazilian waters.
This became known to-day, when
Gispatch from Rio de Janeiro told OF
the reception accorded to Admiral
Caperton. The message indicates that
the American navy has now taken over
the responsibility for the patrol OF
that region against German subma-
rines and raiders.
While navy officials would not dis
close the identity or number of YES
sells in Admiral Caperton's squadron,
i. is assumed that they include the
cruisers of the Pacific feet, giving the
American officer swift and powerful
force for whatever opeNtions he may
find necessary.
1t is generally understood that one
Of the first agreements reached with
the British and French governments
provided that the United States navy
should take over patrol work in the
Atlantic waters from Newfoundland to
Brazil. 1t has not been disclosed
whether the patrol operations OF the
American ships extend south Of the;
voint and what arrangements have
been made under which they would be
tased at British naval stations or de-
,o4s in the South Atlantic. Navy ofl.-
cials decline, for military reasons, to
discuss any details of the plans.
The government found it necessary
to alter the existing law, in order to
place Admiral Caperton or an officer
of similar rank in command of the
southern wing Of the patrol line. 1t
is recalled that, come time ago, with
out giving a specific explanation, the
Navy Department secured from Con-
gress authority to remove the restrlc-
ton which allowed only three admirsls
to be appointed, one for the Atlantic
feet, one for the Pacific feet, and one
for the Asiatic fleet.
The law was amended so that the
geographical distribution of the oth-
GERS of this rank was eliminated. II
is now understood that the step was
taken so that Admiral Caperton could
be sent to Southern Atlantic waters.
Caperton's rank as an admiral ard
fleet commander insures his seniority,
end. therefore, his authority over any
Allied craft that may still be engaged
Va patrol work in southern waters.

Russia to Fight
On, Workers Tell
Root in Moscow
Envoy for the First Time
Meets Labor and Army
Representatives

Moscow, June % Delayed The
American Commission, headed by Elihu
Root. to-day for the first time since
its arrival in Russia made the formal
acquaintance of the representatives of
the workmen and soldiers. Confer
ences were held with the Moscow lead
ers Of all the political and industrial
factions commonly grouped under the
term proletariat.
Within a few hours of the arrival of
the commission Mr.. Root had delivered
two stirring addresses, the first to the
associated committees of Moscow and
the second to the Municipal Duma,
which gathered in special session to
greet the Americans.
In both meetings Mr.. Root was warm
ly received, and his repeated declara-
tions that America had faith in Russia's
ability and determination to wage to
the end the war Of democracy against
German militarism brought an imme-
diate response from all the factions
represented to the effect that Russia
would not lay down her arms while
German autocracy or any other obstacle
imperilled the continued existence and
safety of the newlywon freedom of the
Russian people.
Perhaps the most dramatic and sig
nifcant episode Of the day occurred
when a common soldier. who is presi-
dent of the Moscow soldiers deputies
in the Municipal Duma, rose in re-
sponse to Mr.. Roots appeal to Russia
and in ringing tones said they would
do their duty.
In answer to Mr.. Roots declaration
Of confidence in the Russian character
and people and his conclusion that peo-
pie who were willing to sacrifice hun
dreds Of thousands Of men for the En-
peror would be willing 10 make even
greater sacrifices for nationality and
liberty, the soldier said:
"We have had history full of sor-
row, yet we have derived enough
strength out of oppression to gain our
liberty. How much more strength will
we derive from that liberty TO carry
our purpose through to a successful
end"
The soldiers address caused great
applause

Susie's Socks Lose Caste
Briton Tells Soldiers They're
No Good for War

Camp Edge, Sea Girt, y. j.. June %.
Captain Charles Buckleton, Of the
British army, warned the Guardsmen
encamped here to-day TO throw senti-
ment aside for the good of their feet
and 10 refuse to wear socks knit for
them by fond wives, mothers or sweet
hearts.
The regulation army sock. the officer
continued, is the only proper protec-
tion for the feet of a soldier. He also
advised care in the selection Of shoes
and boots for trench work.
Captain Buckleton was one Of the
