BRITISH EXTEND
FIELD OF MINES
Hope to Bottle Up More Close
ly Warships Of
Germany.

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 27.-Warning Of
considerable extension of the North Sea
zone designated as dangerous to ship
ping" was received at the State Depart
ment to-day from the American En-
bassy at London. 1t is assumed the
warning means that the British mine
fields are being enlarged. but what ul-
terror significance the step may have is
not known here. The warning put into
the dangerous" zone the following
waters:
Area comprising all the waters except
Netherland and Danish territorial waters
lying to the southwark and eastward OF
line commencing four miles from the
coast Of Jutland in latitude o6 degrees
north, longitude degrees east from
Greenwich and passing through the fol-
lowing positions: Latitude 90 degrees
north. longitude degrees east, latitude
a degrees 45 minutes east. thence TO a
position in latitude 80 degrees 81 min
utes north, longitude degrees east,
seven miles off the coast OF the Neither
lands.
The natural result OF enlarging the
mine field on the lines indicated would be
TO bottle ND more closely the German
warships at Helgoland and to lessen the
possibility of raiders escaping the Gordon
of British vessels and mines and attack
ing the English coast. The state Depart
ment announcement defining ihe terrl-
tory mined was not exactly clear as 10
latitude and longitude, and Department
officials declined to interpret the warn
ing, but apparently the new mine held
would stretch from the territorial waters
of Denmark to near the Netherlands
coast. II maintained this would make

Explorer OFF for Norway to
Witness Launching of His
New Ship.

Capt. Roald Amundsen, discoverer Of
the south pole, sailed for Liverpool yes
terdsy on the American liner Philadel-
pha on his way to Christiania to make
final preparations for his aerial trip to
the north pole. He expects to return to
this country once before making the
flight to purchase the most highly de-
veloped aeroplane for the attempt.
Capt. Amundsen will witness the
launching of his new polar ship at
Christiania. The equipment which he
has been gathering together in this coun-
try will be placed on the ship and the
explorer will then return to the United
states to procure the aeroplane in which
he will make the final dash.
The new polar ship will force its way
through the ice to a position in the
Arctic situated at SO degrees north
latitude. This base Is sixty-nine miles
from the pole. From here the explorer
will fly toward the pole with the ex-
pectation of reaching it In less than
an hour of flight. The aeroplane which
Capt. Amundscn will use will be capa-

hopes. With him in the final flight will

Ideal conditions for flying prevail at
the north pole" Capt. Amundsen said
enthusiastically yesterday. The atmos-
phere Is clear and still. Many people
think of the north pole as extremely
cold. but it is much warmer in the
summer time. seemingly. than it is at
present on the deck of this ship. Only

WILSON VICTORY
SEEN BY HARDEN
Presidents Address Will Live
to Inspire Men, Says Ger
man Writer.

BERLIN tvia London). Jan. 27.--MaXi-
milan Harden, in DIE Zukmnft, devotes
an enthusiastic leader to President VIII
sons speech to the United States Sem
ate. He sees therein striking confirma-
ton of his estimate of the President eX-
pressed months ago in articles on Presi-
dent Wilson, combating what he terms
the erroneous German view. Mr.. Har-
den predicts that January 2S henceforth
will be marked on every calendar as the
date of President Wilson'S peace mes
sage.
President Wilson'S he says was the
first clear voice marking out in well
weighed words the path leading to II
durable peace on earth, and continues
Whether this path be trulden sooner
or later. gladly or timdly or whether
his counsel viii he treated scornfully
and rejected tomorrow we cannot to-
day foretell. But it Is certain that no
storms Of time can ever carry away this
message. 1t will continue to work in
the secret depths of mems souls and
must gradually so increase the numbers
of those longing for Il righteous peace
that in countries with self-reliant peoples
no power can long resist it."
After deplorlnE the chronic German
habit of judging all things American
through the catChwords money trust"
corruption" Monroe Doctrine" "elec-
tionceriug tactics" Mr. Harden says
that the Germans are now changing and
have learned To believe in President
Wilson'S sense Of justice.
He asks whether all lnen of good will
must not regard 1t as gratifying de-
cson of destiny which in this unuttcr-
able crisis made such man the leader
of the mightiest neutral state, and con.
tinusS:
"A man of this type will smile at the
nursery stories about German ven-
geance, German struggle for world
dominion and German yearning for
South America. lie will feel himself
even in the most difficult undertaking
the servant of humanity and will seek
the point where he can combine this
service with that due his own country
"Only one more ambition can still en-
| tice him; namely, to reach the never
clouded submits from which the figures
of the henefactors of humanity il,umine
the history of the world"
Herr Harden concludes: "Here is one
who upon towering height boldly pro
claims his adherence to an idealsn
which il not weak and who has tn.
