POLAR BEAR ARRIVES IN NOME IN BATTERED CONDITION BUT CREW ALL SAFE.

From nine o'clock Tuesday eve ming, until the sailing of the Prince SoOhia last night Skagway has had the honor of having as visitor the ,tInguished Arctic explorer, Yihjalmur StefansSon,
 For more than six years MT. Stetansson,, with his little band of hardy associates, have been making scientific exploration, research, and other work of a similar nature in that vast unknown region lying north of the American continent in what Is commonly termed the Arctic ocean.
 In the summer of 1912 Stefans- son connected at Nome with the schooner Karluk, and began his journey through the uncharted wat errs os the North Boring Sea dis trict and on into the Arctic. Some years were spent in charting islands, taking observations, making data of climatic conditions, when the little ship Karluk met with disas- tsr and StefansSon with his crew Were forced to abandon their shiu.
 It was then that the Polar Bear was raard from, which was engaged in an Arctic expedition of simi- lar nature to the one in which Stef- aasson was engaged, and as it had been decided to abandon the form s-, Stefansson negotiated for the purchase of the Polar Bear, which is 8 sailing schooner of about AS tons Durthen equipped with auxil- iary gasoline engine power.
 With his new ship MT. Stefansson resumed his voyage, and after al most three years work in the far Arctic north, landed at Herschel Is land, off the mouth of the Mcken- zie river late last fall, after it was too late to get back to Nome.
 The remainder of the story of MT Stefansson's illness at the R. IN. W. M. Police station at Fort Mckenzie was printed in a recent issue, and his trip out after he was convalescent as printed in the Daily Alaskan is also fresh in the minds ol the people of Skagway.
 Arriving at Summit, MT. stefans- son decided to mush in over the old White Pass trail and this he ac- comrlished Tuesday, arriving here only three hours after the train s arrival. He stopped at the Pullen hotel, and few knew of his arriV- al here until late yeterday after noon '.l. An effort was made to induce him

to speak hero for the benefit Of the Red Cross, but in answer to the tele- gram sent him at Bennett, he had made reply tha he would arrive here too late to do so. He understood that he would sail for the south early Wednesday evening.
 When this subject was mention ed to nim, MT. Stefansson stated that he would have been pleased to hova given a little talk for the Ref Cross had he been approach ed after he learned that he would have an evening open here. He s lted that MT. Cecil Cole had call ed bim up on the phone, but had mads no further request for his serN ices when he had stated to MT. Cole that he was under contract to Iecture for the Red Cross beginning his lecture tour at New York, and and he did not wish to press the matter.
 Tuesday" said MT. Stefansson, 'I received telegram from Nome advising me that the Polar Bear had arrived at that port, but that she had sustained considerable dam age by being caught in an ice floe' which crushed her hull quite badly.
 q do not know when I will re- sume my exploration, as l feel that I am now getting on in years, anr this task is the work of a younger man, who might be more physically fit to cope with the hardships and dangers incident to the undertaking.
 "It will require at least two years to reduce the data l have se- cured to a report which l shall have to make to the Dominion Naval de partment at Ottawa and I am now under contract to lecture for the benefit of the National Red Cross, all amounts received in excess of actual expenses going to the asso- ciation.
 q am rapidly regaining my health. and I was surprised to find that I could make the mush into Skagway from the Summit in such g short time. It certainly was a fine walk, and the scenery along the way is most wonderful, and com pares with any mountain scenery that I think l have ever seen.'
 Mir. Stefansson sailed south on the Sophia. .....

Barrie, by the way, must have been
unusually industrious of late, for yet
another little war play OF his fashion
ing ia announced as part of tho con-
tents Of new periodical whose list OF
contributors is calculated to make
every magazine editor in tho world
turn green with envy. This periodical
Is HI official one, a quarterly, pub
]ished by the British Ministry Of Pen
sions, and hitherto named "Rccalled to
Life" for the reason that it Is de-
voted to the problems and welfare Of
the disabled soldier. Up to now it has
been edited by Lord Charnwood, who
Is we'll known to Americans by reason
Of his Life of Abraham Lincoln" but
In its altered form it will be called
"Reveille" and will be under tho cdi-
torship Of John Galsworthy
TO return to Sir James Barrie. He
has consented at last to publish his
famous plays in volume form, boon
for which his admirers on both sides Of
the water have been praying for many
years, and we shall soon be able to
add what Every Woman Knows" "The
Admirable Crichton," EQUALITY Street"
and all the rest to our libraries. Tho
first mentioned play has already been
issued, and the first line in the "Stage
Directions for the First Act" reminds
one of a story. It is quite an old
story, so old that many readers may
not have heard it.
The line is this: Games Wylie is
about to make a move on the dambrod
and in the little Scotch room there is
an awful silence, betting the occasion"
Now, dambrod is good Scots for
draught-board, and the term is used
as we use "check" for a pattern that
is like the design of a chessboard.
Thus, a dambrod pattern means a pat
tern of squares.

A Ne1u Barrie Plav

LONDON, Aug. 3o.-~Thcre is another
Barrie treat in store for American
plsygoers. It Will come when SIR
James Barric's newest dramatic work,
which is called "a Well Remembered
Voice. IS produced on the other side
of the Atlantic This is not full
sized play. but one act piece, one OF
three BY the author of "The Little MIN
;ster" which were done for tho first
time at London war charity matinee
the other DAY. It is, however. real
dramatic gem, which will appeal TO
every one, and most of all to fathers
and mothers who have lost sons IN the
war. to whom it will bring a message
of inspiration and good cheer Lon
don's dramatic critics arc unanimous
in declaring it to be the best thing
that Barrie has done since the war pc
gan, not even excepting Dear hrutus,
the fantastic comedy which has passed
its Booth performance AT Nyndham 5,
and "The Old Lady Shows Her Med
ais" another wartime playlet which
has been produced in the United States.
Barrie's own description Of his new
est little piece is "a mystery In
spite Of this there is none of the au-
thor's characteristic elusiveness In IT'S
composition. 1t neither tantalizes nor
rrovokes. 1t tells a straightforward
story straightforwardly and it gripped
the blas6 matinee audience who wit
messed it few afternoons ago.
"The Well Remembered Voice. IN
this playlet is that of an artists soldier
son. Speaking to him out of the Great
Beyond. The artist, Mr. Don, was
played by Sir Johnston Forbes Robert
eonson. The voice" which he and the
audience heard was that of Gerald du
Maurier, who. by the way joined the
army himself few days after the pro-
duction Of the new piece. The artist
in the play listened to his sons voice
and was moved by it to deep emotion,
relieved by the laughter which Barrie
more than perhaps any other dramatlst
Of our day has the faculty of blending
artisticaily with tears.

at parting. "l shall get good mark
for it. Remember. father, it's not
goodby."
SO the curtain fell on this poem Of a
play-thc father relighting his pipe
gripping it in his teeth, and resolving
to keep bright"
or course, a play as fine as this
little piece will soon be given regus
lar production. Every father bereaved
by the war should see it, and, like the
artist Don, be encouraged thereby to
keep bright" That is the war mes
sage of Sir James Barrie, who himself
has been sadly bereaved by the war
to his fellow men. The other two play
lets from the Scottish dramatist's pen
which were presented in the same bill
were only less enjoyable than "a Well
Remembered Voice" One of them

fair" is light-hearted trit1e showing
how two escaped cockney soldiers

the owners wedding night, and, on dis

Who's Who in
Current Plays

1t 10 no exaggeration to say that
there have never been more inquiries
made as to just who person is than
have been made the last few days re-
garding Margaret Lawrence, who gives
so charming portrayal of the wife in
Roi Cooper Megrue's new comedy, "Tca
for Three" at Maxine Elliott's Theatre.
Miss Lawrence scored so emphatic a
personal hit in the play that the in
terest and polite curiosity are not to
be wondered at.
As a matter of fact, while theatre
Goers were saying: "Ah, at last new
facet" she is not a newcomer to Broad
way at all. She has just been away
for while--that is all.
Theatregoers, had they only stopped
to think, would have had no trouble in
recalling that seven years ago they
were almost, if not quite, as enthusi-
astc over the performance of young
lady by the name Of Margaret Law
renee, playing the leading role in cover
Night" comedy by Philip Haw-
thorne. Then, il they had put two and
two together, they would have instant
ly identified their present-day favor
ite with the favorite Of former seasons.
Miss Lawrence resigned from her
part in "Over Night" while the play
was enjoying a long and extremely sue
cessful engagement at Chicago. She
came East and was married to Orson
D. Mum, then one of the editors of
1.-THE Scientific American" and at pres
emit lieutenant commander in the United
States navy.
