HONOR CREDITED TO GERMAN
John Peter Zenger First to Uphold the
Liberty of the Press in the
United States.

Fate plays curious tricks with men
and things The man who is given
credit for first upholding the liberty Of
the press in America was a German.
says the Rocky Mountain News. 1t
was Just 1874 years ago that this man,
John Peter Zenger, was brought to
trial for a newspaper libel which re-
suited from newspaper criticisms
passed on British public officials.
Xenger founded the New York
Weekly Journal, the second newspaper
in New York. The paper was publish
ed in the English language, and it
made use of very plain language.
Ienger was arrested on a charge of
libel and thrown into prison. For some
time he edited his paper from behind
the bars, but was at length released
and continued to publish the paper I'M
til his death in 1T46.
"he prosecution Of Zenger for libel
was the first case of the kind on this
side of the Atlantic. and aroused great
public excitement. When Zenger re
ceived acquittal it was considered
great victory for the principles of free
speech and a free press.

Proceeding to the north and north
west from Prince Patrick island, Stef-
anssOn discovered his first new land
on June 10, 1915, in. rs degrees north
! latitude and la degrees west longi-
tude. He surveyed this new territory
to the eastward for 100 miles, and
from observations made at a height
of 1000 feet estimated at that time
that the newly discovered territory
extended for at least $50 miles. 1t ap-
parently touches the periphery of the
area marked unknown.
The party returned to a base camp
at Cape Kellett on Banks Land and,
after having communicated it's discov-
cry to the outside world, prepared to
push it's explorations further into the
unknown realms of the North.
More land was discovered, according
to the latest advices, in June of the
following year in approximately so de-
grees north latitude and 102 degrees
| west longitude. In August of the same
wear additional land was seen in ap-
proximately latitude II degrees north
and III degrees west longitude. These
| figures are only approximate and do
! not take into account the outline Of
the lands as they are likely soon to be
set forth in the official records of the
Canadian government.
That there is a large land mass or
a conglomeratiOn of many islands in
the unmapped regions which have been
the objective of Mr.. Stefansson all
these years there can be little doubt.
If there were not solid and well an
chored terra firma in those regions the
scientists believe that the enormous

unfulfilled vision of the mighty North.
This much, of course, StefansSon
knew before he started on his own
quest as a cOnquistadOr of the pole.
1t was his belief that one day he
would not only set foot on the Crocker
Land which Rear Admiral Peary be-
lieved he had seen, but also find
reaches of territory in what many had
believed to be an impenetrable sea.
He set forth from Teller, Alaska,
on June 81, 1918, with well equipped
expedition in the steamship Karluk,
prepared to do at least three years of
work beyond the Arctic circle. The
Karluk was caught in foes 20 miles
from the mouth of the Colville river.
1t was at this point that StefanSson,
accompanied by five men, landed for
the purpose of hunting caribou and
other game.
The foe in which the Karluk was
embedded was torn from the shore by
a heavy gale in which Stefansson and
his party Of hunters nearly lost their
lives. After hopeless drift of four
months the Karluk was crushed in the
ice off Herald island on January IL,
1914. There had been time to remove
most of the supplies to the ice. The
company of the Karluk which re-
manned was divided into two compa-
MES.
Eleven of the number in all lost
their lives. The others succeeded in
reaching Herald island and also
Wrangell island. Capt. Robert A.
Bartlett, of Peary North pole fame,
accompanied by an Eskimo, made
dash to the mainland and the follow
ing September brought the King and
Winge to the rescue.
Stefansson, unaware of the tragedy
in his wake, proceeded on his way
after he had learned that the Karluk
had drifted beyond his reach. The
north from Martins Point demon
strated his self-confidence and hardi-
hood. With two companions, Storken-
sen and Ole Andersen, he pressed on
! to try his fate with the foes. The en-
| tire resources of the party consisted
of one sled and dog team with which
they were conveying 1900 pounds of
supplies and baggage. two rifles and
| 300 rounds of ammunition.
Stefansson literally put his theory
of life to the proof, for he and his fol-
lowers became Eskimo, dressed as
such and subsisted for the most part
on the meats which make that race so
| rotund and oily. Other explorers, ac-

stance, the armadillO. According to
the San Antonio Light, the first wagon
load of armadillos arrived on last Sat-
urday at the Texan city and was imme-
diately sold to ultimate consumers who
found the meat of the armadillo, which

place where the drift of the Jeanette
began, and this vessel in turn sank
not far from the beginning point of
the Fram's long voyage In the grip Of
the foe.
"All drifted toward the west, but
the Fran made more to the north
than the others did. These certified
| tracts block a vast area capable of
holding a continent the size of Green
land or extensive archipelagoes.
Contrary to some published reports,
the new land north of Siberia found
by Commander Wilkitzky of the Rus
sian navy cannot possibly be part of
this supposed land mass. The Fran

| (NichOlas II Land) and the pole,

| sOundings. The De Long islands, near
/ which the Jeanette sank, and the i'll
defined mass of Bennett Land, may
mark the extreme extension toward
the west of the supposed land of the
Arctic ocean"
! AS the work of exploration carried
on by Mr.. Stefansson is official in
character, there is every reason to be-
lieve that after the close of the Euro
pean war Canada will devote extern
sive resources to further exploration
| based on what he has already ascer-
| tanned.
Although the Ignite deposits which
Stefansson reports finding are not
| considered of commercial importance
at present, it may be that the re-
searches of the explorer will open up a
new region for development. His me-
neurological and tidal observations are
bound to be of great service to navi-
gators.
The chronological investigations
which Stefansson's ready SympathieS
| and keen insight into life have enabled
him to make are likely to prove of
exceptional value to science. He was
the first to grasp the spiritual ideas
! and concepts of the Eskimos and to
explain their peculiar beliefs concern
| ing the migration of souls.
Taken all in all, if Vilhjalmur Stef-
ansson returns to civilization in the
spring of 1918, as he planned to do,
he will have a mass of important in
formation of all kinds to cOllate and
arrange, of which the geographical re-
suits will form an important part, as
they may well lead to the lifting of the
veil of time from the secrets of an ice
