SHACKLETON WRITES
EPIC OF THE ICE
"South" Tells the Story Of
antarctic Explorers Last
Expedition, I9I4.I7

South is literally the epic of the
SO far as portly bulk Is concerned, and
in rich detail Of vivid and vigorous tell
ing. of Shackleton's final Antarctic
journey, 1914-17. Sir Ernest himself
tells the story with wide knowledge of
his subject, profound human sympathy
and a marvellous literary distinction.
!. South" is a book for those in whose
hearts romance still vibrates, whose
imagination is lighted by the glow Of
adventure on land and sea, OF venturing
spirits, much tossed and tried. OF the
conquerors of desperate circumstances,
winning through steadiness OF courage
and greatness of soul. The world, even
in the commonplaces of life, has always
had many whose heartbeats are high
and whose emotions surge in spirit II
not in fact, with the daring heroes OF
all time devoted to the quest OF an
ideal. These will find grent deeds and
noble telling in Sir Ernest's story, in
which he puts into graphic words the
indomitable ideals and persistent
searching for lost or unknown places
which have inspired explorers ever. lie
has translated a glory of the past into
an imperishable record for the future
to inspire men to the big courage and
the mans job well done, whatever 1t
may be, even though the poles are dis
covered
Amundsen actually discovered the
south pole. the north pole having ear
lier succumbed to the prowess OF the
Scandinavian. by mere margin or
days, beat the British expedition under
Scott to the coveted goal. This left,
as Shackleton' says. only one great OBJ
jective for antarctic cxploration---the
crossing of the south polar continent
from sea to sea. He undertook this
jou-ney. The story of the trip and its
failure is given in South" He says

The party was immured for nearly two
years in the Businesses of the polar ice,
in its endeavOr to achieve its object,
and all that time ignorant in the ter
rors of the white warfare of the red
horrors of the world war.
Sir Ernest was we'll qualified for the
post of commanding officer of the expe

tional Antarctic Expedition of 1901 aud
commanded the British Antarctic ex
pedition of 10000. which reached
within ninety seven miles of the south
pole.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Prcsidens
Wilson remained silent to-day on the
crushing defeat administered to the
Democratic party, AMI the reputation
Ct the Wilson League of Nations by
American voters yesterday.
The Executive made no statement
either to his personal physician, Dr..

indicate the extent to which his emo

White House officials were unable to
say whether the President contem-
rl"ted sending message of congratu-
lation to Senator Harding, or of re-
Gret to Governor Cox, the defeated
candidate. They did not expect him
to have any comment to make on the
election at this time.
