Explorer A11lll11dse,1 is
Found OF, Bel,rit1g Sea
After 2-Year Silence

Nome. Alaska, April 23.-(By the
Associated Press Captain Road
Amundsen, discoverer of the South
Pole, has arrived at Anadir, a trad
ing post of, the Behring Sea. East
ern Siberia, according to a wire
less message from Anadir received
here last night.
(christiania dispatches of March
26, last, reported Captain Amund-
sen had left his ship, the Maude,
with two men ON a new dash for
the North Pole)
Missing 10 Months.
For more than 10 months the
silences of Polar seas have shroud-
ed the vessel that bore Roald
Amundsen and his shipmates in
their North Pole venture.
Amundsen's vessel, the Maude,
took on oil at Dixson island, in the
White sea, about Sept. l, 1918, and
soon after sailed of to the north
east through the Arctic. 1t was the
explorers plan to drive the ship
as far northward as he could, then
to lodge her in the ice and permit
her to be dragged along with the
enormous foes.
There is some uncertainty as to
the exact point reached by Amund-

sen in Siberia. Anadir is not the
name of town. but Of 4 river,
which rises northwest of Kam-
chatka and flows eastward, empty
ing into the Pacific To reach this
river by the sea, he would have
been forced to go through Behrins
Strait, between Siberia and Alaska
Deduction Of Trip.
There is Russian trading posi-
known as Anadyrsk located on the
Anadir river, about 800 miles from
the mouth of the stream, but
Amundsen could not reach it by
vessel, as is understood in reports.
II he should have reached that
town, it seems probable he landed
from his ship on the northern coast
OF the continent and made the trip
southwark by land.
The mouth of the Anadir river ie
about $500 miles east of Dixson is
land, where Amnndsen began his
long Arctic voyage.
Amundsen's purpose was not
primarily to reach the North Pole,
but to make scientific observations,
take surroundings, study the drift
of polar ice and collect importaa ut
data as to oceanic conditions in the
far north.

U.S.. Warships Urged For Mexico
BETTER LABOR
OUTLOOK THAN
SINCE THE WAR
Little Real Radicalism
and Cause of Discon-
tent Being Removed.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
lSnecial to The ArEus.l


Washington, D. c.. April 23.-
Labor conditions throughout the
United States present more hope
full prospect today than they have
since the close of the war. The
number OF major strikes has been
reduced to few. While there are
many minor strikes and while
there is an undercurrent of unrest,
the outlook is distinctly satisfac-
tory to government officials.
There is a difference of opinion
as to what broke the so-called
outlaw" strike on the railroads.
but everybody is agreed that it is
petering ont. Attorney General
Palmer naturally believes the ex-
pose of the radicalism alleged to
be behind the railway strike did
the trick. Others think the quiet
work Of trained conciliators en-
ployed by the government together
with the establishment of the rail
road labor board helped send the
strikers back to work.
Certainly. the evidence gathered
by the folks at the department Of
labor would seem to indicate that
dissatisfaction with the cost Of
living as well as a feeling that the
brotherhood officers were too slow
in pushing the wage demands had
more to do with the strike than
radicalism or even the activity Of
the l. W. W. 1t is admitted At the
department of labor that the I. W.
VS. have made use Of the oppor-
tunity to agitate for the lone big
union" but that in itself has not
yet been declared illegal.
Truuble Within Unions.
Investigation of the causes Of the
railroad strike is proceeding and it
is interesting to find that the in
formation gathered at the depart
meut of labor emphasizes internal
troubles in the railway brother
hoods as we'll as the cost of living.
L is reported for instance that
many of the railroad men have
been dissatisfied with W. G. Lee.
president Of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen, and that the
strike is an attack on his leader
ship. Some representatives would
seem to indicate resentment over
Mr. Lees alleged activity or support

J~AA -
Paris, April %. = Sentence of
three years imprisonment was i'm
posed today upon former Premier
Joseph Caillaux. convicted by the
high court yesterday Of commerce
and correspondence with the en-
emy. The time during which he
was under arrest will be deducted,
however, leaving him but one month
to serve.
The ex-premier was sentenced
also to pay the cost of the trial.
Loses Right to Vote.
One feature Of the penalty which
will be inflicted upon Caillaux will
be loss of his right to vote and
eligibility to hold public Office.
This was decided by the senate, sit
ting as a high court, when it re-
sumed its sessions behind closed
doors at 10:30 O'Clock this morning
to discuss the text of the verdict.
It was agreed that he should not
lose his other civic rights.
"They offered to make me the
most popular corpse in France.
said Mr.. Caillaux to Maitre Moutet
of his counsel. when the attorney
informed him last night Of the YER
dit Of the high court
"Do you think that for q moment
I have entertained the slightest IL.
fusion p Mr.. Caillaux asked his
counsel when the latter condoled
with him over the fear that the
sentence would be one Of banish-
ment.
Unmoved by Sentence.
NJ. Caillaux received the news ol
his conviction stolidly, showing
less temper than at any time since
the trial began. That the contest
is not over and that M. Caillaux's s
friends in the high court are fight
ing to the bitter end was shown
this morning, when after a two
hours session the court failed to
agree on the text Of the verdict to
be read to M. Caillaux, rejecting
the text presented by the investiga-
ton commission Of the senate as
too severe.
Article IS of the military code,
under which NJ. Caillaux was con-
victed, dates back to 1903. and was
aimed especially at French busi-
ness men guilty Of correspondence
with British brokers during the
continental blockade and giving
them stock exchange figures and
other information.
NJ. Caillaux's plans have not been
made public, but it is learned on
good authority that if he is SEN
fenced to banishment for any length
Of time, he will proceed to South
America.
