Into the White Darkness.

XVJHITE vastnesses of the Arctic ever will fas-
w cinate mankind. Sublime mystery broods
over the untracked kingdoms of eternal ice. Into
this unknown have gone the hardest voyageurs of
modern history and those who have returned
brought back with them tales of human bravery
that fail to stir souls. 49,.
Consequently a new North Pole expedition
always excites a great deal of interest Capt
ROAD Amundsen's present plans for FIVE years in
this mysterious region. 100000 square miles of
frosted drearness, promise to produce material for
many pages in the history of human adven-
ture. 49,
No man living is better qualified for the task
than the discoverer of the South Pole. The recent
death OF Shacketon leaves Amundsen almost alone
in the list of Arctic explorers whose daring has
been rewarded with accomplishment.
The Norwegian sailor will set out on his vow
age with many advantages which previous explor-
ers have not known. Science has accomplished
much for the comfort of human beings since the
heroic days OF Admiral Peary. Perhaps it is only
fitting, in view of the advantages he has, that
Amundsen has set for himself greater tasks and
more heroic adventures than any of those who have
gone before him.
Capt. Amundsen discussed his plans with
friends in Washington a few weeks ago and the
impression he, left here was that Of throwback
to his Viking anccstors-al the determination, all
the ruggedness all the contempt for the horrors of
the unknown.
OF such stuff was Columbus who sailed on de-
spite his own lurking suspicious that his sb;ns
would drop over the edge of the sea into hell al
most any day. OF such stuff was Magellan, who
kept from the point Columbus left off. or
such stuff all the long line of fur-cowled fig
ures-Hudson Franklin. Kane, Greeley, Peary-
who have adventured in the untrodden, white dark
ness that lies beyond the last frontier.

Spring Is Here-So Pardon the Following.

DUBLIC golf facilities in Washington obviously
ST do not meet the increasing demand.
- Only the Amalgamated Union Of Quack Doc
tors is likely to go record against making the
old game of the heathcrs more accessible to the
general public.
The Potomac Park links were reopened tor the
season hardly week ago. Since that time there
hive been two three days OF ideal golf weather
Othc days have been wet, windy and cold. Yet
! not moment OF daylight has passed without a
motley crowd taxing the capacity of the greens

Golf enthusiasts are bound to become denser

branches of April will make life indoors bitter be-
: ysnd endurance. 1t is hard to imagine how golf
can be played correctly comfortably at Potomac
Park as this crowd increases.
Plenty OF links probably, almost as essen
tial to great city plenty OF hospitals. They
prevent what the others, often, fail to cure.

preliminary summary of the results
of the undertaking.
In the two months that the move
ment has been actively under way
approximately s65O,OOO has been
raised toward the fund of $1,000
900 or more with which the Wood
row Wilson awards are to be en-
dowed. The amount contributed Is
not, however. so significant as the
personnel of the contributors. This
sum represents the contributions OF
great number Of people. While
it is impossible as yet to estimate
accurately the full number of the
subscribers. we know definitely that
more than 100000 have already
taken this means for expressing
their faith in the principles that
Mr.. Wilson upheld.
The movement has risen above
party lines. Many distinguished
Republicans have Joined in this
tribute to Mr.. Wilson's services to
his country. There has been a ma
tional response. contributions hav-
ing come from every State, from
United States possessions. from
Americans abroad. and from citi-
zens OF foreign countries.
We want everyone in the United
States. who believes in its pur-
poses. to have a share in the es-
tablishment of the foundation.
Each contributor to the fund is
known as one of the founders of
the Woodrow wilsn awards and
receives a certificate attesting this
fact.
We believe that this certificate
will have a historic value for its
owner in the years to come and
will be a cherished possession to be
handed down to future generations.
We are anxious. naturally, to
complete the fund so that the foun-
dation can begin TO function ac-
lively as soon as possible. II IL
should happen that the address of
the local representatives Of the
foundation is not known. contribu-
lions may be sent direct to national
headquarters. $50 Nassau street,
New York City. Credit for the sub
scriptions will then be given to the
state in which they originate. !
should like to urge that every per-
son who desires to participate in
the founding of this public institu-
ton do so without delay.

Anent Reparations.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
There was one sound way to deal
with the reparation question or
Germany in the Versailles treaty,
and that was not to exact a repa :.
ration impossible from a new gov
eminent, the German Republic that
denied any guilt or participation
in the war, but exact directly a
reparation adequate to restitute the
destructed areas in France and Re,.
GUM, from the commercial and in
dustrtal concerns and all othe-
well-to-do Germans who helped and
supported the war. Why lay a
reparation on a government, a re-
public that disclaims any responsI-
bllity for the war and whose
treasury is not only empty but in
debt and allow SHINES and the
krupps and other well-to-do Ge--
mans. who We know openly sup
ported the war. to keep all their
capital and do whatever they please
with it,
Would it not have been better
for the allied governments to tax
directly the wealth of the indi-
viduals in Germany proportionateIy
and to such an extent that would
amount to a fair reparation?
IL the separation were collected
directly and proportionateIy to t.Is
capacity, from each individual Ger
man In Germany; IL a Krupp were
made to part for the reparation
with half OF his assets, and SHINES
with half or more OF his assets. and
every other German with a portion
of his according to his capacity,
the question of Germany's COM
mercial competition and dumping
would have been eliminated: the
German people would have known
definitely that they had to pay and
would have probably paid IL with
less ceremony; and on the whole
the German masses would not have
been affected much by the payment
