also condemned by the war books as

That gave Marshal Joffre the chance

for which he was prepared. He
ordered Foch. who commanded the
French center, to strike. Foch did
so. He pressed the charge. For q

Amundsen,s Welcome Home.

The city Of Oslo Is welcoming
Amundsen today and greeting him az
a distinguished explorer Of the ends
OF the earth. Considering Anundsen's
achievement In reaching the South
Pole, passing from the Atlantic to the
Pacific by the Northwest Passage and
sailing in an airship from Europe t.
America across the North Pole, It Il
fair to give him the distinction Of be-
ing the greatest and the most success

persons think Of him as an old man

born at Borge. Norway. July 16, 1872,
He has been q sea traveller since 1893,
when, after studying medicine two
years at the University Of Christiania,
now Oslo. he entered the Norwegian
navy. His name has been associated
with polar exploration since 1897. when
he was first officer Of the Belgica, the
ship Of the Belgian South Polar ex,
petition. which carried on from 1891
to 1899.
In 1901 he made scientific studies of
the sea or the northeast coast Of
Greenland In his ship Gjoa, which
ship has an eminent place in Arctic
history. In 1908 he was making mag
netic surveys southeast Of King WI
liam Land with the idea Of discover.
ing the magnetic pole, and his conclu.
sion was that that pole is not a fixed
but a shifting point. It was during
the magnetic pole studies that hs
made the transit from the Atlantic tc
the Pacific through the Northwest
Passage. In 1909 he was. In the North
in the Fran, for the purpose Of drift
ing over the Pole. but that plan was
abandoned, because Peary had reached
the Pole and Amundsen was short 81
