of the finest things for man to do is

much more magnificent it was for
Amundsen to perish in the attempt TO
save man he disliked, probably
deSpiSed"
More than any other man. he came
to know the thrill of the vast polar
Solitudes," states the Dallas Journal,
while the San Antonio Express recalls:
"Amundsen had been with Mobile on
the Norge when that dirigible was
piloted from Spitzbergen to Alaska-by
way of the North Pole-in May. 1926.
After the voyage controversy arose
between them, and they were not on
good terms when the Italia was forced
down near SpitZbergen last May. The
disaster to the airShipg which was re-
turning from flight to the North Pole.
removed all diScord from Amundsen'S
mind His only thought was how he
best could help rescue Mobile and the
others marooned on the ice foes"

love heroic men and courageous Deeds"
AYERS the Los Angeles Express, with the
thought that death might we'll have
than the gallant discoverer of the South
Pole
The Manchester Union cannot agree
that the tragedy was an appropriate
last chapter in the explorers story.
There is a disappointment, a bitter
ness, a certain cosmic insult in the
manner of the death of Amundsen,"
says that paper. Technically. there is
no difference between his destruction
by the elements and that of any one
else associated with the tragic incl
dents of the Italia. But it seems alto
gether uniting that this son of the
Vikings, who had roamed the seas from
pole to pole. facing what to others had
been insuperable difficulties. should be
suddenly swept into oblivion in the gap
between Norway and the SpitZbergen
Islands. Like the leader of the Light
Brigade at Balaklava, who was killed
by fall from his horse while on a
morning ride along the smooth, hedge
lined roads of England, this veteran of
hundred Arctic storms met his death
almost off his own shore"
His death, to the Akron Beacon
Journal, emphasizes anew the tragedy
that has stalked the rather vainglorious
excursion of Gen. Mobile to the Pole.
The fatalities in rescue parties was
greater than that of the original ex-
cursion. For the future there should
be fewer of these rash adventures.
Great as his achievements were"
concludes the Kalamazoo Gazette,
"Amundsen deserves equal honor In his
tory for his fine character as a man.
Next to courage, his dominating trait
was modesty. Even in the bitter quar-
rel aroused by Mobile regarding the
division of credit for the success of the
Norge expedition Amundsen did not at
tempt to speak for himself until he had
been provoked to the extreme. When
he finally did rise in his own defense
his manner was characteristically mild,
his words quiet and dignihed."
