Mobile Holds Lives
OF His Mates We're
Not Lost i'm Vain
Says Expedition Accom-
plished Much Scientific.
ally, Despite Deaths.
BY EDWARD SToRER.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicaso Daily
News. Copyrieht, 1923.
ROME, August 2.-"The world has
been so absorbed in the dramatic side
of the polar expedition that it has al
most forgotten the scientific and geo.
graphical side" said Gen. Umberto
Mobile in an hours conversation today
with this correspondent.
The greater part of our scientific
material has been saved" the general
said, 'and it should be borne IN mind
that with two more hours of flight be-
fore the accident to the Italia we
should have accomplished our minimum
program of flights. We flew for over
1874 homs over unknown regions, which
was double the result effected on the
last expedition with Amundssn."
The general said that If lives un-
fortunately had been lost on the ex-
pedition they had not been lost alto
gether in vain, as definite objects had
been accomplished by the expedition.
The general had made it a condition
of the interview that he should not be
asked to speak on anything OF q
polemical nature. nor reply 10 criti-
cisms made on the conduct of the ex-
pedition.
Asked what was for him the most
thrilling moment of the whole expedi-
ton, he said that 1t was when Biagi,
radio expert of the expedition. got into
radio contact with the world again
from the ice pack.
He said the first cables received when
he landed at Virgo Bay after his res
cue were from Americans, Robert Un-
derwood Johnson and Harry Guggen-
helm.
Gen. Mobile said the expedition had
six chronometers, three of which got
damaged, but that the party knew the
hour at the time He showed his radio
diary i'll which we're penciled all the
messages sent from the ice pack, In
cluding the first s o s picked up by the
Citta di Milano Mobile said he had
been much otuched by the warm-heart-
ed reception accorded him on his re-
turn to Italy and had been gratified
at the kindly tributes Of sympathy
given en- route through Sweden and
Germany.
He thinks there Is still a chance Of
finding the members of the crew with
the envelope Of the Italia and does not
despair of the possibility of reaching
Amundsen.

Pope COmmends

In Face of Death
Early Christian Women
Cited i'm Renewal of
Dress Plea.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
ROME. August Pope Plus be-
lieves that women today should re-
member the modesty in dress shown
by the women who we're among the
early Christian martyrs in Rome. Re-
ceiving in audience the Organization
Against Immodesty in Womens Dress
he said:
christianity transformed pagan
women into Christian women to such
touching point that women dragged
into the circus to be torn to pieces by
wild animals were more concerned
about covering their nudity than about
saving their lives"
He urged the organization to con-
tinue its struggle against immodesty in
dress "even If it doesn't give innmedi-
ate results"
Osservatore Domano. organ Of the
Vatican. in reporting the papal audi
ence urged the government to join the
religious authorities by passing bill
proniolting the puDHcation OF pictures
of immodesty in dress.
The organization in calling on the
Poiftiff presented him with an album
containing the signatures of more than
$4,000 ecclesiastics who pledged them
selves Ito wage war without truce
against immodesty in women's dress"
He expressed his satisfaction In going
through the album.
The Pope also accepted with grati-
tude. file of the weekly named Italian
Women showing the fervent crusade
carried on for over year against the
anti-Christian habit of immodest dress
