Prepare Berth for Ex-

from side to side and shivering with
the smash of ice against timbers. Some
dog teams appeared about this time
heading for the ship and the New York
was laid alongside the ice for half an
hour while they we're loaded with coal
bags and sent away again. This time
Bursey and his team went through the
ice not far from the ship. While men
were running to his aid Bursey lay on
the edge OF the hole braced against his
siedge so that it could not go in and
saved the precious coal. The ice here
was much thicker, however, and safer
than at the previous disembarking
point.
When the sledgeS were loaded the
ship was turned eastward toward the
barrier, almost at right angles to its
former course through the ice, and
showed what lot of thick ice ship
can break up when it is handled care
fully. We were working against ice
that was ridged and heaved up with
pressure, so much so that in places
there were cakes standing like pillars
10 feet above the surface. There was
also ice that was confined by pressure
ice on two sides and by the barrier on
the other, which made the task much
harder. Byrd was skeptical as to how
much he could accomplish. but felt
that If the barrier could be reached and
the ice broken up so that it might move
out or in quickly it would help greatly
in unloading the Eleanor Boiling,
which is now the greatest problem
facing the expedition.
Ice 10 Feet Thick.
The ship went full speed ahead into
this mass of twisted and upheaved ice,
pieces Of which were at least 10 feet
thick below the water line. Time and
again the bow would ride up on one
of these huge foes, forcing a way be-
tween uplifted and jagged cakes Of
presSure-ice and slide off again when
the engines were reversed without ap-
parently making any impression upon
the blue glittering mass which we could
see below the water. Two or three
times this would be done and then the
ice would crack and slowly be forced
aside. A yard at time the ship made
its way toward the barrier in this way,
Keeling under the shocks and swaying
rapidly aside when stubborn cake de-
fiected it as it charged forward, until
the barrier was only a hundred yards
away. But it might just as we'll have
DSen a mile, LOT point was reached
where We could not go any farther, and
Byrd decided to back out and go back
to the last point where coal had been
unloaded Most of the day and a good
part of the evening was spent in this
attempt and it did some good, for the
ice has been split and broken so much
that good southerly wind might blow
it out and We hope that this will hap
pen. The Eleanor Boiling is coming
more slowly so as to economize on coal
and there will be about two days for the
ice to move before she arrives.
The Eleanor Boiling is alongside the
Larsen or perhaps left, just now. Be-
lieve this means about $50 miles from
the barrier.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 26.-The eight
zenith amendment, like the policy of
reconstruction in the South, has turned
many respectable people into law
breakers, caused no small amount of
violence and crime and placed the
country in the unhealthy condition of
being at odds with itself. DR.. A. Law
renee Lowell, president of Harvard Uni
verSity, asserts in an article on Re
construction and Prohibition" appear
ing in the February issue of the At
lantic Monthly.
The present enforcement of the law
he described as "veXatious, demOraliz-
ing and inefficient" LAS every one
knows, the law is not enforced. and as
time goes on it seems to be less and
less effective" he said.
Urging the necessity Of ending the
present unhealthy condition. DR..
Lowell suggested that the question as
to whether prohibition enforcement can
be made thoroughly effective and MAIN
tanned for considerable time be
studied from the standpoint of true
statesman with ali open mind. free
from prejudice. by a careful eXamina-
ton of facts and conditions and in the
light of experience"
Effective Enforcement Urged.
IF after such a study enforcement
appears to be feasible and desirable by
methods which can practically be APP
piled. it should be SO administered as
to be really effective, instead OF being,
as now, vexatious, demoraliZing and In
efficient" he continued.
If found uncomfortable, he suggested
that the law be so modified as to pre-
serve such important features as the
abolition of the open saloon and should
permit communities which desire ana
can carry out absolute exclusion OF
liquor to enjoy that privilege; whlle
at the same time discarding things
which are not essential for this pur-
pose and are found to impede enforce
ment.
THE question seems to be one OF
major Importance, DR.. Lowell went on
to say, and its future will depend
upon the moderation OF people with
conflicting opinions, and especially upon
that of the prohibitionistS.
IF the men who like cocktails and
carry hip TASKS demand that there
shall be no restraints whatever on their
liberty to drink as they please, ire
spective of the common welfare, boot
leggers will be ready to supply them,
and no compromise will be reached.
Extremists Court Danger.
eff the prohibitionists insist that
their principle unabated shall remain
the formal law. they will probably make
enforcement impossible, hamper the
growth of temperance and perpetuate
violation of the law and of good order.
The last is the most serious aspect OF
the matter.
LAS a people we have been law abid-
ing, not by compulsion from above,
but from sense of the fitness of things.
The success of self-government is based
on a confidence that ones neighbors
will conform to the established rules of
conduct, and anything that undermines
