By the Associated Press. SHANGHAI, December 13.—Forces of the Nationalist government today ap- parently had fought to a standstill three rebellious armies in widely sepa- rated parts of China, but the threat of widespread revolt, almed at the over- | throw of Nanking, still remained. Probably the most outstanding vic- tory was that over the insurgent forces beaten back from the gates of Canton with heavy losses. Reports from the southern aetropolis indicated that the “Ironsides” Division of Gen. Chang Fak-Wei ‘and insurgents from Kwangsi Province, who several weeks ago co- operated in an advance upon Canton, still were retreating. Bloody Three-Day Battle. These rebels were whipped in a bloody | three-day battle just outside the city. Half of the insurgents were said to have been numbered among the casualties, including captured. Nationalist losses were not mentioned. Another unit of the Nationalist army was credited with having stopped the advance upon Nanking, the Nationalist capital, of the Pukow mutineers at Chu- chow, 50 miles north of the rebel ob- jective. Some 30,000 rebels were in- volved in this encounter. Troops drawn by the government from the less re- | belliously inclined areas were whipped |into an army to stop the mutineers and were reported to be holding the |line as the fighting subsided. BY RUSSELL OWEN. By Radio to The Star and New York Times. LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctia, De- cember 12.—A review of the explora- | tion work already done by airplane has | convinced Comdr. Byrd that the pur- pose of the expedition has been ac- | complished. | “'The flights planned before the ex- | pedition left home have been carried out, although the eastern flying activi- ties were shifted, after the preliminary | flights of last year, more to the north than had been anticipated because the | importance of work in that direction | | was shown by the suggestion of land seen there on the first flight to King Edward Land. | Storm Blocks Geologists. | Meantime the geological party led by Dr. Lawrence Gould is completing | its work in the Queen Maud Mountains. | A message from Dr. Gould reads: “Back down glacier to Camp Strom last_night and stormbound all day. “will make another attempt to lo- cate your cache before we start east. With your last instructions we hope to find it. “This i§ first day since we left Little America that we have had to lose on account of weather.” Comdr. Byrd and his party have found th-t King Edward Land and adjacent territory are more prolific in important discoveries than the inland flights from the trail between Little America and the Queen Maud Range. Covers 150,000 Square Miles. Comdr. Byrd feels that the explora- tion flights have been more than he an- | ticipated because of the extent of the new land discovered to the northeast. STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, DECEmMBER 13, summer, fogs and clouds and variable winds become inevitable. Flight of Norge Is Cited. After Comdr. Byrd's flight to the North Pole the airship Norge started and the many days of good weather, | calm and with cloudless skies, ended as_soon as the airship reached the Pole. From there the party headed by Amundsen and Ellsworth flew through fog and mist to Alaska and saw a much smaller area than they had anticipated. Until Byrd left Spitzbergen the weather remained thick and stormy. The Antarctic is no exception to these seasonal changes apparently, for in the days since the eastern flight there have been overcast skies, dense fog and winds shifting all around the compass. For the season it appears that the fl‘sz program was concluded just in time. “I've the safety of the men fo con- sider under such conditions,” said Comdr. Byrd. “I think it is safe to say that it would be unwise as well as unprofitable to do any more flying this year except for a short hop or two. I have asked my men to take chance after chance to complete our work. They have served science and been fortunate to come through safely. 1 am going to think of them. They have completed the mission better than we hoped for. They seem to crave hazards and danj But my duty now is to do my utmost to get them home. Besides, flying in thick weather down here is barren of geographical results.” Trek Out Afoot Is Inadvisable. There is another reason for not mak- ing further extensive flights. | pictures, If the THRIFT SHOP PUTS PASTRIES ON SALE Dainty Cakes and Pies, Home- made, Are Offered at Food Counters. Cakes, pies, rolls and other pastries, together with preserves and similar seasonal dainties, all from the kitchens of the various women represented on the boards of its four beneficiary in- stitutions, are being featured today and tomorrow at the weekly food sale of the Thrift Shop, 504 Tenth street. This little shop, now in the second year of successful existence, is run for the joint benefit. of the Child Welfare Associa- tion, the Children’s Hospital, the Chil- dren’s Country Home and the prenatal clinic of Columbia HDSFRIL Those who may visit the shop with purchases of permanent articles, either for use or for adornment, in mind, are urged to visit the tastefully arranged food counters on the second floor. The shop announces that it has on hand at this time a particularly full and varied stock of garments, shoes, china, ornaments, bric-a-brac and that it is also featuring toys for Christ- mas. Some of the ornaments offered for sale, coming as they do from the larger houses of Washington, are really fine pieces and would be worthy of special display in the best antique shops.

The flights would have been curtailed now even though the proposed work had not been com- pleted because of the change in the weather. 1t has been found that in the Antarc- tic, as in the Arctic, the best time for flying is in the Spring or early Summer. Since the eastern flight the sky has | been free of clouds for only brief inter- | vals, with the warmer weather has come fog and quick changes in the wind direction aloft which mix up the atmosphere and make an overcast sky so_that fiying would be like fiying “in a bucket of milk.” Photography Is Impossible. Under these conditions any accurate observations and photographs would not only be impossible but there would be great danger of crashing in a thick atmosphere where neither the horizon nor the snow could be seen. Comdr. Byrd outlined the program of flying in New York. He intended to fly to the Pole, making two or three flights to the west inland and also one to the east. The day" after the eastern flight, all| that area was barred by clouds and apparently the conditions which headed off Comdr. Byrd last year have come to stay. So outside of & possible flight to the eastward from a point on the Southern trail about 160 miles from camp and a short exploration flight southeast from Little America, it seems as though the work in the air was not only incomplete but could not be continued to any extent. ‘When Comdr. Byrd first outlined the program of flying in New York, he in- tended to fly to the east inland and also fly to the northeast past King Edward Land. The polar flight has been ac- complished and the occasional messages from home which indicate that peop]el think it may be repeated, shows how little the flying hazards of this country have been appreciated, possibly be- cause of the skill with which the flights have been carried out. Barely Beat Storm to Camp. The polar flight was made at a time when for a period of several days there was clear weather at the mountains and as it was the plane reached camp just before a storm, which chased it all the wry from the plateau. Since then, the geological party has reported snowstorms, clouds and vari- able winds which would have made the dangerous flight throughout the moun- tains impossible as well as barren of sclentific resuits. On this flight it was necessary to wait patiently for good weather and to take immediate advantage of it when it came. The opportunity might not come more than once or twice in a whole year so that good fortune had to play its part. The eastern flights between Little America and the Queen Maud Mountains were found on the polar base laying flights to be of less importance than a flight past King Ed- ward Land. Limits of the Barrier to the east in the region seems to extend as far as the eye can see, about 100 miles. A short flight to east along the Queen Maud Range was made on the return from the Pole and a new conception of Carmen Land was gained. The re- sults of these two flights and the tan- talizing flight of last year to the north- east when Comdr. Byrd was so sure he saw a mountain beyond King Ed- ward Land indicates that the next| flight should be made in that direction.
