SHACKELTON MADE DEFINITE_ PLANS Had First Intended to Go to Arctic Regions London, Dec. 1.—If 8ir Ernest Bhackelton had been able to carry out his plans his last expedition would Lave been to the Arctic and not to the Antarctic, as he har planned to ex- plore BeBaufort Bea and had bought the Quest for that purpose, but a change of mind on the part of the Canadian government forced him to alter his destination. This statement was made before the Royal Geo- graphical ' society by Commander Frank Wild, who succeeded Shackle- ton in command of the Quest. BeBaufort Sea, explained the lec- turer, was a 'large unexplored arca and Shackelton conceived the plan of charting it. The scheme naturally in- terested the Canadlan government considerably. Only a narrow strait separated Ellesmere from Greenland, which is Danish territory, and they feared that some day the Danes might cross to Ellesmereland and seize it, so they wished to annex the tract for- mally before that happened. Consequently, when Shackelton dis- cussed his expedition to Beaufort Sea, he recefved promises of financial as-| sistance from' Ottawa. In England his chief supporter was John Rowatt, who had always had a keen interest in scientific matters. With his backing, Sir Ernest went ahead, but after he had acquired the Quest and recruited a number of her crew, the Canadian promises of help weére suddenly with- drawn, Shackelton thus found him- self in great financial difficulties, but as soon as Rowatt heard of them he at once came to the rescue and as- sumed full responsibility. Season Was Over. But by this time the season for Arctic exploration ‘was over and &o Sir Ernest evolved plams for an ex- pedition to the Antarctic and sub-Ant- artic regions. The change, however, carried with it great disadvantages. There had to be a change in general organization, gear and equipment, but his driving power was so great that he carried it through in three months. . In particular the Quest ~was verw| much less fitted for the journey to the Southern Seas. She was admirably suited for the Arctic where the main work would have been done on shore, but she was too small and her en- gines were too low power for the cruise that the trip to the Antarctic riecessitated. Still, she was strong| and well formed and a better little seaboat had never been built, as the way she stood up to the violent storms she encountered abundantly proved Shackelton did what he could to fit! her for his new plans and would have | replaced her old steam engines by more powerfui internal combustion engines, but a strike of the ship workers occurred at a critical junc- ture and this was impossible. - De- ‘scribing the geueral equlpmenn Wild said that it ‘was interésting to note that thé Sperry gyroscopic compass which was installed in the deckhouse had been' designed by a Gérman to enable a submarine to reach the|y, North Pole. It had proved a most handy instrument except for the ver$ purpose it was ‘intended to serve. Near the poles it: lost all directive power and was quite useless.

ADVICE T0 HEBREWS Jewish Organizations Told by Gorard That Protestants Will Crush K. K, . K. Without Their Aid. New York, Dec. 1.-—Jewish organi- zations need take no’ action against the Ku Klux Klan but may leave the task of combatting the body to Pros- | estants, James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, told mem- bers of the congregation of B'Nal Jeshurum in a Thanksgiving day ad- dress. “I have been informed that Jew- ish organization, B'Rith Abraham, has said it will crush the Klan,” Mr, Gerard said. "I will say to you that no Jewish organization will need to- take any action. Leave it to- us Protestants. “The principal reason for Thanks- giving,” he said, “was that there still is liberty in America. But,” he add- ed, “organizations like the plan are its enemies. Religion, morality and Americanism do not need masks." FRENCH MISSION COMING Army Officers To Be Sent To U. 8. De- spite Objections By Some of the TLeading Deputies. Paris, Dec. 1.

No specific countries in either North or South America were men- b L tione Wien QP nmendment was moved Deputy, Barthe exclaimed: “Mlssfons Iike that of Gen. Mangin have done enough injury to France.” At this there was lively protests from various parts of the chamber, and War Minister Maginot took the floor, exclatming: “I cannot allow it to be said that a mission as glorious as that of Ge Mangin has done injury to France. The appropriation was then proved. Gen. Mangin visited South America last year and represented France at the Peruvian independence celebea- tion. He was given warm receptions in the various capitals of the southern continent. FLURRY IN COPPER Wall Street Has Report That Ana- conda Copper Company Is Negotiat- ing for Guggenheim Shares.

In all of these states, ex- cept Georgla and Alabama, the law prescribes that the reading must be without comment. Reading from both the Old and the New Testament is required in Georgia, and only the New Testament is specified In the New Jersey law; the other states do not require any special part of the Bible, The amount which must be read | varies considerably. Georgia requires |that at least one chapter be read each day; Penmsylvania and Tennessee re- quire at least 10 verses each and New Jersey 5 verses. Massachusetts and Alabama do not specify the ‘amount to be read. At the written request of a parent or guardian a pupil may be excused from the Bible reading in Georgia {and Tennessee.

Beyond that exten- sion, operation of the craft is at the owner's risk. The percentage of ship owners tak- ing this risk usually i{s smail, it was said, but every fall, due to desire to move special cargoes before the per- fod of idleness sets in, several ships travel the ice filled lakes without in- surance protection. Considering the value of the vessels which frequently runs as high as $1,000,000 and that of the cargo which sometimes reaches similar figures, local mariners term these undertakings “high finance.” Freed of the insurance premiums which usually run into the thousands and given an extra large fee for their cargoes, these skippers stand to clear large sums of money, some as high as $50,000 for one trip. Rec- ords here show most of these ex- peditions, although completed under hazardous conditions, usually are sucs cessfully made. Weather conditions so far have leff vesselmen to believe that there will be an extremely late winter on the lakes. MINERS SKEPTICAL OF PULLMAN TRAINS However They Admit That lhe.'.lhfl- roads Are an Improvement Over the Old Order. Seward, Alaska, Dec. 1.—That “times do change/’ would be the mental comments of many early gold prospectors who faced hardship and death almost daily in their early t ips into the interlor of Alaska, were they to make the trip again today. Over the tralls which formerly car- ried “mushers” and “sourdoughs’” in their race to the new gold flelds, now run two ribbons of steel and over them government operated Pullman almost’ virgin wilderness surrounding the larger portion of the right of way. “Oldtimers" are accustoming them- selves to the new order of things, some gladly, some grudgingly. All admit the new, raliroad running be. tween Seward and Anchorage on the coast to Fairbanks and Nenana in the interlor is an improvement over the old order.
