The Georgian publishes to-day the first photographs of the great disaster of the South Pole in which Captain Robert E. Scott and others of his brave crew lost their lives. The large figure at the top Is the last photo- graph taken of Captain Scott. It was made a few days before his death by Lieutenant Bowers. The photograph below shows the ’cairn in the frozen wastes of the Ant arctic where to-day lie the bodies Captain Scott, Dr. Edward A. Wilson and Lieutenant H. R. Bowers. The bodies were coveerd with the tent in which they were found by the rescu ing party, and records identifying them were left in the tomb of ice. Over the mass of ice and snow the cross erected by the rescuers in mem ory of the heroes is seen. In the back ground of the picture are to be seen the skis of Captain Scott that carried him over so many miles of snow and ice. They were planted upright in a small mound of frozen snow by the rescuers, and so firmly that neither wind nor storm would be likely to dis lodge them. About the icy tfomb may be seen the footprints of the rescuing party^ as its members tramped through the snow while erecting the burial mound. How Scott Found Pole. Captain Robert Falcon Scott and a party of more than a score left Lon don on June 1, lpll, on board the Terra Nova for Portsmouth and Car diff on the first leg of a journey to the South Pole. On September 1, 1911, winter quar ters were established within the Ant arctic Circle. Shortly thereafter, Meares and Mimitre. two of Captain Scott’s men, with dog teams, made their way to Hut Point, and tele phone communication was established between the winter quarters and the temporary headquarters of the skir mishing party. Captain Scott, accompanied by Dr. Edward A, Wilson, chief of the scien tific staff; Lieutenant H. R. Bowers, of the Royal Navy; Cherry, Gerrard, Atkinson. Wright, Evans, Crean and Keohane, made their way to Hut Point, and on November 1, 1911, start ed for Corner Camp, which, by march ing at night and resting days, they rcai’l <•<! on November 25, having fur nished and established a depot at /> Ton Camp. Corner Camp was Situated in latiude 81:15 seconds. fm December 4 the party had suc ceeded in reaching Mount Hope, lati tude 83, and on January 3, 1912, the party was 150 miles from the pole, in latitude 87.32, at a height of 9,800 feet, the very top of the great ice barrier. Sends Some of Party Back. On New Year’s eve, in latitude 80 bggrees 56 minutes, a depot for food V >d sledges was established. These depots, formed of cairns of ice, were established from point to point as the party proceeded from its winter quar ters. On January S. 1912, Captain Scott announced to his followers that he and four men would endeavor to make the final dash to the pole. He selected as his companions in this trying journey Dr. Wilson, Cap tain Oates, of the Ineskillen dragoon, who was in charge of the ponies and mules; Lieutenant Bowers, of the Royal India Marines, and Petty Offi cer Edgar Evans, in charge of the sledges. The five men were equipped with provisions calculated to last A month. The others w.ho haft made the jour ney thus far protested .strenuously against being forced to. return tb'tTje Winter quarters, but * discipline pre vailed and they complied. : On January 18,. 191$,’ Captain Scott and his men reached the South Pole. There they .learned that all of their struggles had been in vain, for Cap tain Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian will be a eome in and miner sup- while our stock is at its best—silks and all other favored ma terials in solids, figures and stripes—at $1.50 to $5 .'00.- he crept off into the darkness one night and when found had been frozen to death. This might have been termed suicide, but Qaptain Scott in his diary branded it an act of the greatest heroism. % About March 29 a terrific blizzard overtook the three survivors, the only protection against the fierce Antarctic storm being a tattered and windblown tent. In this tent Captain Scott, Dr. Wilson and Bowers expired- In the meantime the reserve party at winter quarters had organized a rescuing crew and a search was instigated. One-Ton Depot was reached by the crew, V vvhere it became evident that Captain Scott and the others miist have either died or become lost some where between there and the South Pole. The search continued, ami on November 12, eight months after the tragedy, the bodies of three of the he roes were found.

VIENNA, May 30.—While the Aus trian Government investigated the alleged sale of army secrets to the Russian government by a clique of officers, headed by Colonel Redl, of the military secret police, who com mitted suicide following his expo sure, it was reported to-day In army circles that two other officers in volved in the scandal had taken their lives. •The facts make a sensational and dramatic story. When it had been definitely learned that Redl was treacherously selling army plans to Russia, together with dooumentary lnformation as to the entire military plans to the Triple Alliance, two fel low officers visited Redl’a apartments In the dead of night. They left a loaded revolver in Rfedl’s hands, at the same time in forming him that they would return at dawn- to arrest him. The hint was obvious and Redl took it. He shot himself while the officers were descending the stairs. The Government has used utmost ende&vors to keep the affair a secret.
