Captain Robert Falcon Scott and a party of more than a score left Lon don on^ June 1, 1911, 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 reached on November 26. having fur nished and established a depot at One-Ton Camp. Corner Camp was situated in latiude 81:15 seconds. On December 4 the party had suc ceeded iti 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 degrees 56 minutes, a depot for food and 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 3. 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 who had made the jour ney thus far protested strenuously against being forced to return to the winter quarters, but discipline pre- yailed and they complied. On January 18, 1912, 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 oAWWII nil//// % gjjPpfei- mm®®, K \ mM ■ \\ Offmm ■ ■. . . •> V ■- ***** J...

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. VIENNA, May 80.—While the Aus trian Government investigated the alleged sale of army secrets to the Russian government by a clique of officers, headed by Colonel Red I, 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 documentary Information as to the entire military plans to the Triple Alliance, two fel low officers visited Redl's apartments in the dead of night. They left a loaded revolver in Redl’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 endeavors to keep the affair a secret. Audacious Suffrage Posters Stir Wales Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. CARDIFF, WALES, May 30.—Suf- ragettes cut a number of telephone wires through the Taff Valley to-day. interrupting communication in that part of Glamorganshire. Posters bearing audacious inscriptions were left behind the women. The authorities are investigating, but have little hope of catching the culprits, as It is believed they came from London and are in biding here at the home of a sympathizer with the cause. explorer, had preceded them, making his journey by a different route.

' directly above It was the Norwegian flag. .It was on the discouraging return from the pole that Captain Scott and his party perished most miserably in a blizzard. For two months they struggled to reach One-Ten Depot, which had been established 120 miles south of the winter quarters. During the months of February and March the members of the party died, one by one. Petty Officer Evans was the first to pass away. He died of con cussion of the brain, the result of a fall on the ice. Ctaptain Oates died on March 17. He had suffered most intense agony for several days. His feet had become frozen and it had become, necessary for captain to carry him Perish in Blizzard. Realizing that lie was a burden upon the party and that his injuries might be the cau&e of the-ileatn of all, he crept off into the darkness one night and when found had been ft en to death. This might have been termed suicide, but Captain Scott in his diary branded it an act of the greatest heroism. Aboht 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, where it became evident that Captain Scott and fhe' others must have either died or become lost some where between there and the South Pole. 'Fhe search continued..and on November 12, fight months after ttie tragedy, the. bodies of three of the he- roejwere found.
