'* AMUNDSEN TO
FOLLOW TRAIL
J* -
NOME, Sept. 3 (by Associated
Press).—Trails blazed across the Arc
tic ice pack a quarter of a century ago
by Fritjof Nansen, Norwegian ex
plorer, were expected to be followed,
for a distance, by Nansen’s fellow
countryman, Captain Roald Amundsen,
discoverer of the south pole, when he
left Nome on an attempt to drift
across or near the north pole.
Nansen, in 1895, attempting the
8ame drift, sailed around Russia and
Siberia and locked his boat, the Fram,
In the ice off the New Siberian islands,
which lie in the Arctic north of Si
beria. Amundsen, on leaving Nome,
Unsaid he planned to sail to the same
New Siberian islands, let his boat, the
Maude, freeze in the ice and then
allow the winds and currents to carry
him where they washed.
Explorers’ theories that an Arctic
ocean current starts near the New
Siberian islands, runs through the
Polar sea, across or near the Pole, and
finally ends at Greenland, in the At
lantic, w’ere used by both Nansen and
Amundsen as a base upon which they
made their plans.
Existence of the current has been
disputed by many Arctic authorities,
who claimed the wind and not the cur
rent determined the route of the ever
drifting Polar ice. Nansen, one of the
0 first advocates of the theory, pointed
to the fact that wreckage from the
exploring craft, the Jeanette, de
stroyed near the New Siberian islands,
was found twro years after the wreck
along the Greenland coast. A ‘throw
ing stick” used by Alaskan Eskimos
was found, it has been claimed, in
rlriftwnnfl nn a nreoland heanh. The
wreckage and the stick, it was argued,
lodged on an ice floe which carried
them across the Polar wastes to"
Greenland.
Nansen found the drift not so strong
as he expected, mainly because the
Polar basin was much deeper than he
had believed. He also discovered that
the wind determined, to a great ex
tent, the route of the ice drifts. The
Pram was carried to within 350 miles
of the pole and later cleared the ice
near Greenland. When the drifting
Pram arrived at the 82nd parallel,
Nansen attempetd to reach the pole
over the ice. With one companion
he left the ship and, in what has been
described as the most daring sledge
journey ever undertaken, proceeded to
the 86th degree, at that time the
farthest north ever reached by man.
There he truned back.

AT CONFERENCE
_ I
THE HAGUE, Sept. 3 (by Associ
ated Press).— In the course of the
jurists’ conferences which have been
held here to draw up plans for the
organization of an international high
court of justice, Raoul Fernandez, the
Brazilian delegate, found Elihu Root
a strong supporter in his fight for the
interests of small nations.
At two different occasions Mr. Root
succeeded in inducing the conference
to adopt articles which Senor Fernan
dez proposed but which only met with
a cold reception until Root came to
Fernandez’ assistance.
The first case was the right of the
country which had no judge in the
court to name a judge to sit while
that country’s case was before the
court.
The second case in which Fernan
dez and Root closely collaborated
was when the latter’s proposal to
extend the power of supplementary
judges was about to be rejected.
According to the original plan the
vacancies caused through the absence
of judges could only be filled when
at least three judges wrere absent.
Mr. Root, however, supported the Fer
nandez amendment, and the substi
tute takes the function as soon as one
judge is absent. In these two cases
the small powers are closely interest
ed. The small powers are to have
a majority in the high court, there
being five judges representing the
big powers and six representing the
small powers while also the substi
tutes belong to the small countries.
This majority was endangered by
the old plan when in case two ab
sent judges the small powers vacan
cies would not be filled and the big
i powers would have a majority of five
to four.
