Three Antaretic expeditions are enga.ed in a thrilling international race with the South Polo as the goal. They are:
The British expetition under Captain Boott.
Captain Roald Amundson's Norwegian oxpedition in the Fram.
A Japanoso expedition under Lieutenant Shirase. The British expedition' ander. Captain Scott sailed in the steamer Terra Noed from Port Chalmers, Now Zealand, on November 29 last, and consisted of fifty-eight officers and men, thirty-five dogs, nineteen ponies, two rabbits, and two cats.

He expects to be absent from Caps Evans for two months.
The Norwegian expedition under Captain Amundsen went to the Antarctic in the steamer Fram, and is wintering in the Bay of Whales, in longitude 164 W The expedition includes eight mon a 136 Greenland dogs, and has full equipment for's journey to the Polo.

The Express has always vehemently in- sisted on the recessity of an unchallengeable British Navy and a anfficient and efficient British Army. It insists on these safeguards today. We have emphasised in season and out of euon our aced of such a Navy and Army; not, as Mr. Hardio suggested in the House Commons, because any section of Englishmen or any individual Englishman wishes for a moment foreilly to prevent the development of German trade, but because we believe that under the eircumstances of the modern world, without such weapons of defence the contine
ace of the Empire, the national oxistence, and the libortion of the people are impossible.
Although we have been among the most omphatic in exposing the folly of economania and the importance of an-tinted expenditure on the Army and the Navy, we are not blind to the serious results of the enormous expendituro forced upon the modern world by the necessities of defence and the development and garfots of warships and guns.
