AMUNDSEN IS SECRETIVE EXPXiOREB SAILS TTVAVXQUXCKiJ r TO SOtTH POLE. Northern Expedition la Abandoned After Patrons) Have Subscribed Sufficient Money. LONDON, May 17 (Speeial.) Why Captain Amundsen went South when everybody believed him to hava gone north is explained in a letter to the Times from Dr. Nansen. When the dis covery or the North Pole was an nounced. Captain Amundsen ceallsed that he could not get the funds to make his projected expedition a paying ven ture. He had spent years in prepara tion, and had - collected considerable sums of money. He had either to abandon this expedition altogre her, or do something of so much publio interest that money would be forthcoming. So he turned his ship about and went off to th. South Pole the still undis covered portion on the- surface of the earth. He told nobody until he got to Madeira. Tet nobody, it seems, has a right of objection except the subscrib ers, who are getting a South Pole ex pedition when they paid for North Polar exploration. Apparently no objection hag come from that quarter. The rivalry with Captain Scoti is a small matter, and can excite neither resent ment nor jealousy. The Pole is to be achieved by the best equipped and best disciplined men, and whoever is there first need fear no Jealousy from other parties or other nations. Dr. Naneen says: "I understand that Captain Amundsen has been blamed in the press for not having announced at an earlier date his intention of going to the South Pole before starting on his long North Polar expedition; the opin ion being, as far as I can gather, that his plan ought to have been discussed beforehand. Indeed, it seems that some people are even Inclined to regard his action as unfair. I cannot but think that such views are due to some mis construction of Amundsen's real mo tives. I wish to say that I have had much to do with Amundsen, and on all occasions, whatever the circumstances might be, he always acted as a man, and my firm conviction is that an un fair act of any kind would be entirely alien to his nature. "As for myself, I must admit that if I had known of his plan beforehand I might possibly have warned him against going South, for fear that i it would be too hard a strain upon a man first to go on a trying South Polar ex pedition and then straight away to a drift voyage across the North Polar basin, calculated to last at least five or six years. I have never heard of any plan approaching It, and although my opinion is that Amundsen, if anybody, is the very man to carry out such a glgantlo task, I should not have cared to have taken th. responsibility of en couraging him GEHS CROWDED OUT 1MXUX OP FOREIGX LABOR IS PKRPLEXLXG PROBLEM. Thousands of Native Are Unable to Obtain Work in Fields or Fac- -torles, I Asserted. BERLIN, May 17. (Special.) Every Spring the organs of the Agrarian-Conservative party start an animated dis cussion concerning th. fact that over a million foreigners find employment In German fields and factories, while often aa many natives cannot find employment at aJL According to the census of 1908, there were. In Prussia alone- 780,000 foreign laborers and workmen, and the rest of the million la made up by an estimated 260,000 foreigners in Saxony, Baden, Ba varia and other states whose native labor supply does not meet the local demand. The Immigrant invasion does not cease during bad years of employment. It continued when German industry was on the down grade; when from 0,000 to 100.000 Berlin laborers were out of work during part of the Winter. Foreigners usually regard thia Invasion as made up only of field laborers, but that view is wrong. In 1908 only 309,000 were en gaged In agriculture, whereas 471,000 found employment in Industry. Tet neither In agriculture' nor In industry were the labor conditions satisfactory. Germany's dependence on foreign la bor becomes more marked every year. Thus, in the three years. 190S-8, the number of immigrant workmen in Prus sia alone grew 336,000. In the latter year 843,000 Austro-Hungarians, 184,000 Russians (mostly Poles), 106,000 Italians and 104,000 Hollanders were employed, not to mention smaller armies from Bel glum and th. Balkan states. The Aus trian and Dutch increase most rapidly. Superficially regarded, both sides prof it from the, deals. The immigrants, being usually less civilised than Ger mans, and less efficient as laborers, re turn home Improved, and they bring with them annually an estimated 837,500,000. This, being only 337.50 a bead, is a mod erate eatimate. The Poles particularly profit. Much of their earnings go into Polish land banks, and in that way money paid to them by Pole-hating Prussian landed proprietors Is used to combat Prussian influence and to buy up Prussian land. Germany profits by getting a supply of cheap labor for unskilled enterprises. This enables native Germans to monop olize the better-paid employments. De spite this profit, both thoughtful Ger mans and mere hunters of cheap labpr are dissatisfied with the system. Hlllsboro Septuagenarian Dies. HILLSBORO, Or. May 17. (Special.!

Dis patches received at the Toklo T. M. C A. say that China is responding liberally; to the offer made by America to give 82,000,000 for T. M. C A. buildings in ' the Celestial Empire. Three sites for association buildings have already been secured. They are in Pekln. Hongkong and Canton. On. Chinese official, Mr. Oyang, of, Tientsin, is said to have contributed 20,000 taels, and the response to the offer: elsewhere throughout the empire is said to have been most flattering. It is thought that within a short time all the sites needed in China will have been, secured, and when this is done the, money, now held in trust in New Tork, will be Bent for the building. China it Is said, is even more willing to accept the benefits of the T. M. C. A. than is Japan. The Chinese T. M. C. A. hero receives 50.000 yen, and that in Cores, 20,000 yen. There are at present something ilka 8749 Chinese students 'atending the sohools and universities in Japan. Of this number there are but 30 girls. The Meijl Da sa Ku has 800, the largest number here. The Hosel Daigaku comes next with 668. , The Seisoku English school is educating S16 Chinese youths, and ther. are something like .,,.. ... .1 f.I 1 Vnkllrn 177 at W.A. eda University, 178 at the Central Uni versity, 180 at the Toklo Higher School, 154 at the Dobun Sholn, and other minor, institutions have some. Of the 3749 Chinese students here, S60 of them belong to the Chinese T. M. C. A., so that the work of that Institution is heavy. Nowhere in the world, snd probably never before in history, has one nation held out a hand in such an appealing manner as China is doing to Japan, her very sise and lack of cohesion makes her vulnerable, and In her slowly awakening .Nationalism sne is BeunuiK guidance from her nearest neighbor, willing to pay heavily for her school ing. Japan, in the role of school teacher of a subject she has but mastered herself within the last generation civilization is another separate and intensely in teresting study. Willing or unwilling she is teaching all the Orient the vir tues of organization, modern methcras. Western habits Of thought. What it will mean to the other nations of the world remains, of course, to be seen, but" the fact is that Japan is doing American business and American' in dustry an invaluable service.
