It TROOPS SENT TO QUSET SHANGHAI DISTURBANCES Organization of Relief Expedition To Search For Amundsen Asked By Norwegians. Oslo, June 9. (A. P.) It was announced today that the Nor wegian aero association has asked the American relief expedition. New York, June 9. (A. P.) liernou S. Prentice, chairman of a coimnittte ai fointed by Amundsen to organize an American relief ex pedition, should such a step be come necessary, said today that he was in communication with Cap tain Donald D. MucMillan con cerning plant, to rescue the miss ing explorers. The Norwegian Aero association does not expect the American com mittee to undertake a separate rearch for Amundsen, Mr. Pren tice said, but merely desires to have Us co-operation. If Macnfil- an requires additional funds for relief measured, he said, the Amer ican committee will do its share to also them. Copenhagen, Denmark, June 9. (A. P.) The best chance of finding Captain Hoald Amundsen and bis campaign polar fliers, is at Cape Columbia, West Green land, where the American expedi tion under Donald MacMiltau is going. In the opinion of J. Dau gaard Jensen, governor of Green land. Thinks Fuel Exhausted "I believe Amundsen Is en route there, as he has not returned to Spitzeuborgen," said M. Jensen today. ''Some mishap has oc curred, doubtless to the airplanes, or in trying to reach the pole he used so much petrol that he was unable to return to his starting place and therefore flew ns far as possible toward Cape Columbia, which is nearer the pole by a third than Spitsbergen. "Depots were laid out by Gott fried Hansen at Cape Columbia, Richard sound and Fort Conger. They will probably be Amund sen's salvation. This Is one more proof of his foresight. "The depots were laid out with a viow to the Maude exedltion when he Intended going Into the fee by the New Siberian Island? and realized he might be forced to return afoot. When the flying expedition started, those depots were taken Into consideration.'-' Smtzberpen Loricnl Bse Governor Jensen believes, how ever, that Spitsbergen Is the only spot from which an active effort to rescue Amundsen is possible. At other places, as along the east coast of Greenland or at Cape Columbia, the relief expeditions must waft until he turns up. Colonel Koch, chief of the Danish air force, does not believe the probability of finding the Amundsen party by airplane search is very great. Tie octrees with other authorities that such a sovch is like "looking for a nerdie In a haystack." EASTERN STAR OPENS ANNUAL CONVENTION Portland, Or., June 9.
